Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law - Chapter 178
”Dad, guess who I found outside the house?” Mimi said as she pushed Natalie to front after getting into the hall.
Shirley bowed when she entered and stood in front of Daniel Song. She turned to Natalie and spoke, ”we found Miss Jun outside the house when we arrived”
Daniel looked at Natalie. She looked tired and a bit haggard and unkempt. She seemed to have ran all the way there without a care. Her clothes and feet looked dirty.
”Where is my mother?” Natalie yelled at Daniel as she panted for breath.
”Hello to you too, Natalie” Daniel lifted a glass of wine and sipped as he spoke. ”You came at the right time. I was looking for someone to share a bottle of wine with. Now that you are here, let’s have a little chat over a bottle of wine”
”You seemed to have forgotten something Daniel, I didn’t come here because I wanted to. You asked me to come here. where is my mother?”
”Dad, do you have mom here? Why is Natalie asking you for mom?” Mimi asked with an innocent gaze.
”Shirley, take Mimi inside to rest. Did you get the money I asked you too?”
”Yes, dad, everything is inside this briefcase” Mimi pointed at the briefcase in Shirley’s hand.
”Remove a bundle for me. I need to pay some workers who was bringing goods over”
Shirley and Mimi exchanged worried gazes when Daniel asked for the money. They seemed to be hesitating.
”Mimi, the money” Daniel said again.
”Oo” Mimi took the briefcase from Shirley and opened it. It was filled with bundles of dollar bills. Mimi took out a bundle which was about ten thousand dollars and placed it on the table before closing it.
”I asked where is my mother?” Natalie hit the money on the floor when Daniel stretched his hand to take it.
Daniel smirked and looked at her. he stood up and asked, ”did you actually think that I would just hand her over to you once you are here? You are so naïve Natalie. Actually, I don’t need your mother. The person I want and need is you. without you, she is useless to me”
”What do you want from me?”
”Why don’t you take a wild guess? You have always been a smart girl, Natalie. Do you remember the day I came here looking for your father? You told me to not touch anything that wasn’t mine. But, the person I have always wanted wasn’t those things nor your mother. You… you were the one I wanted and the reason why I came to this house that time”
”What?”
”So, Natalie…” Daniel paused and turned to Mimi, ”why are you still here? Send her away from here”
”Dad, where is mom?”
”She is not your mother. Stop calling that woman your mother” Daniel yelled and Mimi stepped back.
Daniel’s phone started ringing and he frowned, ”who is that?” He turned and picked the phone on the table. He frowned. It was a new number.
”Hello”
”Do you remember me?” A voice asked.
”Who are you?”
”I have Haldon with me together with the five drivers. That is safe to say that… you won’t be getting your five truckload of equipment for your factory”
”What? Hey! Who are you? Do you know who I am? I will make you pay for messing with me”
”You messed with me first. Natalie is with you, right?”
Daniel turned to look at Natalie and smirked. ”Oh, I know who you are now. You are Mikael Sun, right? Do you think you can scare me? getting rid of someone like you isn’t a hassle to me. If you want to your wife to meet the same faith that your brother and father met, then keep messing with me”
”This is Thomas Sun. This was the confirmation that I needed. Turn on the TV. There is something going on, I think you will be interested in it”
Daniel looked around and saw the remote on the head of the TV. He hurriedly picked it and turned the TV on. Everyone in the hall turned to watch the TV.
”This is breaking news. Five truck drivers driving five heavy load trucks were caught by the DNIS at the border as they crossed the Yok township. Upon investigations, the trucks were all smuggled equipment and illegal ingredients that were banned by the City Governor because they had dangerous adverse effects on the human brain when used. Some of these ingredients were used in producing drugs.
The drivers confessed to have been hired by one Mr. Haldon who turned out to be the right hand man of Daniel Song…”
”Dad, what is this?” Mimi asked first.
