Chapter Seven

Third Person Pov

Amber stepped into the car that arrived to pick her up, just as Richard had mentioned earlier.

Her stomach twisted in knots as she remained unsure if she had made the right decision by agreeing to

his unconventional marriage proposal. The thought of marrying a man like Richard stirred mixed

feelings in her, but the driving force behind it was the need for revenge.

With Richard’s assistance, she believed she had a better chance of ensuring they paid for what they

did to her.

As the car navigated through the bustling streets of the city, Amber couldn’t help but fidget in her seat. Her mind raced with thoughts of the potential outcomes and whether she was truly prepared for the aftermath of accepting his proposal. Despite the uncertainty, she reassured herself that Richard

was the only person who could help her achieve her goals, making her decision the best one.

The car pulled up in front of an exquisite restaurant named Luxe Ambrosia, causing her anxiety levels to rise. Stepping out of the car, a man approached and offered to escort her in. Despite her apprehension, Amber masked her nerves and followed behind him as they entered the restaurant.

Her eyes were immediately captivated by the glamour of the luxurious surroundings, a masterpiece of stunning decor and exquisite cuisine. From the impressive lighting to the carefully curated artwork,

no detail had been left unattended.

The restaurant appeared almost empty, and the sound of her heels clicking on the marble floors resonated as she followed the escort to the table where Richard was seated.

The table, adorned with white roses and an expensive bottle of champagne, gave off an air of celebration. Positioned in the center of the restaurant, it seemed to be a setting for a significant occasion.

The escort brought her to the table, and she bowed curtly to thank him before he walked away. Richard was already seated, dressed in an expensive–looking suit, his hair perfectly styled. He looked as polished and suave as she would expect.

“Amber!” Richard called out as soon as he saw her, standing to embrace her. “You look even more
