Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 25

Robin furrowed his brow and released Colin.

Colin turned and bolted, motioning for Stella and Robin to follow suit.

Panic surged through me as I tried to stop Stella, “Stella, don’t trust him, he’s a murderer. Don’t go, please!”

But how could Stella pass up such an opportunity? She was desperate to find me.

“Freeze, Colin!” Stella chased after him, her voice laden with urgency.

I followed in panic as I called out to Robin, “Hurry up, man! Keep her safe; I’m begging you.”

Robin snapped to action and gave chase, both of them trailing Colin.

Colin looked hobbled but I could tell he was running as hard as he could. The blood was trickling down his lanky calves and it was shocking to see.

His pants were too short and tattered. No one knew where he scavenged them.

I couldn’t help but wonder if he truly was from the Langley family, and if they were so good to him and treating him like a prince, why would they let him wander homeless?

Perhaps the Langleys despised him too.

I didn’t know what kind of life Colin had led, nor did I want to empathize with a serial killer, no matter his past. Murder was inexcusable.
