Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

She could only watch, tears streaming down her cheeks, as Nathan paid his respects to her.

After carving her name into the gravestone, Nathan stood up and gave Cameron a frosty glare. "I picked this spot for Nathalie. It's the best place I could find. You and her? You were never meant to be. Even now, you'll just mess up her path to the next life. So don't come back here."

Cameron's grief erupted. "No, Nathan, you can't be that heartless. She was my wife. I have every right to mourn her."

A hard, cold look flashed in Nathan's eyes. "All you'll do is stain her way forward. If it weren't for you, Cameron, she could've lived a long life."

Cameron crumpled to the ground, drained and hopeless. "I really loved Nathalie. No one hurts more than I do... I can't stand this..."

Nathan didn't spare him a glance. Instead, he stared at the gravestone, looking like he could bore a hole through it with just his eyes.

"Nathalie, you promised me you'd live your life well. You said you would. Why didn't you keep your word?"

His anger only grew. "I worked so hard, fought so many battles, even gave up everything, let my hands get dirty-just to give you a bright future. I finally made it. So why couldn't you wait for me? Why did you forget me?"

"In our next life, I'll come find you, okay?"
