Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law - Chapter 204

When Mimi entered the park with Diana, everyone turned their gaze towards her. Mimi became self-conscious so she stuck her hands into her short blue jeans pocket. Diana walked in front of her as they neared the people.

Denis who was behind them the whole time walked to Mimi and asked, ”are you two really going out? Funny that you fell for your enemy”

”Mimi turned and looked at him, ”excuse me. What do you mean?”

”Miss Mimi is here, let’s see… which team should I place you?” Alex walked over and spoke, distracting Mimi.

Mimi turned and looked at Denis as she walked away with Alex. She had an ominous feeling about Denis already but what he said was beginning to weigh on her.

”Okay, Mimi will join Wales’ group for the shooting race. Wales is your leader, okay?” Alex said as he walked away, leaving Mimi in front of Wales and his group of four members.

Mimi looked at Wales and her cheeks turned red. She lowered her gaze shyly.

”Team leader, I brought our uniform” Sofia announced as she put the bag containing their uniform down. She looked at Mimi and asked, ”Miss Mimi can use the verse since the rest are big for her”

”Okay, you ladies can go and change. We will meet at the starting point in five minutes. Remember to be punctual since our marks depend on it” Wales said to them.

”Yes, Team Leader!” the three officers replied.

”Let’s go, Miss Mimi” Sofia said to Mimi. Since they were the only two females in the group, they went together to get changed. Mimi followed Sofia towards the female changing room.

….

”Does she know that you were the one who messed up her life?” Denis asked as he stood by Wales’ side, also changing into his team outfit.

”What?” Wales turned to look at him.

”You and her are dating? I wonder if she knows what you did to her at the Governor’s party, she will still agree to be with you”

”What’s your problem with me, Denis?”

”People like you don’t deserve to be happy. How dare you try to be happy after what you did to my sister?”

”Your sister? Denis, do I need to remind you that your sister and your family broke off the engagement first?”

”That’s because you broke my sister’s heart. You said you would marry her but you can’t love her. You forced her to cancel the engagement because of your nonchalant attitude. I thought that you weren’t capable of love because you always seemed so unperturbed but now you actually dare to fall for someone and that too, your own cousin who also happens to be the same woman you drugged and caused her to be raped by a movie director”

Wales clenched his fists tightly. He was holding himself back from attacking Denis. He was right. He knew he didn’t have the right to love Mimi after what he did to her. He even felt that the heavens were playing with him when he found he had special feelings for her. He knew he didn’t deserve her but how could he stop himself? When he was already this deep into her?

”If you know what’s good you will stay away from Mimi Song. Don’t ever fall in love with anyone”

”What right do you have to tell me to do what you want? I might not be so proud of my actions but you don’t get the right to tell me who I should be with. I don’t owe you any explanation”

”Should I tell Mimi about it? Let’s see how she will react once she finds out that the man who is pursuing her is the same man who drugged her. All the love you gave her and what she feels about you will turn into hate” Denis finished saying and walked out of the changing room.

…

Wales saw everyone was present when he came to the starting point. He noticed Mimi looking at him but purposefully avoided her gaze and went to stand next to Sofia.

”Alright, now that all the teams are ready, we shall go over the rules once more. Each team is going to battle it out in a shooting race. The team that emerges as the winner will have a reward. It will not only be a monetary reward but also there are perks to it.

Once a member is shoot, he or she loses the chance to battle it out so be strategic. Okay, team red, yellow and blue, get ready”

Team red followed Wales to their hiding point. Mimi followed below, feeling a little down as she walked with her face downcast.

”Don’t worry, Detective Wales will not let anyone kill you that easily. You are his girlfriend after all” Sofia said to Mimi and Wales heard it but continued to act oblivious.

Once the race started, everyone began to aim for the opponent, taking each other down ferociously. Mimi who had acted as a police official before in one of her dramas was also contributing to their wins. Even though she was a little timid at the beginning, she seemed to have caught up with the rest of the team with her fast reflexes.

Wales turned after killing one opponent. He saw Denis from a distance, nearing towards Mimi from the back. Wales climbed two erected tires structures to get to Mimi. He wanted to save her from Denis. His protective instincts were high the moment he saw Denis trying to mess with Mimi.

When he got closer, Mimi was about to turn and he pulled her back, trapping her by the wall and closed in her, taking her by surprise.

Mimi opened her mouth to speak and Wales covered her lips with his hand and said softly, ”quiet! There is someone close by”

Mimi nodded her head and looked up to meet his gaze. She stared at him for a while. Her heartbeat quickened.

”Mimi, I don’t have the right. I know I am not supposed to do this. No, I know I shouldn’t be doing this but the more people see us not compatible, the more I want to prove them wrong”

”Huh?” Mimi looked at him with a confused expression.

”I know I shouldn’t make you misunderstand me, I can’t stay away from you. I’m sorry if I am scaring you but I…” Wales leaned closer and Mimi asked.

”Is this also a mistake?”

”No. The first one wasn’t, the second one was but now it isn’t” Wales leaned closer and was about to kiss her when he heard a firing sound and looked at Mimi. He turned to see Parker laying down after being shoot by Mimi.

”He… he was about to shoot you” Mimi said, blushing.

”Thank you” Wales said and saw Denis coming out behind Mimi’s back. He immediately shot Denis, taking him by surprise. Denis looked at them as he pretended to be dead.

”He was going to shoot you…” Wales said as he smiled at Mimi.

”Mm… thank you”

”Let’s go” Wales held Mimi’s hand when they heard the whistle blown for the end of the race. Their team had emerged as the winners.

As they walked towards their colleagues, they kept stealing glances at each other, making silly smiley expressions. They were just like every other person when they were in the presence of someone that they liked. Everything felt new and exciting.

Denis walked towards them and intentional nudged Wales with his shoulder as he passed by them. Wales looked at him and didn’t say anything.

The rest of the games for the day continued and they only had little time for breakfast and lunch. After they closed for the day, it was time for supper.

After taking her shower, Mimi searched in her bag and removed a neon dress and wore. It stopped at her knees. She picked her white and black sneakers and wore before leaving the room.

”You are really daring Miss Song” Denis said when Mimi came out of her room.

”If you have a problem with me just say it. Don’t go around in circles” Mimi said to Denis.

”Stay away from Wales. He is not the kind of person you should be messing with”

”What?”

”If you know what he did to you in the past, I doubt you would still like him. If you want to know, meet me here after supper” Denis stuffed a note into Mimi’s hand before walking away. The door across opened and Wales came out. When he saw Denis, he frowned and turned to Mimi.

”What did he want?”

”Nothing…” Mimi hid the paper in her pocket saying, ”let’s go”

”Let’s meet after supper. I have something to tell you” Wales said as he smiled from ear to ear.

”Mm, even I have something to tell you” Mimi said blushing. They kept stealing glances at each other while smiling as they walked to the canteen for their supper.

Love was definitely in the air!
