All Chapters of Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aurora POV I went into a panic, my heart racing, breathing quickened, knees wanting to buckle. I pressed my back against the wall to try and steady myself. What had I just seen? Who were those men? And why had Dominic killed them so coldly?Before I could gather my thoughts, Dominic’s voice rang out, sharp and alert. "Who's there?" His words sent a jolt through me, and I knew I couldn’t hide any longer. My cover was blown.Slowly, I stepped away from the wall, the jacket still clutched in my trembling hands. I forced myself to walk toward the door, my steps unsteady but determined. The moment I appeared in the doorway, Dominic's eyes widened in shock, disbelief washing over his features.I stood there, frozen, holding his jacket. The warehouse was silent, the tension thick as Dominic stared at me, his expression a mixture of surprise and something else-something I couldn't quite place.I took a deep breath, and the weight of what lay before me was heavy upon my chest. I couldn't just

Aurora's POV I moved, firing at the first target, then quickly shifting to the next. Each shot felt a little more natural, the weapon an extension of my will. I hit each target, not perfectly, but close enough that a surge of pride ran through me.When I was done, I turned to Dominic, breathless but exhilarated. He watched me, his eyes shining with pride and something deeper, something that made my heart stutter."You're amazing," he whispered, the words filtering through me like warmth. "You're ready for this, Aurora."I nodded, a resolve settling inside of me. "I want to be ready, Dominic.Dominic stepped back, his eyes narrowing as he studied me. "Alright, Aurora," he said, his voice going more serious, more testing. "Now, let's see if you've been paying attention."I nodded, feeling a wave of nerves mixed with excitement. I was ready for whatever he had planned.Dominic walked over to the control panel on the wall and pressed a few buttons. Suddenly, several targets popped up at

Aurora's POV The cold steel of the gun pressed against my palm, grounding me in the present as I stood in the dimly lit underground range. Dominic's voice echoed in the background, offering guidance and corrections, but my mind was elsewhere, trapped in the haunting memories of that fateful day.I could still hear the sharp crack of gunfire that shattered the morning calm. My father, a pillar of strength, crumpled to the ground, his eyes wide with shock. My sister's scream was cut short as she fell beside him, her lifeless eyes staring into nothingness. My mother, always so gentle, lay in a pool of crimson, her hand outstretched towards me as if in a final act of protection. Even our nanny, who had cared for us since birth, was not spared; her body slumped over the kitchen table where she had been preparing our breakfast.I had been frozen in place, hidden behind the heavy drapes of the living room, watching in silent horror as my family was systematically wiped out. The assassins mo

Aurora's POV My heart skipped a beat. "Concerns? What kind of concerns?" "She feels perchance you're not quite as committed to the mission as you say you are," he said slowly, the words weighing heavily off his tongue.A surge of indignation went through my body. "That's not true, Dominic. You know how dedicated I am."He considered me for a moment, then nodded. "I believe you, Aurora. But I needed to hear it from you."Relief washed over me, but it was tempered by the realization that Isabella was actively seeking to undermine me.As the days passed, Isabella's tactics grew more insidious. She would feign distress in Dominic's presence, her furtive glances falling on me, as if I was somehow the cause of her distress. Once, she managed to get Dominic to catch her in tears, hinting subtly that I had been being cruel to her.Dominic confronted me, his face a mask of concern and confusion. "Aurora, did something happen between you and Isabella?"I shook my head, frustration bubbling bene

Aurora's POVI stepped into the restroom, my mind racing as I tried to think of a way to delay our outing without raising Isabella’s suspicions. My phone buzzed in my hand again, and I quickly answered when I saw Dominic's name on the screen.“Aurora,” Dominic’s voice was apologetic, tinged with frustration. “I won’t be coming home as soon as I thought. The business meeting I’m in has been delayed. But listen, I still want you to stay at home. Don’t go out until I get back, okay?”Disappointment and concern mixed in my chest. I had hoped he would arrive soon and help me understand what was going on. “Okay,” I agreed quietly. “I’ll stay home.”“Good,” Dominic said, his tone softening. “Just be safe. I’ll call you as soon as I’m on my way.”“Alright,” I murmured before ending the call.I took a deep breath, realizing I needed a more drastic excuse to cancel the shopping trip. An idea formed in my mind, one that wasn’t ideal but necessary. I stepped further into the bathroom, scanning fo
