A Wrong Path To Love (Mafia Boss Escapade Series #1)

Chapter 31

I sighed before going out as Clinton open the car. Wearing one of the best gowns proudly designed by Mak Tumang, a Filipino designer who also made & designed Catriona Gray's preliminary gown in Miss Universe which is inspired by the national bird and the fiery red gown she wore as she conquered the crown. Do you know that there's another gown except of the two that have been mentioned?  It is supposedly Catriona's gown during the coronation night or to one of the activies of the pageant. However, she have chosen the Mayon Volcano-inspired gown as she remembered when she's still a little girl, her mother once told her that she will win one day in a beauty pageant wearing a red gown.

I've been fond of watching beauty pageants since then. I think that's one of every girls hobbies. Catriona Gray as Ms. Universe 2018 proves that we, Filipinos are indeed talented and so much deserving to be on spotlight 'cause we've got something to offer that could make the world in awed.

Kinuha ko ang kamay ni Clinton at hinarap ang bawat sulok na flash ng camera.

I'm already expecting this as he reminded me awhile ago.

Tho nakakailang sa daming photographers na kumukuha sa amin ng litrato. Ngumiti lang ako at its finest.

I'm now proudly wearing the Pearl Oriente, the gown really embraces that the Philippines is truly a gem. Catriona may not represented this to the miss universe stage, but as a Filipino, I will be the one showcasing this masterpiece right now at the Worldwide Mafia Gathering wherein every country from different continents and powerful slash dangerous persons are all cordially invited.

It's really an honor that Mr.Tumang gave me a permission to wear this tonight. This gown resembles the Pearl of the Orient Seas, it is beautiful, stunning, and captivating. It screams elegance and indeed one of a kind gown that a Filipino designer have ever designed.

We genuinely walked at the red carpet.

Do you think I'm the only one who is getting the crowd's attention? No, I'm not.

My husband looks like a newly-crowned King with his tuxedo that Mark also designed.

His aura right now screams wealth, power, and greatest honor.

All of the guests are in their unique and marvelous gowns and tuxedos.

Sa tingin ko, hindi pa naman siguro kami nakikilala ng mga tao.

Paano nila agad malalaman? We are all wearing masks.

Kahit naman ako. Walang namumukhaan sa kanila.

Nagkagulo lang sila nang mayroong dumating. Maybe, another respected guests.

Kaya naman nawala ang atensyon nila sa amin.

“Where are we going?” bulong ko sa kaniya nang lumiko kami at hindi dumiretsong umupo sa mga seats doon.

“Oh! You're not a low-class mafia .We don't deserve those spots. The spotlight must be on us, we're the most powerful.” natatawang bulong niya naman.

Napanganga nalang ako.

Muntik ko ng makalimutan iyon.

Dumiretso kami sa backstage.

Nagpaalam ako kay Clinton na lilibutin ko lang ang venue. At first, tumutol siya at gusto pa sana akong samahan, but I refused.

“I can handle myself. Trust me.” bulong ko sa kaniya bago ako humalik sa labi niya at nakihalubilo sa ibang mga guests.

Hindi naman ako nakikipag-usap. Pinagmasdan ko lang ang naging kilos at galaw nila.

Napangiti ako while I noticed something.
