Carlos's POV
"I understand that completely, and I wouldn't want it any different," I said, though something felt strange about her statement. A frown crossed my face as unease settled in. "But why repeat something so obvious? Do you think I'd betray your boss? You're aware we're together and she's carrying my child, aren't you?"
"I'm not certain, Sir. Something about you doesn't sit right with me," Vita responded. "I pray my instincts are mistaken, but should you ever turn against Mrs. Preston, know that I'll be your greatest adversary."
The intensity blazing in Vita's eyes caught me off guard. Despite her small frame, that fierce look told me she'd go to any lengths to shield Grace.
It left me curious about what drove Vita's unwavering loyalty to Grace.
"What makes you so protective of her? Has she done something special for you?"
Vita paused, collecting her thoughts before answering, "Mrs. Preston may not realize it, but she gave me a chance when I was at rock bottom, Sir."
