Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 146

Elysia felt a wave of guilt wash over her as she slapped her forehead lightly. "Oh gosh, I've been drinking way too much wine lately—feels like my brain's turned to mush."

"That's not it." Amara knew exactly what was running through her friend's mind. She pulled a face and said, "Ely, we aren't actually divorced."

"What?"

Elysia was momentarily stunned.

"Not divorced?"

"Yeah, we were supposed to meet at the city hall, but Finnian stood me up. When I went to his office, he said he wasn't ready to sign the papers and would decide on it whenever he felt like it."

Elysia's temper flared up instantly as she cussed out, "That jerk! Why's he holding you back? Does he really think you've got something going on with Keith?

And even if you and Keith did have something, isn't he doing the same thing? The nerve of him, he's such a hypocrite!"

Amara nodded vigorously. "Exactly, he's being so two-faced. It's infuriating!"

The more Amara thought about it, the more it made sense. Finnian was stalling probably because he was irritated about her and Keith.

Initially, she wanted to explain the situation to him when the time was right, but now she realized there was no point.

"No way, that jerk! I've got to go have it out with him!"

Elysia was someone who acted first and thought later. She put her champagne down on the hallway table and turned to put on her shoes.

Amara quickly stopped her. "Don't bother. He's clearly not going to listen to reason. What's the point in talking to him? Let me figure something out later."

Amara was worried Elysia would act impulsively. Elysia's hot-headedness really needed some cooling down.
