Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

2/2 Chapter 0307 I poked at the strawberry topping and said , Hello , Elizabeth .

Hello , Mrs.

Black , she teased .

So , you saw that , I replied , equally amused .

There was a lot of power behind the word wife , wasnt there ? Elizabeth said .

I think they actually made him mad .

Ive never seen Alexander mad before .

Dont exaggerate , I said .

They annoyed him , and he let them know to back off .

Thats all .

Well , I hope Damien would defend me with the same vigor if he were annoyed , Elizabeth replied .

Im confident he would , I said .

There was a long silence from Elizabeth that made me wonder if the call had disconnected .

A glance at the screen confirmed it hadnt .

Are you still there ? I cked .

Yeah , she said .

Look , I wish I was just calling to tease you about the press conference , but theres serious news I need to discuss with you .

My heart sank .

Well , thats not good , I muttered .

Has something happened ? You spoke to my father yesterday , she said .

So , Im sure this wont be a complete surprise , but I wanted to let you know that both David and Archer Gray were arrested this morning .

My heart stopped beating .

I stared at Elizabeths name on the screen , but I wasnt really seeing it .

I wasnt seeing anything .

What she was telling me didnt feel real .

I knew it was coming , but I didnt expect it to be so immediate .

Which was ridiculous .

Id heard the king give the order myself , but still … Youre sure ? I asked .

Positive , she replied .

Theyre being held in my fathers private custody .

He doesnt want a public outcry on their behalf , so hes trying to keep things secret .

I wanted to make sure you knew , since it wont be in the news .

I wanted you to know , so you could rest a little easier .

A nervous laugh escaped my lips , and I shook my head .

No I cant , I said .

But Im relieved to know that things are happening progress is happening .

Ella , you sound strange , she said , concern evident in her tone .

I know this must be a lot to accept .

It is , I agreed .

And Im sorry if Im concerning you .

Please dont worry about me .

Im going to be just fine .

Im just not sure what this means .

How so ? I mean , they have other allies .

I feel like its going to be obvious that this has something to do with me .

I dont know what to expect .

I mean , Amanda wasnt arrested , was she ? No , Elizabeth said , her voice tense .

There wasnt enough evidence against her .

That makes sense , I said softly .

Thank you so much for letting me know , Elizabeth .

Ill talk to you soon .

I just need a few minutes to process all of this .

Take all the time you need , she said sincerely .

1/2 **** ) .

+25 BONUS Chapter 0809 Thank you , I said before ending the call .

This was it , then .

It was all really happening , and yet I felt like I was in more danger than ever .

There was so much more going on here .

Id have to rely on lexanders resources until there was enough evidence against Amanda to act if only I knew what those resources were , or where they came from .

A renewed sense of frustration overcame me .

Alexander had promised me that he would tell me what was going on , that he would open up and reveal the truth , but he still hadnt done it .

I spilled my guts to him , yet he kept his secrets .

It didnt seem fair .

Just as the heat of my anger was reaching a boiling point , beard the front door lock click open , and Alexander stepped in .

I jumped to my feet and stormed towards him , my anger getting the better of me .

We need to talk , now ! I declared .
