Tame Me My Brother -in-Law Chapter 9
As soon as the shaking of the elevator started, I grabbed hold of the iron
railing that was next to me. The light went out for a split second before going
back on as the most horrifying thump filled my ears, but then it turned off
once more. Oh, God⦠When everyone in the room started yelling, I found that I
had no way to hold back the gasp that burst up from within me.
Someone yelled out, âWhat the hell is going on?â
âWe have no way out!â a third party remarked.
âOh my God, Iâm claustrophobicâ¦â I could clearly hear the woman in front of
me murmur.
Someone gave a response, and almost instantly⦠he pulled out his mobile
phone and turned the lights on. He didnât spend any time and immediately
punched the emergency button. Almost immediately, a booming voice could

âEveryone, listen! Try not to freak out. Everything is operating as it should. The
maintenance staff is currently on their way to perform elevator repairs. I will
say it once more: Donât panic, stay calm, and everything will be fine in a short
whileâ¦â
And at that point, there was complete silence, yet I couldnât help but feel
tense. I was under the impression that I was fortunate to board the elevator
at the appropriate moment; nevertheless, it turned out that I was actually
unlucky to be trapped in an elevator that was stuck with a number of
strangers.
I heaved a sigh as the abrupt spin in my head caused me to trip and
accidentally step on the foot of a woman who was behind me. âOh⦠Iâm
sorry⦠I didnât mean itâ¦â
However, she didnât accept my apology without a fight. Itâs possible that she
was already frustrated with the predicament we find ourselves in right now,
and that my stepping on her foot added fuel to the fire. The next thing I knew,

chest.
the man hadnât caught me in time, I would have fallen to the ground and
hurt myself. âCareful, Missâ¦â the man said and chills ran down my spine. It
was as if I heard his voice before.

face, but I was unable to do so. I was abruptly thrust back into his arms for a
second time after the elevator was suddenly rocked by a tremendous bang,
which also occurred suddenly.
âOh my, God!â Following one another in rapid succession, a variety of yells
and cries immediately erupted.
âDonât be afraid everyone. The elevator is currently down for maintenance. It
will be working soon.â The speaker once more uttered words that were
reassuring to the audience.
When I saw that the arm that wasnât holding my groceries was wrapped

around the neck of the stranger, my eyes expanded to the size of saucers.
âUhâ¦, Iâm sorryâ¦â
Just as I was about to remove my arm from around his neck, he hooked his
arms around my waist and began to pull me closer to him. âStay still!â
âWhat?â I was completely at a loss for words. Is there a problem with the
elevator again?

But a moment passed by before I heard a warm breathing sound that tickled
my ear. âYour smell is so familiarâ¦â he whispered. âThat vanilla and strawberry
scentâ¦â
And thatâs when I realized that I knew this man. No wonder his voice was so
familiar. Heâs no other than Sebastian Anderson. My sisterâs boyfriend whom I
had slept with a week ago.
His words were echoing in my mind that made me stiffen, and I found myself
instantly transforming into a human statue made of stone.

The feeling of panic that overcame me when I realized that the elevator was
stuck⦠the claustrophobic darkness inside⦠and the trembling sensation.
caused by the screams and shouts of the people around me were not quite
as terrible as the sensation that I was experiencing right at this precise
moment.
This man was my worst nightmare and the reason that tied my heart in
knots. As if on cue, the recollection of the shady agreement I had made with
my sister immediately came flooding back to me the moment I thought of
him.
âI donât want to see your face ever again in this city. Go back to the province
where you currently live and stay there until you die.â
âNever show your face in this place again! Youâre as disgusting as shit!â
My brain was buzzing, a cacophony of thoughts. My heart was still bleeding
from those words, and I could already anticipate the consequences if my
father and his wife found out that I was in the city.

âWho are you?â he asked, his arms were still wrapped around my waist. His
voice was hoarse but calm and steady, and it wasnât too loud but it was
more than enough for me to hear it clearly.

At this very instant, the palms of my hands couldnât help but start to break
out in a chilly sweat. Even though it was obviously cold outside, my back was
still sweating like it had a mind of its own.
âHey! When are they going to finish the elevatorâs repair?â The woman who
had pushed me yelled her disapproval into the air.
âYeah⦠when can we expect it to be fixed? Itâs getting hot in here!â The person
who pressed the emergency button yelled in an obnoxious manner, but the
man who was holding my waist wasnât affected by the noise. Instead, he
pressed me closer against his body and his warm breath was now fanning
my cheek.
My body reacted instantly. My mind and my hormones were now battling. My
mind was telling me to push him away, but my hormones said stay still, donât
move, and let him hold you.
Oh, dear God! Please help meâ¦
