Amara really had a way with words... and she wasn't wrong.
With looks like hers, the line of men waiting to pursue her could probably loop around Wye three times over. Her logic was flawless.
Still, he had a gut feeling that Finnian would eventually win her over. He could tell Amara still harbored feelings for him.
He just couldn't understand why, after carrying his child for this long, she remained so stubbornly against being with him.
But there was no point in stressing over it; he'd let Finnian worry about his own mess.
Back in the hospital room, Liliana had spent the previous night undergoing treatment and had missed Finnian's Twitter post entirely.
First thing in the morning, she grabbed her phone to check the news, only to be met with the leaked audio and Finnian's public declaration. She broke down instantly.
So Finnian had confidently declared Amara his future wife? Why was he so insanely fixated on her?
Lately, she had been using his life-saving debt to chain him down, even going so far as staging an accident to fall from the stunt harness.
She had paid such a massive price in a desperate gamble to win back his heart, but it seemed utterly pointless. He was still chasing after Amara like a man possessed. What was she supposed to do now?
Worse still, the entire internet now knew about the life-saving debt, and that his previous relationship with her had been purely out of obligation.
She was usually a rational, level-headed woman, but this string of catastrophic failures had pushed her past her breaking point.
She had orchestrated her own fall from the stunt harness as a final, desperate play to win Finnian back. Yet she gained nothing and was now the laughingstock of the entire internet.
She was having a total mental breakdown. What was she supposed to do now?
She absolutely refused to give up on Finnian, and she couldn't bear the public humiliation. What the hell was her next move? Who was going to save her?!
Amara didn't show up at the set for the entire day, nor did she go home. After leaving the Everly Estate, she headed straight to the Wye Central Library.
