Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 3

For the past three years, she had really tried with Finnian.

She poured her heart into mastering the art of cooking, showing up at Finnian's office every day with a warm meal, hoping he'd enjoy a hot dish after work. But he never even took a bite, and he wouldn't even come out to see her.-

Amara spent her hard-earned money from writing to buy Finnian clothes, piece after piece, only for Will to subtly point out that they just piled up, gathering dust in the corner, never worn.

These things left Amara feeling pretty down. She figured Finnian must find her unattractive.

Before they got married, Finnian had seen a picture of her, her once-simple face marred by two severe scars. Even she found it hard to look at herself, so she completely understood Finnian's feelings.

So, she thought, she'd just have to make herself more attractive before approaching Finnian again.

Finnian was top-notch in every way, and only a woman who matched his caliber could stand by his side, she thought. She got that.

What she hadn't expected was that all her efforts over the past three years would be in vain, because Finnian already had someone else.

"Are you shopping too, Ms. Sullivan?" Liliana withdrew her hand and smiled.

Just as Amara was about to speak, Elysia jumped in, "Not Ms. Sullivan, she's still Mrs. Everly, so please show some respect."

Amara had just signed the divorce papers that morning. It would take a few days for the divorce to be finalized, so Elysia wasn’t wrong. Liliana's face turned sour.

Finnian glanced at Amara with a cold expression and said, "Come over here."

Amara had no idea what Finnian wanted to talk about, and she felt a bit nervous as she followed him to a nearby hallway.

Finnian looked down at her, his voice bone-chilling icy. "Keep your friend in check."

Amara clenched her fists.

His words were pretty harsh on Elysia, but to be fair, Elysia had been giving the other woman a hard time. Was Finnian upset because his beloved was getting hassled?
