Finnian kept mulling over the word "wife" in his mind, not uttering a single word.
A chilly breeze swept past, causing Amara to shiver slightly. She felt an urge to leave this place and shifted her
body a bit.
But at that moment, Finnian suddenly grabbed her chin again, leaning down to kiss her mouth through the soft
mask she wore.
Amara's eyes widened instantly. Almost reflexively, she tried to push him away.
Finnian pulled her closer by the waist, holding her tightly so she couldn't escape his embrace. He closed his eyes,
deepening the kiss.
He kissed her fiercely, and after the initial shock, Amara was filled with nothing but shand anger. She
struggled in Finnian's arms, trying to speak, but could only manage muffled sounds.

Her lips hurt like hell because he was so rough. It was all she could do to push him away, but it was useless. He
was too strong, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Just then, footsteps approached from outside the rooftop, accompanied by distant voices that grew clearer.
"Hogan, Celeste, you sure you saw someone cup here?"
"Yeah, we saw it with our own eyes. Afraid that they might try to suicide, so we cto check it out."
Leading the way were Hogan and Celeste, followed by Liliana, Patrick, and a few young members of the Cooper
family who'd all been let in on the situation.
Liliana seemed to be in high spirits, smiling as they reached the rooftop door. Hogan remembered seeing
Amara's silhouette disappear through it earlier, and a smirk played on his lips.
With a loud bang, he pushed the door open with both hands.
In front of them lay the expansive rooftop, lit by a single lamp hanging above the railing, illuminating a couple
locked in an intense embrace.
They were entangled, with the man clearly holding the woman against her will, as she struggled, tears welling up
in her eyes.
Everyone at the door froze at the sight. The noise Hogan made while opening the door caught Finnian and
Amara's attention immediately.
But surprisingly, Finnian, who was usually quick to react, was a beat too slow this time. It was only after the
others had stopped in their tracks that he finally released Amara.
However, he merely paused the kiss, his arm still firmly wrapped around her waist.
He turned to face the dozen or so people clustered at the doorway, their expressions a mix of shock and
disbelief. His eyes were cold and piercing, yet his lips were flushed from the passionate kiss, making him look

A loud clatter broke the silence. Hogan, who had been poised to take a photo with his phone, let it slip. from his

Amara lifted her head from Finnian's embrace, her gaze meeting the stunned group at the door. Her
embarrassment was overwhelming.
She tried to bolt, but Finnian pulled her back, his hand gripping her waist like a vise. He said to Patrick, "Mr.
Cooper, | forgot to introduce you earlier. This is my wife, Amara."
"Okay, so Ms. Sullivan is your wife, huh? Guess it's Mrs. Everly now, isn't it? Hahaha."
They had known all along that
Amara was Finnian's wife, but since the couple had kept it a secret, no one wanted to bring it up directly. They all
played along, pretending ignorance.
Now that Finnian had addressed the elephant in the room, the tension eased. The
Everly family members approached, cracking jokes with the couple.
Amara remained curled up in Finnian's arms, her eyes cast downward, her nails digging into her palms, her body
still trembling.
