Love and Deceit

<p>Her prideful recollection of her past glory, turned sour when her memory flashed to when she met her beau, Gustavo Rodríguez in Milan. Theirs was a chance meet, but he succeeded in breaking her walls with time, and teaching her that love and peace of mind, tasted much better than war and chaos. "Stupid fool! How on earth did I let myself go soft because of you? I should have known better. You just needed a fancy toy to play with, a smart devotee by your side to help run your empire. A fool I was." Letting out a sigh, she dived into her glass of liquor. She turned to look around her, and let her eyes explore the home of her matrimony. </p>
