Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 426

Greta shot him a look that was as cold as ice, the kind of look that once might have been full of love but was now replaced with nothing but bitterness.

"Do you really hate me so much that you'd rather watch me get hurt by kidnappers than lift a finger to help?" Greta's voice broke as she sobbed, her body still shivering from the memory of what she'd been through.

Cameron shook his head frantically, his voice shaky, "I had no idea, really. I thought you were just pulling another trick on me…"

"Happy now? Is this what you wanted?" Greta's anger was palpable, but the physical reminders of her ordeal drained her of the energy to maintain it. Her voice, even when accusing, was weak.

Cameron was utterly bewildered, holding his head as if trying to contain his thoughts, "I don’t know what to do, Greta. Please, forgive me. I never meant not to leave you there…"

Suddenly, a thought seemed to strike him, and he lifted his head, his guilt morphing into defensive anger, "You can't pin this on me. You’ve lied so many times that when you called for help, I thought it was just another one of your stories. How was I supposed to know you were serious?"

A flicker of guilt flashed in Greta's eyes. Then she burst into tears, her sobs theatrical, "What's the use of blaming you now?"

Nathalie watched them tear each other apart and felt a surprising sense of detachment.

She realized she’d been quite foolish. So much time and energy wasted on this pair. It wasn’t worth it.

Even if she hadn't sought revenge, Greta's selfishness would have inevitably come to light. It was just a matter of time before Cameron saw her true colors.

Their so-called love was bound to unravel, leading them to go their separate ways. She’d wasted too much energy on them.
