Evanora embraces both her grandmother and mother as they swarm her immediately once she walked through the front door as Michael's men carried her suitcases inside. "My baby!" Annemie cries frantically as Evanora smiles.

Her grandmother quickly leaves her granddaughter's arms as she runs to the kitchen to grab Evanora's favorite dessert that they made together for her arrival home before running back to the living room. She hands her granddaughter the dessert as she smiles cheek to cheek. "Here you go, Evie." Aimi says as Evanora takes the dessert in her hands before nodding her head at her grandmother to thank her for the dessert.

"Thank you, obaasan" Evanora says before she walks toward her old bedroom as her mother and grandmother follows behind. She turns quickly. "You don't need to follow me, Ma and Obaasan. I'll be fine. I just want to be alone for a few moments."

"Are you sure? I can always help you unpack!" Her mother says happily as Evanora makes a face.

"I am certain that it's not needed but thank you, Ma. I just need to be alone for a while. It's been nearly a month without any alone time. The Jacksons had kept me busy."

Especially with my anxiety and emotions along with Michael's anger toward me.

Evanora smiles at her mother as she steps back into her room before closing her door as she waves goodbye to her relatives. Evanora quickly stuffs down the dessert into her mouth as she wipes her hands together to remove the small bits of the dessert from her hands. She reaches into her sock as she pulled out a folded note that Samantha gave to her once she found her walking back to her bedroom. She opens it quickly as she read the instructions.

"I am sneaking back into the manor...? No fucking way.." Evanora whispers as she lowers the letter down in shock. "Michael will kill me if he saw me there..." Evanora walks toward an unfamiliar, large suitcase as she opens it slowly. Once it pops open, another letter was inside. Evanora opens it as it read:

Behind the Mask, you can control the world around you. He will never notice unless you take off the mask to reveal your face.

- Samantha A. A.

Evanora read out loud softly as she places the note on her bed before lifting the bright red gown from the large suitcase. "My dress..." Evanora coos as she smiles excitedly before the mask drops to the ground. Evanora places the dress to the side before lifting up the white mask with red jewels that surrounded the edges.

She sighs heavily.

"Here goes nothing...."

Michael removes his fedora and places it on his dresser as his curls dangle in front of his face as his shoulder-length hair remains in his ponytail. "Nice new look, Michael..." Darren says as he helps Eric with his tie as the other two boys polish their leather shoes for the big event. Michael smiles through the mirror as he left his tuxedo unbutton, he walks toward his bed before sitting down on it as he watches his friends finish getting ready.

"Are you excited for tonight, Eric?" Leon asks him. Eric chuckles.

"I'm excited to devour myself in the birthday cake and the dinner. How about you?" Eric replies as Leon smirks.

"I'm just ready to see Michael's cute sister dressed up." Leon says as he licks his lip as Michael glares at him.

"Again, I have three sisters. One is married, engaged and the other is waiting for Mother's approval. If I catch you messing with any of my sisters, I'll kick your ass to the curb. Take that as a threat and as a promise." Michael snaps at him. Leon's eyes widen as he looks down at the ground.
