Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 144

Amara was fuming as she drove to the Everly Group headquarters. She stormed up to the top floor and banged on the door of the president's office.

"Come in."

A calm male voice called from inside.

Amara swung the door open and marched up to Finnian. She asked, "Mr. Everly, today was supposed to be the day we finalized our divorce. We’ve set a time and everything. Why didn't you show up?"

"And by the way, you didn't answer my calls either," she added.

Finnian sat behind his massive desk, while Amara stood across from him, the height discrepancy evident; she was furious, exuding an overbearing aura, yet somehow she couldn't match his commanding presence. It felt like a child trying to argue with an adult.

Elbows resting on the desk, Finnian gazed up at Amara. "No particular reason. I just don’t feel like getting divorced right now," Finnian replied nonchalantly.

Amara's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why?"

Finnian was supposed to be eager to divorce her, ready to rush into marriage with Liliana. So why the sudden change?

"What are you saying, Mr. Everly?" Amara asked again, unable to believe her ears.

"Exactly what it sounds like," Finnian said, but Amara somehow felt his tone mischievous. "I just don’t want to, for now."
