âAh!â
âYou scared me to death. Orion, is that you?â
âWhen did you get back? How come I didnât hear a thing?â
Xanthea patted her startled chest, exhaling a relieved breath, âWhat a coincidence, I finally managed to get a break from the film set, and here you are!â
âItâs only ten oâclock, still early. Can I come over to your place for some late-night snacks?â
âWhat are you holding? Do you have work tonight?â
It had been days since she last saw him, and upon seeing him, Xanthea chattered joyfully, only to notice after a while that the man in front of her had a dark, ominous look on his face, his presence chilling like eternal ice, sending a shiver down her spine.
âOrion, whatâs wrong? Did something upset you?â
âSo everyone can, but not me, is that it?â
Orion looked at her; his gaze was piercing and cold, reminiscent of the chilling sharpness when he first saw her body in that old crypt.
Xanthea was both puzzled and frightened by his stare, âWhat do you mean by âcanâ or âcannotâ? Orion, what are you talking about?â
However, he didnât answer her, brushing past her with a chill that felt like a blade slicing through her cheek.
As he was about to enter Room 3001, Xanthea grabbed his arm, âHey, what do you mean by that?â
âMs. Nightshade, as a fiancée, do you think itâs appropriate to have a secret rendezvous with another man in the middle of the night?â Orion turned around, his dark eyes suddenly bursting with a chilling intensity that seemed to devour her alive.
Xanthea was stunned by his shout, with a look of total bewilderment on her face.
Why was he calling her Ms. Nightshade again?
Wait, the main issue seems to be âsecret rendezvous with a man in the middle of the nightâ?
The loud slam of the door startled Xanthea, and. She quickly realized what he meantâcould it be Benjamin?
My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace ï¤Chapter 212 Did he think she brought Benjamin to Sunset Hills Estates for a secret rendezvous, and he caught them red-handed?
His thoughts are so vile!
âBang, bang, bang!â
âBang, bang, bang!â
Xanthea, frustrated, kept banging on the door of 3001, shouting, âHey, Orion, come out and explain yourself! Whoâs having a secret rendezvous in the middle of the night?â
âIt was only ten oâclock, how is that considered the middle of the night?â
âAnd, Benjamin was just here to discuss the script with me, and you twisted it into an affair? Donât you think youâre being a bit paranoid?â
Although, the way Benjamin touched her head before leaving was weird. Orion couldnât have misunderstood just because of that, could he?
âOrion, sometimes what you see isnât always the truth. As a leader of a corporation, donât you know that?â
âOpen the door, open the door right now!â
Behind the door, a man engulfed in jealousy and despair, his gaze distorted with madness, listened to her urgent cries. His knuckles turned white and creaked ominously on the door handle, yet he didnât open the door.
His jealousy was driving him insane, fearing that a moment of lost sanity might lead him to irreparably harm her.
âFine, you wonât open the door, huh?â
Xanthea looked down, entering a series of numbers, âLuckily, I was preparedâhaving secretly memorized your password, otherwise I might have been wronged tonight.â
âPassword is correctââ
With a click, the smart door opened.
