All Chapters of Stolen Night With My Brother In Law: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

JACOB POVMy jaw tightened slowly although my expression never changed."I've been watching " I said calmly.My voice cut through the silence easily. She stiffened right away before turning toward me. I still caught the reaction. Kathryn had always been expressive with her eyes.Now was no different.She didn't say anything. I kept walking toward her at a pace while adjusting my jacket cuff. I wanted her to feel uncomfortable before we even started talking. Pressure works best when it arrives quietly."I notice everything lately " I told her pleasantly stopping a few feet away. "Every time Iris sits beside Celine. Every time he carries her around this house, he belongs here." I smiled a little. It wasn't warm. "Every time my daughter reaches for his hand before she reaches for mine."Kathryn's throat moved slightly.That was the sign she gave me.Her control would have impressed me if I weren't already angry with her."I have done everything for that child " I continued, my tone. Conv

JACOB POVThe sound cracked through the room like something breaking, sharp and irreversible. Anna's head snapped to the side with the force of it. For one second neither of us moved.She stood there with her hand flying up to her cheek. Her eyes were wide and wet. Her breath came in desperate pulls. I stood there with my palm still stinging. I stared at Anna, the woman carrying my child. I felt nothing except a cold hollow fury.Then Anna screamed.It wasn't a sound. It came from within her. It was raw, with pain and shock and something that sounded like grief. She stumbled backward. Caught the edge of the bed with the backs of her knees. Her other hand flew to her stomach. The sight of that. Her protecting the child not herself. Affected me."Anna…”She didn't let me finish. She pushed off the bed. Ran. The door flew open. She was gone. Her screaming already woke up the corridor. Lights flickered on. Voices rose. The entire house woke up like a body startled out of sleep.I stood i

JACOB POVI did not leave.Mrs. Mayer's words stayed with me for a time after she finished talking. They changed something inside me. I was not entirely comfortable with the change. I could not ignore what she said though.Go find Anna.Tonight.Before things get worse.The problem was that Mrs. Mayers was right. That bothered me. She was often right without needing to raise her voice. I did not like that.I slowly reached for my phone. My reflection was still visible in the window beside me. The city outside kept moving like nothing was wrong. I paused for a moment before I turned on the tracker.It was not that I was hesitant. I was just thinking.Anna usually acted in ways when she was emotional.Her car was already being. She did not even know it. People rarely notice these things when they think they are safe.The tracker showed me where Anna was and it looked like she was heading to an area. That told me a lot. She was not just wandering around; she was going somewhere specific.

KATHRYN POVThe house was really quiet on Sunday mornings. It was a kind of quiet. The house felt like it was waiting for something to happen.I was awake before everyone. My body was tired. My mind was wide awake. I was sitting at the dining table with Celine when the rest of the house started to wake up.Celine was eating her cereal. Swinging her legs under the table. She was not paying attention to the quietness around us. I had my hand near her glass of juice watching her. Kids can always tell when something is wrong even if the grown-ups do not say anything. The people in the kitchen were being very quiet walking softly like they were trying not to make any noise.Then Anna came into the room. Everything changed. The air in the room felt different like a cold wind had blown in. She did not say hello to me she just walked in. Sat down. She looked upset about something.I did not need to ask her what was wrong because Anna always has a reason for doing things. She looked at me and

KATHRYN POVThe word no hung in the air for a time. I did not say it loudly. I said it in a way that meant I was not changing my mind. Iris did not react away. The silence between us felt like he was choosing not to say anything like he was waiting for me to explain.He just looked at me still paying attention. His hands were resting on the edge of his desk not moving. I thought that would make me feel better. It actually made me feel like my words were very important in a room that was already too quiet.I took a breath and spoke again before I could change my mind. I have learned that if you start thinking about what might go wrong, you will not be clear about what you want. "No staff is going through our things " I said firmly. My voice was steady. A little softer now.Iris tilted his head a little not questioning me just listening. I could tell he was paying attention in a way that would not stop me from saying what I needed to say. I kept talking because if I stopped I might st
