Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 129
Advertisement
An hour ago.
After finishing his afternoon scenes, Mikael took the rest of the day off. He wanted to go and meet with Natalie and explain the photos situation. He didn't want her to misunderstand him. But, while on the way, he received a call from Thomas, asking for a meet up withq everyone else. He decided to surprise Natalie but who would have thought that he would be the one to be surprised when he got out of the car and saw Natalie being hugged by William in the reception while many other employees watched.
.....
Presently.
''There is no need to misunderstand him. After all, after each day's work, he comes home to sleep beside me'' Natalie said and walked proudly out of the elevator.
William's hands clutched into tight fists as he looked at Natalie. He slowly regained his composure and followed her out to the reception but his mood sullen further the moment he saw Mikael standing outside through the glass walling.
''Natalie'' William suddenly called making Natalie turned at once. She bumped right into his chest and he used both hands to pull her closer, hugging her.
Natalie looked the most confused. She couldn't react to the situation quick enough but the gasping of the people around her brought her back to her senses and she immediately pushed William aside and stepped back.
''You…'' Natalie looked at the people and shook her head. She turned to go and saw Mikael walking towards them. Everything became clear now. William had done that on purpose to spite Mikael.
Natalie shook her head at Mikael and tried to stop him but he surprisingly stopped in front of her and removed his handkerchief. He gently wiped her hands that touched William's shirt before he proceeded to cup her face with his two hands and in front of everyone, he kissed Natalie.
''Whoa!'
''Breaking news''
A lot of gasps escaped from the people's mouths as some started to take pictures of the moment.
William who was standing just behind them culled his hands into fists. His face was devoid of any colour. It was clear he was angry but also helpless.
Mikael finally let go and held Natalie's hand. He looked up at William and said to him, ''next time, I won't be so nice''
Natalie couldn't react until she found herself in the front seat of Mikael's car. He adjusted the seatbelt for her and kissed her forehead.

''A penny for your thoughts, Natie?'' Mikael asked and Natalie turned to look at him.
''What just happened in there?'' Natalie touched her lips and asked, ''Mikael, did you just kiss me in front of all those people? You are crazy, how could you do that? Now people are going to begin talking about us. You have a drama coming up, how could you do something like that?''
''Exactly, Natie. How could you allow another man to hug you so easily?''
''That… that was an accident. Wait! What about you? You were cosying up with that writer and totally forgot that you had a wife at home? Do you know how I felt, seeing you been so close to another woman?''
''Those photos were photoshopped. I was with her in the van but I didn't get close to her. I didn't even touch the food she brought''
''She even prepared a meal for you?'' Natalie became even angrier.
Mikael started the car and remained quiet.
''Why are you not saying anything? So your friendship is so advanced to the stage that she can even prepare a meal at home and bring it to you? Oh, Natalie, what were you thinking? To think that I was planning to go grocery shopping and prepare a meal for you''
''You were going to prepare a meal for me?''
''That is not the issue, Mikael. That writer prepared a meal in her house and brought it to you at the site and you two ate it''
''I said I didn't even eat it, Natie. Those are two different things''
''No, they are not. How can she even prepare a meal for you? What kind of relationship do you have with her that she can prepare a meal for you?''
The banter between them went on until they arrived at the family house. Natalie got down from the car hurriedly and Mikael also did and stopped her at the door.
''Natie, Laura planned this whole thing and I already warned her''
''You warned her? But this is not the first time she has shown interest in you. I still remember the day I went to her apartment with William. She was going on about how close you two were back at Country M and how you would often sleep at her place. You would often help her with her script, make the necessary corrections with her until midnight and when you are tired, you would sleep at her place. Whoa! This just makes me even mad the more I talk about it''

