Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 42: “In his arms”
Annalyn’s POVMy sense flared up first as soon as I became conscious of environment..The first new thing that hit my nose as the familiar scent of Roses that came directly in contact with my nose… then I felt my hand and head resting on something strong and solid…“What’s this?” I ask myself, floating in the haze between sleep and consciousness. “Why am I lying on something stiff? by any chance did I sleep on the floor? My body refuses to fully stir, too wrapped in warmth… solid warmth, oddly comforting. Familiar.Then a tingle rested in my stomach.. a feeling of something oddly familiar.Déjà vu.Then a faint giggle brushes past my ear, soft and close.My brow scrunches. That sound. It’s definitely Nolan. But what’s he doing in my room.Then…everything floods in.***Flashes.***“Baby, Daddy has things to do tonight, why not sleep in Annalyn’s room tonight, tomorrow night we’d binge on some cartoons in my room.. Agreed?”“Noooo!” came Nolan’s crying protest, tiny fists wiping his fac
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 41: A Trap
Annalyn’s POVThe ride back to Alex’s mansion was filled with tension The cab pulled to a stop just outside the mansion’s towering gate. My fingers fidgeted around the edge of my purse, thumbs pressing anxiously against the zipper. My heartbeat was a wild, uneven rhythm. I had told him where I was going… So why had he called me that way? Why that level of rage?I paid the driver, stepped out of the cab, and stood still for a moment, staring up at the house that had started to feel like home and now felt like a war zone. My palms were clammy. I walked slowly to the door and stopped in hesitation. My hand reached for the knob… stopped… then withdrew it again. I rubbed my palm against my dress, exhaled sharply, then gripped the knob again, twisting it.The door opened.Silence.I stepped into the lobby, the faint scent of polished wood and fresh flowers brushing against my senses. Then as soon as I turned towards the sitting room.“Mummy!!!”Nolan’s voice tore through the quiet and in a
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 40: “I Love Him”
Annalyn’s POVI turned to Nanny Flora, and the moment her eyes met mine, the pain and fear I carried must’ve been loud and obvious, because her expression softened instantly.Without hesitation, she took my hand into hers and whispered, “Whatever it is, give him time. He’s angry right now and when Alex is angry, he tends to do irrational things he always ends up regretting. Just give him time, okay? And stop crying.”That was when I realized… tears had been silently streaming down my cheeks. I wiped at them with my fingers, blinking rapidly.“Thank you,” I muttered, voice barely there.She gave me a sad smile. I hesitated, then said, “Nanny?”“Yes, my dear girl?” she answered warmly.“I need to step out of the house for a few hours… could you please watch Nolan?”Her brows drew together immediately. “Where are you going, dear? Don’t tell me you’re running away.”My eyes widened in panic. “No! No, nothing like that…”Her expression relaxed, but still held concern. I added quickly, “I’m
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 39: Tension spiked
Alex’s POVThe sky outside was still a dull shade of early morning gray. No sunlight. No warmth. Just the eerie silence that made the coldness inside my chest throb harder.I was already halfway through packing. My shirts were folded in rigid, calculated lines. Nolan’s clothes were laid out with the same discipline. Every action was deliberate… anything to drown out the heaviness clawing inside my gut.Then came the knock.Soft. Careful.I froze.Maybe it was her. Maybe Annalyn had come to beg again. Maybe she’d throw herself at my feet or start crying like she did last night. But then—“Alex, it’s Rissa. Can I come in?”Damn.I exhaled slowly, setting the shirt I held aside. I walked to the door, twisted the lock, and turned back toward the suitcase without a word. She stepped in. The door clicked shut behind her.I could feel her eyes on me… worried, gentle, probing. Still, I said nothing. I kept folding. Packing. Focusing on the sound of the zipper teeth aligning.“Lexy…” her voice
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 38: Broken
Annalyn’s POVMy feet felt like they were being dragged through thick mud as Rissa gently led me down the stairs.I couldn’t breathe properly. My throat burned with swallowed sobs, and the ache in my chest only deepened with every step away from his door.Rissa said nothing as we entered the living room. She simply guided me to the couch, helped me sit, then disappeared briefly before returning with a box of tissues and glass of water. Kristoff was nowhere in sight, he had done his worst and disappeared like the devil he was.She handed the water to me first which I gulped down as my throat was already dry from all the crying… then came the box of tissue and she sat beside me.I took one and dabbed under my eyes, but the tears kept coming… hot, fast, uncontrollable.Then came the question I had been dreading.“What happened?” Her voice was soft but firm. “Why is he angry with you, Anna? Every was good, where did the sudden trigger come from”My lips trembled.I tried. I really tried
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 37: A Rift Between Two Hearts
Alex’s POV“You know what? You’re right!”She snapped, her voice cutting through the air.“I did want to use Mr. Quinn to make you jealous. I did want to use Nolan too. I thought you’d finally see how much you’ve missed… But…”The door creaked as I had accidentally let go of it.Her voice stopped.Our eyes locked.And in that split second, everything changed.The boldness drained from her face.Shock hit first.Then horror.Then a glimpse of guilt shot through.Her lips parted. “Alex…”I didn’t wait.I turned and bolted.“Alex!”“Mr. Quinn!”Her voice chased me, but I shut it out.As I stormed through the hall, I barely registered my sister stepping out of the kitchen, a towel in her hand. She was mid-sentence. “Are they back?” she asked but I was already past her and sprinting up the stairs.My feet thundered like gunshots on the wood.I shoved my door open, slammed it behind me, and twisted the lock hard.Then I exploded.I stormed to the dresser and swiped everything off in one vio
