Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0210 Chapter 0210 He certainly would , I agreed .

A text notification chimed on my phone , and Alexanders name lit up the screen .

I opened the message immediately .

Alexander : She had fun .

Thank you .

Me : Youre welcome .

Alexander : Do you really love the dress you chose today ? Me : Its very nice .

Alexander : Im a little concerned .

After what happened with the venue , I worry Amanda might try to copy your dress again .

The thought made my stomach twist , though it had crossed my mind before .

Me : But what can we do ? Alexander : Use the dress as a reference and have a custom gown made .

Me : We dont have time .

Alexander : Leave that to me .

Ill arrange everything if you agree to it .

What is it ? my mother asked , noticing the frown on my face .

You look worried .

Everythings fine , I said quickly , though my voice betrayed a hint of hesitation .

Alexander is just worried that Amanda might try to copy the dress .

He thinks I should get it customized .

Thats not a bad idea , she replied .

But there isnt time , I argued .

If Alexander is suggesting it , he probably has a way to pull it off , she pointed out .

Her confidence in him made me pause .

Maybe she was right .

If anyone could make the impossible happen , it was Alexander .

Me : What made you think of this suddenly ? Alexander : Look at the news .

My heart dropped .

I stared at his words , a sense of dread building in my chest .

What have they done now ? I muttered , exiting the text thread and opening the news app Right there on the front page was an article about Amanda and Davids wedding .

I clicked on it , the headline glaring at me like a taunt .

Oh dear , my mother said , leaning over my shoulder to read along .

Were so excited to have booked the most exclusive venue in the capital , she read aloud .

Her voice tightened with disbelief .

The venue that you chose ? Yes , I admitted with a sigh .

But weve already found a solution .

I wanted to surprise you with it .

My mothers expression darkened as she focused back on the article .

Shes publicly bragging about stealing your 1/2 { * $ 25 BONUS Chaolet 0210 wedding venue .

A sharp , angry look crossed her face as she continued reading .

When asked about sharing a wedding date with rival Ella Rowan , she read aloud , the bride to be responded , Oh , I hadnt even noticed .

I clenched my fists , the audacity of Amandas words striking me like a slap .

She stole your venue and your date ? my mother scoffed , her voice dripping with disbelief .

Of course , Alexander is concerned shell copy your dress as well .

The woman really has no shame .

Has she always copied you like this ? Not that I ever noticed , I said , shaking my head .

But thats because she was too busy bullying me and making me seem like an immature brat .

I never should have taken her advice .

My mothers silence drew my attention .

She stared at me mutely , her gaze heavy enough that I looked away from the phone .

There was anger in her expression , yes , but beneath it lay a flicker of sadness that made my chest ache .

Is that what changed ? she asked softly after a pause .

Is that why youve started dressing differently ? Acting the way you have ? Because you felt like people were bullying you ? An unexpected wave of emotion hit me and tears jumped to my eyes .

Amanda had manipulated me so well in the original timeline that I hadnt even realized it until the moment she murdered me .

Now , seeing my mothers anger at the truth , I felt the betrayal all over again .

My mother pulled me into her arms and I leaned against her heavily as I cried .
