Chapter 13


    "Thank you, Mom, but I can''t ept 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 ept. Plus, it was only days since she


    officially became their daughter-inw.


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


    "Why not?"


    M 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 timees." Yasmine exined 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-inw. Even if..."


    She nced at her son and said unwillingly, "If you can''t stand such a marriage and eventually


    leave, I won''t me you. It''s all up to you whether you want to take it." she concluded with firmness.


    M insisted to put on the bangle for Yasmine. She was flustered at first, but she could not put


    herself to reject M once again, seeing how determined she was.


    She knew M''s intention well. M 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-inw. 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 y dumb.


    Sebastian didn''t waste time exining. 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 tough sardonically. All remaining color nched 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.


    "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 thenpromised. "Do you think you''ll behave well if I


    return the bangle to you?"


    "I might consider," Sebastian smirked.
