Rebirth Of Vengeance

Chapter 2

Nick Simpson, Natalie's father, was surprised by how quickly Natalie agreed to sign the papers. Jennifer was just as shocked; it wasn't typical for Natalie to give in without a tussle, which often seemed to distance their dad from her. But this time around, Natalie was ready to let it go. "Natalie, don't do this. I took your place, and I know that's why you're upset. But I'm letting go of the past. I forgive you. Please don't sign those papers," Jennifer said, her voice shaky.

Natalie looked at her sister's fake tears with a smirk. "Jennifer, isn't this what you wanted? Me out of the picture, the Simpson family all to yourself? If you're leaving, why wait? It's all talk, no action. And who are these tears really for?"

Jennifer was speechless, surprised by Natalie's calmness. 'When had she become so composed?' she wondered.

Facing Nick, Natalie said, "Mr. Simpson, remember when Easton lost his sight and Jennifer ran away? You brought me in to marry Easton in her place. I guess this is how I repay you."

Nick breathed a sigh of relief that Natalie wasn't going to spill their secret. Jennifer also let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding, figuring that Natalie was still in the dark about the truth.
