Reborn From Oblivion

Cameron felt a wave of irritation bubbling up as he lazily scrolled through his chat history with Nellie. Back then, she was always the one to greet him with a "good morning" or "good night," sharing every little detail about the places she visited and the food she tried-

almost to the point of being too clingy.

But ever since he sent her abroad, it was like she vanished into thin air. He did not hear a peep from her, and it was only now that he noticed the change. He realized just how much he had been neglecting Nellie.

He shot her a message on social media: [Hey Nel, what's up?]

[Have you been ignoring me because you're mad at me?]

After staring at the screen for what felt like forever, he finally hit send, only to be met with a glaring red exclamation mark.

Cameron was dumbfounded. Did someone hack Nellie's account?

He quickly dialed her international number. After the standard busy tone, a gentle automated voice informed him, "Sorry, the number you've dialed is no longer in service."

Cameron was left in shock and confusion. Matt chimed in, "Boss, it looks like your wife has blocked you."

His face shifted from pale to red. It took him ages to wrap his head around it: Nellie had blocked him?

Matt shot him a glance, noting how worryingly oblivious he was. Nellie had tossed aside the gifts he bought, refused his financial help, and even blocked him just to sever ties. All signs pointed to her genuinely considering leaving him. "Boss, maybe she's really planning to leave you?"

Cameron burst out laughing, finding the idea absurd. "Leave me? No way." He figured she had given up too much to walk away from being his wife.

Matt spoke up for Nellie, "Boss, no woman wants to share her husband with someone else. You've hurt her feelings over and over for Miss Greta. Maybe she's just had enough."

Cameron shrugged it off. "Sure, I might've overlooked her, but before me, she was just a poor little outcast. Becoming my wife was a miracle she could only dream of. She knows better than to go after things she doesn't deserve. This is no fairy tales where Cinderella becomes a princess overnight."

Matt sighed deeply.

Using Matt's phone, Cameron sent another message to Nellie: [Nel, there's a big company event coming up. As my wife, you should be there. Get back here, pronto. Cameron.]

He didn't bother mentioning any of his broken promises and how he treated Nellie like a puppet without thoughts or feelings as he waited for her to make the first move. Feeling satisfied, he turned to Matt. "Call up the guys. Let's grab some dinner."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, in Milan, Nellie was busy at her sewing machine when her phone buzzed. She asked Nathan, "Nathan, can you check my text?"

Thinking it might be an order from a client, Nathan picked up her phone. But his face turned frosty when he read the message. Sneaking a look at Nellie, he said, "It's just a wrong message from a stranger."
