Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 

I had found myself reborn into the body of a stranger out of the blue; everything around me was unfamiliar. 

This fool had a scent that felt known to me, yet no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t recall where it was from. 

After what felt like an eternity of insomnia, I finally succumbed to a deep, heavy sleep. 

When I woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day. 

“Madam…” The housekeeper walked in, bringing in my lunch. 

“Where’s Coli… Where’s Caleb?” I asked. 

The housekeeper glanced outside. “He’s been out since early morning.” 

I massaged my temples and got up to walk to the window walls. 

Colin hadn’t wandered off; he was sitting barefoot on the lawn, basking in the sunlight. 

I had to admit, he was breathtakingly perfect, a natural masterpiece, harmoniously one with the great outdoors. 

He swung his legs and lazily looked up, our gazes meeting just so. 

Instinctively, my heart tightened, and I stepped back, unsure why I felt the need to hide. 

When I approached the doors again, Colin was no longer in the yard. 

I stretched and sighed, still a bit dazed. 

Before I could gather my thoughts, arms wrapped around me from behind. 

“You’re awake.” Colin murmured softly. 

I was used to his sudden appearances. “I’ve told you not to wander with that injury on your foot; you should be using a wheelchair.” 

Colin hung his head like a chastised child. 

“Madam, the Larsons have called. Your father wants you to come home,” the housekeeper informed me. 

I was taken aback. Father? 

Foebe’s father, Anthony Larson? 

After my own parents died in a car crash, the concept of ‘parents‘ became foreign to me. Now reborn as Foebe, I was still adjusting to the idea that she indeed had parents. 

“I understand.” I replied. There was no use in hiding forever. 

Anthony had used Foebe’s marriage to get into the Langleys, and now that the Langley family

was in turmoil, he wouldn’t overlook their assets. Moreover, I was carrying a Langley heir. 

I could almost guess Anthony’s agenda without seeing him. 

“Phoebe, should I come with you?” Colin asked in a low voice. 

I shook my head. “I’ll go alone.” 

I needed to get a feel for the Larson family’s dynamics. 

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since I’d been reborn as Foebe, I had to embrace this identity and use it to survive. 

Being associated with the Langleys had put me in the spotlight, making survival that much harder. Too many in the Langley family did not wish for Colin, the baby, or me to live. 

Not only did I have to uncover the murderer and the truth, but I also had to ensure the safety of my child and me. 

Colin didn’t stop me but just held my hand. I calmed him with a lollipop and he took it with a smile. 

I realized that since the tragedy with Brendan and Samuel, Colin had become more cheerful.
