Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 64

“You seem to know a lot,” Stella eyed me suspiciously. “What exactly is your endgame here?”

“To make Melody and Dexter pay,” I stated, my resolve unwavering. “Dexter always thought Melody was some kind of angel, right? Well, it’s time we pull the mask off the saint and show Dexter who she really is.”

“We?” Stella scoffed. “What makes you so sure I’m on your side?”

“You will be. You know what Phoebe went through with the Fitzgeralds, and you know it wasn’t just once that Melody framed her,” I asserted with confidence. “For the sake of your good friend, you’ll help me.”

“So where do we start?” Stella relented, her hatred for Dexter and Melody evident.

I slid a piece of paper across to her. “Phoebe didn’t push Melody down the stairs. Hank saw everything; he was a witness. They lied, made up a story, but Hank saw it wasn’t Phoebe who pushed her.”

“Hank’s in Melody’s pocket. Even if he saw something, he wouldn’t tell the truth,” Stella frowned.

You help me scare him, and he’ll spill everything. Then we’ll bring Dexter and Melody into the mix,” I plotted. I was set on staging an opening act for Dexter to show him Melody’s true
