Villain: The Play of Destiny

The Centurion Hotel was a famous five-star Hotel in the city of Sameran, and one of its best selling points was its great food. The restaurant of the Hotel was almost always full during working time, and people had to make reservations days before their dates.

A valet immediately stepped forward when a BMW M999i arrived at the front of the Hotel. There were only 7 of these cars in Sameran City, and the staff of nearly all the five-star Hotels recognised their numbers.

“Welcome to The Centurion, Heir Demiliore!” The valet bowed after he opened the door for Keith.

“Good Evening!” He smiled at the young man and handed him the key before walking inside the Hotel.

The staff had already been informed about his arrival, and before he could approach the reception to take the pass for the Restaurant, a lady in a black uniform approached him and bowed.

“Welcome to the Centurion, Heir Demiliore!” She said and then politely smile, trying her best to not look too ardently at his profile. “Miss Qingyue had already informed us that you will be coming tonight. Please, allow me to lead you to the Private Gallery where she’s waiting for you.”

“Thank you!” Keith nodded to her and then followed her to the Restaurant.

The route to the private galleries was different to the one that was for the general lounge and the private booths. And it was primarily because those who could afford to sit in the private galleries were ridiculously rich people who would be the centre of attention of everyone if they sat inside the general lounge. Therefore, only people from the Major Families, other well-known families, Celebrities, and top Government Officials were allowed to reserve these galleries.

Qingyue and her friends were inside Gallery 9, and the attendant at the door bowed to him when he saw the two of them approach before opening the door for him.

“We hope you enjoy your stay, Heir Demiliore!” The receptionist smiled and said as he entered the Gallery. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

“Keith!” A bright voice called out to him before he could take a good look at the people that were present at the table, and a gorgeous girl in a silver dress walked up to him and lovingly hugged his arm. “Thank you for coming!”

“Well, I promised you.” He smiled at the grey-eyed girl. “Sorry for being late.”

“It’s fine!” Qingyue sweetly said and then led him to the table where her friends and boyfriends of her friends were waiting on their feet.

“My apologies for keeping you all waiting.” He said before anyone could say hello to him, and everyone, who was a little nervous at his presence, suddenly felt a lot at ease.

“Qingyue informed us that you had a meeting, Young Master Demiliore.” A refined girl, who was surprisingly wearing a very sensuous dress that hugged all the right curves, smiled at him. “We are glad that you came.”

“I would rather not have my classmates addressing me as Young Master Demiliore, Miss Caitlyn.” Keith smiled back at her and watched her face light up when he took her name.

Caitlyn obviously wanted to jump on this chance, but her friends, who knew her very well, timely interjected and greeted Keith.

After greeting everyone, Keith sat down next to the host of the party, who was Qingyue. And then the grey-eyed girl called the attendant inside the room and asked him to deliver their dinner.

“I have already ordered your favourites for you.” She told lightly, keeping her voice low, but some still picked up on it.

“Let’s see if you got them right or not.” He chuckled and then engaged her friends in a chat.

Since all her friends were his classmates too, most of their conversations revolved around their academic and university life.

“Qingyue was really upset yesterday when she found out that she had missed on the first position by a single mark.” A curly-haired girl with glasses informed him.

“Is that so?” He mischievously smiled at the girl who was averting her eyes from him.

“You could have told me that you wanted the first position. I would have deliberately scored lower.”

“Awww!!!”

The girls gushed over his words and Qingyue’s face turned red in a blush.

“I will beat you next time!” She said, and her voice came out a little high-pitched, which prompted everyone to laugh in amusement.

“For that, you will have to wait three years.” He reminded her and sipped on his wine.

“Both of you are opting for Autonomous Learning. The University will be too boring without you!” Caitlyn complained, but her words were mostly directed at him.

“It is something that can’t be helped. We both have to build our businesses.” Keith casually said, and the conversation that followed after was all about Business and especially his. Since they were all students of Business, Finance, and Economics, it was an interesting subject, and everyone took part in it.

Everyone was quite respectful to him and observed the boundaries, never asking about something that should not be asked. And therefore, the rest of the evening was quite harmonious and lively.

“Well, you did get them right.” Keith complimented the grey-eyed girl after his food was delivered.

