Love and Deceit

Two hours later, the Couture Exhibit rounded off. Pia Amato, hand-in-hand with her husband, also a vibrant Oldie, Mr Giovanni Amato, reached out to their top guests to thank them for making it to the event. Oops! Guess it's our turn, they are walking towards me and my Villainess of a wife. Hahaha. Wait, it's not supposed to be funny but what the hell, hahaha.


"Who do we have here?" Mrs Amato spoke as she reached out to kiss us on both cheeks in an embrace. Me first, then my 'wife'.


Belinda spoke to her first while I shook hands with her husband, "That was a beautiful collection you showcased tonight. You never stop proving your name's worth."


The oldie laughed heartily, uhm I am referring to Mrs Amato this time. Hahaha.


She stopped laughing, "It's talent, child. Raw talent. I can't help being 'The Best' even if I decide not to. Hahaha, something about the way I am wired."
