Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

47. TORTURE CELINE’S POV Due to the late time, Blake requested that I spend the night in the hospital and leave first thing in the morning. I used the money that Sebastian paid me to get private room for her to stay in while she’s unconscious. inva I slept on the couch while Blake slept on the chair beside Jenny’s bed, with his head propped up on it. Jenny hadn’t woken up yet when I left the hospital to confront my father.. I took a taxi to take me to the Lauren Mansion and as Nadia opened the door for me, there was a broad smile plastered on her lips. However… it soon faded away and she seemed confused as she stared at me. “Miss Brylee…?” She inquired, and I couldn’t help but smirk. I was still wearing one of the signature dresses that Jake bought for me, so Nadia was a little uncertain of who I was. I didn’t have time to talk to her, so I shoved her aside and went directly to the hall. I looked all around the living room, but I couldn’t find my father. Instead, several wealthy ladies were chatting and laughing with Sasha, who was holding a wine glass while laughing her a ss off. She didn’t notice me yet as I gave her a death glare before I walked past them. Someone noticed me and I heard her asking Sasha who I was as I walked away from them. “That’s Celine…” Sasha answered uninterestedly. “Brylee and Sebastian are on a vacation right now…” 1/6 I threw open the door to one of the rooms on the lower level, and when I did, I noticed Julio having a conference meeting with three other men dressed in suits who were seated at the long table.

“Oh… hi there, Brylee…” One of the men greeted me but I paid him no attention whatsoever. Of course, I don’t know him and, aside from that, I’m not Brylee… My father turned to look at me and he frowned when he noticed that I was glaring at him. “Didn’t you go on a vacation with your sister?” he asked, tearing his gaze away from me and continued to read something from the paper that he was holding. “Why are you back so soon?”

“There’s something I need to discuss with you!” I announced, but he didn’t budge. “Right now!” The men around him appeared to be momentarily astonished as they looked at me, and that’s when they realized that I wasn’t Brylee who was perhaps sweet and nice to them. Their gazes met Julio’s and he just shrugged his shoulders. “You can say whatever you want in front of them. They are your uncles…” Oh, really? I smirked as I crossed my arms over my chest and got ready to speak. “Did you accidentally hit a woman on the street yesterday?” “W-what are you talking about?” he asked, pretending he didn’t know anything, but his face paled. “You know what I’m talking about!” exclaimed. “You were drunk yesterday and you hit a girl but you fled away from the scene! You didn’t even help with bringing her to the hospital!” nan “Watch your mouth, young woman!” he shouted as he slammed the paper on the table before pointing his forefinger in my direction. “I already gave them money! What else do they want from me?” 2/6 “You gave them money by hurling it in her boyfriend’s face? Are you insane?” I can’t believe it! He was even proud to say that! “And the money you gave them is not enough!” “Not enough?” he laughed. “It was “What’s going on here?” I rolled my eyes when I heard Sasha’s voice from behind me. “You’re such a

disrespectful woman! Can’t you see your father is busy? Get the hell out of here!” “No…” I said calmly. “I’m still talking to my father.” “What do you want, huh?” Julio interrupted. “What do you want me to do with that woman?” “You should pay for all her medical expenses and apologize for what you did!” I exclaimed, but she smacked me across the face for making such an outrageous statement. “Julio… we can talk things out,” one of the men said, and the other two men followed his lead in getting up from their seats. The women outside who had heard the noise came rushing inside th room, and they looked shocked when they saw me holding my fac I was hoping that by pressing my palm against my cheek, the stinging pain that I was experiencing at the moment would be alleviated. I could tell that it was now bright red against my cre amy complexion. However, I didn’t give them any indication that I was in pain. Instead, I straightened up and faced my father without showing any fear. “I want you to apologize to them and pay for all the bills!” Julio’s chest heaved up and down in anger, and as he looked around and found Nadia, who was also trembling from fear, he motioned his finger for her to come closer to him. “Bring me my whip, now!” My eyes widened as I watched Nadia bow her head down and reply,” Yes, Sir…” before leaving the room. “Don’t do this to your daughter, Julio…” the tall man dissuaded him but held her hand up to stop him from interrupting. “Well… If you ask me, I believe that what’s running in Julio’s mind is the appropriate thing to do…” Sasha said it with a cruel grin on her face. “Our morals are centered on filial piety, and if he didn’t educate this girl, I’m worried that our family would be embarrassed in the years to come.” “Yes…” the blonde woman said in agreement. “I think she got this attitude because she hasn’t gotten enough whippings!” she twirled her hair and grinned, preparing herself to watch a good show. On the other hand, I didn’t feel any kind of fear at all. He can treat me anyway he pleases, but I haveNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

