All Chapters of Falling For My Ex’s Brother-In-Law: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Annalyn’s POVThe ride home started in silence. The city lights passed by in streaks, and the low hum of the engine filled the space between us. I leaned my head against the window, pretending to be calm, but my thoughts were loud and restless.Alex’s voice finally broke through. “What’s bothering you?”I turned, surprised. “What makes you think something’s bothering me?”He kept his eyes on the road, but a knowing smile tugged at his lips. “Even a blind man could perceive it from your silence.”I couldn’t help but laugh softly. “I see someone knows me so well now.”“Don’t try to change the topic, Anna,” he said firmly, his tone serious. His hands gripped the steering wheel, knuckles tightening as if he was bracing himself for an answer.I exhaled slowly and decided to stop dodging. “I was thinking…” I paused, watching his profile illuminated by the streetlights. “I know what I want to major in.”That caught his attention. He threw me a quick glance before focusing back on the road. “

Annalyn’s POV“Fuck me!” The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them.Kristoff’s smirk widened. “Gladly.”I recoiled instantly. “Eww. Gross.” My face twisted in disgust, and my fingers clenched around my purse. “What the hell do you want, Kristoff? And what are you even doing here?”Before he could answer, a familiar voice called out.“Anna!”Rissa came rushing toward me, her heels clicking fast on the marble floor. I forced a smile, but my eyes darted back to Kristoff, who was still watching me with that maddening, amused glint.Rissa pulled me into a tight hug, her warmth genuine. I hugged her back because I didn’t want her to sense the storm brewing inside me.Breaking the hug, she held my shoulders. “I see you came in with Alex.”I nodded, steadying my breath. “Yes. Something came up for him, so he asked me to wait in his office.”Then my eyes flicked back to Kristoff. The question left my lips before I could help myself. “What’s he doing here?”Rissa followed my ga

Alex’s POVMy eyes lingered on Anna for a second longer before I sighed and turned to Dominic.“Umm..,” I said, voice even but cold, “let him come up.”Dominic nodded and disappeared into the elevator.I turned back to Anna. “Wait here,” I told her, nodding toward the assistant’s desk.Her lips parted like she wanted to argue, but one look at my face must have made her stay quiet. She just nodded, and I turned away before I could change my mind.Inside my office, I shut the door behind me and walked straight to the window. I needed the few seconds it took for him to arrive. The skyline stretched far ahead, but my reflection in the glass was all I saw.. tense jaw, tight shoulders. I forced a deep breath.A knock came, sharp and impatient.“Come in.”The door flew open and in walked Mr. Kingston, cane striking the floor with every step. His face was already red, fury spilling out of him like smoke from a fire.“Mr. Quinn,” he barked, “I believe we need to talk.”I didn’t move from behi

Anna’s POVThe car rolled to a stop in front of Quinn’s Enterprise, and the driver turned slightly to face me.“Miss Anna,” he said politely, “Mr. Quinn instructed that you report directly to his office first.”I nodded, my fingers tightening around my bag. “Yes and about Nolan? Who's going to pick him up?”“Mr. Quinn has asked Nanny Flora to handle pick-ups from now on, I’ll take them to and fro,” he replied.I smiled faintly. “Oh, Okay. Thanks.”He tipped his cap as I stepped out. The glass doors slid open, and I walked into the familiar lobby, expecting to slip through unnoticed since Alex wasn’t with me.But the silence I imagined was replaced by whispers.Everywhere I turned, eyes followed mezz curious, judgmental, calculating. Two ladies near the reception desk leaned in to the receptionist and whispered something and giggled behind their hands. I kept my chin up, telling myself not to care, besides they may not be talking about me but my chest tightened all the same.When I rea

Alex’s POVNo one answered.I took another step forward, scanning faces. Their silence wasn’t courage… it was fear. Good. Let them fear me.“I said…” My voice dropped lower, each word deliberate. “…who the hell did this?”The air turned suffocating. A few eyes darted toward Anna, who stood trembling by the table, but none had the guts to confess.Fine.My jaw tightened as I moved. Leaving Anna where she was, I walked straight to the three I had seen hovering over her the moment I stepped inside. The girl with her hand raised, another smirking with wicked delight, and the bastard whose hand had dared touch her.I reached the first girl in two strides. Without hesitation, I raised my hand and landed a sharp slap across her face. The crack echoed through the cafeteria like thunder. She staggered back, clutching her cheek, disbelief spreading across her face.Gasps rippled across the room.I stepped forward, leaned down, and read the name on her tag.“Patricia Warren,” I said, my voice ve
