Mag-log inCamille walked out of the private lounge and made her way back to the booth.The moment she stepped inside, she noticed the unusual silence hanging over the room.The lively atmosphere from earlier had completely disappeared. Several guests were gathered around the sofa, where Felix sat with a miserable expression. Someone had apparently discovered him and brought him back to the booth. A man was attending to his injuries while Stella sat beside him, pressing an ice pack against his forehead.The moment Stella spotted Camille, she immediately stood up."Vivienne!"She stormed towards her, her face twisted with anger."Why the hell did you hit Felix? Do you have any idea what you've done?"Camille glanced at her sister's furious expression before casually folding her arms across her chest."My sweet sister, shouldn't I be asking what Felix did to deserve such treatment?"Stella's expression faltered for a second.Before she could respond, Felix's irritated voice came from behind her."
Camille opened the door to the VIP lounge and strode inside.Her eyes swept across the luxurious interior, giving the impression that she was admiring the decor. In reality, she was identifying every possible exit in case things went wrong.Matteo Rodriguez was already seated in the centre of the room. The moment she entered, he raised a hand, silently instructing Diego and the guards to leave.They obeyed immediately, and the door closed behind them.“Vivienne Marcello,” Matteo began, leaning back in his chair. “I'm glad you've honoured my invitation.”Camille walked forward and settled into the seat opposite him.“More like a summons, Mr Rodriguez. One I had little choice but to accept.”Her response earned her a prolonged stare.“You're quite outspoken,” he remarked. “And dangerously comfortable in a place where you should be watching your step.”Camille crossed her legs and offered him a pleasant smile.“Well, I'm simply making myself at home. I'm your guest, after all.”Matteo ro
Camille turned away and headed toward the restroom, eager to escape Stella's irritating presence.The moment she stepped inside, the door opened behind her.Click.She turned sharply at the sound of the lock.Felix.He stood by the door, his gaze roaming over her with an unsettling hunger. A smug smile spread across his face as he watched her fan herself.The aphrodisiac in her wine was finally taking effect—or so he believed.Camille decided to play along.She pressed a hand to her forehead and gave him a confused look. “Felix, what's wrong with me? Why am I suddenly feeling so hot?”His expression brightened.Without wasting another second, he crossed the room and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against his chest.Camille's eyes flashed.Smack!Her palm connected with his cheek.Felix's head snapped sideways. For a moment, he stood motionless, apparently stunned by the unexpected slap. Then he slowly turned back, licking his lips with a disturbing smile.“There's no n
Matteo struck first.Within a fraction of a second, he closed the distance between them, his fist cutting toward Camille's face. She dodged just in time, then countered with a sharp kick.He caught her leg.Without hesitation, Camille twisted in his grip, flipped through the air, and landed several feet away.They attacked again, exchanging blows with frightening precision. Camille knew Matteo was faster and stronger than most men she had encountered. Worse, he was holding back.She couldn't afford to stay long enough to discover his true strength.When he lunged again, she ducked beneath his arm and kicked his side, forcing him to step back.Seizing the opportunity, she rushed through the door and disappeared into the hallway.“Find her!” Matteo barked.He summoned the hotel manager and ordered a thorough search. Guards spread throughout the building, checking corridors, elevators, and exits.But Camille had already escaped through the kitchen.Outside, she blended into the busy stre
Camille looked at Stella mockingly, watching the fear gradually spread across her face.Finally, she seemed to grow bored and released her. Stella collapsed onto the floor, her body still trembling.Camille bent down and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up."Stella, killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant. Remember that I'm in control here, and stay out of my way."She released her chin and stood up, leaving Stella frozen in fear as she walked away.......After freshening up, Camille sat in her room with her laptop open. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as encrypted codes flashed across the screen.Since legitimate websites offered little useful information about the Rodriguez family, she turned to the dark web.Fortunately, her search wasn't in vain.Matteo Rodriguez, the eldest son of the family, usually resided at the Rodriguez Mansion but frequently stayed at a private residential suite in Regalia Hotel.A smirk appeared on Camille's face."Bingo."She quickly se
Lucas finally stopped a few metres away from her. His eyes swept over Camille with undisguised disdain before a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Who do you think you are to judge me, Vivienne?" he asked coldly. "You ain't even worthy of carrying my shoes." Camille stared at him for a moment. Then she rolled her eyes. "As if anyone would even be willing to carry the shoes you wear." Lucas's expression instantly darkened. Damn. This girl had far more guts than he'd expected. Most people became nervous the moment they heard the name Rodriguez. Some would flatter him, while others would immediately try to win his favour. But Vivienne Marcello? She wasn't even remotely intimidated. Instead, she seemed determined to annoy him. "You—" Before Lucas could finish, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them. "What are the both of you doing here?" Stella. Her voice was filled with suspicion. The way she looked between Lucas and Camille made it seem as t
