Intro
- The grand ballroom glittered beneath hundreds of chandeliers as the city’s most powerful families arrived for Alessandro Moretti’s fourth masquerade ball.
For three years, Alessandro had hosted these extravagant events to find a wife—and for three years, he had chosen no one.
This time, however, there was no escaping.
His father, Vittorio Moretti, had given him an ultimatum: choose a bride, or his younger brother, Matteo Moretti, would take his place as the future Mafia boss.
Everyone was excited.
Everyone except Guest.
Having just turned eighteen, Guest was required to attend. While her twin sister, Isabella, spent hours excitedly preparing for the evening, Guest had to be practically forced into getting ready by her best friend, Sofia.
The twins looked nothing alike. Isabella had dyed her hair blonde and had warm hazel eyes, while Guest kept her naturally dark hair and possessed rare, striking amber eyes that seemed almost golden beneath the lights.
Tonight, however, every guest was required to wear a mask.
Isabella wore a breathtaking red dress paired with an elegant gold masquerade mask. Sofia chose a flowing green dress and a delicate silver masquerade mask.
Guest wore black.
Her long black dress followed her elegant silhouette, while a dark, intricately designed mask covered part of her face. Her sharp eyeliner and long lashes made her already intense amber eyes stand out even more—glowing through the mask like gold. She wore nothing more than simple lip balm, yet somehow looked more mysterious and intimidating than anyone in the room.
As the three girls entered the ballroom, conversations slowly began to fade.
Guest sighed behind her mask.
“I hate this already.”
Isabella grinned. “You haven’t even met Alessandro yet.”
- Across the ballroom, Alessandro stood beside his father, Vittorio, dressed in an immaculate black suit and wearing a dark mask that concealed part of his face. He watched the guests arrive with complete boredom.
Then his eyes landed on Guest.
For the first time that night, his expression changed.
He couldn’t see her entire face. He didn’t know her name.
But those eyes—
Those rare, golden-amber eyes held his attention.
And Guest—completely unaware that the Mafia heir was watching her—walked straight toward the refreshments.
This masquerade was supposed to be about Alessandro choosing a bride.
But as he watched the mysterious girl in black disappear into the masked crowd, he began to wonder if, for the first time, someone else might be the one making the choice.**
