Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 804

"Ashley, seriously, get a grip. You're obsessing over someone's fiancé. Aren't you worried about how his actual fiancée might feel?" Ashley's friend teased her.

Nathalie felt like she'd been doused with cold water. She hated being seen as the other woman, and the misunderstanding left her feeling ashamed.

But she wasn't one to back down. "Sure, he's Ashley's fiancé, but he's also my brother. If I don't step in, do you think Ashley could handle getting him out of trouble?"

Her words left Ashley's friend speechless.

Nathalie continued, "Life's tough. Love that's all talk and no action? That's just flimsy."

With that, Nathalie strode off confidently.

Ashley watched her go, her eyes a storm of jealousy and frustration.

In the days that followed, Nathalie kept her word, making clothes for Scottie's family. Meanwhile, Ashley was mulling over a visit to the prison.

Her friend urged her on, "Ashley, Morris might have a bit of a reputation, but he's a business whiz. Even if he starts from scratch, he'll bounce back quickly. Don't write him off just yet."

Ashley admitted, "It's not that I don't want him. It's my granddad. He thinks Morris's disability and his past life sentence mean he's got no future, so he won't let us continue."
