Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0160 Really ? Yes , I assured him with a smile .

Who knows , maybe Ill even learn a little more about you break through that impenetrable shell of yours .

Alexander chuckled , a rich sound that made the corners of my mouth twitch upward .

Id be impressed if you did , he admitted .

But perhaps I shouldnt underestimate you .

You do have a tendency to surprise me .

I couldnt help but smile at that .

The fact that I could surprise a man like Alexander a man so composed and unreadable was no small feat .

And knowing that it amused him made my heart flutter just a bit .

Third Person POV Davids happiness never seemed to last long .

Sure , hed handled the situation with the land Ella had demanded from him , and he was quite pleased with how clever hed been .

He made damn sure that land would be utterly useless devoid of profit for her or anyone else .

His pride swelled at the thought of it , his chest puffed with the certainty that hed outsmarted her .

It felt secure enough to indulge Amanda a little , spending extra to flaunt his financial strength .

Besides , it smoothed things over with her .

She was desperate to take him back , of course , but still wounded by how publicly hed rejected her to pursue Ella .

Amanda understood the necessity of gaining Ellas power , but the sting lingered , and David couldnt bear to see her hurt .

He truly cared for her , after all .

Spoiling her to make up for it didnt bother him until he saw the headline .

The article hit like a punch to the gut .

David had gone to great lengths to move money around , hidi .

.e strain his spending on Amanda had placed on his finances.

Hed even managed to keep it from his father .

Yet somehow , some nosy journalist had dug up the truth .

How they got that information , he didnt know but he would find out .

Someone had betrayed him , and they would pay .

First, though , he had to manage the public fallout .

That was the real threat .

He needed to keep the people on his side , to prove he was worthy of the crown .

A broke king ? Laughable .

David would deny the accusations , of course , no matter how true they were .

But mere denial wouldnt be enough .

He needed something big , something drastic , to shift the narrative .

Originally , hed hoped to save money on the actual wedding , explaining it as a desire for privacy and intimacy after the public fiasco of his first marriage .

The leaked video of Amanda had only bolstered that excuse .

People would understand .

But that plan wouldnt work anymore .

Not after this .

Now , his wedding would need to dazzle .

It had to be the event of the year .

But the wedding was months away , and he couldnt afford to wait that long to counter the rumors .

He needed something sooner something extravagant .

An engagement party .

That was it .

A lavish affair , inviting every Alpha and Luna across the land .

Hed showcase his wealth , his power , and his unity with Amanda .

The rumors would be silenced , and his image restored .

His blood boiled as he glared at the comments section of the article .

People wouldnt stop comparing him to Alexander Black .

It enraged him .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0160 Alexander was nothing a spoiled playboy , a heartless cutthroat who had only swooped in on Ella to embarrass David .

Why couldnt Ella see that ? It was painfully obvious Alexander didnt love her .

No one did .

No one except her parents .

But her parents would be out of the way soon enough .

David clenched his fists , a malicious smirk creeping across his face .

Hed have Ellas land , her power , everything .

One way or another , shed pay for humiliating him .

It was only a matter of time before all his plans came together , and he won .
