Axel tiptoed over to the bed when he heard Amber's shallow breathing after she fell asleep. Kneeling on one knee by the bed, he studied her lovely sleeping face.
Moments later, he mumbled in a low voice, "You're not like Lyse." Amber probably overheard him. Her lashes fluttered gently as tears crept to her eyes.
Axel gulped upon seeing her tears and thought of wiping them away, only to withdraw his hand and head toward the balcony forlornly.
When Amber woke up groggily the next morning, Axel had left. She sat up in her comfortable sheets and paused in shock when she found Axel's black windbreaker draping across the blanket. He had clearly left it behind for her.

The last time, he left her sgastric medication after recalling her gastric issues. This time, he knew that she didn't have enough clothes on her because she left in haste, so he lent her his windbreaker.
"Pfft. He's still as caring as ever. Whoever gets to marry him will be the happiest woman ever." Chuckling, Amber ran her trembling fingertips through the fabric of the black windbreaker.
Sitting up in bed, she had the urge to get sair and enjoy the breeze on the balcony. When she pulled open the floor-to- ceiling doors, she felt an electrifying jolt. The cigarette stubs that scattered across the floor were proof that Axel hadn't slept at all.
Last night, Carl and his men tailed Axel's car. Not only did they lose Axel, but they ended up crashing two of their luxurious cars due to his excellent drifting techniques.
Jameson had given orders to bring Amber back. Because of that, Carl anxiously searched high and low for Amber. However, his search was futile because Axel might have checked into a hotel under a fake identity. Therefore, he returned to Jameson empty- handed.
That snight, Jameson had an outburst and smashed things in his room, which puzzled Carl. After all, Jameson had always used Amber like a tool and never had any real feelings for her. Why the overreaction then? It gave off the wrong impression as if he cared for Amber very much.
Just when everyone at The Millennium was shaking in fear, Amber walked through the entrance with a look of calm. She went up to Jameson with a bare face, which was uncharacteristic of her, but she radiated an innocent beauty.
Her bare face reminded him of the twhen Amber had not yet been molded into Alyssa Taylor's substitute. The look in his eyes dimmed. Soon, the black windbreaker on her caught his eyes.
"Axel left this for me,” she admitted openly. "Do | need to take it off so you could burn it?"

"It's just a piece of clothing. Since it's his gift, you can have it. I'm not that petty." Jameson leaned lopsidedly on the couch,resting his head on his fist and his arm on the armrest. He gave her a cynical look. "Did you guys fuck?" She shook her head, looking a little amused. "No. Axel isn't any ordinary man. He's not going to take the bait that easily."
" Hah. Nah, he's taken the bait.
Jameson chuckled in disdain.As a man, I could tell what's on his mind.
He caught feelings for you the moment he decided to leave the windbreaker with you." Amber's heart raced when she heard Jameson's remark. Her hands curled into fists in the windbreaker pockets.
" Well done, Amber. Keep up the good job and make him fall head over heels for you. Then, you will kill him with your own hands"