no choice but to stand firm in my position. My eyes were dull for a few seconds as I stared at him before I sneered. “So… you’re going to hit me with that?” Before giving me a warning, Julio just looked at me blankly and asked, “Are you going to say that again?” I smirked as I opened my mouth to speak. “I want you to apologize them and pay for all the bills!” And the whip instantly hit my body. I gasped when I felt my dress was torn open as the whip landed on my body. “I want you to apologize to them and pay for all the bills!” I reiterated, this time with a more determined and adamant tone, my eyes blazing with fire as I glared at him. I took a stronger hit from the whip, and the lashes were delivered to me one after the other till I collapsed to the ground. But the whip didn’t stop at all. One whip after another was very decisive and cold-blooded. I squeezed my eyes shut feeling his rage. through his whip. The ferocity with which his whip struck through me made it seem as though I were one of his enemies. Hot tears pooled in my eyes but I didn’t let them run down my face as I stared into those enraged eyes of that red-faced man. “Hey, Julio! You have to stop this!” the gray-haired man couldn’t take what he was seeing anymore, so he tried to stop my father from hurting me. “This… this is too harsh…” the blonde who commented a while ago winced, as if she was the one being hit. “So… are you going to say it again?” Julio asked, ignoring his friends. He was so angry that my expensive dress had been lashed and torn by his whippings, and there were streaks of blood all over my skin. I slammed both of my hands down on the ground, my hair falling in a tangled mess around my face.

“I will expose you to the world and tell everyone what you forced me to do in return for ten thousand dollars!” I threatened him and I noticed that his eyes widened as he sent a vicious gaze in my direction. I could hear the collective exclamation of shock as everyone in the room turned their attention to my father. “Everyone, let’s get moving!” the third man clapped his hands and signaled for the people who were within the room to leave. “I’m sorry to have let you see something so shameful!” Sasha apologized and led everyone to the living room. She was perhaps worried that I might spill their secrets. The very idea made me chuckle to myself. “Did you just threaten me?” my father asked when he was certain that we were the only people remaining inside the room, his eyes were 5/6 bloodshot red as he glared at me. “Over my dead body will I hear you threaten me!” As soon as he finished speaking, he ruthlessly struck me down again. “I’ll beat you to death today and the secret dies with you!” and the whip hit me again for I don’t know how many times already. With my weakening hands and blurred vision, I was able to clutch the whip which was stained red with blood. The blood that reflected the redness of my eyes, still prevented them from welling up some tears. “Julio Lauren! You can beat me to death as much as you want, but I swear to you that I will drag you down to hell with me!” I yelled out feebly, and at that precise moment, I saw my father reeling from shock. But Sasha hurriedly went back inside and gripped my father’s arms. I thought she would stop him. I thought she would have compassion for me. But the moment she opened her mouth, I knew that I

couldn’t escape from this torture. “You know what… you’re just like your mother who had a knack fo threatening people! You deserved this!” and her statement snappe my father’s rationality in half. “You’re right!” he scoffed. “Today… will teach this unfilial daughter a good lesson. I want to see if you can still speak when you’re all cr ippled!” he said and raised his whip and was about to rain me lashes, but a hand just stopped him from doing so. “What the—” “Dad…?” Brylee’s face remained fixed on Julio in a state of stunned. amazement before she turned to look at me with eyes that were brimming with concern. “Brylee…” as soon as he spotted his favorite daughter, his eyes lit up, but he froze when he noticed the man stopping his hand from hitting me. “S-sebastian?”
