Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0038

Amanda stared at me with wide, surprised eyes as she sat in the makeup chair. It was my wedding day, and yet she was the one being pampered and made beautiful.

Maybe it was the stress of the morning or the embarrassment from my foolish phone call to Alexander, but I felt myself losing control of my anger.

I had tried so hard these past weeks since my second chance began to act as though nothing had changed in my affection and friendship with Amanda. But I wasn’t sure I could handle pretending much longer.

“What are you doing?” I asked, my voice sharp.

Amanda glanced around, as if trying to figure out who I was talking to. Her attempt to play innocent only fueled my anger further.

“I asked you a question. What are you doing?” I repeated, more forcefully this time.

“I’m just getting ready,” she replied, looking at the hairdresser with an expression of disbelief, as if to say I was being ridiculous.

“I asked you to come early to help me,” I continued, my voice growing more heated. “You were supposed to put your things away and come back downstairs, and yet here you are, getting pampered and spoiled on my wedding day. You seem to think you’re the bride today.”

I could see a flicker of anger cross Amanda’s face. She scoffed, shaking her head.

“I’m just getting ready,” she said defensively. “Doesn’t it make more sense for me to get ready first, so that if I run out of time while setting up-”
