Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Cha Alexander Pay It shouldnt change anything .

I thought of Ellas words bitterly as I made my way down to the office .

It wasnt fair for me to feel bitter about this Ella was right the fact that we felt the pull shouldnt change anything between us .

I had already come to terms with the fact that I cared about her .

I thought she cared for me too .

Maybe I had overestimated myself .

Of course , now that I knew the truth about her , it made sense .

Ella was avenging her own death and the death of her father .

She was angry , hurt , and determined .

Once again , I found myself admiring her .

If I were in her position , I doubted I could have been so calculated .

My anger would have gotten the better of me .

I would have acted rashly , violently .

But not Ella .

She formulated a plan and executed it flawlessly .

Falling apart now , when we were so close , would be foolish .

That didnt mean her words didnt sting .

Then there was the blonde woman she had mentioned .

A scandal that ruined me .

It could only be Sabrina .

Supermodel good looks and the power to destroy my life no other woman fit that description .

I thought I had learned my lesson from her , but it seemed I had repeated my mistakes with Ella .

I let myself fall for her , and now I was caught between my heart and my logical mind .

I knew what I should do in response to all of this .

I should have Ella committed , rid myself of our false marriage in cruel .

It was essentially a get out of jail free card if I was cold been .

that made me look pitiable rather than a way enough to use it .

And maybe , once , I would have But now ? I wasnt .

Ella had changed me more than she could possibly know .

I only hoped it was for the better .

August was already waiting in my office when I arrived .

Today was the day we finally announced the plans for the solar farm .

Ellas father had been working hard , meeting with Derrick Lake and other officials in the area to ensure that everyone was on board with the project .

It would generate a lot of money and good publicity at a time when many desperately needed it .

I couldnt afford to mess up the announcement just because my head was swimming with everything I had just learned .

I had to hold myself together and put on a good front .

Having August working in the background would help .

I knew I could trust him to handle things behind the scenes so that I could face the moment at hand .

1/2 Augar é sad the moment I walked in , its expression need with concern of course , he could mad it is ny Everymning & fit ? I said Im * fine? I said , Im ready to head to the press conference , but I need you to take care of something for me in the ineantime , Of course .

The concern in his face was quickly replaced be determination .

I need you to be as discreet as possible , I said firmly .

No one can get wind of this .

Not a soul .

Is that clear ? Absolutely , sir , August said without hesitation .

You know you can trust my discretion .

I need you to look into Ellas background .

His eyes widened slightly .

He hesitated for only a moment before asking , Has something happened ? Surely , the background check we did before your arrangement was confirmed would have revealed any Medical history .

School records .

Everything , I interrupted .

I need to know if theres even a hint of any issue in her past that could have been covered up .

Something our initial research may have missed .

The emotions flickering across Augusts face were unmistakable .

He was my advisor , my best friend normally a master of maintaining a stoic front but right now , I saw it clearly .

Concern .

And a hint of smugness .

He was dying to say , I told you so .
