Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law - Chapter 147

Sun family house.

Thomas got out of the car and entered the house. It was the early hours of the evening when he returned from Cok town. When he got to the hall he saw Mikael chatting with their mother.

”Brother” Mikael stood up when he saw Thomas.

”Thomas, you are finally back” Mrs. Regina also stood up.

”Mom, Mikael” Thomas kissed his mother’s cheeks before turning to Mikael, ”let’s talk in my room”

”Mm, mom, we will be done for dinner later. Don’t wait up”

”Alright, go and do your own things” Mrs. Regina watched them as they went to Thomas’s room.

Thomas turned on his laptop immediately they entered his room and shut the door. He removed a memory drive from his pocket and inserted it into the laptop.

”What is this?” Mikael asked.

”Watch this carefully. You will know why I asked you not to act rashly or you will end up putting Natalie in more danger” Thomas removed his clothes and went in to take his bath.

Mikael pulled the chair out and sat across the table. He watched the video carefully. This was the video recording of Haldon’s confession.

”The man behind me is indeed Daniel Song” Haldon started.

”But, you people don’t know how dangerous he is. I am doing this because you promised to keep my family safe.

”It all started five years ago. I was a gambler and had a lot of debt on me. Apart from fishing, there was nothing else I could do in Cok town. He was the one who approached me. He said he needed me for a secret mission. He already paid a large sum of money into my bank account.

”It was supposed to be a simple kidnapping, but later on he asked us to send her to a laboratory. I still don’t know where that is because the outfit we wore made us colour blind. We only saw walls and big equipment. There was nothing more to it”

”After kidnapping the lady, he started to trust us. Whenever he had goods coming into the city, he would tell us to bring it in through the sea. We would then cover it up with vegetables and get past the XRO officials. We send the trucks full of goods to his company, but then they are taken somewhere else. I don’t know where they are sent.

”Everyone who has worked with him knows that one wrong move and you are dead. He doesn’t allow for any mistakes and takes his work seriously. A few days ago, he killed one of my men who almost got caught by a nosy reporter. He asked us to hold on with the transportation because he wanted to deal with that reporter.

”I heard she is quite a big shot in the city. Her name was Miss Kim. He was supposed to do it yesterday but he suddenly asked us to stop and said she turned out to be the girlfriend of a business partner and that it was dangerous to get rid of her so soon. He said he would personally take care of her.

Mikael paused the video and turned to look at Thomas who had just walked out of the bathroom in his bathrobe.

”He even wanted to get rid of Xia?”

‘After we found Natalie five years ago, Xia had never stopped searching for the truth. She was getting closer to it and posed as a threat to him. She was getting closer to the truth about what happened that year”

”But, we still don’t know the exact reason why he needs Natalie or why he took her away for a whole year. We don’t even know what Natalie went through in that monster’s hands. Natalie is suffering and going through a lot because of that man but it seems that is not the end.

”Brother, why do I feel that there is a special reason for which he is obsessed over Natalie that we don’t know about? He locked her up in a laboratory for a whole year but for what reason? Why does he need Natalie? What is he planning? We need answers to all of these questions”

”You are right. That is why I went to Natalie’s house in City Y before coming here”

”You went to Natalie’s former home?”

‘Mm. She gave me the keys to that place. I went there to check if there is something. I’ve been having a weird feeling lately so I decided to visit there”

”Did you find something? What did you find there, brother?”

”Daniel Song, Oswald Jun and Solace Ash have a connection. I still don’t know what the truth is but it seems those three were in some kind of business together. The price was your wife” Thomas sat down and smirked.

”What?”

”Oswald is already dead but Solace and Daniel are still alive. Daniel will not tell us but Solace would, maybe”

”We just need to get the testimony of Solace and we will be able to get Daniel Song behind bars”

”It is not that simply, little brother. If the law was working, Daniel would have been in prison by now. Every month, at least two or more researchers die in the Song Pharmaceutical factory. All investigations lead to a dead end. Why? because he knows everyone there is to know. He has people who clean after him so well. There is no real evidence pointing out why those people died. It is either they died from their own bad habits or were involved in mysterious accidents.

”Daniel Song isn’t the kind of enemy you will meet on the roadside, little brother. You can’t deal with him with simple methods. He isn’t just the root of evil. He is the evil himself. This kind of person, you can’t fight him even with a gun. He is smart, very smart. Before you even think about something, he had thought about it already”

”Then, we deal with him using his own methods” Mikael spoke.

”That’s right. We deal with him using his own methods. We are finally speaking the same language, Mikael”

”Where is the man in the video?”

”He… he is gone back to do his work as Daniel’s reliable aide”

”Is he trustworthy?”

”If he was trustworthy he wouldn’t have spilt the beans after a few torturing but… I already have a plan. He won’t be able to say anything to Daniel Song even if he wanted to”

”You seemed to have handled it already”

”Not everything. I need you to get Mimi Song a role in the dram aunt is writing”

”You want me to get Mimi Song a role in ‘Inayah’s Kismet’, brother, are you not afraid that she will make things worse?”

”Daniel Song cherishes his daughter so much. He acts like a helpless father in public but behind the scenes he is a devil. We can use his daughter to bring him out. Aunt is a perfectionist. Do you think she will tolerate any kind of clumsiness on the set? Mimi Song is known for making unrealistic demand on set and one more interesting fun fact. She has a secret crush on Sebastian Bassey. We can use that to our advantage”

”Alright. Let’s do it that way. I will personally visit aunt tomorrow to discuss it with her. But, elder brother I saw something interesting in a different file. Are you stalking Niania? You have a lot of pictures of her in this file” Mikael turned and opened the file in the laptop.

”Go and take care of your wife” Thomas stood up and closed the laptop.

”I am just making sure she is safe. The neighbourhood is full of shameless perverts”

”I wonder who is the leader of those shameless perverts” Mikael teased.

Thomas opened the door and pushed Mikael out of the room and shut the door.

”Brother, remember to not act rashly and scare her. She is different from us after all”

”Mind your own business” Thomas said behind the door. Mikael chuckled and walked away.

Thomas unscrewed a bottle of water on the table and sat down. He sipped a little before opening the laptop. He started to look at the different pictures of Niania. He had a subtle smile on his face and his gaze seemed warm and gentle.

….

Unknown location.

Mikael got down from the car and a group of men bowed down before him.

”Welcome boss” they said simultaneously. Mikael nodded his head and walked into the building. When he got inside, he sat across a man who was clothed in exquisite jewellery.

”What brings the Prince to my humble harbour? It has been 5 years since you left this place and void never to come back. Why are you here? Has your acting career become boring? Wait! I heard what happened to your little wife. As my disciple, I am disappointed. How could you not protect your own wife and allowed her to be bullied to such a state?” the man looked at Mikael and chuckled.

”You still talk a lot” Mikael picked the meat on the plate and started shewing”

”Besides accepting orders, these people have no use. It has been a while since I had a hearty chat with someone. But, I know you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t need anything. Tell me, what do you want this old man to do for you?”
