Chapter 224: Amber's Fate

In a dimly lit alley filled with secret brothels, Amber struggled to stand in the cramped, damp room. Her legs were weak and trembling, barely able to shuffle along the wall for support.

The fabric she intended for her suicide was now used to tie her to the bed. The people who beat her showed no mercy, not caring that she was already battered and bruised.

As the door opened to admit a short, dark man, despair filled her eyes...
