Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 316

Robin was jolted awake by my voice, his eyes snapping open in alarm.

Injury marred his features, with bandages wrapped around his head and arm. "Foebe!"

"Colin..." My voice came out hoarse, calling for Colin.

"He's fine, just the medication and his injuries put him out for a while. Woke up once and then passed out again. The doctor said to let him sleep it off," Robin hurried to reassure me.

I sighed with relief, my fingers icy as they clutched Robin's hand. "The baby..."

Robin hesitated, his eyes dropping guiltily.

His silence was all the confirmation I needed... I had lost the child.

"But... losing the baby meant saving Colin," Robin murmured, rubbing his temples.

Tears burned in my eyes, my voice choking up. "Colin..."

"Julian's dead."

Robin's voice was barely a whisper.

Julian caused a car crash, a kidnapping, and then, in front of Colin, he had done the unthinkable to our unborn child. To protect me, Colin had been forced to act decisively.

"There's something else... Henry played a ruthless hand, pinning all the Langley family's dirty black-market dealings on Julian. For all those criminal activities the police had been sniffing around for years, they've been washed clean with Julian's death. It also means that Henry will fight tooth and nail against you for control of the Langley Group."

Robin was visibly agitated.

Corporate battles were dark affairs—bloodless killings, using one enemy to destroy another.

"With the baby gone, the Langley heir is gone. With Colin's condition, you know how hard it would be for him to take over the Langley Group. It can only mean that, for now, Henry will have to manage it, and slowly..." Robin concluded that this round, Henry had won.

I clenched my fists tightly, taking a deep breath. "He thinks he can profit from my child's death just like that? He's dreaming."

"I advise you, don't go head-to-head with him. You and Colin don't have the power to resist," Robin believed Colin and I were too vulnerable.