He was not surprised that Qingyue knew what he liked since she had been spending a lot of time with his little sister. Kiara knew everything about the food that he loved. And it was mostly because they shared similar tastes in food.

As always, the Centurion Kobe Steak was cooked to perfection. And Keith finished his large meal quite comfortably, which took many people by surprise and impressed them at the same time.

He was not in the least wasteful and finished everything, which prompted everyone else to do the same with the food they had plated for themselves.

After the meal, they stayed and chatted for nearly half an hour before Qingyue revealed plans for the rest of the night.

She had reserved The Centurion’s Cinema as well as the Pool and Karaoke Club.

Everyone decided that they should hit the movies first, and Keith agreed as well. However, before he left the Gallery, his eyes briefly drifted to the General Lounge under them, and he caught sight of a Kurdish Lady in her mid-twenties, wearing a formal office suit, and heading towards a private lounge with a colleague and a fat middle-aged man with a balding head.

Though he had never seen her before, Keith recognised her as she was fairly beautiful with quite a well-endowed bosom and ass to lust after. Her figure was just too tempting, and even though her face value could not match the likes of the women around him, she was still a beautiful lady.

Keith did not keep his eyes on her and left the Gallery with the girl who was hugging his arm. He had already made plans before coming here, and there was still quite some time before he would have to face that Kurdish beauty.

Unsurprisingly, the movie Qingyue had chosen was a romantic comedy, the genre she liked, and since there were several couples in their group, it was probably the best choice.

Halfway into the movie, one of their classmate started feeling a little sick. And Qingyue and another girl took her out of the hall.

“Is everything okay?” Keith asked after he saw the girls come out of the ladies’ restroom.

“She’s allergic to peanuts and she ate something at the dinner,” Qingyue informed him and Keith walked forward to take a look at her friend.

The girl blushed when he pulled her chin and took a good look at her face and eyes.

“Thankfully it’s nothing serious. You will be fine within an hour. You took your medication, right?”

“Yes.” She nodded her head. “I always keep it with me.”

“You should take a walk in the garden. It will help you breathe better.” He suggested and all the girls nodded to him.

“We were just going there,” Qingyue told him and then smiled. “You can come with us.”

“Actually, I have to leave right away. There’s something urgent that I need to attend to.” He apologetically said.

Just a few seconds ago, his wristwatch had vibrated. And it meant that the plan was already in motion.

“Is everything okay?” The grey-eyed girl worriedly asked.

“Everything is fine.” He nodded to her. “I just have to go and meet some people.”

“When will you be back?”

“In the morning.”

His answer made Qingyue frown but she did not pry into the matter.

“Okay.” She nodded to him.

“Give my apologies to your friends. And do inform them that they are all invited to my birthday party on the 13th.”

“I will!” She smiled at him and nodded. “Take care!”

“You too!” Keith nodded to her and her friends before walking towards the lift.

As soon as the door of the lift closed, he called Yingying.

“Yes?”

“The girl has been intoxicated like you mentioned. And that man and her colleague are taking her out of the hotel now.”

“Where are they right now?”

“They about to walk out of the front lobby from the Garden’s side.”

“Okay. Do as planned. And make sure that there is no evidence left.” He told her.

“Yes, Master!”

He had already delayed Qingyue enough by taking his time checking on her friend, and now, his dear Qingyue won’t meet and be able to save the girl who was meant to be the future Vice-President of her company as well as her most trusted subordinate, Ayesha. Well, not yet.

Though he did not have to do what he planned on doing tonight. But he just wanted to watch the look on Ye Tian’s face in the future when he finds his lovelorn childhood friend on Keith’s side.

Ayesha was not a Heroine, but she was a vase meant to be a supporting role for Ye Tian in this world. And she was meant to be the key that would make Qingyue trust Ye Tian in the future.

It was quite funny and sad at the same time that the girl who loved Ye Tian with all her heart, and was meant to die waiting for his return in this world, was never really going to be loved by her lover, whose only reason for giving his time to her was her body and her connection to Qingyue.

He had read in the novel that she was quite a beast in bed. And since she was only meant to be a bed-warmer for the Child of Destiny, why not become his slave instead?

A devious smile crept on his lips, but he retracted it when the door of the lift opened and he walked towards the front lobby.
