Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 600

Reading the comments, Amara began to shake with rage. Finnian had sat down beside her, and she handed him the phone. “See for yourself.” Finnian took it and began to read.

He scanned the article quickly, his expression turning grim. “Do you know the woman who made the accusation?”

Amara shook her head. “No. She looked like one of Keith’s fans, but we both think that’s unlikely. She was probably just an actress hired by someone to ruin my reputation and stop us from getting married.”

From the sound of it, Amara and Keith hadn't managed to get their license.

Finnian should have been happy, but he felt no joy at all, not after seeing the hateful comments directed at Amara.

“This was definitely a setup. Don’t worry, I’ll help you find the person behind this and make them pay,” Finnian said, exiting the news app and taking her hand.

Of course, Finnian would say that.

Every time she was in trouble, Finnian was there by her side, promising to find those who hurt her and get revenge for her.

And every time, he delivered on that promise.

Even though he was with someone else, he cared so deeply about what happened to her—more than anyone else.

Amara fell silent, that familiar bittersweet sorrow welling up inside her again.

Finnian, thinking she didn't believe him, tilted her chin up, forcing her to look him in the eye. “Amara, I will always protect you. Trust me. I won’t let anyone bully you.”

Amara pushed his hand away. “Finnian, why are you so good to me?”

He instinctively took a couple of steps to follow her, but then stopped, realizing she probably needed to rest. He pulled out his phone again, his eyes darkening as he reviewed the news before calling Will.

Soon, the story of Amara’s pregnancy being exposed on the day of her marriage registration was a top trending topic. Nearly everyone had heard about it.

The news was so sensational—even more explosive than their marriage announcement—that the buzz was astonishing. For a moment, Twitter nearly crashed.

Amara was in her room, also reading the news. There was one thing she found strange: all the reports were adamantly claiming the baby wasn't Keith's. Why?

Logically, since she was pregnant and about to marry Keith, people's first assumption should have been that she was carrying his child and they were getting married because of it. Why was the narrative so different?
