Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 916

Him saying something so arrogant proved her suspicions were spot on. Finnian really had secretly ordered every hospital in Wye to deny her the late-term abortion procedure.

In fact, it probably wasn't just limited to Wye. If she tried to sneak out of the city, he would definitely find out. No matter where she ran, he would pull strings to make sure the local clinics turned her away.

He had too much power. If he was dead set on crossing swords with her, he would absolutely go to those lengths.

The realization made her tremble with rage.

She wanted to tear into him, to scream until her throat was raw, but she was so furious the words died on her tongue.

Seeing her visceral reaction, Finnian felt his own chest tighten.

His anger cooled slightly. He stepped toward her, his voice softening. "Amara, stop fighting this. I know you resent me, and I know I've made countless mistakes in the past, but I will make it all up to you."

Make it up to her? With what? The photos of him embracing Liliana in a hospital room?

She found his promises downright pathetic. At the same time, a vicious wave of loathing for him surged through her.

She glared at him, unapologetic malice swirling in her eyes. In that precise moment, she utterly despised him.

If murder were legal and someone handed her a weapon, she might have just ended him right then and there.

Finnian instantly caught the sheer hatred in her stare, a sight that made him profoundly miserable.

He reached out, covering her eyes with one hand while pulling her into his arms with the other. "Don't look at me like that," he murmured, his voice strained.

There was an unmistakable tremor in his words. Just hearing it made it glaringly obvious how terrified he really was.

Amara shut her eyes briefly before her bubbling fury finally boiled over. Shoving him back with all her strength, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
