Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 548

"I saved Finn's life, and he's very grateful. If he weren't with me, he would live with that guilt for the rest of his life."

Hogan knew this was true, which made him feel utterly helpless.

Finnian was a complex person. He didn't always seem like a good man, but perhaps because he had received so little care as a child, he was deeply grateful to anyone who had ever helped him.

And because Liliana had saved his life, he felt an immense debt of gratitude to her.

After returning to the Everly estate, Amara read for a while before washing up and going to bed. Around midnight, she was jolted awake by the vibration of her phone. She answered groggily, "What is it?"

"Were you asleep?" Keith asked. "I'm outside the Everly estate right now."

Amara was wide awake in an instant. She sat up in bed. "You're outside now? Wait, I'll come out and meet you."

After Keith had left earlier in the day, she had sent him several messages to check on the situation, but he hadn't replied. She hadn't expected him to come find her directly.

She threw on some clothes, crept downstairs, and saw that the first floor was dark; the staff had all gone to bed. Grabbing her key, she slipped out of the mansion.

"How did it go after you went back?"

She asked as soon as she got into Keith's car. "Did you make up with your parents?"

Keith was still wearing the same clothes from earlier, his hair a mess. He looked like he had rushed over.

He sighed. "My parents are just unreasonable. They're prejudiced against you now and have forbidden me from marrying you. I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult for me to get my official papers."

Amara's heart sank.

Without his official papers, they couldn't legally become husband and wife. Even if they held a wedding ceremony, Larry wouldn't recognize it.
