Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 535

"You're just picking on Nathan because his mom passed away early and his grandparents are too old to stand up for him, aren't you?" Nathalie snapped.

Benjamin, feeling as wronged as a character in a classic tragedy, was pacing nervously. "What can I say to make you believe us?" he pleaded.

"I swear, we never did anything to hurt Nathan. If I'm lying, may I meet a terrible fate."

Benjamin's intense vow left Nathalie feeling conflicted. Her eyes drifted back to the photo album...

She couldn't wrap her head around it. How could one person live two completely different lives? Maybe Nathan had a twin brother?

That would explain things. But if he did, how could Gavin not know? It just didn't add up.

"Benjamin, let me go," Nathalie decided it was best to get out of there before anything else.

Benjamin quickly untied her, apologizing, "Nathalie, please don't be upset. I didn't mean to tie you up. I just really needed to explain everything. I knew you wouldn't come if I just asked, so I had to take this drastic step." Once she was free, Nathalie, fuming, kicked Benjamin in the leg. "If you ever pull a stunt like this again, you're done for."

Benjamin just gave a sheepish grin, unfazed. "I promise, there won't be a next time."

He handed her phone back to her with respect. On it, Nathan had left a dozen missed calls and a flood of messages.
