Chapter 2 - The Cruel Socialite
For six months, Camille Vance had acted as the undisputed queen of the Moretti estate. As the heiress to Vance Pharmaceuticals and the official fiancée of Gabriel Moretti, she treated the domestic staff with unbearable cruelty.
She demanded absolute obedience, firing housekeepers for tiny specks of dust and humiliating servers over minor mistakes.
Her primary target, however, had always been twenty-four-year-old Elena Brooks.
Elena was quiet, hyper-efficient, and never complained, no matter how harsh the workload became. But Camille detested Elena for a far darker reason: Gabriel treated Elena with a quiet, unusual respect that he showed to almost no one else in his inner circle.
Whenever Elena entered the room to deliver financial morning reports or serve tea, Gabriel listened intently to her observations.
Camille’s jealousy morphed into paranoia. She believed Elena was trying to seduce her wealthy fiancé.
What Camille did not know was that Elena was not just a maid hired off the street.
Six months ago, Gabriel had personally brought Elena into the mansion under total secrecy following the tragic death of her father, a senior chemist at Vance Pharmaceuticals.
