Reborn From Oblivion

Cameron had been AWOL for two days, which was totally out of character for him, and he wasn't picking up Greta's calls either. This had her spiraling into worry. Unable to sit still, Greta marched over to Cameron's office, hoping to catch him on his way out. "Cameron," she called out, standing there all alone outside the building, tears threatening to spill over. She was the picture of a distressed and devoted wife. "You haven't been home, and I've been losing my mind with worry," she said. Cameron gazed at her, not rushing to her side like he once would have. As he took in her appearance, he noted her sallow complexion and flat features, untouched even by makeup. She wasn't exactly a beauty queen. In comparison to Nellie's glowing skin and fierce resilience, Greta seemed as plain as a toad.

A mix of emotions churned inside him. He wondered how he ever got swept up in affection for someone he now viewed as unattractive and deceitful. Still, he wasn't ready to jump to conclusions without solid proof against Greta.

Keeping his cool, Cameron stepped forward and said, "I've been swamped these last few days. Sorry for making you worry." His words seemed to ease Greta's anxiety as she collapsed into his arms, sobbing, "Cameron, I thought you'd left me." Cameron hesitated briefly before gently patting her head. "Of course not. Let's head home."

Back at their place, while Greta was napping, Cameron discreetly returned Timeless Cycle to its hidden spot in her jewelry box. He then set up a newly purchased security camera in a concealed corner of the living room. With everything in place, he sank into the sofa, exhausted.

When Greta woke up, she whispered, "Cameron, I'm thirsty." He didn't respond. Greta, now makeup-free, stood before him, pouting. "Cameron, why won't you answer me?"

Cameron finally looked up, seemingly lost in his thoughts. "Greta, I've got to go on a business trip for a few days."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Her face fell, a mix of shock and reluctance. "Cameron, I want to go with you. I'm scared of being alone," she pleaded.

For once, Cameron didn't give in. "Greta, you know my job is just taking off. Working for the Rowland family means I can't just do as I please."

Hearing his firm refusal, Greta had

no choice but to relent. But as Cameron left, she spotted a pink stuffed toy strapped to his suitcase. Her heart sank with suspicion. A guy like him, heading out with a plush toy was definitely not normal.

Greta couldn't shake the feeling that Cameron's trip wasn't just business. She feared he might be cheating. She let him go without a fuss, but doubt had taken root, and she doubt had

wasn't about to let it slide. She's determined to find out who the other woman might be.

Her thoughts immediately went to Nathalie. So, after Cameron left, Greta made a beeline for Nathalie's place. But when she got there, the dook was shut tight, and Nathalie was nowhere in sight.
