CHAPTER 22

Amara Nicholas:

I woke up in the sumptuous bedroom, thinking that Darlington had slept on the bed with me. I saw when he returned back the previous night to his room and took his phone. Well, I fell asleep on the bed and drifted off to sleep, ensuring to create a space on the bed between us, just in case Darlington returned to the room again to sleep.

I awoke and found out that I was alone in the room, with the sound of my phone ringing on the shelf. I glanced at where I had kept my phone the previous night, took it, and saw my father actually phoning me.

"Hello, Dad, Good morning," I greeted, and heard my father's calm response, "Amara, how was your night?"

"Fine, Dad, and yours?"

"Good! Actually, I called Mr. Joshua Briggs this morning, and he informed me that you have finally agreed to stay with them for a while, probably a month or two, to get acquainted with Darlington. Is that so?"

"Yes, Dad, I thought about it, and accepted too," I said, stealing a quick glance at the room clock
