In a world where secrets are currency and trust is a luxury, can Scarlett let down her walls for a man who sees her for who she truly is? Or will her guarded heart remain untouchable, even in the face of love? The Queen Behind the Mask is a gripping tale of power, passion, and the courage to open one's heart.

Chapter 1 The Sweet Scarlet

The morning sunlight spilled through the towering windows of the Everleigh mansion, casting a golden glow on the marble floors. Scarlett Everleigh sat in the grand dining room, a picture of elegance and charm. Her soft auburn hair fell in delicate waves over her shoulders, and her emerald-green eyes sparkled as she smiled sweetly at her parents.

"Darling, you must eat more," her mother, Vivienne Everleigh, urged, placing another croissant on Scarlett's plate. "You've been looking so thin lately. People might think we're not feeding you properly."

Scarlett giggled softly, her voice like a melody. "Mama, I'm perfectly fine. Besides, you've been spoiling me with all these delicious pastries. I don't think I can eat another bite."

"Nonsense," her father, Charles Everleigh, chimed in, his booming laugh filling the room. "A girl as beautiful as you needs to keep her strength up. Eat, sweetheart."

Scarlett gave him a playful pout. "Papa, if I keep eating, I'll have to add an extra hour to my workouts."

Vivienne waved her hand dismissively. "You're perfect just the way you are, my love. Let the world envy your beauty."

Scarlett's cheeks flushed as she laughed lightly, a sound that seemed to brighten the already luxurious room. To anyone looking in, she was the quintessential daughter of privilege-gentle, graceful, and adored by her doting parents.

As the Everleighs finished breakfast, the family moved to the sunroom, where Vivienne and Charles continued their pampering.

"Scarlett, darling, did you see the invitations for the charity gala next week?" Vivienne asked, handing her a gilded envelope. "We'll need you to charm the guests as always."

Scarlett opened the envelope delicately, her movements poised and refined. "Of course, Mama. Anything to help the family."

Charles beamed with pride. "That's my girl. You've always been our shining star, Scarlett. The Everleigh name is stronger because of you."

Scarlett leaned over to kiss his cheek. "And I'll keep doing my best, Papa. I love making you proud."

Her words were sincere, and her parents basked in the warmth of her affection.

Later, as her parents busied themselves with estate matters, Scarlett wandered into the grand library. She trailed her fingers along the spines of the books, her mind drifting.

She glanced at the antique grandfather clock, her lips curving into a faint, secretive smile.

She was Scarlett, the sweet and delicate flower of the Everleigh family. Known as the epitome of perfection.

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
