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 .
