Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0338

Ella POV

In all the chaos and confusion of the last few days, I had completely forgotten that Alexander and I were supposed to be hosting a party to celebrate the beginning of construction on the solar farm.

It was an unnecessary PR move-an opportunity for people to speak with Alexander and be reminded of the good he was doing for the kingdom in the lead-up to the election

In light of Archer's release the other day, the party had become even more important. We had to put up a strong front, to show that we weren't intimidated or swayed into changing our plans over a little tension.

I wished more than anything that we didn't have to do this, but it wasn't avoidable. I couldn't leave Alexander to handle it alone, forcing him to make excuses for me- though he had offered.

Alexander was dressed in a perfectly tailored suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs, while I wore a soft blue dress that fell just below my knees, paired with the diamond jewelry set he had given me as a gift at my wedding to David.

I knew we looked incredible together-the photos from the event would be striking, casting us in the best possible light. But that did little to ease my tension.
