Chereads / His Stubbornly Bitter Vengeful Wife / Chapter 14 - ۞ XIII ۞

Chapter 14 - ۞ XIII ۞

"WELL, CORNEL IS A ROMPICOGLIONI! HE'S THE MOST ANNOYING out of all Scarlats. Even more than Nina," she rolled her eyes. "Your intuition is right not to enjoy him just with what you got. He's a jerk."

"She had a crush on him," Kevin exclaimed.

Chiara made a disgusted face and glared at Khloe, "Ew. He's not even that hot. Thank God that crush passed."

"I was a kid," she gasped embarrassed.

"A kid with a terrible taste, I see," Chiara scoffed. "Well, the extra notes on Cornel are short. He speaks English, Romanian, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, and Mandarin. Only read sci-fi fiction and his favorite writers are Frank Herbert and Isaac Asimov. He's boring and only listens to classical music, thus his favorite musician is Beethoven, very cliché. Cornel also knows how to cook Romanian and Indian food, nothing else, though. His favorite color is surprisingly pink. Last but not least, he is terrible at using internet, and because of that, he only uses Snapchat to talk with the people he needs to. His girlfriend is the one who administrate his Instagram and Facebook."

"He and Florentina are the only introverts our of the 3rd generation," Millie rolled her shoulders. "Makes sense that he doesn't use them. He cares for his private life a lot."

Now, Damian. They were all slightly anxious to see how she would talk about him, since they would be marrying in less than half a year. Although she has zero idea of that.

Chiara held the last folder, looking at it for a second longer. This one is the hottest in the entire Scarlat famiglia, it's a pity that he's a narcissist bastard and went through all that shit. Licking her lips, she held it up, "Last one. Damian Vlad Scarlat, the firstborn son of Madalina and Nicolae, and the heir of their Empire. Will turn 21 years old in November 5th. Sun in Scorpio, rising in Aries, and moon in Libra," similar to mine, but in a different order. "Born and raised in London, where he still lives in Mayfair with his family. As the oldest of the five, Damian is extremely protective of all his youngest siblings," I can totally relate with that. "Especially the girls."

"As an older brother, I can understand that," Kevin added.

Ignoring her cousin's words, she kept going, "Like his siblings, in hockey, he is a Sheffield Steelers fan; in football, a Manchester United fan; and in basketball, he's a London Lions fan. Ironic, sarcastic, and extroverted, having an ENTP personality. A good speaker, witty, argumentative, extremely competitive, confident, enthusiastic, bold, calculating, dominant, and daring. I found many things that would suit this guy, and those are the ones who seem to summarize him the best. Plus arrogant, narcissistic, egoistic, individualistic, and a psycho who has a superiority complex!" I hate to say it, but a bit like me.

Hah, that doesn't sound good. They all shared a subtle gaze.

"Like his brother, he's a antagonistic type of narcissist, who is more focused on competition and rivalry, rather than the other traits more kin to Grandiose or Malignant Narcissism. That goes with his argumentative side and the arrogance and stubbornness of never backing away until he's the winner and the opposite side the loser," which low key reminds me of papa, since he was also that petty. Except with mama, because she humbled him up. "Damian has also other mental illness, such as reactive depression, PTSD, pure-O OCD, night terrors, insomnia, sleep paralysis, sleep walking, RLS, and predominantly impulsive and hyperactive ADHD."

Damian has all of that stuff? Millie gasped.

"What's reactive depression?" Khloe frowned. "And pure-O OCD? I also don't know what RLS means."

I'm not surprised, stronza raggaza. "The leading criterion for reactive depression is stress resulting from external circumstances. In his case, it was the result of his the PTSD he began to have after his ex-girlfriend died when he was 17. It's not as intense as the depression you know of, but many symptoms are mirrored by those of the Major Depression Disorder. Such as emotional changes like sadness and irritability; apathy and listlessness; withdrawing from family, friends and hobbies; disrupted eating or sleeping patterns; physical and mental fatigue; pessimism and hopelessness; physical aches and pains; unhealthy lifestyle choices like substance abuse, which would be alcohol in his case." I have the same thing, but it's no use telling that to them. "It's more common than you think."

