That evening, the car wound its way up the mountain road toward an expansive estate.
Outside the gates, rows of luxury cars were lined up.

A cluster of classic-style buildings stood tall at the center of a manicured lawn. Their pointed rooftops and the warm glow spilling from arched windows made the entire place feel like something out of a fairytale.
The estate shimmered under layers of golden light, and the air was rich with the fragrance of blooming
flowers.
The car slowed to a stop in front of the main residence. A valet rushed forward to open the door.
Sebastian stepped out, holding Lilian’s hand, and retrieved an embroidered box from the car.
Opening it, he took out a white mask. He gently swept her hair back and fastened the mask over her face. Pulling her into his arms, he whispered near her ear, “You’re too beautiful tonight. I don’t want anyone else to see p>
Lilian looked at him curiously. “A masquerade p>
She had never liked balls-especially because she didn’t know how to dance.
Sebastian took her hand and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Not a ball, It’s something you’ll actually enjoy.” With that, he led her toward the main house.
Inside the grand hall, enormous chandeliers cast dazzling light overhead. Intricate designs lined the walls, illustrating a mysterious, ancient culture.
The black marble floor was laced with golden threads, its cold gleam reflecting under the crystal lights.
Guests stood in small groups throughout the hall, sipping drinks, laughing, chatting.
Even with masks on, the aura radiating from Sebastian and Lilian drew attention.
Especially Lilian-with her white mask and dark, wavy hair glowing faintly under the chandeliers. Her flowing white chiffon dress made her look like a goddess descending among mortals.
“Sebastian! You’re finally here. We’ve been waiting forever,” a voice suddenly called out.
A tall, striking man approached them. He radiated charm and confidence, his every move steeped in masculine allure.
Sebastian gave a small nod and said to Lilian, “Fawks p>
Lilian greeted him with a polite smile. “Nice to meet you p>
Fawks glanced at their joined hands, visibly surprised. He waggled his eyebrows at Sebastian. “Come on, spill it. Where’d you pick up this little beauty?” Then he turned to Lilian. “Nice to meet you. Mind if I call you by name p>
Sebastian responded flatly, “Ignore him.” Then, still holding Lilian’s hand, he led her upstairs without

They ascended the grand spiral staircase to the second floor and entered the central private lounge. It was even more luxurious than the main hall.
Inside, several men were already seated. When Sebastian walked in with a young woman at his side, they whistled teasingly.
“Wow, Sebastian, the eternal bachelor finally blooms. Is this the same girl Kang Hao saw at your villa last
time p>
“Yeah. Sebastian, come on-spill a little so we know if we should be calling her sister-in-law p>
Sebastian ignored the teasing and led Lilian to an empty couch.
The others glanced her way, curiosity in their eyes. After all, this was the first time Sebastian had ever brought a woman close-let alone like this. Even though she wore a mask, her aura was striking. It only made them more curious about the face hidden underneath.
One of the men chuckled and said. “Sebastian, seriously? You’re guarding her like treasure. Can’t even let us see her face? We’ve been your bros for years p>
“Exactly, Sebastian. Everyone else has seen your girl’s face-we haven’t. Don’t treat us like outsiders.” Fawks had followed them in and now flopped down on the other side of the couch.
“Yeah, come on. At least let her take off the mask. If we bump into her on the street, we won’t even recognize her. That’d be so awkward.” the others chimed in with mock protests.
