Valeria victory

The Celebration in Royales Hall

The grand ballroom of Royales Hall shimmered under the glow of crystal chandeliers, the air thick with the scent of expensive perfumes and the murmurs of high society. Tonight was a celebration—Ariana Royales, the formidable matriarch of the family, was formally introducing her adopted daughter, Valeria Royales, to the elite inner circle.

Valeria stood poised at the top of the grand staircase, her emerald gown cascading like liquid silk, her dark eyes scanning the room with quiet calculation. She knew what they were saying—the whispers slithered through the crowd like venomous snakes.

She's just an orphan Ariana picked up out of pity.

I heard she's cunning, manipulates everyone around her.

Why would Ariana choose her over her own blood?

Valeria's lips curled into a faint smile. Let them talk. Soon, they would see exactly why Ariana had chosen her.

Sophia and Ethan's Scheme

Near the champagne tower, Sophia Royales—Ariana's granddaughter—leaned into her husband Ethan's ear, her voice dripping with malice. It's time.

Ethan smirked, slipping a thumb drive to a discreet technician. Moments later, the massive screen behind the orchestra flickered—then displayed a scandalous image of Valeria in a dimly lit club, pressed against a faceless man.

Gasps rippled through the crowd. Ariana's sharp eyes flicked to the screen, then to Valeria.

Sophia stepped forward, feigning concern. Grandmother, I had no idea Valeria was involved in such… indiscretions.

Ariana's expression darkened—but before she could speak, Valeria let out a soft, mocking laugh.

Oh, Sophia,she sighed, shaking her head. Did you really think a blurred photo would be enough?She turned to Ariana, her voice steady. Mother, I was there undercover—gathering information on the man who's been embezzling from our company.She pulled out a file from her clutch. Ethan's associate, in fact.

Ariana's gaze snapped to Ethan, who paled. You dare scheme against my daughter in my own home?she hissed.

Sophia's face twisted in fury, but Ariana had already turned away in disgust. Pathetic, she spat before walking off, leaving Sophia and Ethan humiliated they loose face in the party and sat quietly with out saying anything.

Julian's Brutal Failure

Julian, Ariana's only biological daughter, watched from the shadows, her nails digging into her palms. She had planned something far worse—an "accident" for Valeria. She had instructed Olivia, her own daughter, to tamper with Valeria's car.

But Valeria had anticipated it.

She had let Olivia take the keys, whispering, Your mother would be so proud if you did this yourself.

The crash was heard from blocks away.

When news reached Julian that Olivia was in the hospital—alive, but broken—she screamed, collapsing to her knees. Valeria watched from afar, sipping her wine. A shame, she murmured, though her eyes were cold.

Leon was amazed and disgusted at Valeria at what she was capable of doing.

Leon and Claire's Affair

Across the room, Leon—Ariana's best grand son and the man Valeria secretly desired—was tangled in a heated embrace with Claire, his girlfriend . Their lips locked near the balcony, oblivious to Valeria's burning stare.

John, her ever-loyal secretary, leaned in. You're jealous.

Valeria's grip tightened on her glass. Don't be absurd.

But the lie tasted bitter.

But even if he did like her she couldn't still accept a guys love because that was her biggest fear, being hurt.

The Gossip That Fueled the Night

As the night wore on, the whispers grew louder:

Did you hear? Olivia's accident wasn't an accident.

Valeria is ruthless—she'll destroy anyone in her way. The Royales has gotten the devil in their house hold, they are all playing with fire.

Valeria never loses what she wants.

And beneath the glittering lights, Valeria Royales smiled.

Because the game had only just begun. She had destroy everyone in her way .
