Beyond The Mask Book Novels & Stories

"So, Mask. Who's your paradise? Rather, who's your paraluman?" END OF FLASHBACK

I married my nightmares, a ruthless, Alpha, that could even kill someone for stepping on his toes. Will I survive my stay here in this palace? I’m not sure. But I wondered why it was wearing a mask though. He even wear it to sleep. Is he not tired of it? I wonder what his face looks like. “ are you staring at me? Or is this what you would do for the whole night?” His voice was low but menacing. There is no difference between my face and tomato. I closed my eyes instantly and covered myself with the duvet. Hiding myself completely under it.

We move to the tables to make our hair and faces match our outfits. Izzy pulls my mask from her drawer, the one rule I always had. My face had to be covered. My family could not find out I was here and they dealt plenty with sleazy men. The masks leaves my mouth open, but covers the top half of my face. "You girls ready?" Thomas asks from the door when he peeks in. "Holy fuck. I don't think I'm ready. You two are delicious."

They were possibilities. I set my briefcase down, opened it, and took out the leather mask I had tucked inside. I looked at it for a long time, the same private object that had been where last night and whose edges still held his imprint. I thought of cedar. I thought of leather. I thought of a man who could steady me with a single, necessary gesture and then slide back into duty as if nothing had happened.

"Maybe not. The decision is up to you. I just did it for your information but I hope we're inside the hideout. Outside let's go back to the past and our hidden Identity, is it clear?" "Yes!" the women answered at once. Everyone had fun. "Guys, do you agree that we should remove our masks at the same time?" Astra asked happily. Dindo is just waiting to see what happens next. He wanted to approach and hug Amore but he felt embarrassed. He was contented to just watch his friend first. He was also happy because she was safe. It’s his fault why she almost perished at Regor’s hands. "Are you all ready? One, two, three-," Astra said then they removed the masks at the same time.

"Do you take this woman to be your wife, to stand by her through thick and thin?" "I do," the man said, his voice muffled by the mask. The guests whispered in awe. Howard Larson, the Larson family's big shot, was so in love with me that he would not let a bad cold stop our big day. He did not want to disappoint me. "Wait a second." The man's eyes darted around, and his forehead was dotted with sweat. I smiled and asked, "Howard, you're looking a bit pale. Too busy with the wedding to remember your medicine?"

The sapphires winked under the chandelier, as if they knew a secret. Amy's phone vibrated. A new message from an unknown number: Like the necklace? It’s not the only thing I brought back to life. She swallowed hard, thumb hovering over the screen. Liam and Celine were side by side now, crossing the floor toward her. Amy squared her shoulders, heart pounding. The war had moved into the open.. and the first blow was coming straight at her.

How else was she supposed to feel when the man she had given a lap dance to one night turned out to be her boss the very next day? “Whatever. I’m heading out,” she said, sliding her bag over her shoulder. “Give Eric my love, tell him Aunt Amy misses him,” Amy called after her. “Sure thing. See you tomorrow,” Mackenzie replied with a wave before leaving. ********** wanna thank you all for you support. it means a lot to me as a newbie writer. thank you all for giving my book an audience. please add up to you library and drop a review. and also tell me you thought about Mackenzie and Alexander?
