Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace



They exploited her kindness, and in the end, it backfired, hurting themselves and those kids.

"That Colin, he's a madman," James gritted his teeth.

"That fire years ago, it's a miracle it didn't finish him off!" James seethed with hatred. "How are us decent students supposed to live with people like him around? Us regular folks can't ever measure up to these geniuses. Geniuses shouldn't even exist."

His envy was palpable, blaming Colin and Carter's brilliance for their own lack of success.

"Just because they're geniuses, all these wealthy folks rushed to the orphanage to adopt them. It was the Langley family, for crying out loud. Who wouldn't want to be a Langley? But they chose Colin. Even if Colin was a secret Langley child, what about Carter? Why did that waste of space get all the attention?"

"Do you have any idea how much we hate them?" James began unbuttoning my shirt with a fury. "Back then, it was fashionable for high-society to adopt from orphanages, like it was some sort of charity that brought them more benefits..."

"The orphanage teachers, the principal, all the kids were so happy, thinking they'd get chosen. But who did they come for? Colin and Carter!"

James was losing his mind.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"With geniuses around, who would choose you?" James's buddy mocked as he approached, wanting a piece of the action. "What's the matter, can't get that shirt off? Hurry up, I've already called our guys, they'll be here in half an hour. Don't waste time, you're up next."

I clenched my teeth, anger building in my chest, trying not to make any sudden moves.

As they undid my clothes, I couldn't stand it anymore. "James, you're disgusting!"

I struggled, but my hands were already tied.

James was startled when I woke up, then turned to grab some chloroform, intending to knock me out again.

"Hey, it's more fun when she's

awake. No one's coming to save her,

and being passed out is boring," his

n

buddy said with a lewd smile, starting to undress me. "Pretty face nice body... married to loser, can he even satisfy you?"

"Don't touch me!" Panic set in. If no one came to save me, I was doomed.

Tears burned in my eyes, and for some reason... I always thought of Colin in times of danger.

Maybe because Colin was always silently watching over me.

"Colin... save me." I cried out Colin's name as they tore my clothes.

The man tried to spread my legs, and I cried out in despair, struggling, kicking him hard.

"Smack!" He slapped me, losing patience. "Damn it. Keep moving and I'll kill you."

I cried, pulling at the ropes binding me, but James pinned down my wrists.

He sneered at me, hopelessness washing over me.

"Hmph, if it weren't for that madman Colin, we would've had Phoebe

Caldwell by now... A genius's woman, we can't touch Phoebe Caldwell, and you're no different," James's words dripped with sarcasm and mockery.

My head buzzed painfully.

Phoebe Caldwell... Did those men at the orphanage hurt Phoebe Caldwell too?

"Back then, I remember Melody tricked Phoebe Caldwell into going to the back of the orphanage, saying Colin was hurt. She actually believed it, ha!" James boasted to his buddy.

"That time Fanny whipped up some

drug, and we used it on Phoebe Caldwell. Just covered her mouth and nose, and she was out quick," James grabbed my chin, smirking. "Same drug we used on you."
