Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 297

Chapter 297

“Do you even realize what you’ve done?” I asked Dexter, gripping his collar with a feigned smile, my eyes flicking over to where Melody was standing, fuming in the comer.

Melody looked like she was about to grind her teeth to dust.

“Phoebe…” Dexter’s voice wavered as he took my hands in his. “I should’ve trusted you. Whatever happened before, I’ll make it up to you. From now on, I’ll be your knight in shining armor. No one will ever hurt you again. I swear.” Dexter declared, his face etched with eamestness.

I put on my best damsel–in–distress act and batted my eyelashes at him. “What to do? I can’t stand the sight of her.”

I nodded subtly in Melody’s direction.

Dexter glanced back at her, his brows knitting together. “Melody, I’ll have my bodyguards ensure your safety, you…”

“Dexter, there’s been another murder on Tangle Lane, and I’m terrified, you know that. I’m not asking for much. I don’t want to fight with her over you.” Melody’s voice wavered as she bit back her anger, glaring at me. “I just… just hope you can protect me, for old times‘ sake.”
