The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never by Gilbert Soysal

Right away, Amelie’s words made it all clear.

“Charlie, remember how you got to be the head of the Lust branch? I spoke highly of you to Wallace.

Charlie slowly raised his head, his face half-covered in blood.

“Yes.

”

“Good.

Amelie glanced at her nails, then looked back at Charlie.

“Jade Paradise doesn’t keep anyone around who doesn’t pull their weight.

I’ve overlooked your failures, time and again, all because of my faith in you.

But you’ve let the troublemakers get away.

Tell me, why should I keep you around any longer?”

Charlie seemed too drained to even lift his head.

With a raspy voice, he pleaded, “Madam… could you please give me one more chance?”
