Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 6

“Dexter… Phoebe doesn’t want you to marry me.” Melody sobbed as she spoke.

“Leave her alone. We’re gonna get hitched no matter what, and she’ll crawl back when she sees she’s out of moves.” Dexter assumed that I was deliberately throwing a wrench into his and

Melody’s engagement party.

He made it public like he couldn’t wait to shout it from the rooftops. He figured that once I realized I couldn’t change things. I’d back off and leave him alone. But what he didn’t know was that I had let him go for a long time.

If I were still alive, I’d probably be on a plane out of Sea City by now.

“Dexter… Why does Phoebe hate me so? She pushed me down the stairs, which nearly killed. me, and now she’s trying to wreck our engagement ceremony with these dirty tricks. Hailey would never agree to this if she knew,” Melody cried.

Dexter’s face turned even uglier. “What else can she do besides sweet–talk my mom with her tricks?”

I laughed sarcastically and couldn’t even be bothered to explain anymore. It’s not like he could hear anything’I said. He never listened to me when I was alive, let alone now that I was dead.

Looking down at my stomach, I could feel my very soul trembling. That unborn child just vanished along with me.
