Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 465

"Phoebe, that was my old plan. The plan for when you had forgotten me, when you didn't love me," Colin whispered, cradling my face in his hands. "But now, you're back in my life, and I've changed my plans. Look... I sold off my shares in Langley Enterprises. I had intended to take over the Langley family's business empire, to secure a place in the world of finance, and then... to carry out my plan."

Seeing me still in tears, Colin frantically continued to explain. "Phoebe, look, my plans were all disrupted by you, from the moment you woke up in my bed, really..."

"How could I bear to leave you alone?" Colin said, his voice breaking and his hands trembling as he held my face. "Phoebe, don't be afraid, I will never leave you."

I looked at Colin, half-believing. "Really?"

Colin swore, raising his hand, but his eyes held a sadness I couldn't understand. "I swear, Colin will never leave Phoebe, never..."

"But what if I'm not Phoebe?" I said, fearfully.

What if, as Melody said, I was just a clone, with memories planted in me?

"You are, Phoebe, you are," Colin soothed, caressing my face. "Never let anyone sway you. Belief is something you give yourself."

Tears filled my eyes as I looked at Colin. "Then tell me, what was your original plan?"

"Phoebe... there's a mastermind behind operations in each country, and you, you were their most prized and creative experiment," Colin whispered. "My plan was to use Langley Enterprises to prate the financial core, find the person behind the organization, replace the mastermind, overturn the entire 'Deification Project', destroy all experimental data, and make 'Phoebe Caldwell', 'Foebe Larson', and all other subjects, completely disappear. To set you free once and for all."

He intended to infiltrate the darkness, to become the evil hand behind it all, and then to save his love.
