Ella POV

I had been spending so much time in the capital lately that my father had offered to get me an apartment. The upper levels of our family’s small pack building had bedrogins, and one could easily be converted into a space for me. I had declined, though I knew it might be useful in the future.

I was rarely home these days, splitting my time between Alexander and Elizabeth. Maybe it was because I had grown used to the capital being my home in the original timeline, but I preferred being here–it felt more comfortable.

1 had even started to develop a routine.

Alexander had assigned me a personal guard, a young man gamed James with fiery red hair and broad shoulders. He had a strong, intimidating presence as he followed me a few feet behind, yet I found him reassuring. On the rare occasions I could get him to chat, he seemed genuinely kind.

James and I were at the shopping center getting lunch. Elizabeth was tied up with work, as usual, and Alexander was in a lunch meeting. We planned to meet later at the theater upstairs for a movie.

I liked the rare moments when we could do something ordinary, something that made all the chaos and secrets in my life seem a little less daunting.

Since Alexander’s statement to the press, the number of articles dissecting his fraught romantic past had slowed down. People were still gossiping, of course, but there wasn’t much we could do about that. At least for now, it seemed most were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. People did change–sometimes.

I hadn’t received any more messages from women claiming to have information about Alexander, which was a comfort. I hated to think that there could be more exes out there I hadn’t heard from yet.

I knew he had a reputation, but the sheer number of women speaking out felt almost suspicious.

I took a sip of my sweet tea and glanced up. A group of five women I recognized was walking toward my table. James was on high alert, but I held up my hand to signal him to hold back. “I want to hear them out.”

I had decided to face them–for my parents, for Alexander, and for myself. Some of them were lying, and I needed to call them out.
