Ruined By My Brother-In-Law のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

“NO.” One word spat out through clenched teeth. Anna grabbed the duvet and stormed past Elena, their shoulders bumping. Elena followed. Julian's head tilted to the side as he watched. “She said she couldn't reach you, so she—” Elena stared hesitantly. Anna scoffed, cutting her off. “I wonder why? Oh, right. I blocked her.” “You blocked her?” Anna said nothing, focusing on draping the duvet over her bed. Anger and hurt twisted inside her, mingling with a gnawing sense of inadequacy. Elena stepped closer as she tucked in the corners. “You can't avoid her forever.” “I very much plan to,” Anna snapped. “She's our mother no matter what, Anna. You can't run from that fact,” Elena said firmly, frowning. Abandoning the duvet, Anna snapped around to her, face contorted in anger. “That's so easy for you to say,” she spat. “You're not the one who endured her…” Anna paused, biting her lower lip. “Go on, say it.” Elena moved closer. “What? You were the one who carried it all?” She chall

It was dark by the time Anna dragged herself out of bed and into the bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water, threw in her oils and soap—and sank into it until only her face broke the surface. Exhausted, she lay there, unmoving, until the water turned cold. Then she stepped out and headed straight to her room, water droplets trailing behind her. She moved in a haze, her movements lethargic as she threw on a baggy t-shirt with shorts, then proceeded to apply her moisturizer. She stared at her reflection as she rubbed the face serum into her skin in slow circles. Her phone buzzed with a message somewhere on the nightstand, but she ignored it.Her bones were heavy. A splitting headache throbbed at the back of her head, and dizziness lingered behind her eyes. She pushed to her feet just as her bedroom door creaked open and Leah appeared. “You done crying in there or do you want snacks first?”Anna paused, her lips parting as she stared incredulously at Leah. Hadn't she left? Leah

Anna's brows furrowed as she watched the interns speak, her body reacting before her mind could. Her stomach knotted, shoulders stiffening. Emotions shot through her, too fast to grasp. Only one thought surfaced: They shouldn't be doing that. She shifted uncomfortably on the floor, feeling the heat raise to her face at their praise. Leah let out a low whistle, her gaze shifting from the screen to her. “They must really adore you,” she whispered, almost reverently, nudging Anna slightly. Anna's lips stretched tightly, then snapped back. They were making her out to be a saint—she wasn't. She straightened as Sierra began to speak, her eyes locked on the screen unblinkingly. For the slightest moment, her lips tugged as her own words were echoed back to her. Until Sierra said the words that erased that fleeting smile. “And that's what she gave me… room to grow. To learn.” Anna tensed, realizing where she was taking this. She wanted to scream for her to stop. She could see the pain,

Anna barely made it to the entrance before the dizziness hit again, forcing her hand against the wall for balance.Leah noticed immediately, her eyes narrowing as she stepped closer. “Yeah… no. We’re not ignoring that anymore.”Leah placed a hand on her back as Anna exhaled, pressing her lips together as a strange, unsettling thought crept in. She shook her head, forcing herself upright. “I'm fine. Let's—”“You're not stepping into that mess until I'm sure you won't be fainting in public,” Leah cut in, giving her a look. “Wait here. I'll bring the car around.”Anna smiled her thanks but followed anyway as Leah stepped out. She stopped right outside the entrance, a hand pressed to her chest. She couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was off. But she couldn't dwell on it. Not yet. Right now, she needed to get to the hospital before things escalated beyond control. Leah's car pulled to a stop in front of her and she slid in. The moment they pulled away, Leah glanced a

The moment Anna's eyes met Jason's, the irritation at his interruption vanished. Her lips parted soundlessly, her body frozen in place. He wore a dark grey suit, the lighter shirt beneath it drawing attention to his eyes. Her lips parted again. “Jason—” The name came out before she could stop it.What was she supposed to address him as now—Jason, Jason Knight or Mr. Knight? The first one didn't seem right, not here, not anymore. But before she could twist herself further into knots, Jason spoke. “I need to speak with you.” His gaze shifted past her to Sierra. Anna didn't need to turn to know she looked terrified. “In private.” Anna nodded, not trusting her voice yet and turned to Sierra. She took her hand and squeezed reassuringly. “I'll be right back, Sierra. Okay?” She gave a strained smile, which Sierra returned with one of hers. By the time she turned back, Jason was already walking to the back of the conference room. She hurried after him, offering Pierce an ‘I’m okay’ smile
