Under the Veil I Rule

Amara was stunned as she looked at Finnian, hardly believing what she had just heard.
Lately, Finnian had been a constant presence in her life. Sometimes he was a nuisance, other times he was a lifesaver. Her feelings toward him were
a tangled mess of contradictions.
But never in her wildest dreams did she think he'd apologize to her.
"Forget about what I said before," Finnian mumbled, his eyes cast downward, hiding his emotions.
"I won't say those things again."
Amara was taken aback.
Were those things the declarations of affection he had made? For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, if only for a brief moment. She quickly

composed herself and smiled, "Alright, let's leave the past where it belongs. I won't dwell on it, and I hope you won't either, Mr. Everly."
No matter what Finnian's intentions were, the fact that he had come to apologize and seemed to be closing a chapter in their relationship brought a
sense of relief to Amara.
She nodded to Finnian, got out of the car, and left.
Finnian remained seated, watching Amara walk away, his gaze fixed on her until she disappeared into the studio entrance.
Once in the break room, Amara shook off her lingering thoughts and focused on rewriting the script.
They were in the latter half of filming Whispers of Winter. In about a month, they'd wrap up, and she felt a twinge of nostalgia. She wanted to ensure
she did her best during these final days.
As she sat at her computer, contemplating the plot, the door suddenly swung open. Amara started, frowning as she looked toward the entrance.
She never locked her door while working—it was a film set, after all, where barging in unannounced was rare. Yet here it was happening.
Amara's eyes narrowed as she saw Liliana burst in. "What are you doing here? Ever heard of knocking?"
Liliana stopped in front of Amara, her eyes narrowing.
"What's going on with you and Finn? Why did he kiss you at the hotel the other day?"

Amara replied coldly, "You said it yourself—he kissed me. If you want to know why, maybe you should ask Finnian, not me."
Liliana's voice turned icy. "I didn't realize you had such a sharp tongue. Never saw that side of you before."

Their relationship had soured beyond repair, so Amara spoke freely, without reservation.
Liliana's gaze was steely as she slowly moved toward Amara.

Under the Veil I Rule
Chapter 267
"Liliana, if you've got issues, deal with them elsewhere. Don't take them out on me."
Amara was beyond fed up with Liliana, and working in the same crew made avoiding her impossible. From now on, she'd make sure to lock her door.
Liliana said nothing, just kept advancing step by step.
When she was about half a meter away and Amara was preparing to push her back if necessary, Liliana finally stopped.
She stared at Amara, about to speak, but then her expression twisted in pain. Her body swayed, and she collapsed to the floor.
