Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2010 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 in the dark. "What other nasty deals have you cut with him? Be honest!" Axel raised an amused brow at her move. Given his social standing, he could easily court the daughters of esteemed families or even the royal princess. However, none of them caught his eye, as he wasn't interested in a woman's background. Living with

cynicism, he never had much interest in romance.

All he wanted was an untethered, thrilling life.

At first, the challenge Amber posed to him gave him an adrenaline rush. As time passed, he found himself addicted to the sensation and thus had the urge to see her.

That night, his feelings reached a new level. In the past, he wasn't too bothered by Amber flirting and entertaining men. However, he could no longer tolerate it, which was why he showed up at the villa.
