My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Xanthea pushed him away forcefully and dashed to grab her phone.

But, no sooner had she moved than Orion cought her from behind, pulling her back into a tight embrace again.

Onon clung to her waist, closing his eyes as he fought the overwhelming desire, his hot lips kissing her hair incessantly. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Baby, my baby”

The word “baby” made Xanthea’s face bum red as if it was heated

Even though she knew he was……..

Could he not hold it back? Uncle was night at the door.

It seemed he had sensed her thoughts: Onion’s voice was deep and husky, with a plea in his tone, “Give me a moment.”

Xanthea blinked her innocent eyes, aware of what he needed a moment for

“It’s odd”

At the door of Room 3002. Oliver tried calling Xanthea again but couldn’t get through. He muttered in confusion, “Didn’t Ryan say Xan was at Sunset Hills Estates? Maybe she went back home on a

a whim?”

wm 3001 opened.

He hung up the phone Just as he was about to call Samuel, “Ding- the door of Room

Oliver saw a well–dressed coming from inside. The man had a suspicious flush on his face, as if he had been interrupted in the midst of something pleasant, and looked quite displeased. Oliver was taken aback “Chairman Lockwood? You live here too?”

“Mr. Lopez, are you looking for Ms. Nightshade?”

“Yes, yes!”

His voice was calm, but it barely masked the roughness underneath. It was clear that he had been immersed in something before being abruptly disturbed

“Did I interrupt your sleep. Chairman Lockwood?”

“No, I just got back I saw Ms. Nightshade dining downstairs earlier, shall I take you here?”

Oliver replied. “That’s too kind of you, just tell me the name of the restaurant!”

1 forgot it’s late now, I better take you there.”

Checking the time and seeing it was nearly eleven, with Xan not answering her phone, Oliver grew anxious and nodded, “Okay!” As he stepped into the elevator with a man with the undefinable air of tension and emotion, his mind raced with thoughts. Chairman Lockwood liked Xan, that was clear from their interaction at the Realm of Musions event, and Xan seemed to have feelings for him as well. He had noticed it last time, but he couldn’t figure out when they became neighbors, whether it was coincidental or intentional, and how far their relationship had progressed.

He had to asked Xan when he saw her

Five minutes later, with no more sounds from outside, Xanthea slipped into Room 3002 and dove into her bed.

She covered her burning cheeks, embarrassed by the scenes that they had just rehearsed.

When she was getting flustered about her feelings for Onion, it turned out he liked her too!

And it seemed he really, really liked her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have called her name with such passion, and just from a hug he was.

She used her Hello Kitty plush to cover her face, and couldn’t help but smiled.

When had he started liking her? During the Realm of illusions rehearsals? At the time when she took care of him while he was sick? Or before that….

In her past life, he was clearly infatuated with Miranda Moure, even spending a fortune to support her career in the entertainment industry

This time around, was it because she had meddled with Miranda and altered her course, leaving no time for them to get together, and with her constantly around, that fie couldn’t resist her charm. Haha!

Xanthea giggled like a fool, when she suddenly realized something serious and sat up abruptly.
