Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 85

“Yes, it wasn’t Phoebe who pushed Melody down the stairs. I was downstairs, and I saw everything clearly,” Hank leaned against the wall, sobbing as he spoke.

“Spit it out!” Dexter’s voice was icy, his patience thin.

“That day, I was at your place with Melody’s sister Serena, and there was a scuffle between Melody and Phoebe. Melody just lost her balance and tumbled down the stairs. It wasn’t Phoebe’s doing.” Hank admitted through tears. “I lled, okay? I just wanted to get back at Phoebe. I didn’t stand up for her.”

Dexter didn’t say a word. Instead, he grabbed Hank by the collar and started throwing punches that landed with a sickening thud on Hank’s face.

“Dexter, why the hell are you hitting me. It was you who didn’t believe her in the first place.” Hank, desperate and cornered, yelled back at Dexter.

Another punch from Dexter, each one more furious than the last, as if he were trying to beat the life out of him.

I glanced at Stella. “You think he’ll kill him?”

Stella clenched her fists. “Even if he does, the guy had it coming.”

I nodded in agreement.
