I Accidentally Slept With My Future Brother In Law Chapter 08

He looked down at me, his eyes glistening faintly red, the same hurt look he’d had after I’d

been with him the night before.

“Sister-in-law.” His voice was hoarse and low. “Where are you going?”

“I… I’m going to the courtyard washroom.” I lied quickly.

He pointed to the opposite direction, his tone certain. “The washroom is that way.”

I froze, then forced another lie. “I don’t know the way.”

He stared at me silently, his gaze direct and stubborn, making me uncomfortable all over.

I took a deep breath and laid it all out.

“Elian, let’s be clear. Last night’s accident never happened. Can we leave it at that?”

“No.” He answered without hesitation.

“Why not?”

He bit his lower lip, looking utterly miserable. “I’ve lived properly for eighteen years. I’ve never

been close to any woman-not even held hands. You take what you want, then erase it like it

never happened?”

“What do you want me to do?” I was cornered.

“You have to take responsibility for me.”

I panicked instantly. “How? I’m supposed to marry your brother!”

His eyes turned red at once, his tone stubborn and petulant. “Then I won’t accept it.”

I was completely at a loss.

I gave in randomly. “After we’re married, we can arrange things privately. We can take turns. Is

that okay?”

His eyes flicked slightly, but he still shook his head. “No.”

“Otherwise, my children would have to call me uncle. It’s too humiliating.”

I be like”???”.

Dude, don’t get ahead of yourself…

I gritted my teeth and tried to buy him off. “What if I give you three more gold pouches?”

He leaned back against the wall, blocking my way, stubborn as a mule, his eyes red again.

“Then I’ll kill myself.”

“Five gold pouches!” I upped the offer.

He stayed stubborn. “Then I’ll kill myself.”

I was done. Was that his only line?

I was stuck with him when Diana’s timid voice came from the other end of the hall.

“Sis… brother-in-law? What are you doing out here?”

I peeked over instinctively.

Rowan was leaning close to Diana’s ear, whispering something.

In an instant, Diana turned deathly pale and froze all over.

She looked up at me, eyes desperate, begging for help.

I held up my hands and smiled bitterly. I couldn’t even save myself.

After a full quarter-hour, we were both released and met hurriedly in the manor’s side hall.

“What did he say to you?” I asked quickly.

Diana still looked shaken, her face white.

“He explained every law of royal marriage to me… Sis, I really want to die.”

I fell silent and sighed helplessly. “Same here. Elian’s threatening to kill himself unless I take

responsibility.”

The air went completely still.

After a long moment, Diana lifted her head, her gaze serious and bold. “Let’s… run away.”

I froze, then understood at once.

“I mean we fake our deaths.”

“If we’re dead, the royal engagement is canceled automatically. Father won’t be blamed.”

Diana’s eyes lit up. She nodded immediately. “That works!”

“Run or not?”

“Run! Together!”

We agreed instantly, perfectly in sync.
