My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 313

"???"

Previously disobedient, thinking of running away with someone else? Is he hinting at her and Matthew? So, this chain, was he really planning to use it to tie her up?!

She thought he was joking.

She didn't dare imagine if she hadn’t come to see him today. Would they have ended up meeting in some dark, windowless basement tonight, just like Maximus kidnapping Phoenix? What a creep!

But, what's even creepier is, she was pushing at his legs for a while, urging him to get up, but Orion didn't move.

Xanthea: Regretting it now, is it too late to dump this psycho boyfriend?

"Being raised by you and still thinking of running away, that's a bit ungrateful."

Samuel chuckled, clearly picturing a confused little pet not realizing its owner is the wealthiest man in Crestwood, wondering where it could find such a privileged life elsewhere.

Xanthea: Samuel, stop insulting me!

"Hmm."

Orion glanced at the fuming girl, a subtle smile tugging at his lips, "I'll make sure it learns its lesson."

Xanthea bared her teeth and extended her sharp claws, scratching his pant leg.

"It's getting late." Samuel checked his watch, surprised at how long they'd chatted, "I need to get back to see Xan; I've missed her terribly these past few days."

"I'll walk you out, Mr. Nightshade."

The sound of their steady footsteps faded away, and Xanthea finally relaxed, crawling out from under the desk.

"Phew."

Having a legitimate boyfriend yet having to hide, felt like getting caught in an affair!
