Dangerously Yours Masquerade 소설 & 이야기

The club pulsed with a heartbeat of its own — bass thick enough to feel in the ribs, light bleeding blue and violet across a hundred restless faces. It was the kind of night the city swallowed whole, where secrets and sin sat at the same table and nobody asked questions. Lance Ivory hadn't meant to be the center of attention. He rarely did. But it happened anyway, the way it always did — a rose tucked behind his ear, dark hair falling into eyes that looked bored with the whole world, and a body draped carelessly over a velvet booth like he owned the room. Beside him, Van Hert laughed at something Lance had said, the two of them tangled up in that easy, reckless kind of fun that only came aft

"That this weirdo is spending so much money on you. You haven't met this guy before, but he knows work is hard for you and how stressed you are with all the gossip. He misses your eyes, your beauty." Kali stared at the box. "How many times did you read that card." "Is that what matters now? Listen to me. This guy can be dangerous. If he is making fantasies in his head and convincing himself that there is a relationship between the two of you. He could do something dangerous one of these days." Kali seemed to understand where he was going. She immediately shifted from sceptical to worried. He didn't want to scare her, but it was something that they had to address.

“I mean it. Please stay.” And as I looked into his eyes, I realized… This was dangerous. The fact I wanted to stay was dangerous. My desires were dangerous.

Mae breathe out in relief but that was only shortlived as another reason for her to panic came up again. "Who else does he have tailing me Damian?" "Just me, for some months now." Mae frowned, "why?" "The boss thinks that there is no reason to keep hovering over you, everyone in town knows that you belong to him and so far so good, you have been a good girl and have not attempted to leave this town". Mae snickered. "like I could even if I'd wanted to." "Look Mae, this mafia life is dangerous. I know they assure protection but I want you and the father of your baby to be done with his family as soon as you can get your bearings and hide your identities well".

"Call you when I land?" "You better." "Be safe. Don’t let Maya drag you into anything." "No promises." I blew him a kiss. "Good luck." He caught it, pressed his hand to his chest. The call ended. I stared at the blank screen, missing him already. Then I remembered the email. It was right at the top. Subject: Something for us I clicked. "I got us tickets to the Crimson Masquerade next Friday. Costumes, dancing, dramatic lights, vampires, forbidden lovers — all the dramatic things you love.

"We are all mysteries to one another, cloaked in shadows and secrets. But here in this place, on this night, we shall peel back the layers and expose what lies beneath." Serving as a lullaby, her words sends a thrill of danger, and it hangs in the air dangerously as we gather here, away from the eyes of the world. This masquerade midnight rules are simple — answer honestly and face our truths, and face a dare designed to make us question everything. Fail a dare and face the consequences, whatever form they may take. The masquerade demands a sacrifice from those who fail, so choose your truths and dares with care lest you find yourself unwittingly offering up more than you bargained for. "

I smiled because its hard to believe that this is the same man who said that he wanted to eat me. “What’s so funny?” David asked and I shook my head, “nothing” I said. “No need to apologise, you have been so good to us” May said. “Yes, you have also been treating us good as well” Clara said with her usual gentle smile. “Then shall we talk business?” Alexa asked and everyone nodded. “First I would like to say a few things. There is a masquerade happening here tomorrow, and I anticipate that things will get a little dangerous” Sebastian.

“And when they realized that… you became the easiest way to hurt me.” Lena’s pulse echoed in her ears. “But who? Who is doing this?” Alexander hesitated — and that hesitation terrified her. “His name is Marcus Hale,” Alexander finally said. “He used to be on the Board. He and I built this company together. Then we turned into enemies.” “Hale…” Lena repeated slowly. “Detective Hale?” “No,” he said quickly. “Different person. Same last name. Marcus is… more dangerous.” Lena stepped closer, fear and anger tangled inside her chest. “Alex… if he’s that dangerous, why didn’t you tell the police?”

"His security team once hospitalized someone who tried to break into his house. The guy wound up a months-long coma with broken ribs and a shattered kneecap. It's impressive, but I wouldn't say he's perfect." Only Sloane would think putting a guy in a coma was impressive. "Trust me, I know. I'm not the one you have to convince," I muttered. Not that Dante's notorious ruthlessness mattered to my family. He could shoot someone during rush hour in midtown Manhattan and they'd say the person deserved it. "I don't understand why you agreed to any engagement at all." Sloane shook her head. "You don't need your parents' money. You can marry who you want and there's not a thing they can do about t i
