Chapter 1
The writer's pov
I want to tell you all how it all happened because I was there to witness everything.
Shall we?
It happened on a cold night.
The Royal Hotel and suite had some guests. Important guests to be precise.
Even the staff knew about their coming. From the manager to the door man, all were running helter-skelter to make the guests enjoy their stay.
The whole place was filled with tension and a feeling of uncertainty. Everyone was curious but no one dares to ask the question but i will ask.
“Who are they?”
They were informed that some popular figures had rented the whole hotel for three days.
Just them? I asked in disbelief. I was awe by the audacity.
Money is action.
This is a multi billion hotel that housed only the rich and wealthy with connections. Not even the middle class could afford this Hotel. You can imagine how much they would have paid to book the hotel.
This hotel is basically like one of their playgrounds for these rich people.
Hmm… interesting.
All the staff lined up in two lines, standing tall and their faces bent to the floor as the guest walked in proudly with power and dominance.
The staff can feel their aura and their expensive perfumes. No one was able to say anything or move. They were waiting for instructions. Not from their manager but from HER.
“ Raise your head, my minions.” Her voice came so sharp and powerful, followed by soft giggles.
Damn!
I was stunned by her audacity which made me curious to stay and enjoy the ride.
Of course, the staff obeyed in one accord and they raised their head to set their eyes on the famous Loretta Dela Cruz.
Their eyes showed sheer excitement but their lips said otherwise. Not even a grin was seen on their faces.
Someone spoke. A man. A gorgeous man in the right proportion. Good looking, checked!
Sexy blue eyes, checked!
Plump and juicy lips, double checked!
His build and height, oh my gosh!
Triple checked!
He is a demi god. I think I am dripping hard for him. Get me his number!!!
Wait. Oh, I am sorry… yeah, the story.
Forgive me ( clears my throat in utter embarrassment.)
So where were we?
Oh, yes.
He spoke in a voice that soothes my ears and hugged her in an affectionate way that made me cringed hard.
Not that I care. ( rolls my eye)
“Babe. How do you like these places? Did it meet your expectations?” Adrian asked with full happiness. He seemed excited to please her.
Loretta walked further with a stern face, her brows furrowed and eyes roaming everywhere, screening hard for any errors or mistakes and this got the staff all shaken down. The manager couldn't hide the fear on his face. Thick sweat drizzled down from his pale face.
That two minutes was like the longest time for them. Everywhere was silent as she surveyed sharply.
Adrian noticed the tension, and chose to approach her softly. Caressing her shoulders to get her to relax.
“Babe.” He whispered to her ears. She responded to his voice and turned to face him, a smile appearing on her face which made him relieved.
“I love it!!” Loretta shrieked, jumping into his arms for a tight embrace.
The staff felt relieved a bit because their faces slowly started turning from pale white to red. This was a sign that things will go well.
“This is your first pre -wedding gift.” He announced happily, urging the staff to bring in their luggages.
Deep down, Adrian was worried that his fiancee was going to reject this hotel because she had rejected the previous two stating her reasons for not meeting her required standards.
It was a big feat to acquire this one at a short notice. He was glad that the owner was able to give him a discounted offer because of his friend.
Adrian wanted to give his bride the best wedding ever because he loves her so much.
“I am going to call my friends now! They need to know who is the latest bride to be!” Loretta giggled loudly and headed up to the elevator. One of the staff followed her, holding her luxury handbag with care.
Adrian chuckled deeply and placed a call to his friend who helped him secure the deal.
“Hey, man. Are you still coming?” He asked over the phone.
“I don't know yet. Did she like the place?” The friend asked calmly.
“Oh yes. She did. Loretta is blown away. She is already on Instagram, Tiktok talking about this place. You helped me Bro. You made me feel like a man. I owe you one.” Adrian commented with a smile.
“Sure, anything for you.” The caller acknowledged.
“Yeah. I am still hoping to see you. It won't be complete if you aren’t here. Martins and the others would soon be here. Please show up for me. I need you man.” Adrian begged over the phone.
“I will try. I gotta go.” The caller stated and hung up before Adrian could utter another word. He sighed deeply and shoved the phone into his back pocket.
