A Hated Love

Chapter 3

Christian shifted his gaze to his assistant, Robin Hood, and beckoned the latter over. “Sir?”

“Get her cleaned up and take her to Delta Club.”

Victoria’s face blanched when she heard the man’s reply, for she knew that Delta Club was a placewhere the rich and powerful people indulged themselves in debauchery.

At the thought of that, she was disappointed, believing that Christian wanted to humiliate her byshowing everyone there the contrast between her current status as a despicable criminal and herformer reputation as one of their VIP guests there two years ago.

As chills ran all over her body, she asked in a low and hateful voice, “Is this really necessary,Christian?”

Meanwhile, Christian responded with sarcastic laughter even though he didn’t expect her to questionhim. “It’s been two years since we last met, Victoria, but I can’t believe you haven’t learned your lesson.Beggars can’t be choosers. Don’t you get it?”

When she heard the man’s sarcastic remarks, Victoria looked down, biting her lips in silence. No oneelse knew what that meant better than she did. After all, she had been humbled in the penitentiary,having learned how to abandon her pride there in the past two years.

At the same time, Christian seemingly grew frustrated and tired of seeing Victoria’s patheticappearance, whereupon he made his way toward the car. “Tell Charlotte to take good care of this lady.Don’t let me down.”

Soon, the black Bentley disappeared in the snow. In the meantime, Robin hesitated for a second beforehe walked up to Victoria and helped her up. “Thank you.” Feeling touched, Victoria suddenly thought ofsomething she wanted to ask. “How is Bella?” Christian shifted his gaze to his assistant, Robin Hood, and beckoned the latter over. “Sir?”

…

Ever since Robin took Victoria to Delta Club, Christian never showed up again over the next fewweeks. It was as if their casual encounter that day was just a dream, yet she found herself literallystanding in the lobby of Delta Club.

“Welcome to Delta Club.” She eventually thumped her numb left leg when there were no more visitingcustomers, having lost count of the times she had bowed to them.

On the other hand, Victoria’s colleague, Gabrielle Clark, stood beside her with a sympathetic look onher face. “What’s wrong with Miss Charlotte? Why does everyone get to rest after their shifts exceptyou? The way I see it, she is doing this to you on purpose to make your life difficult. She is probablyjealous of your good looks.”

“It’s alright. I’m fine.” Victoria shook her head emotionlessly.

“Why? If I were in your place, I would have quitted a long time ago.” Gabrielle didn’t understand whyCharlotte wanted to pick at Victoria, whom she thought should be likable instead due to her good looksand approachable character.

Why is Miss Charlotte so mean to her? Not only does she force Victoria to continue working after hershift, she also makes her clean up the mess that those drunkards leave behind when they vomit. Whathas she done to deserve that?

Already confused, she became even more puzzled when she realized Victoria decided to endureeverything without a word of objection.novelxo.com fast update

“I won’t quit this job because I’m broke, but now that I’m working here, I don’t have to worry about goinghungry or replaceing myself a roof over my head.” Victoria stopped massaging her leg and looked up witha brittle smile. “I can’t replace any other jobs either.”

Failing to see Victoria’s situation from her perspective, Gabrielle decided it was better for her to keepquiet. In the meantime, Victoria had no choice but to swallow her pride and put up with all theadversities even though the people around her treated her with disdain and contempt.

After all, she mustn’t create more trouble for her family, having dragged them into a huge mess for whathappened two years ago.

The next minute, two limited-edition luxury cars pulled up not far away from the club. Then, three menand two ladies stepped out of the vehicles, making their way toward the club’s entrance while chattingand laughing.

Thus, Victoria quickly took her hand off her leg and stood straight with a professional smile on her face,bowing to them when they got closer. “Welcome to Delta Club…”

Needless to say, neither of those rich people bothered to even look at the hostess as they laughed andentered the elevator. Suddenly, the lady walking behind them stopped in her tracks and sized Victoriaup with a frown on her face, doubtfully calling out to her. “Victoria?” she asked.
