MASQUERADE PARTY

**Third Person POV**

After being meticulously styled by two staff of Feurene's elite glam team, she was finally ready to make her way to the Grand Hall of a luxurious hotel.

Snow wore a stunning black evening gown, adorned with intricate champagne-colored beadwork that shimmered under the light. Her face was partially hidden behind a delicate Venetian lace metal mask, its dark hue accentuating the mysterious allure of the event. Though her heart pounded with nerves, she took a deep breath, willing herself to stay composed. Tonight, she could not afford any missteps not with the influential guests in attendance, and certainly not with the prestigious Sylvestre family hosting this grand event.

As soon as she stepped out of the building, she was greeted by an elderly chauffeur, Mang Sed, who had been patiently waiting for her.

"Miss Snow, Sir Marcus sent me to escort you to the Sapphirean Grand Hotel," he informed her politely.

She hesitated for a brief moment, gla

    I tried to avoid his attempt to kiss me again, turning my face away, but his grip on my jaw tightened. I couldn't escape. Once more, he pressed his lips to mine, and I could feel the raw aggression in the way he kissed—rough, forceful, and full of hunger. I shut my eyes in disgust and tried to pull away, but his arms felt like steel, unbreakable. He kissed me harder as if trying to squeeze the strength out of my body. When I felt him trying to slip his tongue into my mouth, that’s when all the anger and disgust inside me boiled over. I bit down hard on his lower lip. “Shit!” he cursed, pulling back instantly, pressing his fingers to the wounded lip. I expected him to get angry, but instead of backing off, he seemed even more aroused. Rather than letting go, he became more obsessed, and more violent in the way he touched every part of my body. Still, I didn’t stop fighting. My wrists were still chained, hurting with every movement, but I didn’t care. I kept struggling. Even though

    “I’m glad I saved you that day—even if I forgot we’d met before,” Demetri said, his voice laced with something I couldn’t quite name. Slowly, he began unbuckling his belt. “Look at you now. If I hadn’t saved you, you’d probably be one of those paid women in a brothel, one of the brothels owned by your father.” I shut my eyes, trying to block out the fresh pain his words stirred. “Did you know… it was your father who chose you for me?” A wicked smile curled on his lips. “I still can’t believe it. He offered your body to me, as a reward for completing one of his missions.” With a kind of brutal urgency, he unlocked the chains around my ankles and then climbed fully onto the bed. “I knew it,” I whispered, my voice low and filled with a rising fury. “I knew he was the one behind the syndicate that kidnapped us. That’s why I hated him so much,” I added, struggling to keep my emotions in check. Demetri straightened my legs, and I let him come closer. I didn’t fight him anymore. I ha

    My entire being was afloat in pain and anger. The grief was so overwhelming that I could no longer bear it. I looked back at Demetri. “Kill me!” I screamed at my husband, crying like a mad woman. “Take me with you! Just kill me, Demetri!” I shouted again. But his eyes remained blank, staring coldly at me. “P-Please…” “I can’t live carrying this guilt! I’m the reason he’s dead!” I’d rather cease to exist than continue breathing in this hell. But instead of granting my plea, Demetri stood and looked down at me. “No.” His answer was firm. I looked up at him, tears streaming down my face, my earlier fear replaced by burning anger and hatred. “I don’t want to kill you, Snow,” he said calmly. He sat down again, locking eyes with me. In the dim light, I saw the monster behind his blue eyes. “I will let sorrow kill you... consume you... until you choose to end your own life,” he whispered. I gasped. It felt as if my world had stopped. He wouldn’t kill me. But he would let the

    I looked around again. It was eerily quiet as if the entire island had been swallowed by silence. Only the sound of my deep breathing, the rustling wind, and the distant calls of birds could be heard. I hugged myself, trying to brush away the cold wind brushing against my skin. Marcus was no longer in sight. He had completely vanished into the woods, and now, something felt wrong. I looked up at the sky. The clouds were dark and heavy, threatening to pour. It was best to head back to the rest house before the rain started. As soon as I stepped inside, the rain came crashing down on the roof. The scent of wet earth mixed with the air. Thunder rumbled, followed by the sharp crack of lightning. I tried to calm myself. It’s just for a while, I told myself, and I hoped Marcus would return soon. More than an hour passed while I waited for him. I didn’t even realize I had fallen asleep on the sofa. I jolted awake when I noticed the rain had stopped. My eyes darted to the window but Marc

    "I adore you, Snow. I love you so much," he whispered, his voice full of pleading and love. I could only sniff quietly. I couldn’t bring myself to respond to the sweet words he just said. He gently touched my cheek, and in the next moment, I felt his warm lips on mine… careful, full of emotion. It wasn’t a demanding kiss. It wasn’t asking for anything. It was a kiss that simply wanted to be felt, a kiss that spoke of love and devotion, even after all the times I’d pushed him away. But this is wrong. So, fúcking wrong. I pushed him away firmly. "No. We can’t do this, Marcus," I said, my voice quiet but firm, just before I stood up. I left him at the table, trying to calm the heaviness in my chest. I walked to the sink, splashed cold water on my face, and tried to erase the heat of his kiss from my lips, the warmth of a feeling I wasn’t supposed to let back in. But then I felt his arms wrap around me from behind. His embrace was firm but gentle like he was trying to calm me down

    LUNCH… “Eat,” Marcus said softly. A spread of delicious food was laid out in front of me. He cooked my favorites. Marcus had clearly gone to the trouble of preparing them all, hoping I’d eat. But I just sat there, frozen, staring blankly at the table. I had no appetite. I didn’t want food. I wanted to go home. I wanted to leave this place. I watched as he scooped up a spoonful of food and held it out to me. “Ahh…” he murmured, waiting for me to open my mouth. I swatted his hand away, the food spilling onto the floor. “Snow, you have to eat. You’ve been unconscious for two days. Look at yourself… you’re getting weaker.” I swallowed hard, eyes brimming with tears. “Take me home, Marcus. I can’t live here… not on this island,” I said lifelessly. The same plea I’d repeated like a broken record. I just wanted to go back to the mainland. We were on an island. Remote. Isolated. I had no idea where exactly. From what I saw, no one else lived here. There were no other houses or signs
