Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron)

Cameron flexed his massive influence like a storm, shutting down Nellie's online account with lightning speed. But by the very next day, Nellie was back with a new account. This time, she didn't just share the report of her kidney donation for Greta. She laid out the whole story in broad strokes: [Young and foolish, I thought a man's promises were as unbreakable as stone. In the end, I lost my kidney and my love. No, I realized, there was never any real love just my own naive dreams.] The drama was so juicy that the comments section exploded with opinions.

[This guy is way older than OP, and she was just a kid, totally innocent and clueless about the world's harsh realities. No wonder she fell for his empty promises. What a jerk! He took his wife's kidney and then cozied up to someone else while leaving his wife out in the cold. I bet he was plotting against her from the get-go.]

[Oh my God, isn't this just a straight-up con job?]

[What a snake of a guy.]

[Please, Lord, let me never meet a man like him.]

[Isn't this organ fraud or something?]

Cameron read these comments, feeling a mix of shock, fear, and boiling anger. Nellie was like that annoying weed that just won't die. Was she really trying to drag his name through the mud?

Thankfully, she hadn't dropped his name yet. There was still a chance to clean up his mess.

But Nellie wasn't giving him much wiggle room. She posted on a public platform: [If you keep hiding like a coward, I'll spill your real identity tomorrow.]

Even without naming names, everyone who knew Cameron could see Nellie was calling him out.

Cameron realized if he kept stalling, everything he'd worked so hard for would come crashing down. He thought, if a divorce is what she wants, then fine. Maybe it's for the best.

Just then, Griffin showed up at Cameron's place. He barely sat down before launching into a tirade. "Cameron, your wife is out there trashing your reputation, and you're just sitting back, letting it happen?"

Cameron's mouth opened, but he couldn't find the words. He couldn't exactly tell Griffin that he was the reason Nellie, who once adored him, had turned into this. So, he dodged the real issue. "She's just trying to push me into a divorce. Dad, I... I want out."

Griffin, clearly fed up, snapped, "A divorce? I told you when you took Nellie's kidney, you'd owe her forever. Now you want to leave her and prove you're an ungrateful jerk?"

Cameron argued, "But if I don't, Nellie won't stop. She'll keep airing my dirty laundry."

Griffin, in a rage, grabbed an ashtray and chucked it at Cameron, hitting his forehead and drawing blood.

Griffin shouted, "If you knew this would happen, why did you ever get involved? You and that Greta should've been over ages ago."

Cameron didn't dare wipe the blood off. He just hung his head and took it. "Dad, I see where I messed up."

Griffin softened a bit at his son's genuine remorse. He suggested, "Look, women are easy to win over. Just clear Nellie's debts, and she'll come around. Patch things up. And then, you and Nellie should think about having a kid. A child will tie her down, and she won't be so quick to talk divorce." Cameron nodded. "Got it."

To help Cameron weather the storm, Griffin lifted the financial restrictions he'd placed on him.
