All Chapters of Brother-in-laws dark obsession: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

In Italy, Iris was walking in the hospital corridors to stretch her legs. She was feeling cramped and suffocated in that room. As the sun descended, Tasha left with a promise to visit tomorrow. Catherine went to speak to the doctor about her recovery. Iris had nothing to talk about with her mother, who seemed to be at a loss, too. Catherine is guilty, and she is trying to make Iris happy. But in vain. Iris's heart is in turmoil. Just as she was passing by a room 5 doors from hers, she caught a glimpse of Xavier. He is in bad shape with bandages around his head, his left arm wrist is in a cast, and she could see a glimpse of his right leg, which seems to be wrapped in bandages too. Her eyes welled with unshed tears, and her heart ached with pain. His eyes are closed, and he is alone. She placed her palm on the small glass partition on the door. She might not remember many things about their past. But she remembered how he threw his own life on the line for her. If she had crashed in

Iris was discharged from the hospital. Adam, Catherine, and even Benjamin arrived to take her back home. Catherine was fussing over her, while Adam was there, watching, waiting, for what, Iris doesn't know and doesn't have the energy to find out. Benjamin, on the other hand, is a whole different story. He had been bad-mouthing Xavier since the moment he arrived. "He is an opportunistic ba*tard and a murderer. He is not trustworthy. He killed a guy and was said to have abused his grandfather. The Knights are a violent lot, and their business is failing. They will go bankrupt sooner or later. Xavier had affairs with so many women that he was seen carrying a woman in his arms a week ago. He also took another woman on a private cruise the next day. He is a womanizer. Adil is not like that. He is a good guy...." After some time, Iris stopped listening to him. She plugged in her earphones and pretended to listen to music. The car drive home was tense. After reaching home, Iris was rea

In the Stark residence, Iris didn't bother to greet anyone in the house. Catherine, Benjamin, and even Adam stood there, waiting for her. But she didn't spare them a glance. She walked straight into her room. She doesn't want to be rude to anyone. Especially not her parents. But the fact that they decided her happiness with a man who feels that a wife should always compromise on everything to the point of what she would want to wear. Her impending marriage is making her feel suffocated right before it starts. 'What if I don't get engaged to Adil tomorrow? Will Dad be able to cancel their agreement without losing the shares?' she wondered. Xavier's face flashed in her mind. The unmasked pain in his gaze when he heard about her engagement is still making her feel guilty. 'You are a good man. Too good to be true' she thought, thinking about what kind of relationship she might have had with him. That's when a knock sounded on the door. "Iris, can I come in?" Adam's voice rang fro

"Fine, this engagement is off. I don't want to marry a snob like her, either. Now, based on the agreement, half of your Starks group belongs to the Morgans," Adil declared angrily. "Adil, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind? Don't say things like that," Laila chimed in. Adam is pissed, while Iris looks calm. "Laila, didn't you see their attitude? I am their son-in-law. If they treat me this way before marriage, then what respect will they give me after I marry her?" Adil replied angrily, as if he were the one wronged here. Iris smiled sarcastically. "What? Are we being unreasonable? Is that what you are saying here? You have me serve Champagne to your friend, saying it's a custom. He touched me without my permission, and you didn't care. She came here flaunting the dress you bought for her, mocking my choice. But you still wanted me to apologize to her, and I don't want to participate in that conversation. Now you want to cancel the engagement, saying we are unreasonabl

"Mr. Knight? What have you done?" James cried out in alarm. Naomi and Tasha were equally stunned. Tasha is standing beside Adam, while Naomi is standing near her brother. Neither of the women had any delusions about whom Xavier would support. Xavier didn't bother explaining his reasons. Iris was seen looking at the handprint on Laila's cheek. She is still unable to understand where those emotions surged from. Just looking at Laila acting all coy with Xavier made something inside her snap with anger. She reacted on a primal instinct. She merely felt disgusted when she was all over Adil. But with Xavier, she became territorial. 'Damn, I was jealous. How much did I use to love this man?' she wondered. All the guests looked between Xavier and the Morgans in shock. Clearly, Xavier is standing up for the Starks, contrary to what the Morgans assumed until a few moments ago. Xavier didn't bother himself with the Morgans. His eyes are fixed on Iris, who looks surprised. The flash of her
