Chapter 0144 Chapter 0144 I took a step forward , and Alexander followed closely , his presence beside me a constant , silent reminder for David to tread carefully .
I accepted the papers from David , my hand reaching for the pen , but before I could sign , Alexander gently stopped my hand .
Well review this thoroughly and send a signed copy after my lawyers have gone over it , Alexander said with a polite but unyielding smile .
Ella doesnt sign anything without their approval first .
I gave David a cool smile .
Just a precaution ; I almost forgal .
Davids jaw tightened briefly , but he shrugged , his tone dismissive .
Fine .
You know my address .
Congratulations to you both , I said , directing a warm smile at Amanda .
Im glad we can all close this chapter and move on , finding happiness in our own ways .
David gave a curt nod .
Thank you for coming .
He then turned his attention to the gathered crowd .
Food and drinks will be served shortly .
I hope youll all stay to celebrate with us .
Alexander took a step forward , his hand resting possessively on my waist .
It sounds wonderful , but unfortunately , Ella and I have other business to attend to .
So little time for socializing when youre planning a wedding , as Im sure you both understand .
With that , Alexander guided me toward the car , his arm still around my waist .

As we moved away , a sense of satisfaction bloomed in my chest .
I clutched the signed documents close , knowing we hadnt just reminded the other alphas and Lunas of Davids broken promises and shameful actions but had also secured a small stretch of farmland to help strengthen my packs financial standing .
It was a complete success .
Amanda POV Amanda watched Alexander and Ella walk away , her smile fixed but brittle .
She still wasnt used to so many eyes tracking her every move , analyzing her expression , her posture , her very presence .
But shed practiced for this moment ever since David had finally called her , whispering that he missed her , that he wanted to marry her .
It was everything shed dreamed of .
Now , with their plans set in stone , she knew her happy ending was within reach but not without ridding herself of the woman who had stood in her way for so long .
Ella couldnt be allowed to walk away untouched , her schemes and insults unpunished .
Amanda had tried every angle she could to expose her , to force her to own up to her lies , but every attempt had fallen short That infuriating Alexander had stood between her and her goal , protecting Ella from everything .
But Amanda wasnt out of ideas just yet .
The drug shed obtained for David had worked once without Alexanders interference , it could have left Ella at her mercy .
It was now clear to Amanda : if she wanted to get to Ella , she had to go through Alexander .
She couldnt believe that Alexander Black truly loved a girl like Ella not him .
He was five years older , with a worldliness , intelligence , and poise that were leagues beyond Ellas reach .
The real Ella was awkward and painfully shy , a girl Amanda knew all too well .
Whatever confidence Ella flaunted now was just an act , and it wouldnt hold up under the right pressure .
There had to be a way to break through Alexanders defenses , to make him see Ella as the unworthy fraud Amanda knew her to be .
Amanda would find it.
And once she did , there would be no one left to stand in her way or to stop David from claiming his rightful place as king .
