All Chapters of ROOM 2808: The Billionaire's Twin Heirs Are My Vendetta: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

The Grand De Luca Hotel never smelled like this from the service hallway.From the lobby, it smelled like money and lilies. From the service hallway on the 28th floor, it smelled like bleach and damp mops. That was my world.I was twenty-one. My name tag said ELENA - TRAINEE. My uniform was two sizes too big.Mrs. Reyes shoved the cart at me at nine forty."Room 2808. VIP. Mr. Alessandro De Luca himself. He wants extra towels, extra water, no disturbance unless he calls. You got it? And Elena, do not look at him. Do not talk to him unless he talks to you. That man can buy this entire hotel and fire us with one phone call.""Yes ma'am."Everyone knew Alessandro De Luca. Thirty, billionaire heir, face on every business magazine. And I was about to knock on his door.I pushed the cart. The wheel squeaked. The hallway was too quiet. The carpet swallowed every sound.Room 2808 was at the very end. Double doors, dark walnut, gold numbers 2808.I knocked."Housekeeping."No answer."Housekee

The door opened and the whole temperature of the 45th floor boardroom dropped twenty degrees.I was still standing, my arms crossed, my black Armani suit feeling too tight, my red lipstick smudged from crying, my CEO mask half broken because five minutes ago I whispered the truth I hid for four and a half years. "They are yours, Alessandro.

The woman who destroyed me. The woman who told the police I stole a Patek Philippe watch worth two million pesos from Room 2808. The woman who told Mrs. Reyes to give me bitter water that tasted
