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 .
