Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 365

I glared at him with all the bitterness I could muster.

"So... you people... don't deserve to live."

His hands were wrapped around my neck, making it hard for me to breathe.

His buddy had already started to unbuckle his belt, and despair filled my heart.

I knew no one was coming to save me...

Damian was too meticulous. Since it was Damian who had James bring me here, the chances of the police or Colin finding me were slim.

My legs hurt from how tightly the man was holding them, the cold touch almost driving me to despair.

The memories of being bullied by Dexter and his gang in my past life slowly crept up, suffocating me.

"I'll... kill you..." I cried out in despair, feeling sick to my stomach when he touched me.

Don't touch me.

In that moment, I had only one thought.

Don't touch me, you're filthy.

Colin...

I cried out Colin's name, desperately praying for someone to save me.

"Bang!" The metal door was kicked open.

James and his buddy were startled, pants halfway down, warily looking towards the door.

I fell off the wooden bed in despair, my hands still tied above me.

I thought it might be someone coming to save me.

But it wasn't.

It was one of their own.

A man with sunglasses and tattoos up to his neck got out of the car.

He looked menacing, with a lip ring and a tall stature, his hair tied up.

He stepped out, his wide shirt only buttoned once, his muscular body covered in tattoos.

"I'm here for the goods," the man spoke, his voice deep.

James and his buddy breathed a sigh of relief, cursing. "If it's for the goods, then get it, why the hell didn't you knock?"

The man's gaze fell on me.
