Masquerade
She was masquerading as a beauty queen; of course she was a ravishing
beauty.
He too was masquerading as a multimillionaire playboy and
there was no doubt that he was a playboy.
She believed she was clever enough to seduce this rich but
foolish playboy. He too believed that he was smart enough to win a beauty queen.
He thought he would not have to kill her; ‘no more killings,’
he said to himself.
She thought that now she could turn a new leaf and settle
with this silly person.
He was caught when he was dreaming of proposing to her,
unaware that she had already been arrested the previous night.
