Semua Bab Can't Win Me Back: Bab 2001 - Bab 2010

It was business as usual for Amber at The Millennium. Not only that, she worked harder than before to gain Jameson's favor.At the same time, she had not given up on gathering criminal evidence against Jameson. The road might be difficult, and she might even risk everything in the process, but she was determined to see it through.It was the day of the month when Amber volunteered at the orphanage. She woke up early in the morning, put on her volunteer uniform, and brought the gifts for the kids before driving out in haste."Ms. Altman, you're here early!""Good morning, Ms. Altman!""How have you been, Ms. Altman?"The teachers and volunteers went up to greet her. She was popular among the people at the orphanage.She greeted everyone and distributed her handmade snacks."Wow! Ms. Altman, you're back with your apple pies! We love it!" Some younger volunteers could not help but take a bite of the pies in front of her. They beamed in satisfaction. "Ms. Altman, too bad you're onl

Though Amber tried to kick Axel out, he shamelessly stuck around. However, he merely observed her from a distance without disrupting her work.He watched as she joined the cooks to prepare food. Despite her petite frame, she stirred the food in the industrial cooking pots with ease. She harvested, washed, and cut the vegetables expertly, as if it were second nature.With his arms folded across his chest, Axel became engrossed in her actions. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to her cheek. Despite her disheveled appearance while working, he found her beauty captivating.Every time they crossed paths, she carried herself like a flawless masterpiece, catching the attention of the opposite sex. However, Axel found her prettier in her current state—more vibrant and real.As Amber's "friend", Axel was invited to lunch with the other kids when food was served. Amber stood in a line with two other teachers to serve food."Thank you, Ms. Altman!" The kids

Amber returned to the laundry room after helping the teacher.Upon her return, she was forced up against the wall by Axel, who pressed his body against her and stared into her eyes.Her heart was beating uncontrollably. Drawn into his bright and sharp gaze, she found herself falling helplessly for him.She longed for a ray of light to shine through the cracks and illuminate her dark life. His eyes turned out to be the source of light she had been searching high and low for."Ms. Altman, did you leave something behind just now?" he teased her in a low chuckle that ended with a seductive lilt."What…" Her voice trailed off. She grabbed the edge of the wall firmly as her heart pounded like a drum.Grinning, he casually brushed his nose tip against hers. The gentle and cheeky move resembled the touch of a lover. Suddenly, he rasped, "You left my heart behind."Amber, whose heart had been racing, broke into laughter. Axel raised a quizzical brow at her. "Tsk! What are you laughing at

At midnight, Amber arrived at a countryside villa in her sportscar. She had changed into a flaming red slit dress and styled her long, dark hair into a bun that was held together by a golden hairpin.Her style, classic and alluring, was to Jameson's taste. However, she was dressed to the nines for a nasty deal. She ran her cold fingertips through the hem of her dress and chuckled bitterly. What a waste of high-grade silk and top-notch tailoring! Her perfect attire and her dignity would end up being trampled by the beasts she would host.She received a video call from Wesley when she was about to leave her car. The video call was their preferred way of communication as it was impossible to be tapped."Wesley," she began with a forced smile."Ms. Altman, are you about to…" Wesley choked up emotionally at the sight of her beauty. As an employee at The Millennium, he knew what that would signify."What's the matter? Is everything alright?" Amber hurriedly shifted the topic of conver

Amber stared in shock at Axel's confident expression. Her heart was racing, and she thought she had misheard. In her 25 years of life, she was nothing but an accessory to Jameson—a disposable tool in his business dealings.She had never owned anything to her name. To her surprise, Axel made the wild claim that he was her man. She replayed his words in her mind.The Tsulu man cussed loudly and attempted to snatch the gun from the ground, only to be shot twice—one in the left shoulder and the other in his right leg. He howled in pain and fell onto his knees.Seeing that, Amber snatched the man's gun and held it firmly before aiming it at him. The man finally faltered and begged for mercy. It seemed that men, when naked, were in their most vulnerable state. He pleaded, "Don't! Don't shoot me!""Spit it out! What are the drugs that Jameson Schmidt gave to you? Are they common drugs or narcotics?" Shedding off her usual coyness, Amber looked furious, like a beast that had been crouching
