All Chapters of Stolen Night With My Brother In Law: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

KATHRYN POVThe days passed quietly, and somehow they became weeks.Life inside Iris's penthouse settled into a routine that scared me more than any situation ever had.I kept reminding myself of the deal I made with myself. Every morning I repeated the rule.Just sex. Nothing more.No expectations. No promises.No getting emotionally attached to Iris.The rule sounded okay whenever Iris was not around.The problem was Iris himself.He never treated me like someone who was only temporary.Not like he owned me.The way he remembered which tea helped when I got headaches.It felt real.One afternoon I walked into the living room. Stopped.Neither Iris nor Celine noticed me.They were sitting on the floor surrounded by hundreds of Lego pieces.Bright colors covered the rug."What are you building?" I asked.Celine looked up."A castle!" she said proudly.Iris looked over his shoulder."A big castle, " he said.Celine gasped dramatically. "It was your idea," she said."It was our idea," h

IRIS POVI got to the bar and the scandal had already spread way more than I thought it would.This bar was on the floor of one of my company's fancy buildings and since only members and their guests could get in it was usually a place where I could think without being bothered. Tonight even the familiar surroundings felt off.People had seen the news, It was pretty obvious.I walked past the hostess. Headed to the quiet lounge in the back, where my lawyer was waiting for me. His briefcase was open on the table. He had a bunch of folders laid out.He stood up when he saw me coming."You're late, but I'm not surprised,” he said."You sound surprised," I replied."I'm not surprised," he said in a tone. "I'm annoyed."Despite everything that almost made me smile.Almost.I sat down across from him. Loosened my jacket a bit and he slid a big stack of papers over to me."I spent four hours going over every single accusation that came out tonight,” he said. "Every article, every source, eve

IRIS POVI leaned back in my chair and put my hands together. My lawyer studied me with great patience. "The public will find out about Jacob and Anna's situation and that will change everything,” he said slowly. " Now everyone is talking about me. When people find out about Jacob and Anna they will start talking about them instead of me."I looked out the window at the city lights while I thought about what my lawyer said.Outside, cars were still driving on the streets, and people were living their lives without knowing that my life was being discussed online."Kathryn will be part of the conversation too, " I said finally. "When people find out about her they will connect the dots. They won't just stop at Jacob and Anna."My lawyer nodded like he knew I was going to say that."They will, " he said. "Kathryn is already getting a divorce. So if people find out about the situation it might help explain some things that seem suspicious now."I did not like that explanation. It was not

ANNA POVI saw the words land.Good.They were supposed to.“If you had let her go when things were still clean and private, we wouldn’t be here.”My voice softened. Because I felt exhausted.“You held onto her even after the marriage was dead.”Jacob looked away again.“You kept treating her like something that belonged to you.”The silence stretched.“And now look around.” I gestured toward the phone. Toward the headlines. Toward the consequences.“Everything is ash.”Jacob’s jaw tightened so hard I thought it might crack.Still he said nothing. Because what could he say? That I was wrong? We both knew I wasn’t.“I told you to let her go.” The words came out softer now. More disappointed than angry. “I told you Iris was already winning.”His eyes flashed immediately.There it was. That reaction. That obsession.Even now. Even after everything.I shook my head. “See?”His expression hardened further.“You still care.” I laughed weakly. “You still care more about beating him than fixi

IRIS POVMrs. Mayers stepped between us, her breath shaking, her hands partly raised, as if she could keep two men apart if she really tried. Her voice was full of a love that had been tested too many times."Both of you please, stop all of this madness," she said. Her eyes moved between Jacob and me like she was still looking for us. "This is not who you are supposed to be to each other."Jacob did not even look at her properly. That told me everything about where his mind was. He was already past emotion, with everything reduced to calculation and survival. I watched him adjust his stance his shoulders getting tighter like her voice was an interruption he did not have space for."Mom step aside," Jacob said sharply. His tone was. Cold. The way he said it did not sound angry. Like he was dismissing her, as if she had become background noise. "This is not your conversation."Mrs. Mayer's face changed instantly not to anger but to something like she could not believe it and that slowl
