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.
