Chapter 0084 +25 BONUS Chapter 0084 Ella POV My phone buzzed , and I glanced at the screen .
It was another direct message from a young woman I had never met , someone whose name I didnt recognize .
Her profile picture showed a pretty blonde , smiling in a way that made me feel uneasy .
I didnt have to read the message to know what it would say Are you dating Alexander Black ? You should dump him .
Hos bad news .
You cant trust him ! You have no idea what hes really like .
Please believe me I dont want him to do to you what he did to me .
It was the sixth message like this I had received in the last two days .
Nadia had only been the first .
More women , each with their own warnings , seemed to be coming out of the shadows to protect me from Alexander .

I had to admit that it bothered me , even though I had known it would happen .
Youve gotten popular lately , Elizabeth said , glancing at my phone as it buzzed again .
It just keeps going off .
I smiled apologetically .
I should just silence it .
Its nothing important .
Are you sure ? she asked , her voice laced with obvious concern .
Η Alexander had an important meeting and was busy all day , but I had come to the Capitol anyway , hoping to spend a little time with Elizabeth We texted constantly now , and our conversations had become a bright spot in my day .
It was comforting to have a true friend to rely on when everything else felt so strange and complicated .
Its really nothing , I insisted , brushing it off .
Is it … more of those women ? she asked softly .
I turned my gaze away , unable to meet her eyes .
I should have known things with Alexander were going too well .
Wed had so much fun together in the first couple of weeks of our fake relationship more fun than I ever imagined when this whole charade began .
Then , Nadia approached me in the food court , and the reality of everything came crashing down .
Alexander had a past , one he couldnt just outrun or pretend didnt exist .
Many women who had been involved with Alexander were coming forward , sharing their experiences with the media .
Most of the stories were minor complaints that he was selfish , flighty , forgetful , just not a good boyfriend .
But some were more damaging .
I had a hard time believing that Alexander could be the violent , vindictive man they described .
I had attempted to do some research on the women , but some of them had no social media presence , which struck me as suspicious .
I read the stories about Alexanders odd behavior how he would disappear for days without a word , refusing to explain where he had been .
How he always seemed too busy with work , even when he had made plans and promised hed show up for a particular date or event .
Many of these women had warned me that they believed Alexander had been cheating on them , It was the only explanation they could find for his strange behavior .
I had to admit , I couldnt think of a better one .
I knew Alexander worked hard , and running a large , powerful pack came with immense responsibility , but that didnt explain him vanishing in the middle of the night .
It didnt explain staying away for days on end , without so 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0004 much as a word of explanation .
It bothered me to think that Alexander might be the kind of person who could do that .
I couldnt help but wonder if I had chosen the wrong person to aid in the campaign for king .
After all , if Alexander really could betray his lover , why would be be loyal to the kingdom ? It shouldnt bother me , of course .
Our relationship wasnt real .
But I couldnt stop thinking about it .
I didnt want to believe I had traded one cheater for another Ella , Elizabeth said gently , interrupting my spiraling thoughts , do you want to talk about whats going on with you and Alexander ? Nothings going on with us , I aid quickly .
Everythings been great between us , honestly .
Hes better than I could have imagined .
Its just … these stories that are coming out about him .
Im not sure how I should feel about it all , you know ? Of course , that makes sense , Elizabeth said .
You have feelings for him , but you dont want to be a fool and ignore the warning signs .
Im sure its a very complicated position to be in .
