This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death.
Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense.
Between them, no words were needed.
"Damien… Thank you…"
Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.
The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.
If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?
"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."
Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his rough hands over hers for the first time, squeezing tightly.
"So, hold on a little longer. Give me time to find a way."
Amber's heart pounded, warmth seeping through the cracks of her despair. She closed her eyes briefly, silently telling him she understood and trusted him.
She had already been on the brink. More than once, she had considered biting her tongue just to end it all. But his words gave her something to cling to. Even if he failed, she wouldn't blame him.
Her life meant little.
But getting Damien back—bringing him to his senses and helping him recover his memories—mattered far more.
A sharp, rhythmic clacking of heels echoed down the corridor, growing closer.
Someone was coming—fast.
It was Sheryl.
Remy's eyes darkened. He lifted a finger to his lips, signaling Amber to stay silent.
Then, with a swift motion, he grasped her collar and yanked it open, baring much of her body to his view. Placing a knee beside her on the bed, he leaned down.
The steel door crashed open.
Sheryl stood in the doorway, a storm of fury radiating from her. Two of her black-clad subordinates flanked her.

Can u post more chapters as promised for 7 chapters a day. Enjoyed the story very much. Hope all is well and thank you in advance....
HI. I am stuck on 2454 for over 3 months now. Will there be any more chapters or we just have to stop waiting for it and forget about this book....
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