”Did you see that?” Thomas asked over the phone, ”you were the one who messed with me first, Daniel Song”
”Thomas Sun, how dare you play smart with me? Have you forgotten so soon that I have Natalie here with me? I will make you pay for messing with me”
”It’s too late. You have failed in all your attempts already” Thomas said and the call ended.
Daniel yelled and threw the phone away. He walked to Natalie and held her neck, choking her as he spoke, ”you little bitch. How dare you play with me?”
‘Dad?” Mimi stepped forward and Daniel yelled at her. He removed a dagger from his pocket and pointed it at Natalie as he held her, securing her closer to himself.
”Don’t come near me. Get her out of here, Shirley” Daniel commanded.
Shirley looked at him and shifted her gaze to the five guards in the hall. They all removed their guns and pointed at Daniel.
”My apologies, but I don’t take orders from you Mr. Song” Shirley removed her gun and pointed it at him.
”What?” Daniel turned and looked at the five men who had pointed their guns at him. He laughed and turned Natalie’s back to his body and held her tighter.
”What is this? Did you all turn against me?”
”Dad, stop it already? You have lost, don’t you see you?”
”Mimi, are you with them? Did they convince you to stand with them?”
”You have done a lot of bad things already. Can’t you see that you are paying for the things that you did? Even I am paying for the things that I did. It’s over dad. Let Natalie go, please” Mimi’s eyes teared up as she spoke.
”Nobody should come closer or I will shoot Natalie”
”Daniel Song, you are already surrounded. There is no use fighting. Tell me where my mother is and I will let you go”
”On what grounds? I worked so hard to get to where I am now. I lost a lot of things and had to pay a heavy price for everything I have today. Do you think I will let it all go?”
The door opened and Mikael and Wales entered with the police. They had already rescued Solace so she was with them. When she entered and saw Natalie being held by Daniel she wanted to rush forward.
”Let my daughter go, you bastard” Solace spat.
”You even got her out of where I locked her. Way to go, Natalie”
”Daniel Song, I am Detective Wales. You are under arrest for the murder of Oswald Jun, three workers from your company and for causing the plane crash of Thomas Sun which resulted in the death of Mr. Sun”
”Dad, did you… did you really kill all those people? Dad, how could you?”
”Let Natalie go. Your crimes will only double as long as you keep her” Wales said.
Daniel pushed the knife deeper and looked at them, ”you started this first. I warned you not to bring anyone here but you broke the promise first”
”I never promised you anything. You simply assumed that I would listen to you and not bring anyone. This is the end of the road for you” Natalie spoke. A little blood dripped from her neck on to the knife.
”I will not go down alone. All of you are here for Natalie. Let’s see how you will feel once she and I both go down”
”Dad, don’t do anything rush. You don’t have to hurt Natalie”
”I don’t have to hurt her? Everything begun with her”
‘Are you blaming your greed on Natalie? You were the one who destroyed our lives and now you are blaming us? Let my daughter go”
Daniel looked at them and laughed. ”That’s right. the person I should go down with isn’t Natalie. It’s you. You are the one who has been plotting against me for so many years. You are the one I should go down to hades with”
Daniel pushed Natalie away and rushed towards Solace with the knife. Just when he was about to stab her with the knife, Mimi screamed.
”Mom, no!” she pushed Solace out of the way and jumped in. Her face turned pale as Daniel pushed the knife right into her body.
‘Mimi” Solace yelled.
”Die, you evil woman” Daniel said as he pulled out the knife, making the blood to spill out. When he looked again and came back to his senses, he realised he had stabbed his own daughter.
”Mi… Mimi” the police pulled him away.
”Mimi” Solace and Natalie held Mimi’s body.
”Mom, elder sister, I’m sorry. I regret hurting you and stealing everything from me. Mom, you said it was too late to ask for forgiveness but can you tell me it’s not too late?”
”Mimi, please…” Solace wept as she held Mimi’s body.
”Shirley, can you sustain her before the ambulance gets here?” Wales asked.
”Let me see”
