Ella POV

When David’s eyes met niine, he smiled brightly. It was a genuine smile, and it took me off guard. Then I realized why he was so happy: everyone around him was looking at me in shock, and he liked the attention.

He stepped away from the group and put his arm around my waist.

“This is Ella,” he said, introducing me to the women. “My fiancée.”

The women all turned their attention to me, leaving Amanda to pout on her own

“It’s so nice to meet you,” the first woman said. I reached out my hand to her, and she shook it.

“It’s nice to meet you too,” I replied. Then I turned to the second woman and smiled. “Nice to see you again.”

“It’s nice to see you too,” she said weakly.

“Are you all right?” I asked. “You seem a little shaken.”

She smiled awkwardly. “I’m just surprised. You seem so different than the last time I saw you.”

“You’re nothing like the spoiled little princess I’ve heard stories about,” the first woman said.

I raised my eyebrows at her in faux surprise. “Is that what you’ve heard about me?” I asked. “Who would say such a thing?”

Both of the women glanced at Amanda, and she looked away from all of us.

Excited whispers started up in the crowd, and we turned to see Alexander approaching the podium. I pulled away from David’s grip and moved forward with the crowd so that I wouldn’t miss the speech. David and the rest of his friends followed after me.
