Chapter 3 - A Doting Mother In Law

''Stop calling me elder sister. I am not your family member. The last time I checked you and I don't even share blood and you can have the dress, I lost interest the moment I saw you''

''Elder sister, do you have to be so cold towards me?'' Mimi Song asked as her tears fell down her face.

''Darling, is everything alright?'' Thomas Sun who was sitting at the corner quietly decided to stand up at that moment and walked over.

Seeing the man, they've only seen on TV most of the time standing in front of them, Mimi Song and her friends gasped.

''Is that Thomas Sun? He is so handsome'' one of the ladies whispered.

''What is going on here? Is everything alright?'' Thomas Sun asked again as he held Natalie Jun's hand.

''No, unfortunately, we have to leave this store because someone just spoilt my mood. Let's just go without gifts today. Mother and father in law will understand, right?'' Natalie Jun asked Thomas Sun.

''Off course. They wouldn't mind, you are their precious daughter in law after all''

''Brother in law, do you remember me. I am Mimi, I am elder sister's younger sister'' Mimi Song anxiously introduced herself. She didn't look like the one who had acted so innocently earlier on.

''Do you have a sister that I don't know about?'' Thomas Sun turned to ask Natalie Jun and Mimi's face distorted.

''No. I do not have any sister, let's go'' Natalie Jun answered as she looked at Mimi.

Mimi held Natalie Jun's hand and said, ''elder sister, please do visit home soon. Mom missed you and always worry about you''

''Hey, do you have a death wish?'' Natalie Jun screamed and Mimi retracted her hand immediately and stepped back.

Natalie Jun turned to the two friends of Mimi Song and asked, ''aren't you moving out of my way?'' The two girls moved back and Natalia went out with Thomas.

''Mimi, is that really your infamous elder sister, Natalia Jun?'' one of the girls asked and Mimi Song nodded her head.

''You're right. If only elder sister didn't choose the wrong path, mother won't have been so aggrieved?''

''She looks so scary'' the other girl added.

''Miss Song, you are welcome to our shop, how may I help you?'' the manager asked as she looked at them.

Inside Thomas Sun's car, Natalie Jun broke down in cold sweat as she body quivered.

''Here'' Thomas Sun peeled a boiled egg and handed it over to Natalie and she snatched it immediately and started eating it. Looking at her still getting anxiety disorder each time she met with anyone from the Song family, it broke his heart. In front of the world, Natalie Jun was brave but when it came to the Song family, all her strength came crumbling down.

''It's been so long. Does meeting that little witch still give you the creeps that much?'' Thomas Sun asked.

''You have no idea what that little witch made me go through that year. It's involuntary, I can't help getting anxiety attacks each time I have an encounter with her.

''Just give me your consent. I will make sure all she has is yours. I will destroy everything that they have''

''No, is still not the right time. I want to take my revenge against them on my own. Don't worry, I will let you know when it gets hard for me. Until they tell me where they hid my father's ashes, I can't touch them''

''Nat. I can let someone search for the urn for you''

''You won't find it. The last time I saw it was when they hid it in the secret room in their basement but it isn't there anymore. Tom, is alright. I'm fine. See? After eating the egg I'm back to normal'' Natalie Jun reassured Thomas Sun with a smile.

''I'm sending you back home. Let's visit my parents another time''

''No, let's go today. You're going to country V next two days. We might not be able to get the time again since you're going to be there for a month. Besides, your mother has been wanting to see me for some time now, I don't want us to disappoint her''

''Are you sure?''

''Yes, I'm fine. Let's go''

''Okay. send us to the family house'' Thomas rolled down the window and spoke to the driver who was standing outside the car.

SONG VILLA.

Mimi Song stormed into the villa angrily and started screaming as she ran into her room. The housekeeper and the maids followed suit but she locked them out of the door and they could only hear her throwing things around inside the room.

The butler walked to them after hearing the chaos and asked, ''what is wrong with the young Miss?''

''Butler, we do not know. The young Miss came home angry and went to her room. She has locked herself in the room since'' one of the maids answered.

''Maybe something didn't go her way. She always throws tantrums anytime something doesn't go her way''

''Quiet'' the butler said to the maid after seeing Mrs. Solace Song.

''What is going on here?'' Mrs. Solace Song asked as she looked at the door.

''It seems that the young Miss is not satisfied with something'' the butler said cautious.

''Alright, I will handle it, go'' Solace Song pushed open the door and frowned when she saw the mess Mimi Song had made.

''Why? Why is she so beautiful after everything I've done to destroy that face of hers?'' Mimi screamed again and pushed to the floor all her cosmetics on the vanity table

Solace Song stepped forward and picked up a necklace on the floor. She looked at Mimi Song and asked, ''what is wrong? Why are you throwing a tantrum this afternoon?''

''Mom'' Mimi sobbed as she hugged Solace Song.

''Is okay, stop crying and tell me what's wrong? How hurt you?''

''Mom, I'm sorry. I don't know what to do'' Mimi said as she wiped her tears.

''Is okay, tell me what happened?''

''Mom, I'm just sad. I saw elder sister today… she…''

''Didn't I tell you to stay away from that girl? Nothing good comes out of her?'' Solace frowned. She loathed that name so much.

''Still, she is my elder sister. I just wish that she will change and return home to mother. I see how worried you get sometimes just thinking about her''

''Don't be so kind towards that girl. I don't want to hear anything about her. You always try to make things right with her but she doesn't want that. All she knows how to do is to cause problem for me. Stay away from her''

''But…'' Mimi lowered her face revealing a triumphant smirk.

''No buts. Come down for tea and let the maids clean this up. You want what is good for her but, what about her? She only knows to think about herself''

''Yes, mom. I want to freshen up first''

''Do that and come down for lunch'' Solace Song said and went out.

Mimi Song's face changed and she smiled sinisterly. Her eyes turned cold with hatred. She turned to face the mirror and muttered.

''Natalie Jun, in this life, only one of us can survive. I will never allow you to rise from the place I left you''

….

SUN FAMILY MANSION.

Thomas Sun got down from the car and stretched forth his hand to help Natalie get down.

''You are welcome, young master and Miss Jun'' the butler of the house greeted them at the hall the moment they arrived.

''Thank you uncle, where are my parents?''

''Your mother is changing to come. Your father got a call and went to the company. What can I serve you?'' the butler asked.

''Will you drink anything, darling?'' Thomas Sun turned to asked Natalie Jun.

''No, thank you uncle''

''Look who we have here?'' a plump woman with average height wearing a long black dress walked down the stairs in confident steps towards them. ''You finally decided to come and visit this old woman?''

''I'm sorry for coming late. Blame Thomas Sun'' Natalie Jun said and hugged the woman back.

''I am totally blaming him. he hid a beautiful woman in his villa for so long. Sit down''

''Aunt, I'm sorry. I didn't even tell you about our marriage before''

''What are you talking about? You are like a daughter to me, do you know how happy I was when I saw the two of you on TV? I always knew you would end up marrying one of my sons''

''I feel left out. Mom, you can't steal my wife away like that'' Thomas Sun whined.

''She knew me before you two met. Before she became your wife, she was already my daughter''

''Yes, yes, Mrs. Regina Sun has spoken'' Thomas Sun said and they laughed.

''It would have been nice if that silly boy was here'' Mrs. Sun said and shook his head.
