The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 13



Chapter 13

"Thank you, Mom, but I can't accept this bangle."

Yasmine Taylor declined politely, not because she was afraid of Sebastian Simons's death stare, but she too felt that the heirloom was a gift too precious to accept. Plus, it was only days since she officially became their daughter-in-law.

For even though demon blood flowed within her, at least she still had an angel's conscience.

"Why not?"

Mila Simon's face fell in disappointment. She thought it was Sebastian's words that made Yasmine decline her.

"I just joined the family and I don't think I am worthy of it just yet. Mom, you can keep it first and pass it to me when the right time comes." Yasmine explained softly.

Sebastian's tension eased a little. He was satisfied with Yasmine's adequate response.

"It's not about being worthy or not. I regarded you as my dear daughter-in-law. Even if..."

She glanced at her son and said unwillingly, "If you can't stand such a marriage and eventually leave, I won't blame you. It's all up to you whether you want to take it." she concluded with firmness.

Mila insisted to put on the bangle for Yasmine. She was flustered at first, but she could not put herself to reject Mila once again, seeing how determined she was.

She knew Mila's intention well. Mila wanted to keep her in the family for the rest of her life, just like the bangle.

Yasmine went to her room with the bangle symbolizing the status of Simons' daughter-in-law. She knew all too well that there would be a trial waiting for her.

As expected, in less than three minutes, Sebastian banged at her door and yelled, "Come out! Yasmine Taylor!"

Yasmine could feel nothing but blind terror. This was the first time Sebastian called out her full name. Her scalp prickled.

She opened the door and asked slowly, "What's wrong?"

"Hand it to me."

"What?" She continued to play dumb.

Sebastian didn't waste time explaining. He snatched up her wrist forcefully, saying, "Do you want to take it off yourself, or do you want me to do it?"

"This was given to me by mom." Yasmine was also defiant.

"Looks like I have to do it. then."

When he was about to take off the bangle, Yasmine reminded him, "If you insist, I will tell the whole family that you have lost the bet."

This added oil to Sebastian's anger, who was already fuming, "How dare you threaten me?" "Well, you forced me to." Yasmine retorted.

With a quick twist, Sebastian was pinning Yasmine on the wall. His eyes burning into hers aggressively. "Looks like I made a wrong decision from the beginning."

"Well, looks like you picked a well- matched opponent from the start."

She even had the audacity to rebuff. This girl must be tired of living. His fury sprang to life, and Sebastian started to laugh sardonically. All remaining color blanched from Yasmine's face.

"Fine. It's okay if you don't want to take it off. But don't regret it this weekend." threatened Sebastian. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Are you gonna break our deal?"

"Well, I won't. I will go with you but there is no guarantee on how I would act at the Taylors. Since, after all, this was not part of our deal right?" Sebastian knew he got the upper hand.

No doubt that Sebastian was smart, digging a fatal loophole in their deal so easily.

Yasmine thought for a few seconds and then compromised. "Do you think you'll behave well if I return the bangle to you?"

"I might consider," Sebastian smirked.
