Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 180: Finding Celine
IRIS’S POVThe convoy reached the edge of the estate just after midday. The buildings looked ordinary from the outside. I recognized the anonymity that Jacob had always preferred when he wanted something hidden. A plain gate, neutral paint, and no obvious signs drew attention away from the place. Daniel's investigation had uncovered what appearances couldn't hide. Paperwork that had been layered beneath shell companies and borrowed names had finally been untangled. What Jacob believed was invisible had become another piece of evidence waiting in a prosecutor's file.Daniel met us beside the vehicle. Before Kathryn or I stepped forward he handed me a folder."You'll want this," he said.I opened it quickly."Ownership?" I asked.He nodded."The property's registered through three holding companies. But they all trace back to Jacob," he said.He allowed himself a small smile."He covered his tracks well " he said."But not enough " I replied.I closed the folder."Celine?" I asked.Da
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 179: The Lead
KATHRYN’S POVMorning came quietly. For the first time in what felt like years, I woke up without the familiar weight of dread pressing against my chest. The pale sunlight spilled through the bedroom curtains while the city outside stretched awake. I lay still for a moment because the warmth beside me reminded me where I was. Iris was already awake although he hadn’t moved enough to disturb me.“Morning," he murmured.“Morning," I replied.His fingers brushed a strand of hair behind my ear and I smiled back before I leaned over to kiss him softly.“I was thinking breakfast," he said. "Unless you wanted another hour pretending the world doesn’t exist.”“I was considering it " I said.I felt myself laughing with him.Then his phone vibrated on the bedside table.Neither of us reacted immediately.It vibrated again.Iris reached for it without urgency. The moment he saw the screen something in his expression changed.Not panic. Focus.The softness in his face sharpened into attention.“
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 178: At Peace
KATHRYN’S POVThe kiss lingered for a second before I eased back. His hand was still warm against my cheek. His thumb brushed away a tear I hadn’t realized had escaped. His eyes searched mine with concentration instead of satisfaction. He smiled first.. The smile faded almost immediately.“What is it?" he asked softly. "Kathryn… what’s wrong?”I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. I had been ready to thank him. Instead, something inside me cracked.He frowned. Not in frustration. Concern.“Hey." His voice dropped. It became impossibly gentle. "Talk to me.”“I…" The word dissolved into a broken breath. Tears spilled over before I could stop them. I blinked rapidly. "No." I laughed once through my tears. "This is ridiculous." “It isn’t.”“I don’t even know why I’m crying. You don’t have to know." He reached for my hand. He didn’t pull me into another hug. He left me room to breathe. He reminded me I wasn’t standing there alone. "I’ve got you.”That simple sentence undid me more complete
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 177: Back at the Penthouse
KATHRYN’S POVThe drive back to the penthouse was pretty quiet. The city outside was moving as usual with traffic lights, horns, and people rushing to their lives, which weren't affected by what happened today. Inside the car, it felt really still. Kathryn sat next to me with one hand on her lap staring out at the city. I knew that feeling that comes after surviving something not after finding peace.We didn't turn on the radio.We didn't feel like talking.Some days you just need to talk.Days you just need a safe place to stop trying so hard.When we got to the penthouse Kathryn went out first. She unlocked the door slowly.The apartment was just like we left it that morning.The throw blanket was still on the sofa.Two coffee mugs were still in the sink.A book she was reading was still on the side table with a receipt marking the page.Nothing inside the apartment knew that the world had changed."I'll make tea."My voice was quieter than usual.She looked at me. Nodded a little.
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 176: Nobody Ruined Your Wedding
KATHRYN’S POVMy gaze drifted away from him because I suddenly needed to find someoneMrs. Mayers.She just stood there. Watched.She did not try to talk to the officers.She did not run to Jacob.She did not scream that they had the person.She just watched as her son was taken away.My chest felt tight.That was not the face of someone who did not believe what was happening.It was the face of someone who had finally accepted what was happening. It was too late.Jacob saw her too."Mom!" he shouted.The sound of his voice filled the room."Mom tell them!" he said.She looked up.For one second he waited hopefully.Everyone in the room waited.Mrs. Mayers opened her mouth.Then she closed it again.More tears fell down her face."I am sorry..." she said. Her voice was barely loud enough to hear."I am so sorry " she said again.Jacob looked at her like she had hurt him."No " he said.He was breathing fast."No do not do this," he said.She did not move.The officers kept walking.Ja
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 175: The Evidence Lands
IRIS’S POVThe ceremony was still going on, and the guests were watching the couple at the altar while a string quartet played softly in the background. My attention kept going to the mansion because Kathryn had been gone for more than five minutes. I stayed where I was because I did not want to draw attention to myself that would only make things more complicated.. I was getting more and more uneasy because my instinct was telling me something was not right.The person doing the ceremony smiled warmly."Love is about choosing someone every day " he said. "It is about choosing them when things change."Some of the guests nodded their heads.Others were smiling.Jacob was standing next to Anna looking very confident and from afar he looked just like the successful businessman, people thought he was.It all looked perfect.It was not.My phone was vibrating in my jacket.I already knew who was calling me.It was Daniel.I stepped away from the guests and answered the phone right away.
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 36: Jealous and Territorial
JACOB POVThe door slammed open behind me before I could even take two steps forward. Anna walked in like she owned the place, her heels clicking on the floor with annoying sounds. I turned to face her slowly."What was that there?" I asked her, my voice was low. Had an edge to it. "Why can't you
Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 35: One Step Ahead
IRIS POVBy the time I reached my room everything that had happened started to feel heavy on my body. I had kept my cool during all the confrontations, but my mind just wouldn't calm down. I closed the door behind me carefully then loosened my collar slowly because I didn't need to carry all that t

Stolen Night With My Brother In Law Chapter 33: Silence Between Father and Daughter
KATHRYN POVI stepped out of the car first. My heels hit the ground with a rhythm that matched the control I forced into my breathing. Anna was the first to react of course. Silence had never been her strength. Soon as her eyes landed on us her lips curved into something that looked like amusement
