Can’t Win Me Back

A red sports car came to a stop in front of a club in the middle of the night. Amber stepped out of it

dressed in a skin-tight black dress, showing off her curves. Her bejeweled heels glinted in the light,

giving her a striking appearance overall.

"He’s still inside, Ms. Altman. I’ve been keeping watch all this while." A lackey walked over to Amber

from a dark corner.

Amber tied her hair into a bun before decorating it with a silver hair stick studded with a ruby. Her

beauty left the lackeys around her in awe.

"Wait outside and prepare to cover me."

Dim lights flashed in the club.

Amber gritted her teeth together as she moved amidst the people who were enjoying their night. Her

eyes were set on Axel who sat at the edge of the bar.

The closer she got to him, the harder her heart pounded. The pandemonium around her seemed to

disappear as if she was in a dream.

Amber gently touched her hair stick. If things went according to plan tonight, her beloved hair stick

would be used to end Axel’s life.

Amber soon came to a stop behind Axel.
