Drew Devonshire adjusted his mask. He looked a little like the Phantom with his white shirt, dark pants, and cape, but the look suited him. If only he were more excited about this event, but they were all the same. He’d been attending them for years, and the results never changed. By the end of the night, he would be dying of boredom, dazed from the alcohol he’d consumed to battle said boredom, and have at least a dozen numbers in his pocket from women after his money whom he had no interest in.

It was always the same people there - the affluent and elite of society. They would gather at some elaborate venue with tiny portions of intricate food that would cost whoever was hosting the event a fortune. In this case, that was Drew, or his family rather, as his mother was hosting this masquerade ball at one of their hotels.

Occasionally, a millionaire from another town would be in attendance or sometimes a relative of one of the families would be, but even those instances were rare. His mother invited old friends and only new people she thought would attend her next benefit. Since those were priced at a thousand dollars a plate that list was small. Plus, while the food was delectable, it never filled him up, and he invariably had to have his chef make him a second meal when he returned home.

If only he could get out of this, but his mother would be there. If he didn’t attend, she would be livid. As heir to the billion-dollar hotel chain, it was his duty to attend events like this. Maybe he could leave early, but what would he do even if he could? Return home to his mansion and watch television alone again? He already did that nightly.

For a time, he had filled his nights with women. One after the other, he had wined them and dined them, but none had held his interest. Soon, the very thought of dating and pretending to like them had grown old. They were all alike - cookie cutters of their mothers and their mothers before them. Tailored clothing, designer shoes, and an appetite for spending money without abandonment appeared to be all that drove these women. Drew wanted something different. He had no idea what, but something different. No, that wasn’t true. He wanted someone like Marjorie had been or who he thought Marjorie had been.

A knock sounded on his door. “Come in.” It had to be Pierre, his butler. Though officially the help, Pierre felt more like family. He had been Drew’s butler for over a decade now and his confidante almost as long.

“Are you ready, sir? Manuel has the limo waiting.” Pierre was older than Drew, gray at the temples and with more lines on his face, but still handsome. He had never wanted to marry, and as Drew paid him well, he seemed content to remain Drew’s main butler, but he had a few men beneath him, so he could take time off when he needed.