As they didn't say anything, Chiara decided to keep going.

"Pure-O OCD is one of the types of OCD out there, and it's called that because those who have it, purely show signs of obsession towards things, but no compulsions. Now RLS means Restless Leg Syndrome, it's also common on people with anxiety, but as that is not Damian's case, he was diagnosed with RLS, and that can also mess up your sleep too," the guy is almost as haunted as I am. "It all came in display after his ex died, so it was a major point in his life."

Of course, she knows. "What do you know about that?"

She turned to Kevin, "A lot, since I hacked the dead girls stuff, and got a lot of info on it," they all turned pale to that, making her smirk amused. "When talking about Madalina, I said that she was childhood friends with Lady Lavender Smith, wife to Viscount Louis McIntyre, and the Godmother of the couple's two sons and a daughter that died when she was 19. That daughter was Damian's girlfriend. Kind of. 2 years older than him, they began getting involved when he was 14 and she was 16, and he fell helplessly in love with her," disgusting. "Lady Abigail Serena McIntyre, pale skinned, black wavy long hair, dark blue eyes, and with 1.77m, she was considered a beauty. A sweet and lovely rose, as many people in the media called her."

Kingsley blinked, "And wasn't she?"

Chiara scoffed, "Lovely? I wouldn't use that word. Full of thorns? Definitely. She was divided between Damian and Thomas Wright, his best friend at that time. Thomas was her age, and was also into her, but not as helplessly in love as Damian was. Well, she played with both, and began to lean more to Thomas than Damian, though Damian was kept in the dark. When they dated, he was respectful and a gentleman to her, and always there for whatever she needed. But she chose the one who was playing hard to get, and cheated on Damian constantly with his ex-best friend. Always manipulating his emotions and using his love for her, to her gain. Gaslighting and being quite toxic, hurting him with words and sometimes with her hands too."

"What?" They all exclaimed in shock.

They really had no idea? "She also used to pretend to be depressed and say stuff like 'I'll kill myself if you leave me' and used that to keep him and Thomas under her thumb. But while Thomas knew her dark nature and intentions, Damian was clueless. Blinded by love. Until her grandparents, whom she was very close and attached to, died and she really got depressed. Thomas didn't believe, but Damian did, since to him she always had it. And about three months after their death, she killed herself by cutting her wrists in the bathtub, and died by extreme loss of blood. Damian was the one who found her, since he was on his way to her family's house, and it was her birthday, October 5th," same day as mama, how awful. "For that reason, he evolved PTSD, and everything else. The only thing he always had was the antagonistic narcissism."

"Fuck!" They cursed in sync again.

"It might have been their parental intuition, but his parents never approved of his relationship with Abigail. Neither did any of his siblings. Or maybe they noticed how she was using him. I have no idea, and neither do I want to understand. Nevertheless, that guy went through quite the mental breakdown. And I understand a lot about that," Chiara chuckled anxiously.

"And I used to think that she was too good for him," Khloe gasped. "Jesus Christ, did she had any mental problem to do that?"

Chiara tilted her head. "She did. I got her psychological tests too, after hacking her stupid doctor, who should have a better security protection, give who were her client. But yes. Well, that girl had quite the problematic mind as well, being diagnosed with malignant narcissism, borderline, and dissociative personality disorder. The last one being pretty much the most severe type of mental illness, that implies the person in question has more than one self, kind of fragmented. And Abigail was diagnosed with four different types of personalities, all of them showing malignant narcissism. So, the girl was anything by healthy."

"I'm sorry for asking you so many questions, Chiara, but I don't know what does the malignant narcissism implies." Ugh, I do not want her to think I'm dumb. It's just that metal illness never took the spotlight in my list of interests.

Her IQ is far from being low, so how is she so stupid? "To put it simple to you, Khloe, the malignant narcissism is the bad, bad, bad type. Those who fall into this type, are abusive people who finds pleasure in lying, manipulating, and using other people in order to get the things that they want. Damian and Cornel aren't like that, they are simply full of themselves and extremely competitive in a crazy way."

"Oh. Sounds terrible!"
