Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 170

Amara stood at the entrance of the passageway, wearing her pajamas and slippers, eyes wide open in a mix of shock and fury.

Finnian got up and marched over to her. "Did you ask him to come over in the middle of the night?"

In the moonlight, Finnian's expression was dark and menacing, his mouth stained with blood, making him look quite terrifying.

Amara took a step back, gritting her teeth hard as she replied, "What's it to you?"

She knew Finnian had gotten the wrong idea.

Keith, who lived across the hall, must have been returning home from a late shift when he ran into Finnian. Somehow, Finnian assumed Keith was there to see her, and that misunderstanding led to their fight.

Amara had only just caught a glimpse of them brawling from her window and, in her anger, blurted out her words without thinking.

To Finnian, Amara's reaction seemed like a confirmation, and his gaze grew even more twisted.

Keith, meanwhile, had managed to get back on his feet and was now the calmest of the three.
