Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 2

Amara stood tall at 5 feet 7, with a perfectly balanced figure. If it wasn't for the mask she wore to protect her sensitive skin, she would surely turn heads everywhere.

The duo took the escalator up to the second floor, which was dedicated to women's handbags. Elysia, eager to celebrate Amara's divorce, insisted on gifting her a purse. Despite Amara's protests, Elysia was persistent.

"Ama, let's check out that section. The sales associate said they just got some new arrivals. Maybe you'll find something you like," Elysia said, pointing excitedly toward the CAVELLE display.

Amara nodded and walked toward the sleek, elegant counter. But as soon as she spotted the man standing there, she froze in her tracks.
