The Masquerade

"I have never been so afraid of life until the moment I felt the flicker of death on my throat, unhurriedly and incandescently, seeping in, and maturing like a kid." told the King of the Mafia Medusa, Damon Alden Dexter, once, a while ago.

Fed with a golden spoon and merry delights of the insane human world forfeiting a little of humanity each ticking second, Damon was a sight to behold. He was rich, funny, arrogant, handsome, and of course, the hero with a traumatic past.

Losing his sibling at the tender age of sixteen bestowed him no good, but instead drew him into the dark world of torment and depression, not to forget his deteriorating health, leaving him with a classic friend turned foe, Avel Valentino. They had their revenge, their gambles, and their territories to rule until one night the ruler of the gang was assassinated.

On the hunt to find the real culprit and learn the hidden truth from his 'frenemy,' Damon meets Beatrice, the woman he falls for, which he shouldn't have. Thus, knocks jeopardy on his door like a secret envelope unattended and begins the rollercoaster of his past ruining everything, leaving him only to shatter and wait for the death in his throat to reach its end.
