Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 300

Just as she'd made a few edits, there was a loud, insistent knocking at the door, as if the person on the other side was ready for a fight.

Amara found the knock oddly familiar and walked over, asking, "Who's there?"

"It's me, open up!" came Hogan's voice.

A wave of irritation washed over Amara. What was he doing here again? The last time he'd shown up, he had attacked her for no reason. What could he possibly want this time? Another fight?

She yanked the door open and said coolly, "What do you want?"

Hogan didn't say anything right away, but Amara loathed him so much that her face twisted into an expression of pure disdain the second she saw him.

Hogan was there to settle a score on behalf of Liliana. Liliana had mentioned wanting to embarrass Amara in front of Finnian by revealing her face without a mask. When Hogan followed up on the plan, Liliana had been evasive, so he assumed she'd been humiliated by Amara again. That assumption fueled his anger and prompted him to confront Amara.

What Hogan didn't expect was to be greeted by a stunningly beautiful woman glaring at him. Her eyes were clear yet alluring, her nose perfectly shaped, lips naturally soft and full, and her skin smooth and delicate. She was more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen.

If he covered the lower half of her face, he knew exactly who she was—his former sister-in-law, Amara. So, this was Amara?

Hogan was dumbstruck. How could Amara look like this without a mask? Wasn't her face supposed to be scarred?

"Do you have something to say?" Amara asked, noticing his speechlessness. She realized this was the first time Hogan had seen her without a mask.

She didn't want to give Hogan any sort of satisfaction, so she said in a low voice, "If you have nothing to say, get lost."

The only reason she opened the door was to avoid Hogan's incessant knocking drawing attention from the rest of the crew.
