Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 390

His first thought was Liliana. She had every reason to start this-if rumors that he liked Amara reached Finnian, knowing how much Finnian cared for Amara,

Finnian would never trust him again.

And if that happened, when he told Finnian about Liliana faking her pregnancy, Finnian probably wouldn't believe him either. That was Liliana's game: slowly chipping away at his credibility in Finnian's eyes.

Hogan remembered the look Finnian had given him at the coffee shop earlier-a chill crept through him.

No, absolutely not. Whether or not Liliana was behind this, he had to warn her. He pulled out his phone and typed a message: "Seven days left."

Seven days. In other words, there were only seven days left before filming wrapped up—a deadline he and Liliana had set together.

If Liliana didn't come clean to Finnian about her fake pregnancy before then, Hogan would do it himself.

Liliana replied almost immediately: "I know." She put her phone aside, her fingers -tipped with scarlet polish-drumming lightly on the armrest of the sofa.
