Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0039 We were told that the plan had changed , the hairdresser n sponded weakly .

You might as well finish it now that youve started .

Ill be back in 10 minutes , Isaid before walking out the door .

I needed a moment to regain my composure .

If I wasnt careful , I would reveal too much .

My anger at Amanda would seem like an overreaction , and while some people would forgive that , seeing as the wedding day is extremely stressful , it would look bad to others .

I needed to make sure my reputation didnt take any damage .

I knew what I had to do .

After taking a few moments to calm myself , I walked back into the room .

It looked like Amandas hair was finished , straightened , and twisted into a complex braid .

Her makeup looked exceptionally beautiful with bright , eye catching tones .

She looked at me when I entered .

Weve just finished , she said .

You look good , I said meekly .

Im really sorry that I lost my temper .

Its just , this morning has been so stressful , and Im so scared .

Amanda looked at me suspiciously , but she must have noticed the pitying looks the other women were giving me as I wrapped my arms firmly around myself .

What do you mean , scared ? she asked .

Im afraid that if things go wrong again , like they have been lately , that Ill embarrass David in front of the king and ruin everything .

Today is so important .

We have to make such a good impression , and Im just so scared of messing something up .

Thats why I asked you to come early today .

I really needed your support , and instead of helping me … I let my words trail off .

I wasnt deliberately trying to upset you , Amanda said uncertainly .

Then why , I asked , motioning to her dress , are you wearing a white gown almost identical to mine ? She looked down at the dress , which was partially hidden under a black hair cape .

Its not white , she said .

Its silver blue .

Its close enough , I replied .

Why are you wearing that instead of the dress we agreed on ? I cant afford the dress you picked , she snapped .

I asked for help paying for it from my family , but my mother wouldnt agree .

She said that if she spent so much money on a luxury item for me , shed have to do it for all of my siblings , and that simply wasnt possible .

This was the only thing I could get .

I had to borrow it from my sister .

Why didnt you just tell me ? I asked .

I could have helped you pay for the dress , or we could have picked out a different one together .

I didnt know how to tell you , she said .

Arent we friends ? I asked .

Amanda looked at me , and I could see conflict in her eyes .

For a moment , I wanted to believe that it was possible to change what had happened between us , just like I had been able to change other things in this new timeline .

But after the hatred I had seen on her face in my original life and after what she had done to me , I knew I couldnt allow myself to trust her , no matter how much I might want to .

Chapter 0039 +25 BONUS The guests will be arriving soon .

Why dont you go downstairs and help greet people ? I said , looking away from her .

Amanda left the room without another word , leaving me standing alone with my conflicting emotions warring within me .

I sighed and sat in the makeup chair.

It will take us a moment to get ready to start , the hairstylist said .

Thats fine , I replied .

I pulled my phone out and started to scroll as I waited .

My heart dropped as I saw a post Amanda had made just moments ago .

It was a selfie of her w of her with her hair and makeup completed , wearing her dress .

She must have taken it in the hallway after she left the room .

There were dozens of likes already , and people were leaving comments complimenting her .

You look gorgeous ! Are you a movie star ? Youre going to steal the spotlight ! I glared at the screen .

There was no denying it now , Amandas goal was to upstage me at my own wedding .

I couldnt let her get away with it .
