Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 25

Almost at the same time, that familiar warmth returned to Finnian's stomach, and the subtle scent of Amara's perfume seemed to linger in the air once more.

Finnian, with his strikingly handsome features a bit shadowed, thought there was no need to make things hard on himself. He lifted his long, elegant hand to switch the cool water to warm, slowly reaching downward.

That night passed without incident, but as the morning light crept in, both of them felt a shift in the atmosphere. Something had changed.

The previous night, Finnian had been in the shower for ages. Amara, worried something might have happened, tiptoed to the bathroom door and heard low, rhythmic breathing.

Inside, there was a pause—he seemed to have sensed her presence. Startled, Amara quickly retreated, slipping back into bed.

Once there was a hint of entanglement between a man and a woman, things could never quite go back to how they were.

The next morning, at least on the surface, they maintained a facade of calm as they drove back to the Everly family estate.

Amara watched as Finnian stormed into Kevin's study, slamming the door behind him. She wasn't sure what exactly transpired inside. It was quiet at first, and then suddenly, a loud shout erupted, "Get out! Get the hell out!"

This was followed by a loud crash, as if something had been thrown. The door then flung open, and Finnian emerged with a cut on his forehead, a trickle of blood making it look more dramatic than it was.

He approached Amara with a brooding expression and declared, "We're not waiting a month. We're getting divorced now. I'll have Will file the papers again."

Finnian had taken over the Everly Group after graduation, and on account of his excellence, his influence in Wye had grown significantly, surpassing even that of Kevin.
