SWNOVELS Chapter 75 Who is the father?
VICTORIA'S POV
I fell into a complete daze just by her appearance. Recently, I have got to know about something that she did in the past in my investigation.
However, I was too occupied with my recent pleasures and Papa's health, so I didn't have time to think about her and her deeds. Moreover, I did not want to bring her into my life, so I avoided her topic until I saw her at the banquet tonight.
Her presence raised many questions, and I certainly didn't feel comfortable watching her.
I turned my gaze subconsciously and searched for my man, Alessandro. Wait... Where is he?
Wasn't he talking on the phone just a few seconds ago? Where did he leave now?
Did he see Camilla? Does he know about her presence in tonight's banquet from before? If he does, I swear, I am gonna kill him!
I watched Camilla again. Perhaps I remained unnoticed as she exchanged warm greetings and flashed a beaming smile at others, seemingly unaware of my presence. Oh, I know only how fake she is. Watching her at the party, I felt a little nauseous as the warning of something obnoxious. I stood up, and Sage might have felt something was wrong as he stepped close to me.
"Anything wrong, ma'am?" He asked, and I shook my head.
It also could be that I am thinking too much. But, I can't deny the uncomfortableness that is rising inside me.
"No, I just want to go to the washroom. You stay here, and I will be back in a minute."
"I will..." He tried to retort, but I shook my head firmly. "No, stay here. I will be back soon."
He stepped back reluctantly, and I went to the washroom.
Thankfully, the place is empty. I freshened myself and opened my purse to touch up my makeup a little.
I did light makeup, so the red lips are vibrant and take all the attention.
As I started touching up, the bathroom door opened, and I heard footsteps. Without bothering who the person was, I concentrated on myself, but I guess that wasn't my luck for the night as I heard, 'Oh, so I didn't see wrong, huh?'
Fuck! God! The same annoying tone! Why the fuck she has to be here?!
My seething anger was bubbling within, yet I had to mask it with a façade of a cheerful grin.
"Oh, Good Evening, Miss White." I gritted her.
She rolled her eyes and sneered in mockery. However, her smile vanished the moment her eyes fell on my baby bump.
It's visible, and Alessandro wanted it to be visible. In his words, 'every scumbag should know who you belong to. You are mine only.'
Her eyes widened in shock as she blinked a few times and then looked up at me. "Y... You..." Her tone is so in shock and gaspy.
I knew exactly what she was trying to say; I still pretended not to know as I raised my brow.
Camilla's eyes met mine. The shock on her face gradually turned into jealousy and anger. "You are pregnant? Who is the father?" She asked.
I chuckled in surprise and bitterness. "And you think I am excited to let you know?" I shook my head. "You are too naive, Camilla. How did you even think to question me?"
She seemed lost in a different dimension, for not a single word of mine penetrated her mind as she frowned.
Camilla stepped forward a little to me. "This is Alessandro's baby, am I right? That day in the resort, you slept with him. You got the baby from there?!"
I stared at the woman before me. Right now, she seemed like a psychopath obsessed with Aless and could do anything.
I am not scared for myself but for my baby. I wish I had brought my maid Dahe along with me. At least she wouldn't get close to me.
But that does not mean that I have to answer her question. She is trying to mess with the wrong person. Did she forget what I did to her last time?
Even if she got bail, it wasn't hard for me to again put her in jail. Back then, I just wanted to leave peacefully and forget about her matter.
However, now I think she needs to get the right punishment for her deeds. She thinks it's too easy to mess up with me. Well, if she caused any trouble today, she would regret her entire life for this. I remained silent but swiftly stashed my touch-up essentials into my handbag before turning toward the mirror. Delighted with my reflection and finding it agreeable, I turned back towards Camilla. "Well, my baby, my baby's father, and my life, none of them are your concern. So, you live your life and let me live mine if you don't want to fall in trouble in the future."
I said, flashing a smile, and then tried to walk past her as she jumped before the door like a wall, not letting me go out.
I arched my brow at her. My patience is going lower.
"Victoria, you ate such a shameless bitch! You stole Aless from me three years ago, and now you are doing the same three years later! You are even carrying his baby now!" Her eyes turned red as if she were the victim here.
"I have never seen anything shameless than you! You even dared to blame your deeds on me! You think I don't understand anything! You left Aless so you can manipulate him back into your life! Now, with this baby, are you blackmailing my Aless?"
"How could a woman be such shameless?!" She said.
It seemed her mental peace broke down the moment her eyes fell on my pregnant belly.
Lying on my face and pretending to become a victim when she knows the truth already...
