Chapter 0345 Chapter 0345 Why are you still awake ? I asked .
Im going over a report , she replied, barely glancing up from her laptop .
On what ? She turned the screen toward me .
Dianas actions over the past two months , she said .
I stared at her , stunned .
How the hell did she know something was going on with Diana ? Who told you ? I demanded .
Ella frowned .
Told me what ? That Diana is working with Amanda .
Her face went pale .
Shes what ? My confusion deepened .
If she didnt already know … Then why are you getting reports on Diana ? I asked my father to send me any information he could access about her recent actions , she explained .
Elizabeth called me earlier , just before you left for work .
She told me Diana is the one whos been meeting with the king .
Why didnt you tell me ? I asked .
Ella sighed .
I wanted to make sure I had real data to back it up .
I didnt want it to seem like I was accusing your mother for no reason .
She turned to me then , her gaze sharp .
Now , what do you mean Diana is working with Amanda ? Ella POV Exactly what I said , Alexander replied with a tired sigh .
Michael came to see me today .
He overheard a conversation … Diana is the one whos been targeting you .
Are you positive ? I asked forcefully .
Is there any reason Michael would lie about that ? No , Alexander answered confidently .
Its true .
I rewatched the security footage from the border , and now that I know what to look for , its obvious .
If shes working with Amanda , that means shes tried to kill me , I said , a sick feeling twisting in my stomach .
I didnt like Diana , but I never would have guessed she hated me that much .
I racked my brain , trying to think of anything Id done to offend her .
Why ? Before I could spiral further , Alexander suddenly wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his lap .
I went stiff at first , instinctively resisting the embrace , but after a few seconds , I melted into him .
I wasnt really mad at him I was just exhausted and overwhelmed .
I shouldnt take it out on him .
This is too much , I murmured , leaning heavily against his chest .
He pulled me closer , his breath warm against my skin before he pressed his lips to the nape of my neck .
Im not going to let anyone hurt you , he said in a sleepy voice .
No one .
+25 BONUS Chapter 0345 I smiled slightly .
It was a sweet sentiment , even if it felt a little misplaced in the moment .
The reports from my father back up what Elizabeth told me , I said .
There are records of Diana renting cars and hotel rooms for nearly every meeting the king has on his books .
Elizabeth sent you those records ? he asked .
Right , I said .
But she came at other times too .
Im not sure why .
Theres nothing in the records to explain the extra visits .
Sabrina , Alexander said bitterly .

She must have been meeting with her .
You think so ? I asked , unconvinced .
What else would she be doing ? he muttered , kissing my neck again .
She thinks Sabrina can ruin my reputation somehow .
I wish I knew why .
I hesitated .
Well … there is one way to find out .
Alexander was drained and I knew I shouldnt push him too much , but I also knew we were running out of options .
What do you mean ? he asked .
I sighed , guilt creeping in at the suggestion I was ab Chapter 0345 Chapter 0345 Why are you still awake ? I asked .
