LIES IN TRUTHS

Chapter B: MASQUERADE

Invitation

I slowly opened my eyes and started to wonder immediately about what happened yesterday and then one thought crossed my head.

"Who are you? Why does he know me?",
I said to myself as I dossed to start the day

"Mistress, your breakfast is served" my trusty maid said

"Thank You, Myra, I will eat it at the dinning hall" I replied, then after that I took a bath then again started to wonder who I had met yesterday.

His soft blue eyes and cloud like fluffy hair and another with glimmering greyish eyes, and snow like hair.

Then I went down to eat my breakfast, "Miss, there is an invitation for you that came in this morning"...my maid said

"Oh! as to what do I have the honor of attending?" I replied, as I opened the letter there was a symbol, a butterfly, on the front of the letter, as I read the letter I realize it was written by someone of great dignity and vocabulary, "Mhm! Who is this?" I mumbled to myself.

Breakfast was great but today is the weekend and I was going to spend it in the mall all day but I guess Im going to a party this afternoon but before that Im going to the mall to kill some time before the party.

Hikari Mall, the largest mall in the city where I own half of all its establishments, "Such a bore to go around these kind of mall only to find that nothing has changed" as I turned my head back I saw and unfamiliar café and to my surprise I saw the boy again, the one that I bumped into, so in rush for more info about him I headed to the café,

"Mam, what's your order?" he asked me as I approached the counter, "Umm, I would like to order the double whipped machiato expresso please" I replied as I dazed into his eyes, "Your order will be ready soon mam, please take a seat as you wait for your order" he said guiding me to a table tk wait for my order, as I waited I got a closer looked at him and his tall and handsome for his age,

"Does he know who I am? Did he forgot or something?"

I thought to myself, I quickly gathered myself as he heads toward me to deliver my order, he then handed me my order and as I looked closer I saw a butterfly broach on his shirt, the same butterfly I saw along with the letter, so in curiosity I asked him,

"Whats that?"

I asked him out of the blue then he just smiled back at me and went to the counter, so I sat there and drank my machiato whilst looking out the window, not noticing what time it was,

"Hi, my name is Max, Im sorry for not answering your question before, this is a butterfly broach a symbol for the Higabana Family, it was a gift from my mother" he approached me and with a soft and strong voice he started a conversation with me, we laughed and laughed the afternoon away but as our conversation went on I noticed a hint of sadness and grief while we talked about his family but it didnt interfere with our conversation.

Party

"Miss, your evening gown is ready!" my dress was ready for the evening gala tonight, "Thank You!, put it at my bed" I replied.

Getting ready is really difficult when you have to constantly look for the best outfit,

"Myra! Whats this?, Why is my dress pink?, I specigically instructed the tailor that it was gonna be black!" I said dissapointed,

"No matter, I guess I'll just have to wear it, no use getting angry" I said to myself. Tonight is the evening gala in which I was invited surprisingly, then was the dress catastrophe,

"Myra, please have my driver escourt me to the gala tonight!" I instructed my maid,

"Im sorry Miss, your driver could not make it tonight, from what I know someone is picking you up for the party" she answered, then I was caught off guard that someone is picking me up, "Who could it be?" I thought to myself.
