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.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
