Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

66. MAD CELINE'S POV “What exactly are you going on about?” Sebastian appeared. perplexed, and then raised both of his eyebrows while gesturing forto continue.

“Even though you have seen Brylee for who she really is, you continue. to act as though you don’t care about anything...” | sighed, my hand stayed on his chest. “Are you attempting to show how much you care for her in this way, or are you up to something else?” The man’s eyes becsignificantly darker in an instant. He raised my chin higher, and it appeared as though he wanted to press his lips. against mine. “Go on...” “Go on?” | laughed it off. “You mean to say that you wantto make an educated guess as to what your intentions are... right? | apologize, but this brain of mine is not exactly stimulating. | have no idea what Mr.

Anderson’s motivation is... What is it about the Lauren family that makes you feel compelled to keep playing your game, huh?” | pushed him away fromand reached into his pocket, where | found a white handkerchief. | spread it out, and wiped my chin with it.

“I don’t care what your purpose is; I'm not interested in finding out...” | hissed. “Never in your life should you lumpin with the Lauren family!” | then proceeded to wipe the blood off of his wrist and throw the handkerchief on his chest, but he didn’t bother to catch it.

“No matter what you're up to, please don’t implicatein anything!” | added. “I. Don’t. Belong to the Lauren Family!” +25 BONUS And with my chin held up high, | turned around and walked back inside the house.

After making sure that | was far enough from Sebastian for him not to follow me, | stopped for a while, panting.

My whole body was shaking, and | was reeling with fear.

Yes, | must admit that | did feel a little bit of fear. But not with the fact that | had caught Sasha in the middle of doing something that cannot be spoken of; rather... it was with the fact that | was caught being a voyeur and red-handed.

“Celine!” | was completely distracted by my thoughts when suddenly 1 found myself in such a state of shock that I let out a scream.

“Hey!” Instantaneously, Jake dashed over toand cupped my face with his hands while a worried expression crossed his face. “Are you okay?” “Y-yeah...” | gave him a nod as | moved away from him. “I'm sorry... wasn’t paying attention; | didn’t hear you calling my name...” “Where have you been?” he asked, the worried expression on his fac didn’t change a bit. “I've been looking for you for ages, | almost asked your father about you...” “You saw him?” | inquired in a hasty manner.

“Yeah...” he nodded with a smile. “He was discussing something with Seb’s father, possibly the date of the wedding...” Oh... so, the wedding will go ahead as planned. | have to plan something special for all of them.

“There's a ggoing on over the stage!” someone suddenly shouted out of the blue. “There’s a big prize that will be given to the winner of this game! Let's go!” +25 BONUS As soon as Jake heard this, he draggedup onto the stage.

“Hey! What exactly are you up to?” | questioned him as | attempted to wrest control of my hand away from him, but his hold on my wrist. was too strong.

“We're going to join the game!” He yelled out in a jovial manner, as we made our way towards the stage.

“No!” | shook my head, laughing. “I'm not very good at playing games!” But Jake didn’t listen to me. He grabbed hold ofand we made our way through the swarm of people until we were standing in front of the stage, where | could see the host holding the microphone. | was able to recognize him as the host of a program on one of the New York television stations.

“This gis called ‘blindman’s swag...” he began to explain the rules and how to play the game. “In this game, the man has to use only words to direct his partner, who is blindfolded, to the money that was hidden inside the box. He would command his partner to wal left, or right until she eventually reached the box...” The audience demonstrated their familiarity with the gby clapping their hands and showing that they understood the rules.

“And the prize inside the box is a w hooping 20,000 dollars!” the host added and everybody roared in excitement, but | wasn’t paying attention to them anymore because | caught a glimpse of Sasha laughing.

She was on the opposite side of the crowd, and she wasn’t by herself. There was a man beside her, but | didn’t recognize him as my father.

The man was sitting at the side, holding a wine glass in his hand, smiling and whispering something into her ear.

The lights were not particularly clear, and there were a large number +25 BONUS of people in the area. They were too blurry forto make out what they were doing.

| have to figure out who the man is, so that | can get hold of something about Sasha. My memory servescorrectly that she called him Richard.

As | got closer to them to get a better look, | suddenly felt someone wrap their hand around my wrist.

