Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 421

Chapter 421

Dexter leaned against the nearby wall, looking like he had taken a hit.

"Dexter..." Melody called out his name, her voice laced with anxiety.

I glanced up at Dexter, catching his intense gaze fixed on me, as if he too was eager to hear what I had to say.

"Let's go, Dexter's hurt." Melody shot me an angry look, seemingly frustrated that I had chosen this moment to pit them against each other in a do-or- die battle.

I turned back to Colin, my voice filled with confusion. "And why wouldn't I choose you? You're my husband, legally bound and all."

Colin froze for a moment before his eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had just won the lottery.

He gloated at Dexter, as if he were a peacock ready to strut.

Dexter's fingers tightened into fists, his complexion turning a shade paler. He let out a cold laugh. "You heard her. It's only because of that marriage certificate that she chose you."

"We're inseparable," Colin declared boastfully, pulling me into his embrace, showing no signs of someone who had just narrowly escaped death's clutches.

My heart felt numb as I looked at Colin, my brows furrowing, words failing me.

Dexter, sensing my change in emotion, deliberately stirred the pot. "Stella was her best friend, and Bran was one of your own. You're utterly heartless. They just died down there, yet all you can think about is this petty squabble. Madman."

Dexter was sowing discord.
