Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 123

“Don’t fall for him again.”

I entered Caleb’s room when, out of nowhere. I found myself pinned against the wall.

And he told me to stop harboring feelings for him. He was talking about Dexter.

“Not anymore.” I mumbled, my voice hoarse as I averted my gaze.

“Lies…” He accused me of lying.

“I…” I tried to explain, but his grip on my chin prevented any further words as his mouth sealed over mine.

His breath was scorching, and the room seemed to burn with an invisible fire.

I was still afraid of him: Caleb could be truly intimidating when he meant business. “Colin…” I muttered.

It seemed that he could regain a sliver of sanity when I called him Colin.

True to form, his icy eyes hesitated for a moment at the sound of his name Colin, and he released me with a heavy breath, probably worried about hurting the baby growing inside me..

“Phoebe… don’t leave me again. Don’t lie to me again.”

He kept saying ‘again‘. As if Phoebe Caldwell had deceived him countless times before.

But I couldn’t remember any of it.
