Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 348

For Amara, the past couple of days had been a rollercoaster of emotions. Finnian was back to his old self, cool and distant towards her.

Whenever they crossed paths at the film set or at the Everly family gatherings, they'd exchange a polite nod, a silent acknowledgment of each other's presence, before going about their separate ways. It was as if they were mere acquaintances, not people who once shared something more.
