Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 265

Outside, Dexter and Damian walked in.

Melody was in tears, desperately calling for Dexter to save her. “Dexter, she’s lost it. Save

me.”

Dexter was clearly taken aback. “Phoebe… put the lighter down.”

Damian, equally shocked, stepped forward. “Phoebe, take it easy, drop the lighter, take a deep breath. You don’t really want to hurt anyone, right?”

I glanced at Dexter and Damian, a sneer spreading across my face. “Wrong answer. I’m not looking to hurt a person.”

The moment the flame from the lighter neared Melody’s hair, the high–proof alcohol caught fire.

Melody screamed in terror, her hands frantically slapping at the flames in her hair, panic making her fall to the floor, crying out for help.

I stood there, detached, watching Melody’s tears and pleas.

Watching Dexter rush to smother the flames with a damp towel, watching Melody sob in Dexter’s arms.

Damian furrowed his brows, his gaze lingering on me for a long time.

“Dexter, she’s going to kill me; she wants me dead. Dexter, save me, please…” Melody continued to cry out, her hair singed, her face reddened by the flames, but, sadly, her beauty unmarred.
