VICTORIA’S POV
“She stole my diamond bracelet!” Camilla pointed at me. There were a few guards and the manager with her, none of whom knew of my identity.
Well, my public appearance was a great deal to the corporate people and not the general public.
Her words hung in the air like a heavy fog, eliciting gasps from those around us. Suddenly, all eyes were fixed upon our intertwined gazes, the intensity of which seemed to set the room ablaze.
I felt Alessandro’s arm wrapped around me tightly, pulling me closer, which made me smile inside.
I’m not particularly concerned about the attention-seeking antics of that unstable woman. However, I am deeply troubled by her mental well-being. It’s imperative that she seeks treatment soon before it’s too late.
Alessandro pulled me close to him. “What are you doing?” He seemed confused. “What do you mean by she stole your whatever thing?”
Camilla cried as she shook her head. “Oh, Aless! You should know how jealous and psycho she is!”
Oh! Really? as I heard her words.
“She stole the bracelet you gave me as a gift. That was the only thing I had with me! I even wore it today, and she stole it! She is a jealous woman!”
The manager stepped forward, “Excuse me, madam, this young lady claimed that she lost her bracelet and you stole it.”
“What proof do you have that I stole it?” I asked, feeling a little funny and not at all angry.
Well, my mood is so good today. I am not worried at all, as I already know the outcome. Let’s just see how long she can continue with her acting.
“You want proof, huh? Then let them search you! Let the world see what a lowlife you truly are – a brazen thief who preys on others’ possessions.”
Well, I certainly know what she meant by ‘stealing,’ and it pertains to Aless. I will not tolerate such accusations.
I shook my head. “I won’t let anyone search me. Now what?” I feign anger, while internally, I am not truly upset.
“Don’t you dare stop them from searching you,” she said as she stepped forward. Watching her, she looked like a paranoid personality and someone who only lived in her imagination.
Is she still imagining me as Victoria Blake, who didn’t know how to stand up for herself?
“And who dares to search me?” I said indifferently.
Camilla laughed, and it sounded like a maniac. “If you refuse to be searched, it means you are lying!”
At that moment, all the guests in the room are staring at us.
A few people went as far as to accuse me, saying things like, “Isn’t she Alessandro Devonte’s woman? How could she behave that way, especially while pregnant?”
“She looks so pretty, but her deeds are so cheap!”
“Doesn’t she has big connections? What a jealous woman!”
Of course, those come from people still unaware of my identity. But, those who know me are standing stunned, their eyes roaming from Camilla to me occasionally. They are in a daze, and Aless too.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” he growls in a hoarse, angry tone. He was about to step forward when I stopped him, holding his hand.
I leaned forward to him. “Calm down, baby. It’s alright.”
He reluctantly stepped back but didn’t move his hand from me.
“How can you say this lady is a thief when you haven’t found any evidence yet?” Someone said from the guests.
“Camilla is the lady of the White family. How can she be wrongly accused?” Someone else said.
“Then I guess you certainly don’t know who she is,” the former said.
The guests appeared to have split into two factions and were engaging in their own arguments.
At that moment, the security guard approached me and commanded in a stern tone, “Excuse me, Miss, you need to cooperate with us and submit to a search.”
Alessandro finally lost it, and a deep voice fell from behind as he was about to grab the manager.
“Who dares to touch her?”
We all turned around, and I smiled, seeing my brother standing in his domineering appearance. I guess all men around me are domineering in their way.
“Who dares to make trouble with my sister in our hotel?”
I shrugged as my brother came beside me.
“Brother, Camilla said I stole her bracelet and wants those men to search me!” I transformed from a self-assured woman into the princess of my family, with not one but two adoring men by my side. With such affection lavished upon me, is there truly a need to maintain my facade of confidence?
I guess I am spoilt much.
“Oh, so this beautiful lady is Antonio’s sister!”
“So, she is the heiress of the Edwards!”
“Miss White is in trouble now.”
The gasps of the guests came around as the manager and guards froze in their places.
“I have always witnessed Miss White incessantly bothering Mr. Devonte. And whenever he’s in the company of Miss Edwards, she seems to be consumed by jealousy, to the point of making absurd accusations against a woman who is incredibly capable and accomplished,” one young guest spoke.
Antonio looked at Camilla’s side, “I want to see who dares to bully my sister in Edwards’ hotel.” He then looked at the manager standing next to Camilla.
The manager has already lost his color. “M… Mr. Antonio, it’s not me. It was this woman who said that this lady stole her bracelet!”
Antonio laughed, already taking his cold posture, “Camilla, it’s you again? How shameless you are.”
Camilla’s mental state was disturbed, as evidenced by her following words.
“Yes! It’s your sister who stole my bracelet. Because she is jealous of me.”
Antonio shrugged and then turned to Alessandro. “She claims you gifted her a bracelet, did you?”
Alessandro shook his head. “I wasn’t ever in a close relationship with her. A gift was never an option. She is lying.”
Antonio turned to the manager. “Get all the hotel surveillance related to Camilla and call the police to investigate. I want to see who stole the bracelet that never existed.”
I noticed how Camilla’s face turned pale, and she became nervous.
She suddenly smiled. “Ah, I… I guess I was wrong! I… think I remembered where I put the bracelet.”
Antonio laughed, “It’s good to hear that, but I see you are not in good mental health, Miss White. I advise you to go home early and have a good rest.”
He literally said my point.
“Take her away.” He ordered the guards.
After Camilla was taken away, Antonio turned to us, and I smiled.
“Thank you, Ant.” I hugged him, and he hugged me back. After we parted, his eyes fell on Alessandro.
“Victoria loves you so much, Alessandro. She is a kind human being, but I am not. You have her, but that doesn’t mean you can do anything hurtful to her, and I will let you go.”
He stepped toward him. “I warn you, Alessandro Devonte. My eyes will always be on you. One mistake, and I will destroy you in the next second.”
Aless took a step forward too. “Even if that happens, you won’t have to come looking for me. I’ll come to you myself,” he said.
“You better be,” he warned.
The situation was heating up, and I stood in the middle. “Antonio, look.” I showed him my finger. “Aless proposed to me!” I smiled brightly.
He watched the ring and caressed my head. “Are you happy?”
I nodded.
“Then, that’s all it matters.”
As we were talking, I heard the host gaining our attention.
“Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we all gathered to congratulate DW Wine Corp’s owner and Director for his success in the industry. Please welcome with applause the man himself…”
Slowly, we saw a shadow appearing on the stairs. He seemed well built and… Oh!
I gasped the moment he appeared with his glamour. It felt like my world had just turned upside down. At that moment, everything around me came to a halt.
“Dominic…” I heard Alessandro’s shocked gasp right beside me…
