The last time Finnian had referred to Amara as her sister-in-law, Antonia had been shocked, but she hadn’t taken it too seriously afterward. She assumed he still harbored some lingering attachment to his ex-wife and was just talking big, but surely he wasn’t serious.

But today, Finnian had sought Amara out again and declared to her face that Amara was his future wife. Did he actually intend to marry her? What on earth was going on?

Antonia wasn’t the only one reeling. Everyone on set who had overheard the declaration was plunged into a state of disbelief, which quickly devolved into a frenzy of whispered gossip.

Inevitably, someone leaked the incident online. And this time, they didn’t just post text—they uploaded an audio recording of Finnian saying the exact words.

Audio like that was incredibly difficult to deepfake. Even if someone had managed to forge Finnian’s voice, the Everly Group would have instantly issued a denial and threatened legal action the moment it went viral.

But no such denial came. That meant the phrase, “Amara is my future wife,” was completely authentic. The words had undeniably come from Finnian himself.

As soon as the news broke, the internet exploded. The hashtag skyrocketed up the trending list, hitting the number one spot at breakneck speed. The volume of traffic was so intense it nearly crashed Twitter.

“What’s going on?! Are Finnian and Amara getting back together? They were married before and got divorced, right? Is this a remarriage arc?”

“Just a while ago, Finnian was supposed to marry Liliana, and Amara was about to marry Keith. But Finnian pulled a runaway groom act, and Amara’s wedding fell through too. Now this drops? This love square is so messy!”

“It’s actually pretty simple. Finnian has always loved Amara, but for whatever reason, he had to marry Liliana. Right before the wedding he realized he couldn’t go through with it, backed out, and decided to chase his ex-wife instead.”

“Is my ship actually sailing?! Amara and Finnian are both drop-dead gorgeous. They are the absolute ceiling for visual couples. I’ve been secretly shipping them this

whole time—I never thought they’d actually become canon!”

“Are you people in the comments out of your minds? Since when does Finnian like Amara? When has he ever said that? Finnian loves Liliana! He’s definitely going to marry her in the end.”

f.n

“Liliana fell from a stunt harness two days ago, and didn’t Finnian rush to the hospital to visit her? He looked extremely worried. He obviously cares about fier. Can the people spreading rumors about him and Amara please stop?”

“Liliana’s fans are hilarious. Still delusional, huh? Mr. Everly clearly has zero interest

in your precious idol. If he wanted her, he would have married her. Why would he bail at the last second?”

“As for visiting her after a set accident—that’s just basic human decency! An acquaintance gets hurt, you drop by to check on them. It’s not that deep.”

“How is that ‘not deep’? Mr. Everly obviously cares deeply about her. Didn’t you read that one article? It said their bond is unbreakable. They’re definitely going to get back together.”

“Why are people still bringing up that article? Didn’t it get scrubbed from the internet? Finnian probably had t deleted himself because he hates being associated with Liliana in the press. He clearly wants Amara. The reat question is, what does Amaral think? Wasn’t she just trying to marry Keith?”
