Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 357

Ella POV

“Everything happened so differently the first time around, I said, my voice quieter now, almost reflective.

Amanda’s glare didn’t waver, but I could see the flicker of confusion in her eyes.

“David and I were married. The ceremony was beautiful, and I couldn’t have been happier. I got a little tipsy—I suspect now that he put something in my drink, because I hadn’t had that much. When I passed out in our room, he snuck out… to celebrate your birthday with you.”

She glared but said nothing.

“You and David continued your affair, but I was too focused on my father’s sudden illness to notice. And then he died.”

That gave him the edge he needed in the election–along with the scandal surrounding Alexander. Rumors, revelations about his past… At the time, he was single. Eventually, he married Fiona, but it wasn’t enough to save his reputation. And so David won. He became King. I became the Luna Queen.”
