Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 28
Advertisement
Alice was walking out of the pub with Mikael when her phone started ringing. She took it out of her pulse and smiled as she answered, ''hello big sister. I'm fine...''
''Did you see the news?''
''Yes, I saw the news and it took everything in me to not go and tear that bitch apart. How are you feeling? You must be hurt seeing all the negative things about yourself''
''I'm fine. I just called to make sure you did not run over to Mimi's place to create a scene''
''It's too late. I almost did but someone stopped me just in time''
''That's good. Is no use going to her right now, it will only complicate things? Take care of yourself and return in good shape''
''Yes, big sis. You too, take care of yourself bye'' Alice hung up and noticed Mikael staring at her and she asked, ''why are you looking at me like that?''
''Was that Natalie?''
''Yes, she told me not to run to Mimi's room''
''Even your sister is smarter than you''
''Get lost'' Alice said and walked away.
...
Second site of filming.
A coded uncompleted building.
Alice browed through her tablet, reading through the comments being made about her sister. She turned to Niania who was organising her makeup bag and asked, 'Niania, did you do what I asked you to?''
''Yes, Alice''
''No one saw you, right?''
''Don't worry, no one saw me. You can see everything she does from your iPad. Alex installed the software for me this morning''
''Okay. Good girl, I will give you a bonus when we reach City M'' Alice said as she smirked.
....
Early that morning, after deciding to work with Mikael in teaching Mimi a lesson, they had sent their two assistants to go into Mimi's erected hut and installed a hidden camera inside her favourite flower vase containing a hibiscus plant that Mimi fancied carrying around.
Alice saw Mimi entering her hut. She looked happy and seemed to be in a good mood. Alice quickly picked up her set of Bluetooth device which was connected to the hidden camera and started to listen in on Mimi's conversation.
Inside the hut, Mimi sat down and said into her phone, ''make sure you bring it just after the shooting. I want the best desserts from your restaurant and make sure you use the best beans for the coffee, for 30 people'' Mimi hung up and turned to her assistant, 'Ailee, did you give Dum her water and nutrients today?''

''Yes, I watered it before bringing it out'' Ailee said as she turned to the flower. The flower was more expensive and received more attention than anyone else in Mimi's life.
''Wire the money to the restaurant for the brunch delivery''
''Yes, Miss. Miss is so kind, in this hot weather, you are looking out for everyone by providing brunch. Everyone is going to be happy when they see that you care about their health and wellbeing''
''I'm in a good mood this morning after what happened yesterday. Too bad I'm not in City M to see how Natalie is faring. She must be wallowing in self-pity, curled up in her home and afraid to leave because of the reporters and netizens that will be waiting''
Alice's tent.
Alice clutched her fist as she listened to their conversation. She turned to Niania and smiled as she spoke ''Niania, is time for some fun. Take my card and order packed lunch for everyone at the Lucky-Day inn''
Niania frowned, ''Alice, their food is ridiculously expensive''
''But, delicious, right? Are you afraid I might not be able to afford it?''
''That's not what I mean'' Niania was simply worried that her Miss would allow the words of Mimi to affect her a lot.
''Niania, I know you're worried about your bonus, but, you don't need to. When you're dealing with people like Mimi, you have to be extra merciless to make it more painful''
''Okay. I will place the order immediately for 30 staff.
''Wait, make it buffet. We shouldn't be greedy with food, right?''
''That woman is so scary. I can just imagine her face right now''
''Niania, does she look scarier than I am?''
''No, of course not''
''Good. Now, off you go'' Alice handed the card over to Niania.
....
City M
Crazy boys' casino.
Kim stood by her car waiting at the car park of the famous casino. She looked at her wrist watch and saw Lee Felicia pulled over in her car. Lee Felicia looked around suspiciously and before getting down from her car.
''Lee Felicia, right?'' Xia walked towards the woman who didn't look so pleased to see her.
''Who are you and what can I do for you?''
''I'm Kim Xia from Today's Storyline'' Xia introduced herself as she took noticed of all the subtle changes on the woman. She saw fear in Lee Felicia's eyes before the latter masked it up with a smile as she asked.

''Today's Storyline, what do you want?''
''You wrote a story about Natalie Jun''
Lee Felicia smiled brushed her hair backwards as she replied, ''I only wrote what I saw. Do you have a problem with that?''
''Really? Then, should I also write I've seen?''
''What are you talking about? What did you see?''
''You work at the host bar at night, servicing rich old men. People will go crazy over that piece of information, especially your parents who think that you are such a decent daughter''
Lee Felicia glared at Xia and asked, ''what do you want?''
''I want you to correct the wrong article you wrote about Natalie Jun and confess that you were bribed into defaming her. Oh, did I tell you she is my best friend?''
''Nobody bribed me to write anything about Natalie Jun. if she is guilty because she has been caught, then she should just come out already and not hide behind you to threaten me. You are threatening me and I find that offensive and unpleasant''
''You want to see what a real threat is? 24 hours. If you don't change the article then, you will see what a real threat looks like. Let me just add this, whether you correct the article and apologise to my friend or not, the world will still hear about you tomorrow. Tell Mimi she is next on my target list. I am merciless when dealing with my enemies. You will soon find that out'' Kim Xia put back her sun glasses and stuffed her one hand inside her black chevron pants and her other hand holding her blue purse, she walked elegantly back to her car and drove away while Lee Felicia watched.
After Kim Xia's car was gone out of sight, Lee Felicia took out her phone and hurriedly made a call.
...
Ailee followed the delivery guy from the outside into the filming sight just on time after the shooting finished. She stood in front of everyone and spoke proudly, ''Miss Mimi Song bought desserts and coffee for everyone to drink and gain strengths from it''
The crew and supporting actors and actresses all started clapping their hands excitedly. They started singing praises of Mimi Song and she nodded politely before turning away to answer her phone call.
''What is it? Don't you know that I am currently busy?'' Mimi said harshly into the phone but her face turned green as she lowered her voice and asked, ''what? How dare she threaten you? Okay, ignore her. I will let someone monitor the internet. Whatever she posts will be deleted immediately. Don't worry''
Mimi hung up and returned to the people, enjoying the praises that she was receiving. She looked satisfied and happy as she spoke, ''the weather has taken a sudden change and the whole place is hot, I want everyone to feel refreshed and gain strength from drinking''
Mimi turned to look at Alice who was standing not so far away and smiled as she took a cup of coffee from the delivery boy and walked to Alice.
''Alice, I bought enough for everyone, you should drink since you will be up next''
Alice looked at her and started counting, ''9, 8, 7, 6, 5…''
''Oh, what are you counting? Are you sick?'' Mimi mocked.
''4, 3, 2, 1 and poooow'' Alice looked at Mimi and smiled eerily sending chills down Mimi's spine. Suddenly, everyone gasped as a delivery truth pulled over and three waiters got down together with Niania.
Mimi frowned as she looked at the delivery truck from the famous restaurant. she had wanted to order from there but was told they were out of stock for her request. She chuckled and turned to Alice, ''that truck didn't come from you, right?''
Alice raised her brows at Mimi and smiled before walking away towards the tables and chairs that were been arranged, she went to Director Zou and said to him, ''Director Zou, you didn't rest since we came and started filming. The crew have been working hard and the actors too must be tired. This is a little love I want to share with everyone. The weather is already draining all our energy, we should take a rest and gain strength from the meal''

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