With a big smile and a happy heart, Adrian Kale walked to the elevator with style. He was getting married to the famous Loretta Dela Cruz, an actress and a song writer.
I followed behind to watch the drama unfold. My gut feeling is telling me that something huge is going to happen soon.
Loretta's pov
I walked into the elevator with this girl beside me. She was being useful actually, carrying my bag that would obviously buy her entire generation.
I am so happy that my man is fulfilling all my wishlist for my dream wedding. I put a video call to my girls and told them the good news.
They were so happy for me. They envied me greatly even though they can't say it to my face, I can see it in them. No one can surpass me. I am good at what I do.
I took some pictures inside the elevator, smiling beautifully because I am a hottie.
I got the looks, brain and beauty. Men drools at my feet and Adrian wasn't an exception. He couldn't resist me. My charms were my everything. One look at me and the men are dropping the seven digits into my account.
The elevator opened and I walked out to be blown away by the grand surprises in the hallway. Decorations of all sorts, balloons and confetti weren't left out.
I was blown away. I wished I could cry but no man had ever made me shed real tears. These things need to be on my social media accounts. My fans need to see this!!!
I decided to do a live video, showing my fans the surprises. I got so much appreciation. My fans could actually die for me. Yes. I am a superstar.
I was making my live video when I saw this useless girl step into my video, interrupting the precious moment. This got me riled up and I stopped the live show to face her.
“Are you dumb?” I asked her angrily. I was fuming in anger. I hated her audacity for ruining my video.
“Uh?” She muttered, gazing at me with those creepy green eyes of hers. I hated the fact that she has green eyes like mine. I hate sharing!!!
“I am talking to you! Why are you so dumb? I hate repeating myself.” I fumed, rolling my eyes in disgust.
“I am sorry, Miss Loretta.” The girl apologised immediately, her eyes bent to the ground. She was fidgeting in my sight and I loved it.
“Sorry? You ruined my life. I was talking to my fans and you appeared. Who are you? What is your name?” I asked, tugging at her head with my phone. She hesitated, apologising in between.
“I won't repeat myself anymore. Answer me!” I screamed. This girl is getting on my nerves.
“My… My name is Camille.” She mumbled nervously.
“Camille? What a disgusting name for a lowly person.” I commented with a scoff. I glanced at her from head to toe wondering why such a human existed.
She is a typical church rat.
I wanted to pounce on her when I heard his voice. Urgh!
He is coming with his pep talks again.
“Babe. What is going on?” Adrian asked when he stepped out from the elevator.
“This brat tried to spoil my live video. Why will she step into my live video? Is she trying to sabotage me?” I flared up, almost hitting her with my phone when Adrian stopped me by holding my hand.
Shit! She is lucky.
“Wait. Babe. I got this. You can't spoil your night. Remember this is about you and you alone. This isn't worth the stress. Let's go to our suite. I have another surprise there waiting for you.” He told me with a smile. A smile that seems to melt my anger away. He always has a way to calm me down.
“Really?” I responded, looking so curious.
“Yeah and this one will blow your mind away.” He hinted with a grin that tells me that he was up to no good and I like it.
“Okay. Let's go. You better stay away from me.” I warned her, glaring at her before I dragged my bag out of her grip and rolled my eyes in disgust. I walked away excitedly to see the other surprise.
“Yes, my bride to be!!” Adrian exclaimed in excitement as he tagged along.
Camille's pov
My day was already going bad and now, an impromptu change of order in less than two hours. I have been running up and down , trying to get things in order.
We only got the order. No complaints or restrictions. There was no time to make a noise. The guests were important and that is all.
My wobbly legs couldn't even hold my slender body as I worked. Maybe it is because I got dumped today by my boyfriend, now ex- boyfriend. I didn't even get the chance to cry.
I was in the girl's room when the urgent announcement hit the speaker. There was no time to get emotional. We had to move and start with her task.
The supposed guest was now my nightmare. This woman is totally annoying and insulting. From the moment she walked in, I felt it strongly. I knew things were going to sour for us but I never knew I was going to be the first victim.
