My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 120

“What are you doing?”

Xanthea lifted her head, her eyes wide with alarm, as if she were staring at a ruthless kidnapper.

Ever since she got into the car, he had locked her in without explanation, and now he had her strapped to the seat, planning to take her to some remote area in the Everglades to spend the night. If this wasn’t the behavior of a kidnapper, what was?

She thought crazed fans were scary enough, but he was proving to be even worse!

“It’s dangerous to behave like this on the highway, Ms. Nightshade.”

“I think you’re the dangerous one here! Let me go, drop me off at a rest stop, or else I’m calling my uncle to tell him you’ve actually kidnapped me!”

Orion looked at her, a faint smirk appearing in his deep eyes. “Go ahead, but do you really think Mr. Lopez will believe you, Ms. Nightshade?”

Xanthea’s heart skipped a beat, recalling the story of the boy who cried wolf. Especially since her uncle trusted Orion so much, he would surely think she was just playing pranks again. It infuriated her!

She wished she could record his sinister smirk right now and show her uncle what kind of person he really was!

“Orion, are you doing this on purpose? To get back at me for biting you earlier?”

“You’re overthinking it, Ms. Nightshade.”

Orion opened his laptop and began to review some contract documents seriously, seemingly no longer interested in engaging with her.

Seeing him disregard her like she was nothing, Xanthea felt a surge of anger and wanted to bite him again, but trapped in his car, she had no choice but to bow her head.

“Orion, if you let me go now, we can call it even. From here on out, we keep to our own paths, okay?”

“Hey, are you even listening to me?”
