Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 397

Hogan ran a hand through his hair, finally making up his mind. He turned the car around, headed back to the office to pick up his things, and drove home.

A week might not seem long, but with hundreds of people working tirelessly on set, it felt like both an eternity and the blink of an eye.

Tonight, they would shoot the final scene of *Whispers of Winter*. Once the cameras stopped rolling, the production would officially wrap.

After months of non-stop work, Amara felt a mix of relief and excitement.

She had written a few scripts before, but this was the first time she’d been involved with a show from start to finish, pouring her heart and soul into every detail. She had high hopes for it, and now, with the end in sight, she couldn’t help but feel both bittersweet and eager for what was next. She couldn’t wait for the series to be released, to see how audiences would respond.

But not everyone was as relaxed as Amara. Take Liliana, for instance—she’d spent the last few days swinging between moments of relief and waves of anxiety.

Hogan had given her a week to come clean to Finnian about faking her pregnancy; if she didn’t, Hogan would tell him himself. By now, knowing Hogan’s temperament, he should’ve come knocking on her door to pressure her again, but he hadn’t. Maybe he’d given up?

Under Liliana’s careful maneuvering, rumors about Hogan being in love with Amara had spread like wildfire through the Wye social scene. She’d heard that people were scrambling to trace the source, but it was impossible to pin down. Eventually, everyone seemed to just accept it as fact.

If Finnian bought into the gossip, he’d never trust Hogan again. Even if Hogan tried to reveal the truth in a fit of desperation, Finnian probably wouldn’t believe a word he said. Liliana assured herself that Hogan must have realized this, which explained why he’d left her alone.
