A young girl named Valerie is stuck with an arranged marriage that she is opposed to. Her soon to be husband hosted a masquerade ball at his home, expecting Valerie to spend her time with him. However that was not that case, for she danced the night away with a stranger, a stranger that aimlessly made her fall in love.
The night which Valerie thought was never going to end, was interrupted by strange havoc, and caused great dismay to the whole building. She curiously went to see the commotion. Dorian, her friend, was already investigating the scene, and once Valerie eyes met with the deceased body, her eyes widened with disturbance.
