Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 481

Naomi looked at me, her laughter filling the air. "The organization is a vast network, spanning across every country with different individuals in charge of various projects and subjects."

"The one at the top, it could be me, or it could be you. Without the proper credentials, you can't even dream of contacting him directly.

The drug coursed through my body, blurring my consciousness.

I knew... they were taking me away.

The tycoons behind the organization couldn't wait to verify the truths about rebirth from me...