''Then, don't talk about it. That was all in the past and some of what she told you never happened. She just said that to get a reaction from you. This was what she was hoping to achieve and you are letting her have it''
''Are you saying I am overreacting and making up all these scenarios in my head?''
Thomas, Xia, Alice and Connor heard the voices and went to the door. They saw them and exchanged gazes before focusing on them.
'What is going on right now?'' Xia asked.
''Those photos Laura posted. You were busy in Cok Town, that's why you didn't see them. Last time, Laura posted photos of herself with Mikael inside his van. My sister was so angry, she almost went over to pull out all the hair on Laura's head. I managed to stop her but you know Natalie. She doesn't get angry easily…''
''But, once she does, there is no end to it'' Thomas completed the sentence for Alice.
''That's true. I think we should stop them. Mikael would never win this fight'' Xia said.
''Why?'' Connor asked.
''Because this is Natalie we are talking about. Once she is angry, she would go on and on and then twist your words and drive you crazy'' Xia answered.
''If I were Mikael, I would simply apologise and end it there'' Alice added and folded her arms as they watched the two people who were still arguing.
''Natie, I need you to listen to me. Laura and I have been friends for many years, no matter what I can't just throw her away''
''Oh, so I am easy to throw away, right? Great! Just wonderful. Everyone, you heard that right? He would rather throw me away than leave his ''best friend''
Mikael tussled his hair, feeling frustrated. ''I didn't say that''
''Oh, you are calling me a liar, then?''
''No, I did not''
''Then, what is this about? Do you think that I am being a nagging wife, right now?''
''When did I call you a nagging wife?''
''You did''
''Huh?''
''You did… with the way you are looking at me. I bet you are saying in your head that, ''oh, I am so sick of this woman. How did I not know that she was an insecure maniac', that is what is going on in your head''
''Natie, please…'' Mikael was about to speak when his phone started ringing, he took it from his pocket and looked at it.
Natalie chuckled when she saw the caller ID. She snatched the phone from Mikael and put it on loudspeaker before asking Mikael.
''Choose, right now!''
''Choose what?''
''Between the woman on the line and me. choose right now''
''Whoa! I didn't know Natalie could be so daring?'' Connor said.
''Did I not add this? Once she feels threatened, she would give you an ultimatum'' Thomas said.
Mikael looked at her with a calm expression. He smiled and stepped closer to her. He was aware of what she did but he didn't mind, this was bound to happen sooner or later.
''Choose right now, Mikael'' Natalie said again.
''I can't choose, Natie''
''What?'' Natalie looked at him with an ugly expression. The others' expression also changed.
''I can't choose because in this world, there is only one woman for me and that is Natalie Jun. I don't even see other women as women. I see them as just people that I am working with'' Mikael said.
When they heard his confession, everyone gradually relaxed.
Natalie lifted the phone and said to Laura, ''did you hear that, Miss Writer? My husband will never see you as a woman so stop trying to get him into a mess''
Natalie hugged up and handed the phone over to Mikael. Mikael took the phone and kept it in his pocket.
''Now, can we also talk about your boss hugging you in front of me?'' Mikael asked and Natalie flushed.
''That… I already told you that was a mistake''
''William hugged you, elder sister?'' Alice came forward and asked.
''He caught me unaware. Mikael, you saw it too. William…''
''William?'' Mikael lifted his brows questionably.
''No, the CEO. I won't call him by his name again'' Natalie touched Mikael's shirt, acting coquettish, ''and I promise never to get angry with you again. I cross my heart''
''If you are done feeding us with dog food, shall we go in and have an actual discussion now?'' Thomas asked.
''Discussion?'' Natalie asked.
''Yes, let's go in'' Mikael held her hand and they went in together.

-Book One Synposis- Vorlanys. A realm created by the angels for mortals. For millennia, many angels have lived amongst the mortals, aiding the mortals in their advancement. The High Angel Forynda has only tolerated this, however. She is concerned that ultimately the flaws of both angels and mortals would combine to create a cataclysm that would shatter both Vorlanys and the angels' home realm of Ceuna. Tragedies, unforeseen by any mortal or angel, set in motion that long-feared calamity and hurtle both worlds toward an irrevocable conflagration. Neither will ever be the same. Follow the lives of multiple characters, from lowly inhabitants of minor villages to the angels of Ceuna themselves, as they experience this approaching doom. *** -Book Two Synopsis- Ceuna has divided. Angels and mortals have taken their sides in a war for the fate of Vorlanys. Forynda, the High Angel and ruler of Ceuna, intends to end the entire struggle in a swift and decisive stroke with her awesome power. Meanwhile, the dissident angels, led by Omonrel, and their mortal allies cling to a thin hope that fate will break in their favor. All hopes for a quick end to the conflict will soon be dashed, however, to the detriment of all sides. The war for Vorlanys will take on a frightening new turn while mortals and angels alike discover previously unknown truths about their reality. ~~~ Some additional comments for readers: This is a project with a very ambitious arc encompassing a huge number of characters over a long period of time. If you are looking for a tight focus on just a handful of characters, that's not this story. It is meant to provide a broad series of perspectives on an absolutely calamitous world-shaping war. Thanks for reading and be sure to leave comments, ratings, and reviews at your convenience. I love hearing from you.
