Cameron stared at Greta, his eyes searching for the guilt he saw flickering within hers. It tightened something in his chest. He'd always thought of her as fragile, too drained for any kind of scheming, especially with that constant mask of patience and kindness she wore. So, he'd let her get away with a lot.
"Greta, marrying your sister barely cost me anything. Looking back, I realize I treated her horribly as my wife. She gave you a kidney when she might as well have sold it to a stranger."
Greta went pale. "Cameron, what are you trying to say?"
Cameron sighed, "When she came back to the Brown family, we all smugly assumed it was her salvation. But did it ever occur to us that without our meddling, she might have thrived?"
Greta was visibly upset. "Cameron, that's not how it was. You know how rough her life was before she came back. Bringing her home meant she could finally have nice clothes and good food."
Cameron suddenly leaned in, his eyes locking onto Greta's. "After she went abroad, not a penny of ours was spent, and she flourished. She built her own career and is now wearing designer jewelry I never even thought to buy her..."
Greta was shaken to her core. "Are you saying it's my fault for not treating her right? But Cameron, I love you so much. Is it really wrong to not want to share you with another woman?"
Cameron replied, "We owe her an apology, Greta. We need to make amends."
With tears brimming, Greta said, "She has it all now. We're the ones who are broke. What could we possibly offer her?"
Cameron fell into silence. When he was on top, there were plenty of chances to make things right with Nathalie. But now, she was the one with power, and he had nothing to give.
As Cameron tried to move their important things out of the villa, the sheer volume of stuff, plus Greta's lack of help, slowed him down. The new owner arrived before they were ready to leave.
