Chapter 259 Chapter no 89
After a week of staying, Nathaniel suggested Amanda to stay with him in case she needed something and mourn peacefully.

Also to be mentally prepared to enter the apartment her husband won’t be able to return to ever again.

They were busy discussing where to stay as it couldn’t be hideout anymore in the cabin. Elton entered the hideout searching for Zariah.

Fumes emitted from him the second he came to know that Alice’s demise was her fault, the news made him lose his mind.

“You…” 

His features hardened, glaring at Zariah who was mentally prepared for everyone’s wrath and remained motionless.

“How can you show your face after giving him the most trouble and suffering?” He snapped.

Approaching her angrily, pushing her by the shoulder.

“Your anger is valid, Elton,” She whispered, holding her elbow, not raising her gaze.

“Damn right it is!”

Exhausted her strength was deprived, not enough to argue or justify further, allowing him to express his fury and bearing with it.

“You are a destroyer of homes! A person like you is bound to be miserable.”

“They were always right about it, a killing machine can never under emotions!” He snapped, losing his strength, tears glistening in his eyes.

“You killed my Alice! She was the only thing good that happened to me and you took her away too!” 

Breaking into a weak sobbing, the wrath gathered attention as everyone gathered to see what was happening.

Zariah stood, filled with extensive shame, not expecting a slightest glimpse of compassion. Curling her lips in a dejected smile, she whispered.

“I am sorry,” 

“You are-” 

Now allowing Elton to continue his trail of resentful statements that were flaring her already scorched heart, Nathaniel came in between.

“Elton, enough,” 

Staggered, Zariah looked up at his broad shoulders, standing before her, not permitting him to disgrace her further or point his finger.

“What the-” 

Elton hissed, yanking himself away and clutched his chest painfully.

“She killed my Alice, Boss! I won’t forgive her!” He cried.

He was about to shift his glare to Zariah but Nathaniel hid her behind his shoulder.

To him, he could hold complaints, not one else. 

His eyes were hollow yet to hear a wrong statement about her was beyond his endurance as his body instinctively reacted.

“I hate you, Zariah! You know what? You don’t deserve happiness! You are the worst person!” 

“Elton, enough, I know you are heartbroken but do know, those who are meant to die, no one can prevent their death,” 

Nathaniel breathed out, approaching him steadily.

Gesturing him to relax as Eltaon was disliking his inclination to shelter the one who razed his home. 

“But, she- she,”

Elton shivered and was about to curse her but wrapping his hand around his shoulder, Nathaniel pulled him into a side hug. 

“It’s all Brandon’s fault. He hired her, she didn’t even know then why blame and he had already paid then why this grudge?” Nathaniel whispered, patting his back to cool down.

A few tears rolled down, gripping onto him to be stuck in this loop of endless tribulations on them and their lives, the trails were never ending.

“You know I have always wanted you to move on and start a new life, not this pathetic one, don’t stay at this point,” 

Nathaniel continued reassuring him, pulling away a little. Offering him a handkerchief to wipe those tears.

If allowed by destiny, he would have wholeheartedly accepted Elton as his brother-in-law. He was always soft towards her nonetheless.

“Sir, it hurts and how can you say when you yourself have been in love with her for two decades?”

Wiping his tears, Elton almost taunted about an undeniable fact, making a valid point that left both of them speechless. 

“Did you change your first lover? How can you expect me to do the same?” 

Inhaling sharply, Nathaniel forced out a smile, giving his shoulder a soft squeeze to cool his rage down and think rationally.

“Mine is here, right beside me but yours aren't alive so please, for someone who cares for your future. Please move one,”

He opened his mouth to argue but the boundary of respect sealed his words. 

Frowning, he moved back, against it but for him, he sighed in defeat.

“But, I won’t forgive her,” He insisted, making a sour face. 

He smiled and gave his back a pat, “Okay but do know that you cannot hate the mother of my child,” 

“Why would I hate- Oh…” 

Making an understanding face, his frown deepened but the gentleness on his face vanquished his fury. 

Lowering his eyes, he asked innocently, “Are you happy?”

He replied without thinking twice, “Yes,”

“I see… if that’s what you want,”

Nodding, he bore with the heavy fact and pointed his finger at her for the final time before leaving.

“But, I will still not forgive her,”
