Reborn From Oblivion

"The path? I've already cleared it for you."

"I know you're scared of being alone, so I've arranged for your dad to be released. He's got the best doctors now, and soon, you two will be back together. He's your dad, after all, and I hope he can care for you and love you like I do. But if he can't, sis, don't cling to family ties. You can shine all on your own."

Nathalie was crying her heart out.

"Nathan, I don't want anything else. I just want you. Tell me, how can I make you stay?"

"Sis, Cameron and Benjamin are here to see me fall apart. I've got my pride, too. I don't want them seeing me like this."noveldrama

Nathalie went pale. "What do you want to do?"

"Bring Dominick to me."

Nathalie sensed something was off and shook her head desperately.

"Sis, I'm begging you."

Nathalie's resolve melted away.

Nathan had never asked her for anything before, and this was the last time. How could she refuse him?

"Then wait for me to come back."

"Okay."

"You have to wait for me," Nathalie said, tears in her eyes as she reached the door.

Nathan nodded. "Go on."

He had never lied to her, so she believed him.

Nathalie left the bedroom, her grief-stricken face quickly replaced with a stoic mask. She first headed to her personal wardrobe to apply a simple, natural look, then gracefully made her way downstairs.

Greta and Miranda were sprawled on the couch, fast asleep, lulled by their own drowsiness.

Nathalie approached them, her gaze icy and menacing.

"Lizzy, bring a basin of hot water."

Lizzy quickly responded, "Yes, sis."

Lizzy harbored a deep-seated grudge against Greta and her mother, so she made sure the water was scalding hot. Nathalie took one

look at the steaming water and without a second thought, splashed it onto Greta and Miranda's faces.

Screams echoed through the room.

Greta leaped up, wailing, "Ahhh!"

Miranda clutched her face, pain etched into her features.

"Nathalie, have you lost your mind?"

Nathalie almost wished she had gone mad. At least then her heart wouldn't hurt so much.

"It's late, and you think you can make a racket in my house? Greta, who the hell do you think you are?"

Greta clutched her red, swollen face, glaring at Nathalie with loathing.

Then, out of nowhere, Greta started laughing like a maniac, "Haha, Nathalie. You're this mad? That's not like you at all. Let me guess, did something happen to your loyal little puppy?"

"I heard there was a shooting at the Stewart estate today. You were there at the time, weren't you? Could it be your loyal puppy got hurt?"

"But hold on, if Nathan was hurt, you'd have called the cops, right? Yet no one's

heard about any police report. How strange."

Greta's smug, knowing grin drove Nathalie to the brink.

"Lizzy, shut the door."

"Got it," Lizzy replied.

Nathalie stormed up to Greta, grabbed her by the collar, and slapped her hard.

"Greta, you really need a good slap, you know that?"
