Chapter 0055 Chapter 0055 +25 BONUS Third person POV Amandas life was over without David as her inate ; she had no future .
And without Ella as her friend , she had no resources .
Everything that she had fought to gadu for herself vanished in an instant , all because Ella had burst into the room with some stupid cake to wish her a happy birthday .
As if Amanda would forgive her for planning her wedding the day before her birthday just because Ella gave her a couple of silly presents .
It was all ruined and for nothing .
David wouldnt speak to her .
He wouldnt answer her phone calls or reply to her letters .
She was okay with taking the blame for what had happened in public ; she understood that David had a reputation to protect .
After all , he wanted to become king someday .
But that didnt mean that he had to cut her off completely .
The only explanation was that he was doing it because of Ella .
He must have concluded that he could only win Ella back if he cut Amanda off completely .
He might be right ; he usually was .
But that didnt mean that Amanda had to accept it Amanda could endure a lot for David .
She accepted her parents disappointment in her and the mockery of her siblings .
She accepted that many members of her own pack were openly rejecting her over what happened .
She even accepted that David had publicly blarned her .
But she couldnt accept his silence .
This was all Ellas fault .
If she would just stop overreacting to things , then everything would be fine .
She had already gone through the ceremony of marrying David .
It was ridiculous for her to back out of the binding ceremony at the last moment .
Wasnt it more embarrassing to let a scandal like this go public than to just keep silent and go through with th political marriage ? Amanda would have done it if she weren Ellas place .
But the spoiled little princess had to have everything perfect .
Well , she wasnt going to get away with it this time .
Amanda was going to make sure of that .
She was going to show Ella exactly what it felt like to be the subject of a public scandal .
All of the mockery and shame that Amanda was being forced to endure , she would bring to Ella as well .
Maybe then she wouldnt feel so high and mighty .
Amanda had a lot of contacts who were willing to do just about anything for a little bit of money , so she reached out to one of them a rogue she could trust to be silent if he got caught .
What she was asking him for wasnt much , really ; all she wanted was for him to kiss Ella .
Make it somewhere public , where people would see and maybe even get some video .
Then , once word got out that Ella was seen kissing a man in public , people would believe she wasnt faithful either .
Her reputation would be damaged just like Amandas was .
Amanda could make everyone believe that Ella had been secretly seeing a lover behind Davids back .
Then people would see them as even .
Ella would be forced to take David back , and David would forgive Amanda .
Everything would be the way it was supposed to be .

Amanda could fix this ; she had to .
So she called the rogue and arranged it all .
Now , all she had to do was wait .
Ellas POV Things had been strange since the failed wedding , but I was doing my best not to lose sight of my goals .
I was determined to become the alpha of my pack when my father was ready to retire , and I knew exactly how much +25 BONUS Chapter 0055 work that would entail .
I couldnt afford to slack off .
My father had an important meeting in the capital , and he agreed to let me tag along with him .
I wouldnt be able to attend the actual meeting itself , but I knew that my presence would still make an impact and show my dedication to the affairs that concerned my pack .
When my father went into his meeting , I went outside to take a walk around the block and get some fresh air .
I had been hoping to meet up with Alexander in person for a short while , but unfortunately , he wasnt available .
It was probably for the best ; we didnt want to risk being seen together too much until we were ready to let the public begin to speculate about the nature of our relationship .
David was still reaching out to me nearly every day .
I was beginning to feel impatient .
I knew I had to ignore that feeling , though , the end result was too important to risk it just because I was eager to move on .
I knew that there was nothing real between Alexander and me , but the simple fact that I enjoyed spending time with him was enough .
There had been very little joy in my life recently , thanks to David and Amanda .
I looked forward to simply having pleasant conversations with someone with whom I was on equal footing .
Alexander didnt have any secret ulterior motives in our relationship because our relationship was business .
We were helping each other out and understood the terms we were working under .
No one was trying to steal power from the other , nor were we trying to trick each other into thinking our feelings were something more than they were .
It was an easy kind of honesty that I craved after everything Id been through with David and Amanda and all of their lies .
It may have been my imagination , but I felt like Alexander also enjoyed spending time with me .
He seemed to be in a good mood whenever we talked and appeared sincere on the occasions when he complimented me , which seemed to be happening more frequently .
I felt that he was probably practicing for when our fake relationship became public , but it made me feel good nonetheless .
It was a nice day out , and there were a lot of people walking around the capital .
It was nice to just enjoy the fresh air and clear my head .
So much had been happening recently ; I felt like I hardly had a chance to think things through I turned a corner and began to head back towards the building where my fathers meeting was being held .
He would be wrapping up soon , and I didnt want him to be stuck waiting around for me .
There were several tall office buildings on this road , with narrow alleys in between .
The alleys served as shortcuts to some of the buildings , but for where I was going , it was quicker to just walk directly down the street .
As I was passing one of the side alleys , I caught motion out of the corner of my eye I turned and saw a tall , dark haired man stepping out of the shadows .
Something about him looked familiar , but I couldnt place it .
Something about the man made me afraid .
I froze to the spot as I stared at him .
The man looked back at me and grinned .
My heart jumped , but I realized too late that the man was dangerous .
I turned away from him , ready to run , but he grabbed my arm and yanked me backward into the alleyway .
