Chapter 116 Was it you, Camilla?
VICTORIA'S POV...
Alessandro!
At first, it felt like a dream. It felt like, I am hallucinating him. Is he really here? Or it's just my mind who
wants to imagine him only?
But soon, my thoughts broke and I realised he is real when I heard Camilla's gasps too. She shouted
toward her men to attack him and they did.
Alessandro started fighting with them and meanwhile, all of it felt like a movie to me. A live movie, that I
am watching being tied up.
He pushed the two men away from him and tried to come to me when some other men also attacked
him. I blinked, wait, where did they come from!?
Camilla only brought two men along, how come there are more men? Were they outside of this
dungeon? I could only think of those things and stared at Aless fighting with those men. For me.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. My heart skipped. No! Please, God! Save my baby! I kept
praying in my mind. Then, I felt another shape pain that coursed through my whole body.
This time the pain was not in my abdomen but from the back of my head. It was Camilla, who pulled my
hair. I wanted to shout, but nothing came out of my throat as she hold a sharp knife there.
"Stop it, Alessandro! Or I will kill your beloved wife!" Camilla shouted, holding the sharp knife to my
throat. I couldn't even gulp in fear as I watched my husband with immense fear and pain.
Alessandro's concentration broke as he turned to look at me and was punched by a man. He trembled
and I flinched. "Aless!" Without caring about the knife, I shouted this time.
However, he has professional combat skills and immediately balanced himself, before he kicked the
man and he was thrown far away, lying flat on the floor.
Aless turned to us. He was angry and scared at the same time. He raised his hand. "Stop it, Camilla.
Let her go."
Camilla laughed. Her laughter echoed in the dungeon. "Let her go? For what? So, she can spend her
life with you, huh?"
"Never! I will never let this happen!" She pushed the knife into my throat more. "Stay away, Aless. If
you don't want to see your wife being incensed in the middle of her throat, then stay away!" She
throated him.
Aless raised his hands in a surrender position and took a step back. "No! No, don't hurt her! I am not
doing anything! Please, don't hurt her!"
"Heh, you sound so good while pleading. But the fact, you are pleading for this woman, I don't like it!"
Holding the knife on my throat, she started removing the chains from my hands and after she was
done, she made me stand up by my neck.
"Agh!" I couldn't help but wince in pain when she pulled my hair.
"Camilla, Stop!" Aless sounded terrified and Camilla laughed.
"It hurts, doesn't it, Alessandro Devonte? It hurts me too! When you all want this woman, that hurts like
hell!" She held the knife firmly in my throat.
"Do you think, you can live after hurting her?" Aless asked, he is furious.
Camilla laughed again. "Never, Aless. But, I won't let her live either! If I can not get you, then you also
can't get her! If I am suffering, then I want to see you suffer! If I am dead, then she will die with me too!"
Her words came out like a pure psycho. And she is that! She needs help!
And soon, in the same position, she started dragging away me with her.
"Camilla stop! Don't be a fool! You have made mistakes before and we let it go! But, not anymore!
Don't you dare make another mistake!" Alessandro shouted at her.
Camilla stopped and turned to Alessandro, "Aless, I have loved you since I was seven years old. Our
family was friends and I was there with you always been more than friends."
"I have saved your life. I have sacrificed my career for you, how can you abandon me for this bitch!?"
She shouted. Her emotions were coming out and I watched Aless started coming forward slowly.
A light of hope appear in my mind, as I heard her continue, "You agreed to marry me three years ago,
didn’t you? If it wasn't for Victoria, we would have gotten married! I would be the one carrying your
baby, not this fucking bitch!" She pulled my hair in anger and that caused me to wince again.
"CAMILLA!" Aless shouted, gaining her attention to him and she stopped pulling my hair. "It wasn't her
fault that three years ago she went to my room. You did it and you made a mistake, didn't you?"
"So?!" Camilla scoffed. "I wanted you badly when you started getting along with this woman! I was sad
and so I did that!" She shouted, trying to defend her actions.
"And what about that accident? If it wasn't for me, would you be alive now?" She screamed, almost
ruining my ear.
Aless paused. From this distance, I could feel that he turned cold. Soon, he started walking toward us,
"Was it really you who saved me back then, Camilla?" He asked and I blinked. What is he trying to do?
"What did you say?!" Camilla asked in disbelief, as I felt her go stiff behind me. Her body is touching
mine and I could feel the tension in her.
Aless suddenly lifted his shirt sleeve, revealing the vintage watch on his wrist, and asked, "I just want to
ask you, do you recognize this watch?"
Wait... this vintage watch? Isn't it the one I gave to him and asked him to return to the owner? Then
why is he wearing it? I stared at him blankly and it felt like two different stories are going on here!
Camilla on the other hand, shook her head "No, why?"
Aless smirked. Wait! He smirked!?
"The person who found this watch is the one who saved me back then. And for your career?" He
sneered again. "You ruined your career on your own, disturbing a piano master! He was furious and
ruined your career. Why did you lie to me?"
Save him? Lie? All the things started getting messy in my mind. And slowly, the image of that night
came to my mind. Years ago, I saved a guy and found this watch. Aless also had an accident at that
time and is now, wearing this watch.
That means... Oh! Suddenly the realisation hit me to the hilt as I stared at him, my mind turned blank all
of a sudden, as I finally realised, Camilla is crying,
"Yes! Yes, I did lie to you! Now what!? If I hadn't lied to you back then, you wouldn't have cared about
me at all!" She screamed again.
Aless kept Coming forward. His movements are slow, yet, he is doing it, "If you let Victoria go now, I Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
can forgive everything you did before. I will let you go, Camilla. Just let her go."
"N... No!" Camilla's tone shook, his words are working. "I won't let her go." Her tone sounded a little
weak from before.
"Trust me, Camilla. If you let her go, You will be free. I won't get you. Just leave her, okay?" His tone
turned softer, but I could see the rage in his eyes.
All the while, my heart is beating faster than ever! Because of the situation and the truth just gets
revealed!
Camilla's hand started shaking with the knife as if she was hesitating, and that made me fearful more.
"Alessandro, I really, really love you." She said. Her tone was shaky and softer than before. "But..." She
paused as her hand hold the knife firmly again. "But, I can't let her go. Alessandro, I don't trust you. I
know, you will hurt me the moment I will let her go. And I can't do that!"
Aless paused and raised his hands in a surrender position. "No! No, I won't! I promise you, Camilla.
Just let her go and I will help you to escape this place. I will reward you, for not hurting Victoria."
"Yo... You will reward me?" She asked, surprised.
Aless nodded his head, "Yeah, I will."
"Then, will you spend a night with me as a reward, Aless?" Her tone was soft, but that made me
nauseous! If this is the reward, I would prefer to die first!
Aless paused again. He also didn't relapse she would ask something like that. He only stared at her.
When Suddenly, Camilla laughed.
"Oh, Aless, I know, I know you won't! You will never agree to sleep with me! I know you will never let
me go! All of you are the same! All men!"
"Look Camilla, what you asked is not possible, but I will let you go, I promise." He said again. "Please,
just let her go. If you don't let her go, You will die."
Camilla sneered audibly. "What? Do you think if I let her go, he will?" She laughed again. "No, Aless.
This is not the end and... I am sorry..." She said, suddenly took a pause.
And before I know it, she twisted my hand, turning me to her and raised her hand to stab me! At the
moment, lots of things happened in a second.
Aless jumped forward and pushed her aside and a loud 'boom' echoed the whole room. Camilla
suddenly shook, fell on the ground being a bloodied mess and just at that moment, darkness covered
my eyes...
