Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 185
Advertisement
''I find it weird that you didn't recognise me considering the fact that I was involved in a scandal with your husband just last night. But… looking at you, I get why a lot of people say that we have so many things in common'' Susan said arrogantly. It was like she was trying to prove a point.
''I don't find you familiar because Mikael said you were not important to him. I tend to not remember irrelevant people, you know''
Susan's face distorted but she quickly recovered and let out a sarcastic laugh. ''Is that what Mikael really told you or is that what you want to make yourself believe? Natalie, I didn't know you were such a funny character. Did Mikael also tell you that I am his first love? Did he tell you I was the reason why he changed majors and decided to go into acting?''
''Miss Susan seem to have a lot of time to really want to waste them on me. But, I don't have such time'' Natalie turned to go and Susan asked.
''Are you sick? Don't tell me you came to the hospital after seeing those pictures last night? Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that were to be the case. Seeing your husband suddenly in the same picture with his ex can be shocking''
''Narcissist!'' Natalie turned and muttered.
''What?''
''Mikael told me he was indeed in love with you. He told me how he chased you around and followed you everywhere. You knew about his feelings for you and used that to take advantage of him. You knew he wanted to be with you but you intentionally played a push and pull game with him. You didn't want to be seen as someone who is going out with a younger man but you loved the thrilled of him chasing you so you kept him at arm's length. Not too close and not too far, you gave him just a little attention but that is to make him do whatever you wanted.
You thought that he would never leave you as long as you were ambiguous with him. When he confessed his feelings, you started playing chess with him. Going on a warm and cold mood with him. You didn't want to reject him because you feared that you will not find someone who liked you like he did but you didn't accept him either because you cared about you reputation. Someone like you who don't give love but want to receive love. You are the type of person who can't give love in reality because you don't even know what love is. You are so deep in you own feelings that you think everything must go the way you want it''

''The last time I checked, that was the exact behaviour of a narcissist''
''Hey!''
''Why? Are you angry that you feel like tearing me apart? That goes to prove that I am right. You are angry that you can't manipulate me. You were the one who sent Laura to my house. Your intention was to make me feel insecure so you would be able to play mind games with me. You wanted to drive me crazy and watch me hate on my husband so that I will nag him and make it impossible for him to be at peace in our home. When that happens, you will come in and play the role of an understanding senior''
''Hey! Who do you think you are?''
''I am Natalie Jun, the wife of the man you want to steal. Does being the other woman make you fulfilled?''
''Natalie…'' Mikael walked to them when he returned after his call. He held Natalie's hands and asked with a worried gaze, ''Natie, are you alright?''
''Mm, I'm fine. Susan and I met here by coincidence. She even apologised to me and explained things to me. She said she was looking for an opportunity to meet me so that I wouldn't misunderstand your relationship''
Mikael furrowed his brows and looked at Natalie. She maintained a bright smile as she held unto his hand. Mikael turned to face Susan.
''Susan, what are you doing in the hospital?'' Mikael asked.
''I came to visit someone here. What are you doing here?''
''We came to see the doctor…''
''Mr. and Mrs. Sun, the doctor is ready to see you'' a nurse came out of the consulting room and spoke to them.
Susan's gaze turned towards the consulting room and she asked, 'are you pregnant?''
''Mm, Mikael let's go'' Natalie walked away with Mikael leaving Susan in the hallway.
Susan looked at them and let out a frustrated chuckled. She harrumph and walked away.
….
Susan's apartment.
''What? She is even pregnant? That little bitch. Trying to play mind games with me'' Susan gulped down and cussed.
….
Natalie and Mikael's house.
''Big sister, brother in law, congratulations. This is the best news I've heard in the last few months. I am going to be an aunt soon'' Alice said and clacked her glass with Natalie's glass of juice.

''Nat, congratulations'' Xia joined in.
''Congratulations, Mikael, congratulations, Natalie'' Connor and Josh said simultaneously.
''Thank you, Josh''
''Thank you, Connor''
''Natalie, I am happy for you. I should give you a red pocket'' Thomas said and took out his phone.
''Why are you giving someone's wife a red pocket?'' Mikael asked and frowned.
''Hey! Before you became her husband, I was her friend, her very good friend''
''But, I am now her husband. This won't do. Natie, I am sending you a double of what he is going to give you'' Mikael removed his phone.
''Why are you fighting over red pockets? Give me a red pocket too'' Alice said and stretched her hands.
''You are not my wife''
''You are not pregnant''
Thomas and Mikael said at the same time leaving Alice speechless. Alice shook her head.
''The discrimination is too obvious. Too obvious''
''Aye, let them pamper Natalie. She deserves to be pampered'' Xia spoke.
''I can't stand this. I have a shoot this afternoon so I'm leaving first'' Alice said and stood up.
''I have a meeting with my team too'' Xia stood up with her.
''Let's gather around for the real celebrations later on. Xia, when will you make the schedule for my coming out in public?'' Thomas asked.
''Thomas, are you thinking of letting the world to know that you are alive?'' Natalie asked.
''Mm, my lawyer advised that we do that. The law can only take effect if I come out as alive and also as a witness and victim of what Daniel Song did''
''That bastard, just thinking about how he planned to destroy everyone of us makes me blood to boil'' Natalie muttered.
''I will get it ready by the end of this week. I've already contacted a lot of the reporters that we need to be there. I will let you know once we are able to secure the venue''
''You can do it at my hotel'' Connor suggested.
''This is something huge, it might have a negative impact on your hotel. It's not safe do it at your place'' Thomas spoke.
''My brother is right. You have already helped us so much. This might become something that will turn into a scandal. It won't be good for the image of your hotel'' Mikael added.
''I am working to secure a place at the studio, we will do the one on one interview there and then only invite the reporters when we are done. I got this covered, Connor'' Xia said with a smile.
''Alright, if you say so. Let's go, I will send you to the office'' Connor said and stood up.
''Thank you all for coming, let's meet and have fun later on'' Natalie said to all of them.
…..
Filming set.
Alice met Niania as soon as she walked into the villa they were using for the filming that day. Niania was holding a thick jacket and three cups of coffee in a coffee paper trolley.
''Alice, here. The air condition here is fully on, the place is very chilly'' Niania handed the jacket over to Alice and removed one of the cups, ''this is your cup of coffee with lots of caramel''
''Thank you, Niania'' Alice took the jacket and wore before taking the coffee to sip, ''mm, this is good''
Alice looked at Niania and suddenly asked, ''Niania, why do you look so beautiful this morning? Tell me, are you seeing someone lately? Why do I feel that you have suddenly glowing today?''
''I don't have a boyfriend, stop teasing me'' Niania said and her phone started buzzing. She gave an awkward laugh and dipped her hand inside her sweater jacket pocket.
''Answer it, but we are still going to talk about the boy you like. He better not be in this place because I can't accept someone else stealing your attention other than me and maybe if he is someone I like, fine!'' Alice said and turned, walking away.
Niania heaved a deep sigh of relief and hurried to Alice's dressing room to answer the call from Thomas.

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.

That Scottish Play
This is a very silly and cringey parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth. The play format will be kept consistent throughout. Unless you enjoy cringing so hard you experience physical pain, I'd suggest avoiding this work. However, as the level of cringe is only slightly less than that of the office, any fans of that show may enjoy this work. (I believe, as a parody, this work is protected from copyright by fair use, additionally, Shakespeare is in the public domain so it doesn't fall under copyright in the first place. If I'm wrong please let me know)
