From high school all through college, Amara had harbored a secret crush on Finnian, even going so far as to make him her personal idol. After college graduation, she married Finnian, spending three years as his wife.


    Even though they rarely saw each other during that time, she diligently gathered information about him, making daily trips to Everly Group to deliver lunch and stay informed about his life. She believed she truly understood Finnian.


    But today''s events left Amara questioning herself. The Finnian she encountered today was nothing like the man she had in her mind.


    He was no longer the polite and upright gentleman. Instead, he barged into her break room without her consent, using his investor keys to gain ess.


    When she walked in, he brazenly wrapped an arm around her waist, pressing her against the wall with a domineering and arrogant air.


    This side of Finnian, practically like a rogue, shattered Amara''s long-held image of him, leaving her momentarily speechless.


    "What''s the matter? Don''t you have anything to say?" Finnian asked as he gazed at her, a devilish hint in the eyes, "When did you and Keith start seeing each other? How long have you been sneaking around behind my back?"


    Amara thought that was a bit rich, using her of sneaking around with Keith when he himself was involved with Liliana. How long had they been sneaking around behind her back?


    Oh right, he had just admitted to him being hypercritical.


    Amara clenched her fists, feeling her anger rise. She really wanted to give him a piece of her mind, but she reminded herself that Finnian was the big-shot investor.


    Even if he wasn''t directly investing in her show, he was someone she couldn''t afford to offend. She had to be careful with her words.


    "Mr. Everly, it''s not what you think," Amara replied, struggling to keep her anger in check.


    Fine, let him have his double standards. After all, he was the one with power and influence, while she was just a small, insignificant figure who could be crushed at any moment.


    She decided it was best to suppress the desire of demanding fairness, swallow her pride and quietly endure the humiliation.


    But just as she was about to exin her rtionship with Keith, there was a sudden knock at the door.


    "Finn, are you in there?"


    It was Liliana''s voice. The tense standoff in the room was abruptly interrupted, leaving both of them at a loss for words.


    Finnian''s expression darkened as he strode over and yanked open the door. "What are you doing here?"


    Liliana stood at the doorway, one hand resting on her stomach, biting her lip slightly as she looked up at him, silent.


    Half an hour earlier, she had noticed Finnian entering Amara''s break room, which made her uneasy. wanted to find out what he was doing in there. Then, about five


    minutes ago, Amara hadi nét


    also


    entered the room, and the door had closed behind her.


    Liliana imagined the two of them alone in a room together, considering they were still technically married. Who knew what might happen? Her anxiety grew, and she couldn''t resist knocking on the door.


    "Finn, I just wanted to see you." She said as she kept her hand on her stomach, "These past few days, think my hormones may have been all over the ce, and my emotions are erratic."


    Finnian didn''t seem annoyed by her presence; he stepped out and closed the


    door behind him, saying, "Let''s get you back to your room."


    He escorted Liliana back to her break room,forting her for a while before leaving.


    Liliana stood at the door, watching him walk off the set instead of heading back to Amara''s room, feeling slightly relieved.


    She nced over at Keith, who was filming a solo scene nearby, her eyes flickering with suspicion.


    She couldn''t shake the feeling that Finnian''s visit to Amara''s room had something


    to do with Keith.
