Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2 What Tricks Are You Up To Again?

Three months later, the once formidable Camerons had been completely wiped out. On a beautiful day, the sun shone brightly.

Nathael meticulously adjusted his shirt and suit in front of a mirror. His suit was perfectly pressed, without a single wrinkle, and he chose to wear the only gift she had ever given him, a blue-striped tie.

The man’s expression was less gloomy, resembling that of a young man preparing for a date as he drove to the Rose Manor he had built for her.

Inside the manor, a vast sea of brilliant red roses captivated the senses. In the middle of the sea of roses was a small mound with a wooden sign engraved with the words: The Tomb of My Beloved Wife, Maggie Adam. Maggie knew that he had carved those words onto the sign using a dagger, one by one. Lush, dark green vines entwined around the wooden sign, blooming with a few exquisite roses, creating an antique and beautiful scene. Nathael sat in front of the wooden sign for a long time, like a child abandoned by the world.

Suddenly, the ringing of the phone shattered the silence. “Sir, I wanted to confirm the corneal transplant surgery you arranged before.” Nathael remained silent for a long time, then slowly said, “Cancel it. She’s gone.”

Upon hearing this, the person on the other side breathed a sigh of relief. If he had transplanted the eyes of the seventh young master of Harris into a woman, the Harris family would never let him off the hook! Maggie bit her lip tightly, fighting back tears that lacked any real sensation from overflowing. Nathael had intended to give her his eyes. He had planned to give her his eyes! Why was he so kind to her? Why would he give her his eyes? Why would he willingly let her use and deceive him repeatedly?

He knew Joseph had used her as a bait. Why did he still risk his life to save her? Fool! Nathael, you are incredibly foolish!

“Alex, March 6 marks the death anniversary of Maggie’s parents. Starting now, I’d like you to place a bouquet of flowers on their graves for me every year.”

“Mr. Harris … ” Nathael’s fingers touched the word “Maggie” on the tombstone, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.

“Bury me together with her.”

Maggie suddenly had a bad feeling and instinctively wanted to reach out to stop him.

“No! Nathael! No!”

Her fingers brushed against his arm, as if sensing something there. Nathael turned his head and said softly, “Maggie, have you come back to visit me?” Maggie screamed hoarsely, but the man before her just smiled. After a while, he raised a black pistol and aimed it at his head.

“Don’t be afraid,” he said. “We … will be together again soon … ”

Bang! As the gunshot rang out, Nathael collapsed in front of the tomb. It was as if all the stars in the world had lost their brilliance. Now, he would be together with his loved one forever.

Maggie cried out in pain, and her soul gradually became transparent. Nathael, if the next life exist, I’ll treat you well …

“Hmph! You’re so generous to Joseph!” The cold and familiar voice made Maggie freeze. She stared blankly at the unfamiliar hotel in front of her, her head throbbing from a hangover.
