Toying? Amber felt her racing heart skip a beat. Surrounded by Axel''s scent, she quickly lost her
passion. From Jameson to the tycoons she was forced to entertain, all men treated her like a ything,
and Axel was no different.
She was delusional to think he''d be special, but he disappointed her.
Suppressing the heartache, she shed a bitter smile with tears in her eyes. "Mr. Axel, you seem to be
in high spirits today. What do you wish to engage in? SM? 69?"
Her voice was reeking with sexual appeal, and so was her body. However, the look in Axel''s eyes
hardened. Holding her shoulders, he pressed her back against the tree bark.
He fixed his deep gaze on her face before staring at her chest, as though he was looking for a way to
her heart. "You look pretty lovely in the windbreaker."
Although his tone still had a yful edge, she blushed in embarrassment while attempting to remove
the windbreaker. Pressing against her hand, he stopped her and put the windbreaker back on. "Keep it.
It''s chilly today. You don''t want to catch a cold."
The warmth from his dry, calloused hand gave her a sense of security, causing a lump to form in her
throat. A teardrop escaped the corner of her eye.
Just as she was about to wipe the teardrop away, he suddenly grabbed her chin and lowered his head
to kiss the lone teardrop away.
A jolt of electricity surged across her body. Misty-eyed, she nearly lost her bnce from the electrifying
sensation. Her back started sliding down the tree bark, only for him to scoop her up and steady her
body.
His warm breath tickled her as he stroked her waist. "Tell me. What are you crying for?"
Panting gently. Then, she replied in a soft, monotonous voice, "That''s none of your business."
"Are you crying because I touched your heart with my kindness?" Tilting his head, he stared at her
while his breathing grew heavier.
From afar, their figures ovepped with each other as though they were one. It was a rather suggestive
scene. They did not cross a line, yet it felt like they had hit a home run.
"You''re not kind at all. You''re a jerk!" Without warning, she shoved him away and fled into the deep of
the forest without looking back. She sprinted like she was escaping.
She did not hear the sounds of footsteps behind her. It appeared that he did not run after her, and she
would much prefer that.
The delight and fear gripped her when he kissed away her tears. She thought, "Axel Taylor, please
don''t be too nice to me. You''ll regret it, I promise!"
Axel froze on the spot. Momentster, he slowly turned around and stared in another direction with a
chilling gaze. Alone in the silent woods, he thought, "When will you surrender your heart to me?" Lifting
a finger to rub his lips, he sensed the lingering warmth of her tears. "I can''t wait to close my. Not
only do I want to capture Jameson Schmidt, I''d like to capture you too."
Carl brought Amber to Jameson when she returned to the Millennium in the evening.
"Mr. Schmidt, are you looking for me?" she inquired.
On the balcony, Jameson was toying with a colorful parrot trapped in a golden cage. Amber dared not
say another word in his silence.

He began, "On the day of Lauren Beckett''s abduction..."
His words set off an rm in her mind. "... Angelina Brands, the woman who worked for Landon
Harper, tracked down Lauren in no time.
"Were you the one who leaked the intel?"
Though she kept herposure, she felt like she was plummeting into an endless abyss.
"On that day, you and Remy ambushed Cyrus and Angelina and got into a fight." Squinting, Jameson
plucked a crimson feather off the parrot, eliciting an agonizing squawk and fluttering of wings from the
distressed bird. "I trust Remy—he''s my trusted confidant. So, I have no choice but to suspect you."
