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''

Arnar the Dungeon
Arnar is a dungeon core. Everybody knows dungeons are evil, man-eating entities hell-bent on killing and absorbing whatever wanders inside their depths. The problem is no one ever told him that. Well, the truth is no one ever told him anything and he refused powers-that-be when they tried to make him into the proper dungeon. That should teach them not resurrect people into dungeon cores. Now it is too late. He has a perfect plan to become the best dungeon on the continent and nothing will stand in his way. Especially something called common sense. Disclaimer of sorts: I am non-native English writer that used to write mostly for himself. After my last computer decided to die on me taking all my works with it I lost the desire to write for quite a long time. This is my attempt to go find motivation to write again as this was my favourite hobby. The idea is to be held accountable. As for being non-native, I don't believe that should be a major issue as I feel my proficiency in English to be sufficient enough to not be too much of the distraction. That said, be forewarned that the rules governing punctuation are beyond my grasp. All I can do is try not to completely suck at that. As mentioned this is an attempt to motivate me to write again so any message, encouragement or constructive criticism will go long way. The cover was created with the help of http://fantasynamegenerators.com/emblem-creator.php I hope you will enjoy my story.

The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman

Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters.

The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi.
