Chapter 205
Amara jumped in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Finnian strode over, his eyes locked onto hers. "You two are not together?"
Amara went silent.
"You toldbefore you were with him. Was that a lie?"
Amara stood there, speechless, as Finnian pressed. Her mouth was slightly open, unsure of what to say.
Had Finnian overheard her conversation with Keith just now?
"What do you mean, Mr. Everly?" Keith interjected, stepping in front of Amara with
a face full of cold determination, though a smile tugged at his lips.
"Whether Ama and | are together or not, what's it to you? It's not like you two are actually a real couple."
"Stop calling her Ama. She's my wife, and it's none of your business."
Finnian grasped Amara's wrist, pulling her to his side, their bodies almost touching. Keith's anger flared as he

"Both of you, stop it right now!" Amara's voice rang out, firm and commanding.
Her sudden outburst made Keith pause, though his eyes still burned frostily with the threat of violence.
Amara shook off Finnian's hold and turned to Keith. "You should head back. We'll talk about this later."
"No way. | don't trust him being alone with you."
"I'll be fine, just go. If anything happens, I'll let you know."
Amara took Keith by the wrist and practically dragged him out. Though she was usually gentle and soft-spoken,

Keith gave her a long look, noticing the tension in her features, and frowned. "Alright, I'm leaving now. Just don't
be mad."

With that, he glanced at Finnian, who stood behind Amara with an icy demeanor. Still uneasy, Keith spoke quietly
to Amara before reluctantly leaving the hospital.
Amara turned back to Finnian, the adrenaline from her earlier resolve fading, leaving her feeling a bit lost and
anxious, her head bowed unwittingly.
Walking up to her, Finnian led her back into the room without a word, shut the door, and asked in a low voice,
"What exactly is going on between you and Keith?"
Amara thought for a moment before replying, "We've been friends since we were kids."
Right now, she was feeling a bit rattled. She hadn't done anything wrong, yet the confusion and chaos of the
situation had her on edge.
Finnian lifted her chin, seeking confirmation. "You're not involved with him romantically?"
His gaze was deep, betraying a flicker of something like tension that Amara didn't notice.
"We've always just been good friends," she said. "I've told you many times | didn't cheat on you, but you didn't
believe me."
Her voice carried a hint of exasperation. Finnian released her. "But Liliana's recording..."
Mentioning that stirred Amara's anger even more, given how much pain that recording had caused her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUsually slow to react and introverted, Amara had found herself flustered by this whole mess, even though she
was the one wronged.
But now, she was calmer and hearing Finnian bring up the past reignited her fury. She exclaimed, "That recording
was edited by Liliana with malicious intent!"
"Edited?"
"Yes," she gathered her thoughts and spoke deliberately. "Liliana and S were talking outside, and she tricked me
into saying sthings that were out of context."
