Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 9

Chapter

Colin’s eyes blazed with a fiery intensity as he gazed at my photograph. He seemed to be emotionally charged

You know, I’ve gotta say that Phoebe’s got a decent figure. Wouldn’t be a total loss to wake up next to her. Heck, if she threw herself at me. I’d take her up on it.” 

*Remember at Nocturne Club, when she was soaked to the bone? Gotta admit that she’s got curves in all the right places.” 

Kyle, you sure took your sweet time helping her out of those wet clothes” 

Haha” 

Dexter’s entourage of trustfund brats spewed their vulgar banter without restraint

Since Dexter looked down on me, they all did. Because Dexter always saw me as cheap. disgusting, and inferior, none of them had ever shown me an ounce of respect

I glared at their revolting faces, itching to tear them apart. My fists clenched and swung with futile anger

Thud!” 

The sound echoed

Kyle was punched hard and crashing to the ground

I stood there in shock, watching a man with manic force lung at Kyle. And the man was Colin, the psycho who killed me

Damn, is he crazy? Just get him out of the way!The people around Kyle cursed in terror, they rushed up to try to stop it

But Colin was like a beast that suddenly lost its mind. No matter how hard they hit him, he was still beating Kyle hard and refusing to let go. Those bloodshot eyes of his were like those of a monster in a frenzy

Touch her, and you’ll pay with your lifeColin’s voice was grave, his words almost a sob

But no one could make out what he was saying

Colin’s face was smeared with blood, and he looked like a frantic beast under the light. That was inciting a primal fear

Finally, it was Dexter who knocked him out with a blunt hit. He was cursing under his breath

Call the police. They’ll sort it out,Dexter said sternly

Kyle lay unconscious. His face was bloodied beyond recognition

I watched numbly when a hollow laugh escaped me

Chapter

Was this karmic justice

Two months ago, Kyle called me using Dexter’s phone. He claimed Dexter had gotten drunk and was calling out for me, asking me to come pick him up

It was pouring rain that night, and without a car or a cab in sight, my umbrella useless against the howling wind

All because Kyle said Dexter wanted me, I, like a fool, braved the storm and ran desperately toward the club

But when I burst through the club’s door, drenched and bedraggled, I was greeted by their mocking laughter

Well, she actually came in this downpour!” 

Dexter, man, you’ve got game. You win.” 

Dexter wasn’t drunk at all. He and his cronies were playing some vile games

Dexter, this chick is so desperate; she’d do anything to marry you, right?Kyle sneered. Tell her she’s got to sleep with me first, and if she does, you’ll marry her. Bet she’d agree.” 

The room erupted in laughter

They looked at me as if I was a cheap commodity. Their gazes were sleazy and disgusting
