Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 56

The photo captured a dimly lit passageway, where a couple wearing masks strolled side by side, carrying grocery bags towards the door.

The masked woman was unmistakably Amara, her head tilted as she chatted with the man beside her, eyes sparkling with laughter.

The man, tall and wearing a black baseball cap and mask, was unidentifiable to Finnian. All he could see was how close the man was to Amara. In addition to the groceries he carried, the man also had a bag slung over his shoulder.

Finnian's long fingers tapped the screen, zooming in on the photo. He recognized the bag as the one Will had given to Amara earlier that morning.

At the moment, a strange feeling washed over Finnian. So, that bag wasn't supposed to be for him.
