Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law

Chapter 116 - Finding Out He Was Never Dead

''Call Mikael, quick. Find out how Natalie is doing?'' Mrs. Regina said to Thomas who was reading something from his phone.

''I already called him. He is on his way'' Thomas heard the sound of the car and stood up, ''he is here. I'm going out with him for a drive. Mom, we will join you for dinner later on''

''It would be great if Natalie could join us''

''Mom, Natalie cannot know about my existence right now. You know how inquisitive she gets when she suspects something. That will be putting her in danger'' Thomas said and picked his blazer, going of the house.

''Elder brother''

''Mikael, you are here. How is Natalie? I was worried about her'' Thomas said as he met Mikael outside the house.

Natalie's body grew cold when she recognised the voice. She stepped out of the flowers blocking her. She wanted to fully see the owner of the voice. When she finally saw the two of them, the bag in her hand fell, making the two people turn to look at her.

Both Thomas and Mikael had a look of shock on their faces the moment they saw her.

''Natie''

''Nat''

Natalie stepped back in shock. ''You… Thom…'' she gasped and picked the bag from the floor and ran out of the house.

''Nat'' Thomas ran out of the house first and Mikael took a while before he could react. By the time they could get to her, she had already gotten into a taxi and left.

''Natie…''

''Bring the car, Mikael. We can't leave her in that state'' Thomas shouted at Mikael who still looked pretty shocked. He had no idea that Natalie would follow him secretly.



''Alice, where are you?'' Natalie asked Alice as she sat nervously in the taxi.

''Me? I'm grocery shopping with Josh. Why?'' Alice asked as she turned to look at Josh who was picking a few things into the carte.

''I need a place to stay. I'm going over to your house''

''Elder sister, what's wrong? Your voice sounds weird''

''I can't talk on the phone. Let's meet at the house first'' Natalie hung up and turned off her phone when she saw the incoming call from Mikael.

….

''Alice, what's wrong?'' Josh asked when he noticed Alice had gotten quiet after the call.

''That was my sister. I think something is wrong. Josh, I have to go, she is going over to my place''

''You look anxious, let's go. I will take you home''

''Oh, let me call Xia. We stay close to each other, she can go and check on her before we arrive'' Alice walked away with Josh as she made the call to Xia.

''Hello, Xia Xia, where are you?''

''I am on my way to take some festive season photos. Why do you ask?''

''I think something happened with my sister. She called and said she was going over to my place, but her voice sounded a little…''

''I haven't left the area, I will go and find her'' Xia said and turned to look at Connor. He smiled and turned the car at once. Xia hung up and apologised.

''I'm sorry, something came up with my best friend''

''No worries. We can still go another time. Just let me know when, I will be your driver''

''My car will be repaired by tomorrow'' Xia said and Connor nodded his head. he looked pretty down. ''But, if you think you can make time for it, then I will call you. You can hold my camera for me''

''Yes, I will do that for you'' Connor said and subconsciously reached forward and played with her hair. He stopped, realising his act looked a little intimate. ''I'm sorry''

''It's alright''

….

Natalie arrived at the house and nervously tried to put in the password but because her mind was disorganised, she found it difficult to get the password right. After a few attempts, she ended up jamming the door up.

''Why can't this open? Damn it'' she cussed.

''Natie''

''Natalie''

Mikael and Thomas arrived and got out of their car and walked towards her.

''Don't come near me, liars'' Natalie said to them. The brothers stopped in their strides and looked at her.

'Natalie, let me explain myself'' Thomas said.

''I said don't come near me'' Natalie screamed at him.

''Natalie, what's… oh…'' Xia got down from the car and almost fell down when she saw Thomas. Connor immediately held her and steadied her.

''Are you alright?'' Connor asked Xia before looking at Thomas and asked, ''turns out the one I saw that night was really you?'' he raised his brows questionably at Thomas.

''Thomas, is this really you?'' Xia asked and went closer to touch his face, ''whoa, this is almost unbelievable. How is this even possible? We all thought you were dead''

''Natalie, please give me a chance to explain'' Thomas said to Natalie whose hand was still on the door.

''Natie, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. There is a reason for it''

Natalie looked at Mikael and shook her head, ''you are my husband... Mikael, how could you do this to me?'' Natalie asked. She still looked shocked and confused.

''Elder sister…'' Alice stopped and looked at Thomas, ''what is this? am I hallucinating right now? This is not my brother in law, right?'' Alice looked at Thomas and turned to her sister, ''I just felt goosebumps run through my body. Elder sister… is that really?'' Alice walked over to Natalie.

''Open the door with the key. I jammed it up trying to figure the password out'' Natalie said to Alice. She seemed a lot calmer now.

''But, brother in law is here… you must be tired, let's go in and get you something to drink'' Alice changed her statement almost immediately.

''Natie…'' Mikael called out softly and Natalie turned to look at him.

''What do you want to tell me? the truth or the lies? If it is the lies, you can leave. if it is the truth, then come in'' Natalie said and entered the house.

''Whoa, my sister just sounded so cool. Well, since you are all here, might as well come in'' Alice said and stepped aside to allow them go inside.

Thomas walked in first followed by Mikael, and the Cobbs brothers. Alice closed the door immediately, blocking Xia.

''Why didn't I know about such a progress, Kim Xia? You were going on a date with Connor''

''What date? We just met by coincidence and he offered to give me a ride. My car is still at the repairs so I agreed. Can we go now?''

''Wait, Xia. What will happen now? My sister didn't divorce Thomas and married Mikael. Is she going to have two husbands now? What about me? I like both of them''

''You still have time to joke?'' Xia shook her head and pushed Alice aside before going in. Alice scratched her hair and furrowed her brows.

At the hall, Josh and Connor were seated along with Xia and Alice. They watched the situation at the dining hall with curious gazes.

''Did you know already that Thomas was alive?'' Josh asked Connor.

''I just had a premonition. Thomas couldn't have died in that plane crash. I just had that thought and it was confirmed at the inauguration night'' Connor replied.

''How is this even possible? It's been almost 11 months. Where was he for the past 11 months?'' Xia looked at the situation.

''My sister is one hell of a strong woman. I thought she would be freaking out but she is handling it pretty well''



Natalie sat across the two brothers. She looked at them and asked, ''who is speaking first?''

''Someone tempered with my jet causing the accident to happen. By the time we realised what was happening, it was too late. My father saved me but couldn't get out of the jet before it blasted. Someone found me and sent me to a private home and treated me. I didn't intend to keep the truth from you but I didn't want to put you in danger''

''Let me ask you something. You were the one who saved from when Mimi tried to kidnap me, right?''

''Yes, I was the one''

''Natie…'' Mikael looked at her.

''Tell me, what do you have to say?''

''I asked Mikael not to tell you anything. It is not his fault. he just did what I asked him to do''

''This feels so weird. Let's join the rest. I need time to get used to this''

''Nothing is going to change between us, Natalie. I already promised that I won't disorganise your life and that is what I am going to do. until I get enough evidence about the person who wants me dead''

''For that I need Connor's help'' Thomas said and the people in the hall heard him.

''What do you need me for?'' Connor asked back.

''Intel on Daniel Song. No matter how I dug into him, I couldn't find anything on him''

''Daniel Song. Is he involved in this?'' Natalie asked.

''Yes, he is the one who tempered with my jet''
