Love and Deceit

<p>Alighting from the cab, Belinda took majestic steps in the direction of the entrance to the hotel. Her poise and charisma was unmistakably one of nobility but some persons who saw her make an entrance into the hotel did not understand how she could be all covered up like someone who had something to hide and at the same time take such eloquent footsteps. She was however, oblivious of the fact that she had forgotten to take off her shades and the scarf she had used to cover her hair and had further wrapped about her neck. So, she strutted on in all majesty until she met someone who knew her well enough not to mistake her identity.</p>

<p>Belinda had exited the reception area at the ground floor and was headed for one of the elevators when a familiar voice, which belonged to an older woman no doubt, caused her to make a U-turn.</p>
