My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Chapter 2

Holy cr ap!!!

Was he kissing her dead body? Did he have a thing for corpses?!

Xanthea, shivering with horror, saw Orion not only bizarrely kiss the girl’s lips for a long while but also picked up her lifeless body and headed towards the Rolls-Royce.

What in the world did he want with her body? Wasn’t kissing her enough, now he wanted. to take her home for some sick game?

Fuming to the point of nearly exploding, Xanthea was about to follow when suddenly her soul got sucked into the knife Orion was holding. When she was released again, she found herself in the chilling breeze of a pitch-dark rooftop.

As Xanthea realized it was a rooftop, her spirit trembled.

This was the very rooftop where Xanthea had caught Matthew and Miranda in the middle of a disgraceful scene and was then pushed off the building.

Two people, one was her longtime beloved fiancé and the other was her stepsister who she trusted implicitly had betrayed her in the cruelest way. She despised them!

As she looked past them, Orion’s tall silhouette cast a dark shadow on Matthew and Miranda’s faces.
