Compared to the pale blue gown Curtis had given her last time, tonight's dress lent Victoria an air of regal elegance and quiet mystery.

The moment she lifted her gaze, soft moonlight spilled across her delicate features, making her breathtakingly beautiful-so much so that she seemed almost unreal.

As Victoria stepped out of the car, a flurry of camera flashes greeted her. The media, their spotlights trained on the mysterious socialite, whispered among themselves, speculating about her identity.
