My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 147

"Come on, talk to me! I'm really worried about you, seriously worried. Just tell me where you are, I'll come pick you up!"

"Xan! Xan? Xan?"

Though the call connected, no one spoke.

After a deathly long silence, Matthew seemed to sense something and paused for a few seconds, "Mr. Lockwood, is that you?"

The sound of fabric rustling and a girl's faint whisper suddenly carried over.

Orion, in front of the glowing phone screen, madly kissed Xanthea's pale, slender neck amidst his anxious words of concern.

Matthew faintly heard a moan too hard to bear, and his mind exploded.

He didn't care that the person on the other end might be the powerful Crestwood tycoon, nor did he care about any potential retaliation; all he knew was that Xanthea was his girlfriend and off-limits to anyone else!

Clutching the phone tightly, he burst out, "Orion! Is that you, Orion? What are you doing to Xan? Let her go! Right now! Taking advantage of a girl, what kind of gentleman does that make you?"

"Have you lost your mind? She's my love, my fiancée, what you're doing is criminal, I could sue you!"

His threats were unheeded, his anxious pacing suddenly stopped, "Or, do you just like the challenge? Knowing full well Xan despises you, finds you repulsive."

A thunderous crash came through, making Matthew's ears ring.

He froze, then his phone clattered to the ground. It was Orion, it really was Orion!
