"Why are you still awake?" I asked.

"I'm going over a report," she replied, barely glancing up from her laptop.

"On what?"

She turned the screen toward me.

"Diana's actions over the past two months," she said.

I stared at her, stunned. How the hell did she know something was going on with Diana?

"Who told you?" I demanded.

Ella frowned. "Told me what?"

"That Diana is working with Amanda."

Her face went pale. "She's what?"

My confusion deepened. If she didn't already know... "Then why are you getting reports on Diana?"

"I asked my father to send me any information he could access about her recent actions," she explained. " Elizabeth called me earlier, just before you left for work. She told me Diana is the one who's been meeting with the king."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

Ella sighed. "I wanted to make sure I had real data to back it up. I didn't want it to seem like I was accusing your

She turned to me then, her gaze sharp. “Now, what do you mean Diana is working with Amanda?"

"No," Alexander answered confidently. "It's true. I rewatched the security footage from the border, and now that I know what to look for, it's obvious."

"If she's working with Amanda, that means she's tried to kill me," I said, a sick feeling twisting in my stomach.

I didn't like Diana, but I never would have guessed she hated me that much.

I racked my brain, trying to think of anything I'd done to offend her. Why?

Before I could spiral further, Alexander suddenly wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his lap. I went stiff at first, instinctively resisting the embrace, but after a few seconds, I melted into him.
