Chapter 412
Nathalie shot Greta a look that was equal parts smug and scornful. “I really thought you two were rock solid. But look at that, your relationship hit the skids in no time. What a pity. A player and a drama queen can’t stick together forever. I wonder who’s going to fal victim to your mess next?”
Greta’s eyes flared with anger. “Are you satisfied, Nathalie? Cameron’s finally given up on me. And it’s all thanks to you. If you hadn’t been so obsessed with revenge, we wouldn’t be here.”
Nathalie just stared at her, lost for words. “Greta, actions have consequences. Why would I want revenge? You know why. Compared to what you both did to me, your current payback doesn’t even scratch the surface.”
Greta shivered. “What do you really want?”
Nathalie’s lovely face twisted into something monstrous. “I want my kidney back from you, then I want you to die slowly from kidney. failure. I want you to have Cameron’s child while you’re wasting away from a terminal illness, and then I want to take that child’s life yself so you know what it feels like to lose your own flesh and blood. I want our parents to disown you, for everyone to turn their backs on you, and for you to die alone and forgotten. I want Cameron to deceive you, to make you feel the sting of betrayal…”

Nathalie’s smile grew wild and menacing. “Oh, I’ve lost it, alright. The second you stuck that poisoned needle into my daughter’s vein, I went off the deep end.”
Greta crumpled to the ground. “So, those visions from Timeless Cycle were real? How can that be?”
It hit Greta like a ton of bricks. She pleaded with Nathalie, “Please, Nathalie, snap out of it. Those Timeless Cycle visions have messed with your head. They’re not real; a lot of it is just make–believe… Nathalie, you don’t have a daughter, and I didn’t harm her. Please, come. back to reality. Don’t let the Timeless Cycle get to you.”
Nathalie looked down at Greta, who was a were real.”

Then, she stumbled away, her spirit shattered.
At the door, she bumped into Cameron, who had rushed home.
Cameron froze, taking in Nathalie’s pain and despair. It was like he had traveled through time and finally saw the mother who’d lost her darling daughter.
“I’m sorry,” he said, his voice heavy with sincerity.
Nathalie suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard. “Cameron, how is it that fate lets you live so carefree through two lifetimes?” She broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. “It’s just not fair. You’ve done so much wrong, and yet fate seems to spare you.” Cameron slumped against the door, whispering, “Fate’s punished me too. Nathalie, I’ve lost everything. My mom, who adored me, my pure–hearted wife, my dad, and the love of my life… I’ve got nothing left. Nathalie, just let me be.”
Nathalie’s voice rose in a hysterical wail. “It’s nowhere near enough. Not by a long shot. You should pay with your life for our daughter.”
Tears streamed down her face as she cried out, “Our daughter was just a child, and you sacrificed her for your stupid love. Cameron, you’re the biggest fool on earth, a total joke…”
