Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0303 August had never trusted Kila , 1 could already Imagine what he was thinking that I had finally discovered something to prove her true motives were underhanded .

I couldnt exactly correct him .

Not without revealing something that might hint at the truth Ella had just confided in me As uncertain as I felt about all of this , I wouldnt betray her trust .

Still , I had to be absolutely certain that what she told me was the truth that there wasnt some underlying mental illness or family history of psychosis that I had missed .

I believed her .

Shed been so sincere .

I didnt think it was passible for someone to fake that kind of emotion .

But I had to be 100 % sure .

Part of me just didnt want to believe it , because it meant I was going to have to deal with Sabrina again .

And I had hoped never to see her perfect face for the rest of my life .

The way things had ended between us , it was only natural that I felt this level of animosity at least , thats what I told myself .

One other thing , August .

Yes , sir ? I need you to see if you can track down Sabrina .

At the sound of her name , Augusts eyes widened , and a flicker of anger crossed his face .

Why ? I stared at him , disbelief clearly written on my face .

August never questioned my orders .

He asked for clarification at times , but he never outright questioned me .

Ella has heard from her … mysterious sources that Sabrina could become a problem for us in the election , I said carefully , ensuring that I didnt lie to him while also not revealing too much .

And you believe her ? She doesnt know Sabrina , I pointed out .

Ive never spoken about her with Ella .

Never mentioned her .

There should be no way for her to know .

And yet , she told me that a beautiful blonde woman is going to unleash the scandal that will destroy my political career .

Who else could that possibly be ? August was silent for a long moment .

Then he simply said , Yes , sir .

非 Thank you , I said softly .

None of this was pleasant for August .

Hed been with me through the worst of my depression after things ended with Sabrina .

He was possibly the only person who truly understood how much this troubled me .

1 I have to go , I muttered , rubbing my temple in firm, slow circles to stave off the headache building behind my eyes .

I cant be late .

Of course , August said .

The car is waiting .

Send me a text if you need anything else , and Ill get started on that work immediately .

Very good , I said , grabbing the cup of coffee waiting for me on my desk before turning toward the exit .

The idea of facing Ellas father right now was daunting .

Not only had I just heard from Dr.

Brianna McIntyre that 1/2 here had been a plot to kill him , but Kila had just told me that originally , he really had died .

His daughter had confessed things to me that she hadnt to another living soul not even him , despite how close they were .

In a way , I almost felt like I had oversteppe Why Ella chose to confide in me and no one else was beyond me .

True enough , her story was difficult to accept , but her father seemed like such a loving , devoted parent .

I just couldnt imagine him dismissing her or worse , rejecting her .

I forced those thoughts out of my mind .

Now wasnt the time for any of this .

I needed to put on that same charming smile I always used when facing the public the one that got me out of trouble 90 % of the time and helped me cover up when my personal life was falling apart.

I had to play the part of Alexander Black , no matter how uncertain I felt of myself at the moment .
