IRIS POV

I looked at Annabelle for a bit longer than I needed to not because I was confused. Because I wanted to make sure it was really her. It had been a time since I saw Annabelle outside of my memories.

Annabelle stood up slowly her eyes getting a little narrower as she looked at me. I could tell Annabelle was thinking the things I was. How long it had been what had happened between us and what I wanted now.

"I did not expect to see you, " Annabelle said, finally, her voice more controlled

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 76: The Discipline of Denial

    Nevan’s POVThe next morning, I am standing by the window in my office, looking out at the estate grounds. My wolf pack is making its noise beneath me and I can feel it right away.It is pushing me, telling me something.My wolf has been awake since night and it is different this time. It is not nervous or unsure.It sure is.That is the problem."Enough,” I said to myself. I do not think my wolf will listen. I put my hand on the glass. It does not stop.It keeps pushing me to say one thing: mate.I try to quiet it down by pressing my fingers on the window. It does not work.So I stop trying to make it quiet.Instead, I do what I always do when something will not go away.I admit it to myself quietly where no one else can hear."Yes, " I say to myself.

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 75: A Silence That Hurt

    KATHRYN POVThe sound around me changed fast when the cheering stopped and everyone started mumbling, and I could feel lots of eyes staring at me while my breathing got all weird.No.No no no.Not again.My chest started hurting a lot.The stage lights seemed bright, and the music in the background started sounding weird because another memory popped into my head before I could stop it.A ring.A crowd of people.Everyone is watching me.My hands were shaking.Iris was standing in front of me years ago looking hopeful while I just stood there frozen. I could not breathe properly because everything happened too fast that day.This memory hit me hard, and I leaned back in my chair.“Kathryn?" Iris said goodbye.His voice sounded closer now. He seemed worried but I could barely focus on him because my heartbeat was really loud in my ears.I tried to take a breath.It did not work out.The room suddenly felt really small.The air felt really thin.My fingers were trembling in my lap whil

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 74: Under the Spotlight

    IRIS POVThe noise around us suddenly felt worse than it actually was. This was because even though the restaurant was still buzzing with music, movement, and laughter my attention had completely focused on Kathryn. The challenge that had started as a game no longer felt fun to me. The pressure in my chest had nothing to do with people watching from tables.It was her.The way she looked at me.The way she had brought up the conversation I had tried to avoid earlier and dragged it back into the open without hesitation.I leaned back a bit in my chair.. This didn't ease the tension building inside me. For the time that night, I didn't know how to organize my thoughts quickly enough to match what I was feeling.Kathryn kept watching me. She seemed too calm. The folded paper was between her fingers like an object that had somehow turned dangerous.“Do you really want me to say it here?" I asked finally. I lowered my voice despite the noise around us. The conversation suddenly felt too p

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 73: Under the Stage Lights

    KATHRYN POVThe pizza had arrived by the time the silence between us changed again. The table felt warmer like food can make the world slow down when our minds do not want to. I started eating a slice without thinking just focused on eating while Iris sat across from me calm as always which always looks easy for him when I know it is not.For a minute, life was normal, with the soft sound of plates, the distant laughter from another table, and the steady hum of the restaurant. I almost forgot about the hospital, the warnings, the speeding cars, and everything that had tried to ruin the day.Then Iris leaned back in his chair his fingers around his glass. I felt something change before he even spoke.“I need to ask you something " he said, his voice quieter, not playful just careful, which made me pay attention.I stopped eating and looked at him because something in his tone did not feel right for a dinner conversation.“What is it?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady even though

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 72: A Dangerous Kind of Comfort

    KATHRYN POVMy phone started vibrating. It was loud enough to wake me up from the daze I was in while sitting next to Celine's bed in the hospital room. For a moment I did not move because I did not want to make any noise that would disturb Celine's sleep. When I looked at Celine she was still and breathing softly.This was a deal to me.Celine had been moving around a lot earlier even when she was asleep. It was clear she was not comfortable. Now she was calm and peaceful like her body had finally relaxed.I let out a breath slowly. I was almost afraid to think that the worst part was over.My phone started vibratingI waited for a bit before I answered it. When I finally picked it up I heard Iris's voice at the end. His voice was calm and familiar. It made me feel better without him having to do much."Kathryn, " Iris said. I could hear noise in the background like he was walking out of a place. "I just got out of a meeting at the restaurant, and a report case about Celine is being

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 71: An Agreement Written in Tension

    IRIS POVAnnabelle's reaction stuck with me after we put the papers on the table between us. She was never the type to give up easily no matter how tough things got. The old Annabelle would have argued with me first then questioned everything I said and somehow she would have made everyone else in the room feel like they were overreacting. That was just who she was. Maybe that is why it bothered me so much to see her sign those papers without putting up a fight.I sat there with my fingers on the arm of the chair watching her. The silence in that office felt heavy even heavier than our conversation. She picked up the pen. Started signing the papers with slow and careful movements. Her face did not change much. I saw a bit of tension in her jaw, which told me she was holding something back.That was important.Because Annabelle never kept things inside unless they were really bad.The sound of the pen on the paper was loud and for a second my mind went somewhere I did not want it to go
