“Have fun for me. I think I’ll pass on the eve festival. I might run into Victoria or others who still remember that video. It’s safer if I just attend the main Lunar Ball tomorrow. I heard it’s a masquerade, no one should recognize me behind a mask.” Bria stopped twirling and placed her hands on her hips. “Are you still worrying about that old video? It’s ancient news already! It barely lasted an hour before the next scandal took over. There’s a completely different trend dominating the headlines now. No one’s talking about it anymore, I promise.” Myra nodded slowly, though doubt still lingered in her eyes. She appreciated Bria’s reassurance, but the memory of the humiliation still stung.“C

Kasen picked up his black mask, turned his back on them, and walked out. The masquerade ball was a glittering, decadent display of wealth and shadow. The grand ballroom was filled with hundreds of masked billionaires, classical music swirling under the high, vaulted ceilings. The masks hid the greed and hunger of the elite, their eyes shining behind gold and silver lace. Kasen stood in the shadows of a marble pillar, his eyes glued to Maeva. She wore a breathtaking, midnight-blue gown, her face partially obscured by a delicate silver lace mask. Julian was standing beside her, trying to look charming despite the faint red marks on his neck.

At exactly 19:00 hours... a series of glass clinking sounds ranged through the whole luxurious decorated venue which indicates that the masquerade ball had officially begun. The whole area was filled with different mysterious personalities clad in their elegant tuxedos and fancy evening gowns with their own desired masks. Those men in their elegant tuxedos and masks were all looked like princes who had walked out from a famous fairytale book to search for their princesses in the ball. Clang!

Something’s not right, I can feel it but I just don’t know what and it’s driving me nuts, I can hardly focus on my tasks for the day, I keep checking in on Maxi who basically told me to stop bothering her when I mindlinked and called her for the twelfth time in four hours, so I had to resort to checking in on her through Amanda, who obviously can’t express her displeasure with me if she has any as her Alpha and King. I finally break off and head back to my chambers to have a shower and get ready as my Queen is on the way back to do the same, I want to be ready and out before she gets back so I can take her in when she’s completely dressed and descends the stairs to meet me. This year, the ba

“Is this what success feels like? Competent and boring?” “Don’t jinx it,” Whitney warned. “Boring is good. Boring means we’re not dying.” But she was smiling, and I realized we were all smiling because for once, for just this moment, we’d done our jobs without catastrophe or political conspiracy or people dying in our arms. It felt strange. Almost normal. I didn’t trust it to last. Camryn POV Miranda’s contacts came through during the third week with concrete information about the masquerade ball. House Rosetti was hosting, which made sense given Olyriane’s family connections. The Chancellor would be attending as a diplomatic courtesy. And the whole thing was happening in five days.

Odell’s POV The masquerade ball was everything I expected and nothing I was ready for. Music pulsed through the air, low and hypnotic, blending with soft laughter and the clink of glasses. Masks of every kind moved through the crowd: gold, black, feathered, jeweled, hiding identities, revealing desires. Perfect. I adjusted mine slightly, my eyes scanning the room. Then my phone buzzed. A message. Ethan Parker. I’m here. Meet me at the table by the far corner.

"Jeffrey Rivero, it's been a while, a lot is happening between the two of us and between Moonlight Jade. Let’s think about today and I am asking for your help because I am in this mess. Will you help me, and we will meet Moonlight Jade together?” “ You never stop admiring me. So I think we need to shop for this masquerade ball and maybe a new makeover for you so they don’t recognize you?” He raised an eyebrow at me. That Billionaire Jeffrey meant “ Yes.” Jeffrey and I spent the next three hours shopping for our clothes for the masquerade ball, and we ended up choosing a simple black tux with a red tie for him with a red men’s mask. The same as mine, but, I dyed my slightly long hair, mustach

“ It is just a small piece of what I’ve built. I want you to have security and options. I want you to have a future you can control, no matter what.” She pressed her lips together, tears falling again. “This is too much. You didn’t have to...” “I wanted to.” He kissed her forehead. “Open the other one.” The second envelope was thicker. She slid the contents out. It was an elegant black invitation. The pleasure of your company is requested at the annual Masquerade Ball hosted by Mr. Dominic Voss Saturday, April, 20th The Voss Estate, Lakeside Black tie. Masks required. A handwritten note was tucked inside, Reggie’s script again.

“You don't have a freaking choice!” “What if Xander sees me or the press?” I asked in a concerned voice. “It's a masquerade ball for a reason,” she said, raising the masks for me to see. “Here's yours,” she said, throwing it on my lap. It was a delicate creation of silver filigree, adorned with tiny precious stones. “Perfect!” She yelled. The grand ballroom was spectacular. I threw a chef's kiss in my head. The crystal chandelier casted a soft glow over the swirling sea of masquerades, like myself.

As her thoughts returned, she realized Shawn had appeared at her side, casually wiping a highball glass. “Why not find some fun after being cooped up on the island for so long?” He smiled, elegantly bowing in a gesture of invitation. “Ms. Sanders, there’s a masquerade ball tonight. Put on a mask, forget your troubles for a while. What do you say?” Mia wanted to refuse at first, but when she caught her own pale, haggard reflection in the mirror, then she nodded inexplicably. Perhaps, she really did need a little disguise and a brief moment to breathe.
