Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 259: The Long Wait
Anna’s POVWaiting has its own sound.It hums.Low. Persistent.Like something alive, crawling under your skin.I’d been sitting on the same bench for so long my legs had gone numb, but I didn’t dare shift. I felt like if I moved…if I breathed too loudly…I might break whatever fragile alignment the universe had finally arranged in my favor.Mrs. Quinn was on her way back.That single fact was the only thing keeping me upright.My mother sat beside me, her shoulder pressed firmly into mine, grounding me. She hadn’t let go of my hand in over an hour. Every now and then, she’d squeeze my fingers gently, like she was reminding me that I was still here. Still alive. Still fighting.“You’re shaking,” she murmured.I hadn’t noticed.“I’m fine,” I lied, my voice thin.She turned slightly, studying my face the way mothers do…like they can see through skin and bone straight into the soul. Her brows drew together, worry carving deeper lines into a face that had already aged too fast these past m
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 258: The Wrong Vault
Kristoff POVRestlessness is a disease.It crawls under the skin, gnaws at the bones, refuses to let a man sit still even when everything is supposedly going according to plan. I paced the length of the sitting room for the fifth…no, sixth… time, my footsteps echoing off marble floors that suddenly felt too loud, too exposed.Too alive.“Sit down,” my attorney said from the leather couch, calm to the point of irritation. “You’re wearing a path into the floor.”I shot him a glare. “How do you expect me to relax when Margaret Quinn is suddenly everywhere?” I snapped. “Every move I make, she’s already ten steps ahead, waving law enforcement like a fucking baton.”“She’s reacting,” he said evenly. “Not leading.”I scoffed. “You don’t know her.”I stopped near the window, peering through the heavy drapes, half-expecting headlights to cut through the darkness. Nothing. Still, the tension wouldn’t leave. It pressed against my chest, tight and insistent.Something felt off.Before I could voi
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 257: A Step Ahead
Mrs. Quinn POVThe door closed behind me with a weight I felt in my bones.Hospitals had a way of stripping you bare…no matter how powerful you were outside those walls. I stood for a moment beside my car, inhaling slowly, forcing my spine straight, my face calm. Flora’s voice still echoed in my head, the doctor’s words replaying like a loop I couldn’t shut off.Rissa would wake soon.Alex was stable… but still sleeping.“Let people he loves speak to him,” the doctor had said gently. “Sometimes the heart needs a reason to fight its way back.”I squeezed my eyes shut for half a second.Hold on, my son. Just a little longer.Then I slid into the car and shut the door, sealing emotion out with a practiced precision I’d perfected over decades.This was no time to break.I pulled my phone from my bag and dialed a number I hadn’t saved…but knew by heart.He picked on the second ring.“Margaret,” Inspector Hale said. “I was expecting your call.”“I need an escort,” I said without preamble, s
Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 256: “Change of Plans”
Kristoff’s POV“Gather your men, I have a job for them,” I spoke to my main man, and he left, lowering myself into my seat and pouring myself a glass of brandy.A house map was spread out across the table, a plan needed to be made to push my plan further. Every detail, every angle had to be considered. The timing, the exits, the men… everything. I traced my finger along the walls, imagining the path each of my operatives would take. There was no room for error.The wine warmed my chest as I leaned back, letting the smooth taste calm the fire in my veins. Calm. That was the key. Every move had to feel effortless, controlled. I had orchestrated chaos before, and I would do it again. But this time… this time I would leave no traces.I called the first two men on the list, whispering my instructions in clipped sentences. I didn’t need details; they already knew the drill. My voice carried authority, not just the threat, but the promise of dominance. The house, the vault, the files… everyt

Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law Chapter 255: “Found It”
Anna’s POVI pressed my forehead against the glass, hands curling against the cold window frame as my chest heaved with every shallow breath. The hospital room beyond seemed like another world entirely, one I wasn’t meant to touch yet couldn’t tear my eyes away from.Alex. My Alex.I watched as the doctors swarmed around him, their faces masks of determination, their hands moving with practiced precision over my love, my world. Machines beeped and whirred, monitors flashed red and green, and my heart raced to match the rhythm of that heart monitor… the relentless, cruel timer that seemed to taunt me with each pulse.Mrs. Quinn’s voice broke through my frozen panic, sharp and pleading. “Alex! Fight! Don’t you dare leave us! You hear me? You have to fight!”I could hear her footsteps as she hovered near the bed, arms outstretched as if she could physically will him back to life. Her raw desperation made my throat constrict.I felt my mother’s hand on my shoulder, steadying me though I s
