Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 3

For the past three years, she had really tried with Finnian.

She poured her heart into mastering the art of cooking, showing up at Finnian's office every day with a warm meal, hoping he'd enjoy a hot dish after work. But he never even took a bite, and he wouldn't even come out to see her.-

Amara spent her hard-earned money from writing to buy Finnian clothes, piece after piece, only for Will to subtly point out that they just piled up, gathering dust in the corner, never worn.

These things left Amara feeling pretty down. She figured Finnian must find her unattractive.

So, she thought, she'd just have to make herself more attractive before approaching Finnian again.

Finnian was top-notch in every way, and only a woman who matched his caliber could stand by his side, she thought. She got that.

What she hadn't expected was that all her efforts over the past three years would be in vain, because Finnian already had someone else.
