Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 35

Today, he seemed to be dressed a bit more fittingly. Although his clothes were still worn to a pale hue, they managed to cover the haunting scars on his ankles and shins.

He stood beneath the shade of an oak across the street, his silhouette tinged with a touch of solitude.

Youth seemed to radiate from his very bones. He was tall, his skin as pale and perfect as porcelain, his freshly washed face flawless, especially those eyes – they were captivatingly beautiful.

His hair was jet black, a mess falling over his face, which, under the interplay of light and shadow, made him look like a celebrity.

I froze, panic–stricken, looking at Stella. “Don’t be fooled by him! He’s a murderer, and he’s just pretending!”
