Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

“Stop drinking!” he yelled at me as he attempted to grab the beer that I was holding in my hand. “Give it to me!” “I’m alright… You don’t have to worry about me,” I said while dabbing my mouth with the back of my arm. “It’s only beer, and I’m doing just well. I’m a big girl now, Sean…” And I ch ugged it down in one go, at which point I felt my entire world begin to spin around me. I was able to sense the warmth of the alcohol as it wrapped itself around my intestines and spread through my body like an illness that rendered me helpless, and I was glad Sean didn’t seem to notice my discomfort. “Celine…” he called out in a soft voice. “W-what?” I inquired with my eyes only partially open. “Would you kindly accompany me back to France?” It came out of his mouth unexpectedly, and I stared at him in disbelief. What did he say? Accompany him back to France? Didn’t I already mention to him that I’m married? I was frozen in place, watching my former classmate sing with an uncomfortable throbbing in my heart. I tried to pretend that I didn’t hear him, sipping my beer and bobbing my head to the music. “I came back here just for you…” he continued. “I don’t care about your marriage or anything else that has occurred to you in the pa Just come with me, please… Let’s start all over.” “You… did you drink too much?” I queried while maintaining a nervou grin and shaking my head. “You know that my alcohol tolerance isn’t that weak…” he rasped. ” Your brother Sean is back, Celine… and he came to pick you up. And I want to keep my word to you that I will one day make you my wife…” 4/5 And suddenly, my eyes turned red and a teardrop rolled down from

my eye. 515 MISSING MY WIFE S POV

As soon as I stepped off my private jet, a black car pulled over, and Jason stepped out of it and immediately opened the back passenger seat for me. After that, he went back inside the car and sat next to the driver. “Mr. Anderson… why don’t you rest for a little while?” I heard Jason say. I nodded. “Just wake me up once we arrive in the villa, Jason…” I succumbed to the need to close my eyes and started to relax. My voice had a faint tinge of exhaustion to it, and I could feel lethargy even while I was just sitting in the car. I went to Luxembourg three days ago in order to execute a contract pertaining to my new firm, which is in the automotive industry. Over the course of the previous three days, I had been kept so busy that I had very little time to get any sleep. In Luxembourg, there was supposed to be a party in honor of the occasion tonight, and my departure was scheduled for the morning of the next day. However… I simply could not hold off any longer. Because I am missing my wife so much, I decided to forgo the party and head ba to New York as soon as I could. And when I was on the plane, I was wasting time either, because there were significant events that ha occurred in the company over the previous two days, and Jason had already emailed me right away to let me know about them. The final phase of our acquisition of Golden Kite Group required our full attention during the previous several days. I was required to pay Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

1/4 close attention, and I couldn’t afford to make any blunders. After one hour, I was awakened by a light tap on the shoulder… and ast I opened my eyes, I saw that we had finally arrived at our destination. “Good evening, Young Master!” As soon as I entered the villa, the ser vants greeted me in unison and they immediately lined up at the entrance. “Welcome back!” One of them took my briefcase, while the other took off the suit I was wearing. Another serva nt attempted to take the paperbags I was holding but I raised my palm to stop her. I wanted to give this personally to Celine “B asti!” Although my mother seemed a little taken aback when she saw me, she walked toward me with her arms wide out and embraced me with all of her might. “What brings you back here so soon? Aren’t you supposed to come back tomorrow?” “I’ve completed my work, so I came back early…” I remarked to her as I planted a peck on her cheek. “Where’s dad?” “He’s in the library studying some documents…” mom responded as she h ooked her arm around mine. “Have you eaten dinner? I’ll ask Mr. Lee to prepare something for you…” “Where’s Celine?” I asked instead, looking around the house but I couldn’t find her anywhere. The smile on mom’s face disappeared before she rolled her eyes a said, “I don’t know… your wife’s not telling me her whereabouts, an have no interest in finding out either…” And then she turned around and walked towards the kitchen. “Seb!” When Cynthia yelled from the second floor, I looked up and smiled at her while gesturing for her to come down and give me a hug. She did come running down, and hugged me and when I pulled 2/4

away, I noticed that her eyes were red and puffy. “Have you been crying?” I inquired, my brows furrowing in concentration as I looked at her. Cynthia’s eyes blazed, and she avoided meeting my gaze, giving off the impression that she was trying to conceal something from me. “ Yes… I… was actually watching a sad moment from a movie and I cried a lot… and then I heard you arrived—” “Silly girl…” Before handing her one of the paperbags, I decided to give her a nose poke. “This is for you…” “Is that for my sister-in-law?” she asked, pointing to the other one in my hand. I didn’t expect to hear that from her, so I stared at her in disbelief and asked her. “Sister-in-law…?” “Yes!” she beamed with a smile. “Celine is your wife, so it means… she’s my sister-in-law, right?” I couldn’t help but grin as I watched her peek inside the paper bag, and her eyes widened in shock when she discovered a fancy bag inside. “Can you tell me how she managed to bribe you?” The hand of Cynthia that was clutching the bag froze, and she looked at me with her eyebrows raised. “What? What bribe are you talking about?” I didn’t pursue the matter any further. I genuinely felt a sense of rel when my sister finally accepted Celine as my wife, and I thought th this was something worth celebrating. “Where is your sister-in-law, then?” I asked as I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and led her to the couch. “Oh… she went to the party to celebrate her friend’s birthday…” 3/4 “A party for her friend’s birthday?” I formed a frown. I’m only familiar with her one and only friend, and that’s Jenny.

“Yes, but does she already have any friends? Given that she had only recently transferred from school, I highly doubt that she is a friend from our own institution. I think it’s a party of her friend from Staten Island…” Cynthia reacted in a distracted manner as she continued to examine the bag that I had purchased for her. Friends from Staten Island? Sean Hayes was from Staten Island! I didn’t waste any time and bolted out of the house, oblivious to Cynthia’s repeated calls for my attention as she stood there. “Ba sti! Where are you going?” mom yelled out as she emerged from the kitchen. “Mr. Lee has already prepared your dinner! Sebastian!” And I came to a complete halt right there in the doorway before turning around to face her. “Where are you going?” mom asked again, and maybe she sensed that I was going to find Celine, so she rolled her eyes and grabbed my arm, pulling me back inside the house. “Brylee had just come back from her vacation abroad. You should visit her instead of wasting your time on finding that woman!” I brushed away her hand that was holding my arm. “I’m sorry, mom but as far as I’m concerned, my wife is all that matters to me no Having stated all of that, I retreated before turning around and ignoring her yelling at me to come back. 4/4
