Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 463

Colin frowned deeply, finally hitting back, glaring at Melody with fury. "Is your head filled with garbage? Is that why every time you open your mouth, nonsense comes spewing out? If you can't keep up, maybe it's best you don’t embarrass yourself!”

Colin was livid. Hannah had accused him of having ties with some shady organization, and he hadn't batted an eye. But when Melody suggested he had 'created' her, it struck a nerve. He felt it was an insult to his intelligence and emotions.

Truth be told, I'd seldom seen Colin this enraged, even resorting to curse words.

Usually, he's the type who'd rather not speak a word if he could help it.

Melody, on the receiving end of Colin’s wrath, turned a shade of ash. "Struck a nerve, did I? Hit too close to home with the truth..."

Colin couldn’t be bothered to engage any further with Melody. Arguing with her felt like a waste of breath.

"Foebe Larson pretending to be Phoebe Caldwell, using a child as leverage, tied to a kidnapping and trafficking case. It's all about to unravel, and then, the truth will emerge clear as day," Dexter said, clenching his fists as if a wave of understanding crashed over him, his gaze seething at Colin.

"Caleb, no matter how well you mask it, you can't hide forever. Sooner or later, I'll rip off your disguise and expose your misdeeds for all to see in the light of day," Dexter was convinced Colin was at the heart of this mess.

Then, Dexter’s gaze fell on me, full of unspoken words.

I ignored him, gripping Colin's hand tightly instead.
