CHAPTER 214

ADAM’S POV

I am so upset that Aria continues to date Tony. Every time I think about it, a knot tightens in my stomach. My frustration and helplessness gnaw at me constantly, leaving me restless and agitated. My friend George, sensing my turmoil, invites me to a bar. He knows I need a distraction, something to take my mind off Aria and Tony. I reluctantly agree, hoping the noise and bustle of the bar might offer some temporary relief from my thoughts.

The wooden tables and leather booths give it a rustic charm, and the bar itself is lined with an impressive array of bottles. A few patrons are scattered around, engaged in quiet conversations, which makes it easy to find a comfortable spot to sit and unwind.
