After dark, everyone gathered at the ball hall to attend the masquerade dancing party.
Dressed in a long silver dress and wearing a sliver mask, Sophia looked like a demon in the dark sky.
On the other side, Lucas was in black, just like the vampire of the West ancient castle.
He was constantly invited to dance with pretty girls, but Sophia politely refused each of them.
"How did you get through all these years? Wherever you go, there are bees and letitias buzzing around
you. " She took a sip of the zero degree cocktail, moisturizing her throat, and extremely suspected that
he was a God's prank, deliberately created him to tease women.
"Why didn't you show up earlier?" Lucas touched her delicate nose.
"If I had appeared earlier, I might have died." She pouted.
"What do you mean?" He raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied with this title.
"I'm helping you cut the crap. I must be exhausted." As she said, she sighed on purpose, even longer
than the end of her trance.
He couldn't help laughing and grabbed her to sit on his lap. "So you poisoned us to make us not
interested in other women?"
"That's not enough." She put her hand on his shoulder and blinked her eyes mischievously. "I need to
be more vicious. If you can't see, you'll be fine."
"You are the only one in my eyes." He put his lips on hers and kissed her.
"Really?" She raised her eyebrows and fluttered her thick eyelashes mischievously. "I'll play a game. I'll
go through the crowd to see if you can find me." Before she finished her words, she jumped up from his
legs and quickly disappeared in the dancing crowd.
He smiled, took a sip of champagne and walked into the crowd.
When Sophia had passed through the dance crowd and came to a dim corner, she was looking back to
see if Lucas was chasing after her. And a figure rushed to her abruptly and spilled ice water on her
dress.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you." The girl covered her mouth with hand and looked at Sophia in surprise.
"Nothing." Sophia waved her hand. She felt uncomfortable as the water was dripping. So she had to go
upstairs to change her clothes.
She put on the clothes she wore in the daytime, hung the wet clothes on the clothes rack and went out.
When she passed by the next room, the door opened. A woman wearing a mask poked her head out.
But Sophia couldn't see her face.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Sophia nodded and walked into the room. The woman pointed to the ground and said, "my earrings are
missing. Can you help me look for them?"
"Okay." Sophia bent down and started to look for her. Suddenly, she took off the mask and ran out of
the door. The door was closed with a crack.
"Hello!" Knowing that she was fooled, Sophia rushed to the door and found that the door was locked.
"What are you doing? Open the door! " Sophia slapped the door with all her strength, but didn't receive
any reply. The party was going to end, and no one would come up. She could only wait for the end of
the party, unless Lucas came for her.
The woman laughed weirdly before she went to her bedroom and took off her wet clothes. She didn't
mind the feeling of being wet. Putting on the mask, she stood in front of the mirror and walked out
proudly. From now on, she was Sophia.
In the ball room downstairs, he searched everywhere but didn't find her.
"Where has she been?"
When he was wondering, she suddenly walked through the crowd and walked towards him.
"You are good at hiding. If I still can't find you, I will turn the alarm on." He smiled teasingly and pulled
her into his arms.
She snuggled up to his strong chest, desperately sucking his good male scent. Her slender fingers
wandered around his body, feeling his sexy yet well proportioned muscles. All cells were excited. She
couldn't help raising her snow-white leg, slipped down from his slender leg, and clearly felt every inch
of his strong leg, and her stomach constricted unconsciously.
She raised her head and wanted to kiss him. Suddenly, Lucas grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled
her away. "You are not Sophia. Who are you?"
She was trembling with fear. When he was about to take off her mask, she pushed him away with force
and quickly squeezed into the crowd.
"Stop!" He snapped and went after her.
She ran out of the villa and went to the stairs outside the building behind her. Then she rushed to the
top of the building, running up with all her strength.
Hearing no footsteps following, she breathed out several breaths while patting her chest.
She didn't expect that he recognized her so soon. Did he have smart eyes? She was so depressed that
she picked up a stone and threw it outside.
What's good about Sophia? A man like him should never belong to one woman at all.
She tightened her grip on the fence. She felt suffocated by anger. When she was about to take off her
hairpin and take some fresh air, she suddenly felt a hand resting on her shoulder. She held her breath
and turned around slowly.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me!" She patted her chest and said, "when did you come up? You are like a ghost and
walked without making a sound."
There was no response. Her blood red dress stood out especially in the dim light.
Her long hair hung around her waist was disheveled in the wind. Like a ghost, her skull shaped mask
was partly covered.
"What are you pretending to be, purity?" She giggled. Then she suddenly realized that she was in
America and the woman must not understand what she said, so she repeated it in English.
The mask woman kept silent. She was a little impatient and wanted to take off her mask. Suddenly, the
woman reached out and strangled her neck so hard that she could hardly breathe.
She was frightened, struggling desperately, scratching her randomly, and taking off the other's mask. It
was a pale face without any color, like a dead person. Her eyes were red as if they were going to bleed.
Extreme horror almost made her lose the ability to resist. When she was about to be strangled, a heavy
and fast footsteps came from the stairs. The person immediately loosened her hand and ran into
darkness, which was swallowed in the night.
She collapsed to the ground, removed the mask, covered her neck, and coughed violently. She was
grabbed by someone. "Caspar, why are you here?"
"Ghost. Ghost. Ghost wants to kill me..." She pointed to the direction where the ghost fled in a
trembling voice. She had already lost her soul.
"Where is Sophia? Where is Sophia?" Lucas grabbed her shoulders. Bob also came. He ran towards
the direction that Caspar was pointing at, but saw nothing.
"Ghost, ghost wants to kill me..." It seemed that Caspar didn't hear what Lucas said. He slapped on the
face. "Where is Sophia? I'm asking you where she is." Lucas growled. His voice was so loud that it
almost broke Caspar's eardrum. At that moment, Caspar finally woke up.
"I have locked her up in the room downstairs." She said tremblingly.
Suddenly, Bob pointed to the outside of the villa. A figure was running towards the beach, "there's
someone there!"
When Lucas saw a red shadow, he frowned his eyebrows, "go and chase her. I'll go to find Sophia."
After saying that, he added, "be careful, and take the gun!"
