Amara's POV I was surprised to meet Darlington's gaze on me. The way his eyes were focused on me in shock, probably wondering what I was doing here in Club Six, one of the biggest hotels in City Z. I saw the lady with him, the love of his life, touching his chest and romancing him. I looked away from them as the waiter arrived to take Esther's and my order. "What would you like to drink?" Esther asked me. I looked at her face, and a sad smile curved up my lips as I replied, "Anything cold and relaxing." "I see." Esther took our orders, and then she asked me, "So what brought you here to City Z? I thought you said you weren't going to return here." "I know I said that. Actually, my father wants me to marry his best friend's son. That's why I'm here." "What!" Esther looked so shocked.
