Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 859

But after seeing photographic proof of his lingering ties to Liliana, his words felt like cheap lies.

And then there was the stunt harness accident. Yes, Liliana was badly hurt, but technically, Finnian owed her nothing now. So why was he constantly visiting her hospital room?

It had to be because he still had feelings for her.

Why else would a billionaire executive abandon his empire to sit by a woman's hospital bed?

Amara turned her head, her voice devoid of emotion. “Save your excuses, Finnian.”

“I am never going back to you, and my child will have absolutely nothing to do with you. I'm going inside now. Leave.”

With that, she ripped herself from his grasp and walked through the front gate, locking it firmly behind her. She cast one final, icy glance at him before disappearing into her home.

Finnian watched her walk away. He had wanted to stop her, to pull her back into his arms, but his strength had completely evaporated.

The absolute coldness of her rejection had shattered him.

Inside, Amara downed a glass of water, desperately trying to steady her racing heart.

Finnian had changed. The gentle, restrained man she once knew had been replaced by someone volatile and terrifyingly obsessive.

Standing chest-to-chest with him under the weight of that predatory aura had genuinely frightened her.

And his relentless fixation on her was exhausting. What was he trying to prove?

If his heart was with Liliana, why couldn't he just leave her alone?
