Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2174

Amber was being held hostage by Carl as he retreated toward the back of the church in an attempt to escape. However, there was nowhere for him to run.

The church was surrounded by the police on all sides. Carl was already at the end of his rope. He was at a dead end!

Amber rasped, "You can't escape. It's over for both you and Jameson."
