The very things she coveted and treasured, Amara discarded like trash. The thought filled Liliana with a toxic, consuming hatred. She wanted to rip Amara to shreds.
Liliana couldn't take it anymore. Ignoring the pulling pain in her chest, she dragged herself out of bed, screaming curses at Amara.
She glared wildly at the empty air, her eyes burning with a venomous intensity, as if Amara were standing right in front of her.
After screaming her throat raw at the empty room, a dark realization settled over her, and her gaze turned deadly.
Just a moment ago, a thought had formed in her mind.
It was an incredibly dangerous move. If she went through with it, the risks were monumental, and the fallout could be disastrous.
But she was past caring. She was going to lose her mind if she didn't do something. Risk or no risk, she had to take the gamble.
So she had to act. Throwing off her hospital gown, she changed clothes and slipped out of Wye General Hospital, her wounds still aching.
Around four in the afternoon, after a grueling day of work, Amara packed up her belongings, ready to head home.
As she walked outside, her mind was still lingering on the events of the day.
The drama with Finnian had topped the trending charts earlier, but a few hours later, a massive scandal involving an A-list celebrity evading taxes had blown up the internet.
It dominated all the headlines, completely burying her and Finnian's drama.
By the afternoon, hardly anyone was talking about them anymore. In a way, that disgraced celebrity had accidentally done her a massive favor.
But while the internet might have moved on, her reality hadn't. What was she going to do moving forward?
Finnian was relentless, and she absolutely refused to be with him.
And all those assets he had brought today... it was a terrifying display of his resolve.
