Chapter 259

She stormed over with a fierce determination, her eyes locked onto Amara like a hawk spotting its prey.

Amara couldn't help but feel a pang of fear, instinctively taking a couple of steps back, unsure of how to handle Liliana's fury.

In a swift move, Finnian shifted to stand protectively in front of Amara, his eyes fixed on Liliana with a look so intense, it seemed almost palpable.

Liliana halted in front of Finnian, her anger swiftly melting into tears. "Finn, what are you doing? How could you kiss her?" she asked, her voice trembling with hurt.

Standing behind Finnian's tall frame, Amara was almost completely shielded from view. Yet, just hearing Liliana's words was enough to make her feel a deep sense of shame and embarrassment.

Even though Finnian had been the one to initiate the kiss, and technically, she was the victim here, being caught in the act by his actual girlfriend was mortifying. She wanted nothing more than to disappear.

Sensing that this confrontation was not hers to resolve, she quickly turned and dashed out of the room.

Finnian watched Amara's retreating figure, something in his gaze suggesting he wanted to follow. As his foot shifted slightly in her direction, Liliana noticed and immediately grabbed his arm.
