All Chapters of I'm My Brothers In-law's Obsession : Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

River.The silence in the living room was heavy. It felt like a physical weight pressing down on my shoulders. I sat on the edge of the sofa, my hands buried in my hair. My mind was a whirlwind, spinning with images of the night. I saw the Boss’s cold eyes. I saw the needles. I saw the spray of blood from Rex’s mouth.What have I done? The single thought looped in my head like a broken record.Yes, I had known the Boss was coming. I had felt the shadow of his arrival days ago. But I stayed silent. I thought I was protecting them by not causing a panic. I thought it was nothing. Matter of fact, there was no reason why I should justify.I was wrong. I was so wrong that it almost cost Rex his life.Almost…I pray it remains almost.I looked over at Rain. He was sitting in the armchair across from me. He wasn't looking at me. He was staring at his own hands, which were still stained pink from the scrubbing we had done earlier.We had spent the last hour at the gate. We had to move the bod

Rex. I smiled at the chunk of concern on Rain’s face. "I know," I said quietly. Rain froze. "Huh? You know?" I nodded. "I heard him," I revealed, looking at River. "I heard River making a call a few days ago. I knew he was hiding something. And I figured it. We both know how River is. He’s too loyal. He thinks the Boss is a god." River flinched. He looked like he wanted to disappear into the floor. "It’s not about loyalty, Rex. I was trying to keep things from exploding." "But, Rex, why didn't you take precautions?" Rain asked, frowning at me. "If you knew he was coming for the injection, why didn't you do something? You just sat there and let him poison you!" I looked at my hands. I couldn't tell them the truth. What would I say? That I had an energy inside of me that was spiking? And that I already knew that any precaution would have been useless. And that I was just waiting for the crash, hoping I’d survive the impact. Literally, there was nothing on planet Earth I could

Rain The kitchen was filled with the smell of steak and sourdough toast, but the air felt like lead. We were sitting in the same spots we always did, but the empty chair at the end of the table—the one Debbie usually occupied while she made fun of River’s hair or my grumpiness—felt like a gaping hole. It had been forty-eight hours. Two days of looking at our phones every five minutes. Two days of jumpiness every time the front gate creaked or the doorbell rang. I pushed a piece of egg around my plate, my appetite completely gone. "I checked the logs again this morning," I said, my voice sounding scratchy. "She’s been at the office. She clocks in at exactly 8:00 AM, locks herself in her private office, and doesn't come out until 5:00 PM. No lunch breaks. No meetings. Then she goes straight home." "At least she’s not at the Alpha’s mansion," River muttered, leaning his elbows on the table. He looked like he hadn't slept since the incident. "No calls from the Council. No guards at ou

Debbie. River started to stand up, his eyes wide. "Debbie, you're here. We were just—" "Mm-mm. No," I said, holding up a hand to stop him. I walked past them and sat at the very end of the long dining table. I wanted to see all three of them at once. Three familiar faces that were, in reality, total strangers. I let the silence hang in the room for a long minute, not knowing what to say. "So," I started, my voice cool. "These faces are not brothers." I said the first thing that came out of my mouth. Silence. Rain looked at the floor. River looked at his hands. Rex just watched me with those blue, intense eyes. "What are you all planning to do with me?" I asked, leaning back. "Are you going to hand me over to your Boss at the end of three weeks? Is that the final move?" "No!" River shouted, waving a hand. "No, Debbie, nothing like that. We would never." "Then what?" I asked. "What’s the plan?" Rex cleared his throat. He looked me straight in the eye. "To be honest, we haven't t

Debbie I stood in the center of Rex’s room, my feet sinking into the thick rug as I waited for him. He wasn't in the room when I walked in, and I thought he might be out of the house. I never thought he was in his underground arena. I watched Rex as he walked in. He jumped, his eyes widening when he saw me sitting there in the shadows. He looked like he had just seen a ghost—or perhaps a man who had just been caught doing something he shouldn't. "Debbie," he breathed, his voice a ragged whisper. "What are you doing here?" I didn't move. I kept my back straight and my eyes locked on his. "I should be asking you that, Rex. Where are you coming from?" “Oh… sorry. I… I had something doing down there…” He moved forward just a step. “What are you doing here? I thought you went to bed already,” he asked. I wanted to press on what he was doing, but that might just be perceived as me being nosy. I diverted to the main reason why I was here. "I think you, more than anyone, know why I'
