Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

“I’m telling you that Phoebe can never die. And whatever my relationship with her is, it has nothing to do with this case!” Dexter snapped with a mixture of anger and embarrassment,

“Mr. Fitzgerald, we’d appreciate your cooperation in this investigation. Please don’t make things harder for us,” the cop said with a hint of irritation in his voice.

I stood to the side. With a smirk on my face, I said to the young cop, “How could he possibly tell you about what dirty things he had done to his own sister?”

“Captain! We’ve got the lab results from the blood and skin found on the bracelet. It doesn’t match the body. The DNA is from another victim, a woman named Phoebe Caldwell, It looks like something bad has probably happened to Phoebe.”

Dexter’s fists clenched tightly, but he stood firm in his belief that I couldn’t be dead, “She’s clever enough so she’s just trying to throw us off her scent.

I watched Dexter, my heart was sinking in disappointment until it reached the bottom.

“Mr. Fitzgerald, your stalling and lack of cooperation could be costing us precious time. If Phoebe’s been taken by a killer, she could be desperate while waiting for rescue!”

Looking at the officer, my eyes welled up. He was right.

During the transition from being alive to death, no one could imagine the depths of my despair. ! prayed countless times for the police to find me, for Dexter to come save me.

But in the end, just thinking of Dexter made my heart ache.

Buzz!

Dexter’s phone rang. It was Melody on the line.

“Dexter! I saw Phoebe at the Nocturne Club!” Melody’s voice was thrilled.

Dexter paused, then looked at the police officer.

The cop exchanged a wary glance with his colleague, “Move out to Nocturne!”

I was nervous and I tried to stop them, “Don’t go, don’t go! Melody’s setting you up and trying

to throw you off the scent because she’s scared you’ll find my body!”

“Don’t believe her, don’t listen to her!” I screamed, but no one could hear me.

Dexter trusted Melody completely. He didn’t even question why she was at Nocturne in the dead of night.

I heard Dexter’s curse when I trailed behind him, “Phoebe! You’re in so much trouble when I find you!”

His tone was menacing, as if he’d do something terrible when he found me.

Unfortunately, he’d never get the chance.

At the Nocturne Club.

Plainclothes cops followed Dexter inside and found Melody.

“I got scared when it started thundering, and since you weren’t around, I came looking for you. That’s when I spotted Phoebe sneaking into Nocturne. There were so many people, I lost sight. of her.”

Melody said, choking up.

Dexter immediately wrapped Melody in his arms. “It’s okay, it’s okay now.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

He shot Melody a meaningful look before going into the club. Despite searching all night, they found no trace of me.

Following the police, I sighed, “Cops have it rough by getting jerked around at all hours.”

A tall figure in a hoodie, head bowed, was hurrying out of an alley.

“Stop right there!” The cop shouted, and the figure broke into a run.

Several officers tackled the person to the ground, “It’s him.”

Underneath the lights of Nocturne, I saw that face again, and my whole body went rigid with fear as I stepped back.

I was already dead, yet I was still terrified of this person.

That pale face was as handsome as a movie star. It was breathtakingly beautiful. But it’s a shame that its owner was a madman, a freak, a murderer.

“What are you running from in the middle of the night?” one of the cops kicked him.

The man’s gaze was fixed firmly in my direction. I covered my mouth with fear.

Could he… could he see me?
