Samantha held a press conference, she claimed to be ready to apologize if that's what Camilla wanted to forgive. She was enjoying playing the victim.
Chris agreed to hold it at the company since they were business partners and were ready to listen to Samantha.
Chris was already seated with the press when she arrived.
Dressed in black, with her hair held back. Her assistant helped her walk to the front. Chris smirked and avoided her face since it was identical to Camilla's.
Everyone who had not seen her yet was amazed at how identical she looked to the famous Chef Camilla Smith.
She greeted them and then started her speech. All her words made it look like Camilla had hurt her because she was afraid she would steal her spotlight.
"Am sorry to all her fans who got hurt by this incident cause of my stupid idol crush .and to you Chris, am sorry for my unprofessional behavior" she turned to him with teary eyes.
Chris stared into those eyes, they looked so familiar but held something dark and cold that it made him sick. He got up and walked to where she was.
A smirk appeared on Samantha's face but disappeared almost immediately.
"So Mr. Huntsman tells us, is it true that what she said "
"Is Camilla a vile person that she could hurt her fan just because she's close to you?"
"So she is in hiding because her true face has been exposed?"
Questions kept popping one by one from the press who were eager to make fake news.
Chris turned to them and smiled a little, "This matter has been going on for a week now and I guess its time we put an end to it "
He moved to the door and opened it a wheelchair was pushed in.
The room fell silent as Chris pushed the pale-looking figure in the wheelchair inside to the front. The room now held two identical women but in different conditions.
The Camilla that Chris had just pushed in was pale, with bandages around her wrists and legs. Her lips had bruises and one eye had swollen to purple. She was a mess and it scared everyone who saw her.
"This is what my girlfriend turned to after being tortured by this woman " Chris pointed to Samantha who seemed as shocked as everyone to see Camilla in that state.
Sounds of cameras taking pictures were heard throughout the whole too. as everyone wanted a look at the hurt Camilla.
"This claimed " Victim" was so obsessed with me that she decided to turn herself into the woman I love, Camilla. After which she kidnapped the real one, then replaced her thinking I was going to fall for it".
Samantha shook her head in denial but then something played, it was a recording of her laughing at the unconscious Camilla after she fell from the stairs.
Camilla told Chris that she had been listening to everything that had happened in the hotel room when Samantha was pretending to be her. She had tapped the whole room to torture Camilla with it.
"She thought I would suffer more and give up if I saw you being happy with her "
"So you heard everything we did and said?" Chris asked
She nodded.
He frowned, "Everything?" he asked again He was worried now, he had not done anything intimate with Samantha that much, but when he tortured her he wasn't himself "
And she nodded again with a smile.
"But why are you smiling isn't it supposed to be something bad?"
"Cause seeing that worrying look on your face is funny. I know nothing special happened between you guys so don't be like that "
He was still silent watching her face but could not read anything from it.
"So let's edit that and use it against her " Camilla told him.
Chris told the hotel to check and send him all the records that were found. The men who had kidnapped Camilla had been nearly killed on their way to the station. It was like someone was cleaning up their mess, but Ray had acted fast and made sure they were safe.
"We have enough evidence to crash her but I just want to do it publicly so she can not mess with me again," said Camilla.
"But Bestie she still has your face, what will we do about that cause with that she can still pose a threat" Ray had frowned
"Well she wanted to look like me then let her but it will turn into a punishment for her "
Samantha felt her body shrink as Chris showcased more evidence, she heard been occupied with how to make herself a victim and kill the men she used she forgot about the recordings. She felt her vision blur as she turned back to Chris and Camilla who were looking at her at the all-time.
A lady walked in who looked like the old Samantha, she told the press how her boss, Samantha had promised her a large sum of money if she changed her face to hers and get on a plane.
She was the woman who was seen at the airport before Camilla and Ray arrived. She had booked another hotel to make it seem that Samantha didn't know where Camilla was studying.
While the real Samantha is already at Camilla's hotel waiting for them.
Samantha could feel the cold glares directed at her by the people around her. The more Chris brought more evidence against her the more she felt so small.
"So tell me, does such a woman deserve to be given our support and apology when she bought it up herself in the first place," Chris asked.
"I can forgive her," a weak voice said. All eyes turned to the figure in the wheelchair. She had been silent the whole time but now said something.
Chris turned to Camilla with a frown, "But Love, she made you suffer this much and you still want to forgive her?"
Camilla nodded, "She did all that for love and I understand her. Our ways of expressing love might be different but it's love after all, and I can forgive her" tears formed in her eyes as she moved her gaze from Chris to Samantha who had collapsed to the floor.
"That week I was locked up, I suffered so much I wished I could die. Her men tortured me every day without giving me anything like water to me. When Chris my boyfriend rescued me I was on the verge of death " Camilla was crying so much it made everyone frown in sadness.
Chris knelt and used his hands to dry her tears. "Am sorry you had to suffer that much " he said loud enough for everyone to hear.
"B...but I told them to just torture you a little and feed you enough to keep you alive " Samantha who couldn't take any more of what was going on shouted.
Her assistant tried to stop her but it was Camilla's acting that had outweighed hers. And now she had blurted out the truth in front of everyone. She got up escaping her assistant's grip and continued to shout.
"Since high school I have been on your tail, trying my best to get rid of you and it had worked the first time but he still had to keep loving you. I was in the shadows hurting and sabotaging a lot of your efforts but NO it still didn't work " Samantha was laughing with tears in her eyes.
Camilla sniffed and held on to Chris, "I still forgive you for all of that " she said with her eyes low not daring to look at her.
It was she was scared of Samantha now. That action made the people around to even look at Samantha with disgust.
Samantha stopped and turned back to Camilla and Chris who seemed to be shielding his love from her.
"It made me angrier that even with this face I still could not get him. He saw right through my plans and destroyed everything I had prepared for years. And now that I want to take him down with me you still in my way " she cried and moved to where Chris was holding Camilla.
Before he could react the bitch had grabbed Camilla's hair pulling it with all her strength.
She cried in pain while Samantha was laughing like a maniac.
Chris grabbed her and slapped her twice across, sending Samantha down on the floor.
"Don't you ever touch her again " he shouted looking down at her. His bodyguards held Samantha down whose lips were now bleeding.
"I guess this press conference is done now, now if all of you could excuse me I need to take my woman away before this lunatic hurt her again " Chris turned away and bent down to the wheelchair where the crying Camilla was. He took off his coat draped it on Camilla's body then carried her away.
Samantha was still laughing and crying as pictures of her were taken. She had lost everything in minutes cause she messed with the wrong person.
