Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 5
I watched them laugh for a moment before I cut in.
“Where’s my money?” I interrupted their laughter or should I say their
daydreaming, and as expected… I was met with deadly stares from both of
them.
They were the ones who offered me this— to disguise as Brylee… to make
Sebastian Anderson sleep with me and prove to him that Brylee is a virgin
and no man had ever touched her before. And if he was convinced, he would
eventually marry my sister.
My twin sister couldn’t do it because she was a bit of a whore who had slept
with a large number of men. When they offered me this task, I immediately
agreed to it because I needed the money for my mom who was badly ill. I
can’t let my mom suffer just like that. She had enough with my dad… and I
think it’s time for me to make her happy.
I still recalled her telling me that when I and Brylee were still months old, she
found out that dad already has a lover named Sasha. She was the woman in
front of me, gazing at me with fire in her eyes right now. Since my mother and
I were abandoned by our father, he had never provided for our financial
needs. He brought Brylee with him, and throughout her childhood, she
thought of Saha as her mother, while she rejected her biological mother as
her own.
This woman here treated both my mother and me like we were nothing more
than beggars, as if in her eyes we were nothing more than trash. And this old
man has never spoken to me and treated me like I was his daughter. In his
mind, I was more of a burden, and I could feel that he sometimes wished that
I hadn’t been a part of his life. Not sometimes though, but always.
“Your money?” my father spat as he rose from his seat and moved closer to
where I was standing. “Look at yourself! The poverty is written all over your
existence!”
I took a deep breath, trying hard to calm myself while clenching my fists on
both sides, controlling them not to smack my father’s ugly face. The money I
was asking from him was not for me but for my mother!
“Honey, don’t let your temper flare up with her. What kind of life do you expect
if her mother is a beggar as well? Do you ever think that she can compare
her beauty with our Brylee? She’s nothing but a complete yokel. Such a
disgrace that you have a daughter like her!”
“Yokel?” I asked through gritted teeth. “You have to remind yourself that the
yokel you’re referring to, is the one you asked for help yesterday!” I gradually
loosened my fist, aware that it wasn’t necessary to go ballistic with a person
like her but I couldn’t control myself with all their insults towards me and my
mother.
“Is this how your mother raised you, huh?” my father roared in my face. “By
talking to someone who is older than you, especially to my wife?! You’re
showing me a lack of respect as your father!”
Father?
Since when did he act as my father? And he expected me to treat him as
one? Hah!
And respect? He disrespected my mother first! He’s not worthy of it.
“Why are you giving me that look, huh?” he inched closer and my eyes
widened when he raised his hand to hit me.
“Do it! Hit me! You have never treated me as your daughter, anyway!” I was
holding his eyes while staring at him with a blank expression, as if he were a
complete stranger, and I could sense that he was becoming increasingly
uneasy as a result of the gaze that I was sending his way.
His hand stopped mid–air and he only put it down when he heard his wife
talk.
“Here’s your money!” she said, throwing the paper bills in my face and my
heart thumped with wrath as I glared at her. “That’s ten thousand dollars,
bitch!”
I heaved a deep sigh as I knelt down to pick up all of the money that had
been scattered across the carpet and checked to be sure that I hadn’t
missed any bills. My heart was shedding tears of both agony and joy since I
can finally support my mother’s treatment.
In my twenty–four years of existence in this world, Dad never gave me a
single penny but because I helped her loving daughter by pretending to be
her, I got ten thousand dollars just like that.
