Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0091 I have to admit , Im concerned , my mother said , her voice sharp with worry .

You really dont have anything to worry about , I replied , trying to keep my tone steady .

Dont take this the wrong way , sweetheart , she pressed , but Im afraid you havent shown the best judgment recently .

Are you certain that Alexander isnt just manipulating you into believing his lies ? Yes , I confirmed it again calmly , but I could feel impatience rising inside of me .

I could tell they were worried about me trusting Alexander blindly , just as I trusted David .

Everything was different this time , but they couldnt know that .

I had experienced so much in my last life .

And what was between Alexander and me was a solid contract , but not ….

love .

There was no way for me to explain all of this to them .

Darling , my father began gently , your mother and I love you , and we only want whats best for you .

Were concerned that a relationship with a man who has a questionable history with women isnt whats best .

And with the media still so interested in your life , my mother added , her voice tight , jumping into this .

it might not be the wisest choice .

If David hadnt dragged things out the way he did , maybe it would be different , but But what ? I interrupted .

Im supposed to let Davids behavior keep controlling my life ? You know thats not what were saying , my father said firmly , but I could hear the tension building in his voice , 100 .

Then what are you saying ? I snapped , shocking all of us You dont know him , Ella , my mother shot back , her voice breaking slightly .

And with everything you could be making a mistake .

What if Alexander is lying to you just like David did ? Silence fell , thick and uncomfortable .

I thought at first that I just couldnt bear my parents worrying about me .

But now I suddenly realized that my parents comparing Alexander to David was even harder for me to accept .

My father cleared his throat , but I refused to look at either of them , gripping the edge of my chair to keep from shaking .

They didnt know the truth .

They couldnt .

Ive thought it through , I said firmly , my voice tight .

And I will find a way to prove that to you .

Ella , I trust you can find your proof for us , my father said his tone calm but commanding .

But I think were missing the most important factor here .

My heart raced .

Whats that ? I asked , trying to keep the unease out of my voice .

How do you really feel about Alexander ? His eyes locked on mine .

I know you were interested in him initially , but now that youve been seeing each other for a few weeks , how do you feel ? Really .

1 froze , my grip tightening on the armrest .

The question rattled me .

My emotions were tangled there was the deal we had made , the stakes tied to his future , and my own growing feelings .

But what was I supposed to say ? Could I even admit the truth to myself ? I love him , I whispered , the words feeling heavier than I expected .

I really do .

My fathers expression softened .

If thats the case , then you have our full support .

My mother sighed , but it wasnt with relief it was resignation .

Im sorry for losing my temper , I said softly .

Im just not explaining myself well .

The truth is , that I believe some of the women coming forward have been coerced to do so .

I believe that someone is behind this and its an attempt to ruin Alexanders reputation .

Thats a serious accusation , my mother said .

Are you sure about this ? I nodded .

I knew without a doubt that it was true , even if I didnt have proof .

If thats the case , then you have our support , she said , although she still sounded uncertain .

Thank you , I said , my voice thick with emotion .

Ill deal with this , I promise you .

I know Ill be able to get to the bottom of whats really going on .

I had to .

If Alexander and I failed if our plan fell apart it wouldnt just be my future at stake .

My parents lives were on the trust , had no idea how dange .

The very people sitting here , trying to protect me from a man they didnt fully the situation truly was .

It was the only way to protect everyone I cared about .
