Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 45

Another victim had surfaced, and the revelation sent me reeling to my feet.

That lunatic, how could he have taken so many lives?

All those girls who were adopted from the orphanage were brutally murdered, one by one…

What was the reason behind this madness?

Did he realize he had killed the wrong person? Or was it something else….

“This time, on the body… we found…” He trailed off, struggling to continue.

“The eyes…” the officer took a deep breath. “The forensic expert examined and said the eyes in the victim’s sockets were placed there post–mortem. They don’t belong to the victim. We suspect… they might be Phoebe’s.”

Stella collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.

The eyes…
