Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 164: Returning
KATHRYN’S POVThe knock on the door was soft.For a moment Iris and I just stood there in silence. I thought maybe he was not home but then I heard the lock turn and the door opened.Iris was standing there wearing a dark sweater with the sleeves pushed up to his forearms and his face changed the moment he saw me. I saw surprise, then relief,. It did not last long. He just looked at me like he had hoped I would come. He did not think I actually would.Neither Iris nor I said anything for a while.The silence was not uncomfortable, even though it felt like a long time since we last talked.I had to swallow before I could say anything."I owe Iris an apology and it is probably going to take more than one conversation " I said.Iris kept looking at me for another moment. I looked for anger or disappointment in his eyes but I did not see any of that. Instead, he stepped back. Held the door open."Come in " he said quietly.That was all he said.No accusations.No demands.No reminder of w
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 163: Waiting Without Waiting
IRIS’S POVThe morning after Kathryn left I woke up before sunrise. I really wanted to check my phone, but I stopped myself. I had decided that if I loved Kathryn I had to respect her space.The apartment was quiet except for cars driving by outside. It was nice because it gave me something to focus on.I made coffee answered emails and looked over papers from my team. Every page reminded me that Jacob was running out of time. I kept checking my phone.It didn't ring.When I saw Kathryn's name on the screen I picked it up then put it down without unlocking it.I said to myself "No you asked for time. Kathryn deserves time."Saying it out loud made it sound more convincing. It helped me not make a mistake that I would regret.The day started to feel more normal. I just went with it.I had two meetings, signed contracts, and looked over reports. Work stopped me from thinking about everything all the time.Around noon my assistant came in with a folder."Everything has been submitted," s
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 162: One Memory at a Time
I got to the hotel and I checked in. Gave them a name. I did not really hear what the receptionist was saying because it all sounded far away. I got into the elevator. It took me to the sixth floor. When the doors opened I walked down the hallway to my room.It was quiet inside.The silence felt familiar.I closed the door. Leaned against it. I let out a breath that I had been holding since I left Iris.There were no voices.There were no accusations.There were no memories attached to the things in the room.The room was plain. It had colored walls and a neat bed. The window looked out over the city. The city was still moving. It was like nothing had happened.I took off my shoes. Sat on the bed. I did not turn on the television."I need to think," I said to myself.This was not something that I could fix with tears.I had been surviving by breaking down problems into pieces. If my whole past had just changed, then I needed to look at it that way.One memory at a time.One thing I th
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 161: What Do I Do With This Love?
KATHRYN’S POVA laugh came out of me. It was shaky. Then I started crying. I covered my mouth because I could not stop making noise."Oh, God…"I could barely say the words."Oh, God…"I kept shaking my head. Tears made everything blurry."I hated you."The words just came out."I hated you for years, Iris."My voice was cracking. I had to hold onto the kitchen island to stay upright."I told myself every day that you chose yourself over us. Every time I thought about our wedding day I thought that loving you was the mistake I ever made."Another tear fell my face."That was not true."I closed my eyes tight. Opening them made the truth hurt more."I based my healing process on a lie."Iris did not say anything. He just stood there. His quiet patience hurt more than if he had tried to defend himself."I'm sorry," he said. His voice was low and steady."I'm sorry you had to carry that burden because of my silence."I looked up at him quickly."No."I shook my head again."Do not apolog
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 160: Love Chose Courage
IRIS’S POVKathryn's tears would not. Every time she tried to wipe them away more came. She put her head in her hands and her shoulders shook with a kind of tiredness that sleep could not fix. Watching her like this hurt me more than all the things I found out about Jacob because even though we had proof of what he did it could not erase the years he took from her.I went closer to her. I did not say anything right away. I gave her space to breathe because I learned that when people are sad they need time to feel their emotions. After a while, I put my hand on the table between us so she could decide whether she wanted me to comfort her."Kathryn," I said, "look at me."She did not.Another tear fell from her eye onto the table. Her voice was shaky. "I do not know what is real anymore," she said. Those words felt heavy between us.She laughed,. It was not a happy laugh. It was a broken sound. "For years I asked myself what I did wrong," she said. "I blamed myself for losing you. Then I
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 159: The Hardest Goodbye
IRIS’S POVKathryn did not say a word after I told her everything. The silence between us was not uncomfortable like it used to be. It was like the silence was saying something different now. She was not looking at me like she did not believe me anymore. She was looking at me like she was trying to understand how I could go through so much and still not be a bad person."You could have told everyone about Jacob a time ago,” she said finally. Her voice was soft and gentle. "After everything you found out, why did you not?"I looked down at my drink. I turned the glass around in my hand because the answer was not simple. It was never simple."Because Jacob is my brother," I said quietly. After everything he did saying those words still felt heavy. "I kept hoping he would realize what he was doing and stop. I thought that if I gave him time he would change."Kathryn looked sad. The sharpness in her face was gone."So Jacob did not know?" she asked.I shook my head. "No he had no idea I

Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 45: The Weight of Almost

KATHRYN POVMy eyes went to Celine and the second she saw me her face lit up. “Mommy," she said. Her voice had a complaint mixed with excitement. "I’ve been waiting for you.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I walked toward her with a smile. “I didn’t know I was taking that long
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 37: The Beginning of the Counterattack
JACOB POVThe silence on the line was really long. I could almost hear Michael thinking. "You have got to be kidding me," Michael finally said, his voice lower now. That told me I had crossed into something real.I let out a breath, controlled. Nothing inside me felt controlled anymore."If I was
