Chapter 24 Shadow Of Love

• The tension from the confrontation at the rooftop bar hung thick in the air as Amara left the venue, only half-hearing the discontented murmurs of Tade and Dare trailing behind her. The night was supposed to shine with potential and partnerships, but now, it felt clouded with uncertainty and distrust.
• Feeling an overwhelming urge to escape the chaos of her thoughts, Amara opted for a little retail therapy at one of her favorite boutiques, Chic Avenue. The small shop was known for its eclectic selection of unique, artisan pieces, and she hoped wandering through the racks would help clear her mind.
• As she browsed the aisles, the soft hum of conversation and the distant chime of cash registers provided a comforting ambiance. Amara ran her fingers over textured fabrics, losing herself in the vibrant colors and intricate designs. But even surrounded by beauty, her thoughts kept drifting back to Tade and the cryptic message that weighed heavily on her heart.
