Can’t Win Me Back

The rooftop air was so thick it felt stagnant.

Overwhelming pressure and fear made Carl tremble.

Even his gun-holding hand shook uncontrollably.

He hesitated to disengage the safety, fearing a panicked misfire.

Even now, with no way out, he had never thought of taking Amber's life.

As long as there was a sliver of hope, he wanted to take Amber away with him.

Tragedy was imminent, and he knew it was now every man for himself.

Jameson no longer cared about him.

At a crucial juncture, Jameson would even sell him out.

He was confident in his wits and ability to escape unpunished to a faraway land.

Amber had brought him to this state.

He wanted to give the woman he loved a wedding —a beautiful beginning.

Even a rat in the sewers craves the sun for a moment.

He had to keep her alive.
