My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 58

"I've never tried his cooking," she said, shaking her head and scooping up a spoonful of Refreshing Delight into her mouth. "Why do you suddenly ask about him?"

"The Nightshade and Martinez union is the talk of Crestwood. Ms. Nightshade, aren't you set to get engaged to him on October 6th?"

He knew he shouldn't have brought it up, let alone continue, but he simply couldn't control himself.

Xanthea looked at him in surprise. She thought a business mogul like him wouldn't care about such trivial high society gossip, yet here he was, knowing the details down to the exact date.

"Yes."

October 6th wasn't just her engagement day; it was also the anniversary of her past life's demise!

That night, dressed in a pristine wedding gown, she had been pushed from the rooftop by a treacherous pair, her blood staining the ground, a sight still vivid in her memory.

This time around, it would be Matthew and Miranda's turn.

Once the hidden cameras she had installed captured their illicit affair, their engagement day would mark their public disgrace!

The thought thrilled Xanthea. She looked at Orion, recalling their encounter in the cemetery.

To this day, she didn't understand why Orion had dug up her grave, carried away her body, and killed Matthew and Miranda. But one thing was certain: he too despised that deceitful couple. Since this was the case, misery loves company!

"Orion, would you come to my engagement?" she asked, her words slicing through the air like a poisoned blade, exposing his deepest fears and darkest horrors.

Orion's usually gentle eyes suddenly frosted over, turning into a dark, endless abyss, void of any light, sending a chill down her spine.
