**********************************************************************************************

After a while, We arrived at the place. The moment I got out of the car, I was starstruck by the grandiose hotel named 'Beatrix'. Aly enlightened us by telling us the majestic hotel was owned by the Billionaire playboy Renerio Borroni. She also revealed that earlier this hotel was owned by Denver but due to some unknown reasons he had sold off the hotel to Renerio. The grand hotel was a gift yet a huge responsibility given by Denver's strict father.

I was dazed by the revelations. How could a competitive person like Denver lose this giant property? I only worked with Denver for two months but during that time he did seem to me gravely sincere in terms of work.

He's a dyed-in-the-wool businessman whose work ethic is grueling at times. With a demeanor of little to no tolerance level, he has no room for incompetency and fault. A little mistake and you'll be thrown out of the company. He is this ruthless. However, I have seen him fighting tooth and nail to get his company on the top. Sometimes he used to work late at night. Besides the fashion firm he also owns many other businesses. I know it because I used to share some of his workloads as he always liked my work.

We marched towards the entrance of the hotel. Upon entering the hotel I felt like I was in a massive palace. First, we were greeted by the prepossessing huge fountain all bathed in the hues of ivory dispersing the water which was far clearer than the intention of many people nowadays. There was a statue made of marble and stone which looked like a water bearer at the center from whose pot water was flowing in a low sound so that people could enjoy conversations without being overpowered by the fountain.

I was glancing at the winsome fountain while Alessia went to reception to enquire about something whereas Bella was on call. They didn't show any sign of astonishment seeing the mesmerizing beauty. Maybe it was not their first time entering a grand hotel like this.

"Hold on, is this a statue of the Aquarius sign?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Oh! Yes. This was made by Denver's late mother as he is an Aquarian. It is very dear to Denver also. He even asked Renerio to change the interior or renovate any part of this grand place except this fountain." Alessia replied while making a call to someone.

Aquarians are one of the most difficult people to live with. Denver proved it to be true.

Suddenly, I heard something, "Is she here? Alright." It was Alessia.

"Girls, our prey is here. Silvia just arrived here. Hurry! We must hide before she sees us. She will be heading to room no. 1080. We must reach there first to ensure everything goes according to plan," suggested Alessia and we all rushed to reach there.

1080 was the personal luxury suite that was used by Renerio for business deals or having fun. At the same time, I was quite intrigued by seeing Alessia's contacts. Earlier at the fashion show night, she had someone to take care of the electricity failure. That's awesome.

We were waiting for Silvia to show up and one of Alessia's jack would take care of everything. All we wanted was just to tape Silvia's and Renerio's conversation. Soon Silvia arrived there. Alessia gestured to the waiter to go ahead.

Our eyes were glued to the place where a crime scene was yet to happen. Our breath became shallow the moment they both came close. The boy going with a tray in his hands suddenly bumped into Silvia.

Silvia rolled her eyes in exasperation and yelled at him, "You idiot! Are you blind?" Her voice was trembling with outrage.

"Pardon me, ma'am. It was my mistake. I've never seen such a beautiful lady in all my life till now. I was blinded by your beauty and while falling for your beauty, I stumbled to the floor colliding with you." The waiter replied by picking up the stuff that fell from her bag.

After catching praise for her beauty Silvia became a bit decorous yet boastful of her beauty. "You all men are the same, jerks. It is such a sin to be beautiful. Next time, be careful. Silvia replied with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms.

"Beautiful face with a beautiful heart. You are so kind ma'am. Here, take your bag." The boy handed over her bag with a faultless smile.

Silvia took her bag and headed towards room no.1080 and rang the doorbell. Renerio opened the door, Silvia got in and the door closed again. The boy came to us and said, "Done!" to which Alessia rewarded him and praised him by saying, "You did a wonderful job. You smartly handled the situation. Will call you when needed." The boy took his reward and left. He was hired by Alessia to cautiously slip the spy voice recorder pen into her bag.

"I'm certain that those double-dealers will spill some beans from that night and we'll trap them. But the problem is we need to get that recorder out from her bag when she comes out." Alessia started while biting her nails in trepidation.

"Don't worry! Leave it to me. I think I can do it, Yes." Bella said confidently, withdrawing all our jim-jams.

"I'm dubious about relying on a cheap voice recorder pen when we could have opted for something more infallible and legit for a grave circumstance like this." Bella raised her to demur on Aly's idea.

"Umm, maybe it won't work, maybe it will fail terribly but for the time being, I only had this idea. But don't you worry dear, I'm already looking up to you to bring your inner Sherlock Holmes director to reality and make an unerring plan. I'm sure you'll be more reliable than my outdated idea." Alessia reverted Bella with her sweet taunting.

