Yet, for Amber, all those garments served only to gratify Jameson's visual desires and subsequently shed for the pleasure of other men.
Was there anyone who really cared or worried for her? Was there?
That said, there was no turning back for her. She no longer had any right to choose.
She and Axel were destined to be enemies. They were also fated to be people from two different worlds.
Amber took a deep breath, then wiped away the tear from the corner of her eye.
Just as she was about to shut the door, a hand suddenly appeared and held onto the side of the door. Through the gap, she noticed a pair of dark and familiar eyes!
"Carl?" Amber felt her chest tighten. She immediately hid the gastric medication behind her back.
"You are still alive, Ms. Altman. Thank heavens!"
Carl forced the door open and stormed into the room, slamming Amber to the wall in the process.
Following behind him were two other subordinates. They entered the room and pulled out their guns silently. The crafty looks on their faces were like those of the special agents in spy movies.
Amber spoke up coldly, "Axel is not here. He's gone."
"He's gone? You didn't kill him?"
Carl looked shocked. "What were you two doing last night then? Hooking up?"
Amber's head was heavy and painful. She held her head as she tried to catch her breath. "I'm not sure… I had too much to drink. I can barely remember what happened afterward."
"You even had drinks with him? Do you know who he is?"
In his rage, the look in Carl's eyes turned dark.
He chided, "Ms. Altman, all these years, you have always been cautious whenever you carry out tasks for Mr. Schmidt. You hardly ever make any mistakes. What happened this time? This is so unlike you!"
"What are you trying to say? Are you suspicious of me right now? If there were something between me and him, I wouldn't have come to him alone last night. I was even wearing…"
Amber weaved her fingers through her dark hair. Her heart stopped.
The hair stick… Her hair stick!
He had just installed a GPS tracking device at the bottom of that car just now. At that moment, his phone screen was showing a clear indicator of their current location.
It was a quiet and peaceful forest. Little did he expect that there would be a majestic-looking clubhouse hidden deep in there!
Amber and Carl got out of the car. They entered the passcode at the door, and it opened. Then, they walked in.
The sun had set, and there was no one else around.
Axel stood in the forest with a glum look on his face.
He unfurled his fingers, revealing a delicate, silver hair stick in his palm. Under the moonlight, he fumbled with the tip of the hair stick.
There was a click, and the part with the ruby opened. In it, very much to his astonishment, was a deadly poison—chloride!
Axel scoffed. "That sneaky little thing. How dare she play tricks?"
Axel squinted. He had a fearlessly cunning look in his eyes. He curled his lips into an amused smile and said, "Oh, missy. Our meeting was the beginning of your tragedy."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
