The air was thick with smoke and the metallic scent of blood. Renee lay sprawled on the cold ground, gasping as the breath was violently knocked from her lungs. Her face had turned a ghostly pale, her heart pounding like thunder in her chest as she struggled to process what had just unfolded before her eyes.
But Liam? Liam was still standing. Or rather, he was pushing himself up from the protective cover he had found, brushing off his clothes as casually as if he'd just taken a short nap.
The two men in white lab coats slumped lifelessly on the floor, dark red pools forming beneath them. They had been the surgeons—the ones everyone assumed were part of the medical team at Benjamin's compound. But Liam, ever calculating, ever prepared, had seen through the charade. He had positioned himself behind them at the perfect moment, using their bodies as human shields when the gunfire erupted.
"Miss Renee, stop crying," Liam said softly, and there was an almost infuriating calm in his voice. "I'm still alive..."
Renee finally let out the breath she had been holding, tears mixing with sweat and grime on her face. But her relief was short-lived, because the rage emanating from Benjamin was far from over.
Liam turned his gaze toward the older man, a hint of sardonic amusement flickering in his eyes. "Master, you're a bit cruel to your disciple. If it weren't for these two unfortunate men, I would be dead by now." He gestured casually at the bodies on the floor, as if discussing the weather rather than two men who had just been murdered.
Benjamin was livid. His face contorted with fury, veins bulging at his temples. The young man who had once been his most trusted disciple—the very man his daughter loved—had humiliated him again. And this time, he was determined not to let Liam walk away.
"How dare you fool me!" Benjamin roared, his voice shaking the very walls. "Aim your guns at him. Fire again!"
The armed guards raised their weapons, their fingers hovering over the triggers, ready to unleash hell upon the man who had made a fool of their master for the last time.
But before they could fire, a figure moved with lightning speed. Amber spread her arms out wide, placing herself squarely between the guns and Liam. Her chin lifted, her eyes blazing with a determination that silenced even her father's rage.
"No, you can't do that!" Her voice rang out clear and unwavering. "Dad, it looks like you don't want your daughter anymore. Go ahead and fire. I'll die with Liam!"
Time seemed to freeze. The world around them fell into a deadly silence, broken only by the ragged breaths of those watching. Benjamin's eyes widened, his fury mixing with disbelief.
Benjamin had only one child. One daughter whom he had protected, spoiled, and loved above anyone else. Even a ruthless man like him had a heart, and Amber owned every piece of it.
"Damn it! You're driving me mad!" he snarled, pointing a trembling finger at her. "Come here now! He doesn't even love you, yet you're willing to die for him? What are you trying to get out of this?"
Amber didn't flinch. Her voice was soft but carried the weight of absolute conviction. "I don't want anything. I'll be fine as long as Liam is fine. I'll be happy as long as he is. If he dies here in your hands... then I'll take my own life and die with him immediately. Try it if you don't believe me."
And to prove her point, she produced the very dagger she had once gifted to Liam. Its blade gleamed in the dim light as she pressed it firmly against her own throat.
"Go on! Give it a try!"
The tension in the room became unbearable. Mateo, who had been watching with growing panic, stepped forward, his usually calm demeanor showing cracks of desperation.
"Master, please! Amber looks gentle, but she's a tough one. I don't believe she's bluffing," Mateo pleaded, his voice shaking. "Please don't force her. If she becomes desperate..."
But Benjamin hardened his heart. His pride had been wounded too many times tonight. "Let her take her own life if she's that desperate! I'll forget about that child! It's fine as long as I have my foster sons! It's my fault—I protected her too much and raised an indecisive fool! She interferes with my affairs, so I'd better give her up!"
The words were poison, meant to cut deep. And cut they did. But Amber didn't waver. Her hands trembled, yet her grip on the dagger remained steady against her skin.
Mateo, risking his master's wrath, tried again. "Master, don't say things out of spite! This is just her first time falling in love, and she fell for a man who doesn't deserve her love. She did nothing wrong. Please give her another chance. When she matures and becomes wiser, she'll understand your ways. Please, I'm begging you..."
But Benjamin remained unmoved. His breathing was heavy, his eyes wild with a mixture of anger and heartbreak.
Amber took a slow step back, tears streaming silently down her cheeks. Her voice broke as she tried one final appeal. "Dad, I'm an ungrateful child. I failed to become the kind of daughter you're proud of. I don't care if you hate me—I just want you to let them go." Her tears fell faster, each word carrying the weight of a daughter who knew she was losing her father's love forever. "I'll use my life as a bargaining chip. I'm begging you, please let them go..."
Benjamin stared at her, his chest heaving.
Amber's voice hardened, thick with despair. "On the count of three, I'll slash my neck if you don't let them go."
"You're lying!" Benjamin spat. "You wouldn't dare!"
Amber simply closed her eyes and began counting.
"One..."
Benjamin's fists clenched. "Go ahead. I won't let them go even if you cut your head off!"
"Two..."
"You're bluffing! You know how much I hate being threatened!"
"Three!"
Amber's eyes squeezed shut as she pressed the dagger into her own skin. A thin line of red began to trickle from where the blade bit into her flesh.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, my heart literally cannot take this! This chapter was an absolute roller coaster of emotions. Seeing Amber stand up to her ruthless father, putting her own life on the line for the man she loves—even knowing he doesn't love her back—is both devastating and awe-inspiring. Her bravery broke my heart. Is she foolishly devoted to a man who will never return her feelings, or is she admirably noble? Either way, this chapter kept me glued with its nail-biting suspense, fast-paced action, and emotionally charged confrontations. Liam's cunning escape and Benjamin's terrifying stubbornness left me breathless. I need to know what happens next immediately!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
What will happen now that Amber has actually drawn blood? Will Benjamin's cold facade finally crack when he sees his daughter truly willing to die for her love, or is a tragedy already in motion? I predict a desperate turn of events—perhaps Liam, seeing the lengths Amber is willing to go to, will make a move to protect her himself, or Benjamin's foster sons, especially Mateo, might intervene by force to save Amber. There's also Renee and Joanne hiding nearby—they might create a sudden distraction that turns the tide of this standoff.
