Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 211

Chapter 0211

Ella POV

I didn’t know how long I cried as my mother rubbed my back and whispered comforting words, but it must have been a while. By the time I managed to pull myself together we were already home. My emotions still felt raw, but I excused myself and went upstairs to my room.

Sadness gave way to a simmering anger as 1 paced the floor Amanda and David had already taken so much from me, yet they had the audacity to continue.

That Amanda would publicly brag about her schemes–not just to hurt me but to parade her actions for the world to see–was not only infuriating but outright shameful. My mother had been right, as she so often was.

None of this made logical sense unless Amanda and David believed they had already won. On one hand, this was a small comfort–it meant our plan to change the venue was still under wraps. Christopher Slater was proving to be as trustworthy as Alexander had promised.

But perception mattered, as much as I hated to admit it. We couldn’t let the public believe I’d fallen victim to their manipulations again.

Resolute, I grabbed my phone and called Alexander.

“You’ve read it,” he said as soon as he answered, his tone calm but edged with understanding.

“I have,” I replied, my voice tight with anger. “I think it’s time we send out our invitations.”

“I just picked them up from the printer this morning,” Alexander said. “August is working on addressing the envelopes as we speak.”

“How soon can we expect people to receive them?”

“I’ll get them in the post tonight and make sure they’re shipped priority,” he assured me. “By tomorrow or the day after, people will start receiving them.”

“That will have to do,” I said, frustration simmering beneath my words. “Going to the media would just make it seem like we’re publicly arguing with them. We can’t let them think we’re playing their game.
