KATHRYN POV

“Sorry… I didn’t know you were…"

Leanne did not finish her words. She kept looking at me and Iris. She looked surprised and sorry at the same time.

“I’ll come back later,” she said quickly. Started to walk away. "I didn’t mean to interrupt.”

“It's okay.” I said it too fast.

Leanne was already gone. The door closed behind her. It seemed loud.

Then there was silence. It was an uncomfortable silence.

I did not want to look at Iris. So I picked up a file from the table. I was not readin

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 69: A Lawsuit and a Secret

    IRIS POVThe moment I walked into the restaurant it was clear I was not there to eat. The way I stood made that obvious even before I said a word. The receptionist recognized me and his face lit up. His smile was not as warm as it seemed. He looked at the man standing next to me, and I could see he was not sure what to do."Afternoon, sir " he said quickly standing up straight like he was getting ready for something serious. "You're welcome... I hope everything is okay?""There is a problem " I said, my voice firm. I looked at the man next to me. "This is my lawyer " I added.The receptionist looked at us again. This time he nodded quickly. "This way sir " he said, walking out from behind the counter.As we followed him I looked around the restaurant. Everything seemed clean tables, quiet music, and nice lighting. It all felt a bit strange considering what had happened the night before. The restaurant looked untouched.We were taken to the manager's office and the man inside stood up

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 68: Not Your Anna Anymore

    JACOB POVMy eyebrows pulled together a bit as I straightened up. I stared at her focusing on her face. The soft look on her face was gone.“What do you mean by that?" I asked. My voice wasn't calm anymore. There was something behind her words that didn't fit with this moment.She looked at me like she was waiting for that question. It seemed to confirm something for her. For a second I saw a change in her expression. It looked firmer. It didn't bend like it used to.Before she could answer I spoke again.“If this is about Kathryn," I said, my voice flat "then forget it.”My words came out smoothly.Controlled.Dismissive.The moment they came out I knew they wouldn't go well.She didn't argue. She didn't raise her voice. She just stood up.Slowly.That annoyed me more than if she had yelled.“You can't do that " she said. Her voice was quieter but heavier. Each word seemed to carry more weight than she was letting on. "You can't walk in here. Decide what matters and what doesn't.”I

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 67: Not the Victim

    JACOB POVThe house felt wrong the moment I stepped inside. The silence in the house was heavy. The lights were spotless on the floors. Everything in the house stood exactly where it should have been. I paused past the entrance of the house and looked around the house slowly.I called out, "Kathryn?" My voice was steady but not loud. When nobody answered, the only sound was the echo of my voice. This made me a little angry.I stepped further into the house. My movements were slow and deliberate. The sound of my shoes on the floor of the house seemed loud. A maid appeared from the hallway of the house. She stood up straight when she saw me. I asked her, "Is Kathryn back?" My tone was flat. I expected an answer.The maid hesitated. "I... I'm not sure sir." Her voice was careful. I looked at the maid not casually but with focus. The maid seemed uncomfortable. This made me think that she was not telling me the truth."What kind of answer is that?" My voice was low but sharp. I did not

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 66: Threats in the Quiet

    KATHRYN POVI looked down without thinking my eyebrows getting tight as I saw the name on the screen, and felt irritation away because it didn't belong here not now.Jacob.The phone kept ringing, loud and annoying. Before I could even silence it the sound changed the air enough that I saw Celine moving a bit on the bed. Her face got tight as she started to wake up.That was enough.I muted the call quickly and didn't look at the screen again. I went closer to her letting everything else go because it didn't matter now.“Hey… hey it's okay " I said softly. My voice got gentle as I leaned in. My hand found hers without thinking.Her eyes opened slowly not focused at first. When they finally looked at me there was something in them that made my chest feel tight.“Mommy…" she said, her voice. A bit strained. Even that one word felt heavy.“I'm here," I said quickly. I smoothed my hand over her hair. Forced a small smile. My throat felt tight. "You don't need to talk okay? Just rest.”She

  • Stolen Night With My Brother In Law   Chapter 65: The Guilt That Stayed

    KATHRYN POVI walked towards him, my body getting ready for something bad to happen while Iris stayed a little behind me watching and thinking carefully."How is she?" I asked him if my voice was calm. The doctor nodded a little."She is stable," he said first. That made me feel a little better even though I was still worried "it is food poisoning."Food poisoning.I looked at him. I thought about it because I was scared and now I knew what was wrong with her."She needs to rest, drink water and we need to watch her but she will be okay,” the doctor said, trying to make me feel better.I nodded slowly but my mind was already thinking about what to doFood."What did she eat?" Iris asked, his voice was calm and direct. I turned to him thinking about what happened the day before.Before I could say anything Sam came closer looking worried and let out a breath."What was the rush this morning?" he asked, sounding concerned "she could have stayed home and rested after what we ate that ni

    KATHRYN POVShe turned around and her reaction was immediate.“Mommy!" she shouted, her voice cracking in a way that really got to me. She pushed herself up from the bed fast, her arms reaching out to me without hesitation.I quickly closed the distance between us, my hands on her shoulders as I helped her steady herself. When she leaned into me I could feel how weak she was, how different she felt from that morning.“Hey, hey… it’s okay, mommy's here." I said softly but firmly because I needed her to feel steady even if I wasn’t. I gently brushed her hair back, my fingers staying on her for a bit longer than necessary as if just touching her could reassure both of us. "I’m here now okay? I’ve got you.”She nodded a little. She didn’t let go of me and that alone told me she was scared.“How are you feeling?" I asked, moving a bit lower so I could look at her properly because I needed to see her face not just hear her words.“I don’t feel too good, " she murmured, her voice weaker now.
