All Chapters of Brother-in-laws dark obsession: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"What are you thinking?" Xavier murmured from over her head. "Nothing" she whispered. She is thinking about how wrong this is, yet how right it is feeling. "Don't lie Kitten. It doesn't sound convincing" he replied camly, with a hint of playfulness. She lifted her head from his chest so that she can look at him. His features are now softer than usual, and he looked relaxed and calm. Not the kind of Calm that hides a storm. But this calm looked peaceful. "What are we doing Xavier?" she asked, feeling vulnerable. This is not just a small mistake which can be forgotten by punishment like kneeling. This is huge. If this ever gets out, it would ruin his reputation. He loses more than she does. His name, fame, respect and everything he worked hard for, he will lose it all. He is gambling with everything he has and earned over the years. She will be forgotten like yesterday's news, but his name would become a topic for gossiping. He didn't reply immediately. "I am keeping you clo

In the hospital, Natasha threw a dressing tray at Iris the moment she entered. Iris is not hurt, but Sara looked stunned. Sara never thought that the Jones are down right abusive towards Iris. "Why are you here? You useless thing. How dare you show your face again. You stood there quietly when everyone were targeting me and mom. Why didn't you stand up for us? Were you secretly celebrating that we got punished? You are intentionally acting innocent don't you? So that everyone would think you are sensible, right? You can fool them all, but you cannot fool us. We know the likes of you very well. Jones brought you out of that orphanage and raised you, is that you repay us?" Natasha fumes. Iris froze just near the threshold. Her eyes welled up with tears. All the nurses and patients in the corridor stopped what they were doing when Natasha started yelling. Natasha is being unreasonable. "Sister, I asked you and mom to stop. I tried to help you. But neither you nor mom listed to me. Ho

In the Jones group, Baron looked shocked. He is staring at the contract termination letter from the Scions. This project was so prestigious to the Jones which could earn them huge profits and good reputation. Baron was sure this is a done deal, mostly because Xavier was known to back the Jones. But the red letters sprawling across the contract that spelled 'Canceled' is saying a different story. "Why is this happening? Did Mr. Scion's assistant said anything about why they are terminating this contract?" Baron inquired with a deep frown. "They didn't say anything. Just handed these papers and left" his assistant replied. Baron slumped back on his chair behind his desk. He remembered how displeased Adam was last night in the Knights gala. He looked offended by Candace and Natasha's behavior. 'Did he cancel this contract because of this?' he wondered. Just as he was trying to process this while cursing his wife's big mouth, things started to get worse. "Boss, all our investor

In the Jones residence, a harsh slap echoed around the house which took everyone by shock. Candace was clutching her now throbbing cheek with a stunned silence. It was Natasha who spoke first. "Dad? What are you doing?" she cried in alarm. Baron glared at her. She is the daughter he raised with care. He thought she would help the Jones in standing beside the elites. He pulled so many strings and almost made that happen. But it didn't last long. Everything he worked for is ruined. "What am I doing? I am teaching your mother a lesson. I should probably teach you too, but looking at how pathetic you look, I cannot bring myself to do that. So I am slapping your mother instead. I gave you both too much free hand. Now look at the mess you both created. Your faces are splashed all over the internet. You are representing the Knights now. How can you act so recklessly? Xavier doesn't favor you now. You cannot even carry a heir for him. At this rate, he might divorce you sooner or later,

Xavier was lying on his back while looking at the white ceiling which has floral pattern carvings. Iris is long asleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. There is so much restless energy piling up inside him that he couldn't relax long enough to sleep. He glanced back at the woman who gave herself to him so trustingly. That made it all real. She is no longer the shadow whom he insisted upon keeping for himself. No, her existence became very real after tonight. He doesn't want to keep her in the shadows for long. She doesn't deserve that. She deserves a better status than being Natasha's shadow. 'No, I need to clear things quickly. Once the mining begins and it becomes stable, that would be enough to crush the the ego of the Knights' Once he established the fact that he doesn't need the Knights to survive but its the other way around, then everything would fall into place. He no longer had to pretend that he cares. He can openly expose the Jones and take Iris as his. And this project in
