a book, literary work, etc., containing such a story,

an account of past events in someone’s life or in the development of something.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NARRATIVE AND A STORY:

If using the definition of ‘story’ from the dictionary as “an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment,” then the narrative is the choice of which events to relate and in what order. The narrative is how we decide to tell a story as we apply different narratives to the same story all the time which changes the perspective, which ultimately could lead to a change the view of the story.
