Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2416

Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face. Remy had let her go. He actually spared her!

Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?

Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence-this incredible news!

Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.

Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched.

Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her.

The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything she was surrounded, the target of an ambush.

Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.

Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gloom like the eyes of hungry hyenas.

With the lights focusing on her, there was no escape. The only path to survival was through them.

Amber's eyes burned with determination as she charged forward. Her dagger slashed through the neck of the nearest assassin, a swift and brutal strike.

She moved with desperate precision, aiming for vital points. Her unexpected ferocity startled the man, who had clearly underestimated her.

His flashlight clattered to the ground, and blood gushed from his neck.

Amber seized the opening, surging ahead without hesitation. After all, this might very well be her only chance. It wasn't just her survival it was about delivering the evidence she carried.

She didn't know how many more enemies lay in wait, but an ominous sense of doom weighed heavily on her chest. She doubted she'd make it back alive tonight.

When she realized no one was immediately behind her, Amber pulled the evidence from her pocket. Hastily, she dug a hole beneath a tree with her dagger and buried the items.

Carving an "X" into the tree trunk, she then moved to the side to make a call to Alyssa.

Alyssa answered after a couple of rings. Her voice was gentle though tinged with exhaustion. "Ambs?"

Amber was just about to speak when a gunshot rang out.

The bullet tore into her left arm, knocking her phone from her grasp. It tumbled down the slope, out of reach.

On the other end of the line, Alyssa heard the deafening bang. The rustling noises that followed were cut off as the call ended abruptly.

A chill ran down Alyssa's spine. She bolted upright in bed, her heart racing as she tried to call Amber back.

No response.

Her chest tightened, and her palms grew clammy.

Was that a gunshot?novelbin

What had happened to Amber?

Because of her company's project, Alyssa was spending the night at the manor in Solana City instead of Heightsnew Villa. She didn't dare contact Axel yet. Instead, she called Clark.

"Ms. Alyssa," Clark answered promptly.

"Is Ms. Altman staying at our place tonight?" Alyssa's voice was thick with urgency, her throat dry and strained.

"Yes, she's been here the past two days."