“Let's go, Celine!” Jake exclaimed with elation and grabbed my hand to pullup onto the stage. | didn’t realize that the host was done. explaining the rules.

When | noticed that there were people standing together on the stage, | couldnt help but frown. What sort of a gis this, exactly? “Don’t be nervous, I'm here to help you out...” Jake murmured something tofrom behind, and simply nodded as | continued to go with the flow while keeping my eyes fixed on Sasha and her lover.

| could clearly see that she was glowing, and judging by the ‘s profile, it appeared as though he was doing the sthing. | place him, but | had the distinct impression that | had seen him before.

All of a sudden, the entire place becpitch black, and | was unabl to see anything. At that point, | becaware that Jake was covering my eyes with a blindfold.

“Jake...” | whispered and he hummed in response. “What am | going to do?” “Just follow my instructions, okay?” he whispered. “Okay, go! Walk in a straight line...!” What? | advanced one step while simultaneously extending my arms in an attempt to grab hold of something. The crowd was cheering on everyone who took part in the gby yelling, screaming, and blowing wolf whistles.

+25 BONUS “Celine, make a right turn!” Over the din of the yelling crowd, | picked out Jake's voice. | did as he instructed and turned my heels to the right, but | accidentally tripped over my own feet, which causedto lose my balance.

Even though | couldn’t see anything, | squeezed my eyes shut in preparation to fall on the ground. However, | gasped when two arms. caught me, and | felt that we both fell on the ground, but | landed on top of the person who has strong arms and a hard chest.

But the fact that my lips were pressed against something moist and pliable was the aspect of the situation that shockedthe most. And | believe that it was the lips of the man that caught me.

immediately took off the blindfold just in time, only to see Jake beaming atwith satisfaction after the increasingly loud cheers from the crowd.

| was on top of him, and he was lying on the ground, his arms were wrapped around my waist. When | turned my head to look at the crowd, | met Sebastian's dark eyes staring directly atand they seemed to be on fire.

My eyes widened when he started to walk in our direction, but before he could get any closer to us, Cynthia arrived first and pulledup from Jake.

“Celine!” I heard her shout and my gaze shifted from Sebastian to his sister. “What are you doing? Get off of him!” Cynthia’s eyes were red as she stared at me, her expression was like that of a jealous little wife.

| immediately yanked her hand that was holding my arm, and 5/7 +25 BONUS subconsciously reached out to touch my lips, which had just been kissed by Jake. | was a little embarrassed because | didn’t expect that to happen, especially to Jake, who was a good friend of mine.

But what madeeven more embarrassed was that when | looked up to Sebastian, he was already standing there in front ofwith dark eyes, and next to him was the girl who shared my face, smiling annoyingly.

“What are you doing, Cynthia?” Jake snapped, and he seemed a little. annoyed, his tone was a little rude towards the young woman. “Get out of here!” Cynthia was stunned as she looked at Jake with tears pooling in her eyes. | assumed that it was the first tthat Jake treated her that way.

We were interrupted by the host, who suddenly spoke through the mic, easing the explosive atmosphere. The music played on the other side, immediately began to blast out music.

The lighting master quickly shone the light on Sebastian and Brylee, hoping to divert everyone's attention.

However, the crowd's attention was still fixed on us, and that madesigh in frustration because they would think that | caused this trouble again... as the girl who had a bad reputation.

Now, they would be thinking that | was h ooking up with Jake this time.

“What were you trying to do just now?” Cynthia took that opportunity to talk to me. “You just kissed Jake in front of many people!” Me? | kissed him? | couldn’t help but smirk at her statement.

“What are you laughing at?” she hissed. “Everyone knows how shameless you are! Why are you even here in my house in the first +25 BONUS place? Who invited you? Get out of my face!” “Cynthia, stop!” Jake tried to stop her, and she looked up at him. Hurt was evident in her eyes.

“Jake...” she whispered, her voice was shaky. “Why are you defending her?” “I'm not defending her...” Jake gritted his teeth. “What you're doing is just so wrong and I'm trying to stop you!” Seeing this, | felt a headache brewing. So, | turned around and was ready to leave this troublesplace and end the farce.

“You shouted atfor this s ut?” Cynthia screeched, and her words madestop short.

“You're not making any sense, Cynthia...” Jake groaned. “You're getting mad over nothing!” 777