Bella raised her eyebrows and said," Oh! I won't disappoint you, dear Aly."

They both took their place and sat opposite each other. Both were looking agitated after colliding with each other. Well, that looked childish and I somehow restrained my laughter after watching their small catfight.

A few hours passed and we all were waiting for her to come out of the room. It was already three hours but it felt like an eternity for us. Alessia was half asleep on the giant sofa. On the other hand, Bella was chilled out like always while it became unbearable for me to wait for any more. I rubbed my forehead fidgety and turned around only to see a delighted Silvia coming.

I rushed and informed Bella while waking Alessia. She woke up the moment I uttered Silvia's name and we both fastened our pace to hide. Bella took the exit door so that she could stop Silvia. The drama she was about to create was as enigmatic as a magician fumbling to get something from his hat. What creature or stuff the magician would pull out is always suspenseful. Similarly, we were waiting for Bella to know what character she would pull out from her collection.

With every step, Silvia progressing toward Bella was giving us jitter. Alessia started biting her nails out of nervousness. Bella was standing right at the door with her arms folded and an expression enough to make someone tremble with fear.

Silvia was about to cross the door but she couldn't. She was held by Bella.

Now, the drama begins.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you grab my hand?". A struggling Silvia uttered while trying to free her hand. "Fine, I'll call the guards to throw you out." Silvia was looking here and there for guards with an agitated yet discounted face.

"Fine. Call the guards and I'll call the cops." Bella stated while giving her a chilling look.

"Cops? Why? What have I done?", asked Silvia, this time with a little tinge of fear. It was obvious from her expression that she must have something to hide.

People who wronged someone intentionally are digging their graves. One day, they will be the ones to infest the thorn they had laid down for others.

"What have you done? Really? Do you think sleeping with a married man is normal?" asked Bella. She was looking like a married woman out for revenge.

"Hold on. I think you misunderstood me. I was here for a meeting. So, get lost, you ginger hair cat." Silvia hissed bitterly by pushing Bella and left.

Watching Silvia leaving, I and Alessia both were set to sing the blues over the falling of our masterplan smashed to smithereens. With low spirit and cold feet, we both were on our way to join Bella to mourn the insolvency of our collapsed game plan, and then...something happened. Something unimaginable yet eerie.

Bella ran and fiercely grabbed the long straight tresses of Silvia making her turn around in a state of shock.

"You B*tch! Do you think you can easily go after getting caught? You have to pay for your sin. I know my husband very well, he is an idiot, an a**hole, and a nasty person but he would stoop this low is something unbelievable. However, I will make sure to punish him for spending my hard-earned money on a piece of shit like you. Even today he must have given you something precious. Let me check your bag." Bella said heatedly while relieving her hair from her grip.

"Are you insane? I'm not the person you are looking for. Picking out someone by making wild guesses won't help you, you fool. And by the way, I'm not someone who has low standards when it comes to choosing men. A top model like me would never date someone as poor as a church mouse. Get off my back! Otherwise, I'll make you pay for your audacity." Silvia spat back.

Bella smirked and said, "Every thief says that. Just hand over your bag if you want to prove me wrong." Bella struggled to get her bag which Silvia gave her to put an end to all the drama.

Bella quickly went through her bag keenly and in the quest, she dropped the bottle of perfume on the floor making Silvia grouchy. She scolded her while picking up the bottle.

"I think you were right. I made a mistake. Please accept my sincere apology." Bella smiled sheepishly to which Silvia uttered some cuss words and left swaying her back.

I and Alessia both came out from hiding to ask Bella whether she got the pen camera or not. But before we could ask something she opened up saying, "I'm sorry," by making a puppy face.

"Shit! It's all wasted. I'm not sure if we'll ever get this opportunity again." Alessia said, dejected.

"Don't jump to the conclusion. Hear me out first. I said I'm sorry...for Silvia. Tomorrow morning is going to be the death of her as I've got the weapon to destroy this serpent." Bella said delightedly, making us relieved.

"I never knew you had this talent. You could be an actress. The way you screwed her up by channelling a betrayed girlfriend out for revenge is something applaudable." I complimented her between my laughter recalling her acting skills.

"Good Job!," exclaimed Alessia to which Bella simply passed a smile.

We got back to the car and sat silently while Alessia played the recorded audio. The first ten minutes were just...sounds.

"Yikes! Even her moans can get someone's dander up. Exasperating," exclaimed Alessia in agitation making a repugnant countenance.

After listening to the dissonant cawing of Silvia for a few minutes, we could finally hear voices. But it was not a voice, it was the sound of a slap.
