Prologue

November 1870

He was getting ready for his big entrance. Standing before a mirror he checked himself and brushed an invisible piece of dust from his pants. With his skull mask in place, hair perfectly slicked back, and sword in hand he watched behind the curtain as couples swayed to the jovial music. His eyes automatically scanned the room to rest on the beautiful blond haired woman who sat watching the dance floor with dreamy eyes. She was utter perfection he thought. Glossy curls and smooth blushing cheeks, there was no definition that could do justice to the goddess that she is. He had been her mentor behind the scenes for quite some time and had just recently shown himself to her. She was begining to show some signs of the love that he was despretly trying to uncover. She would be his. Mind, body and sould, just as he would be to her. He sighed and checked himself once more in the mirror. Turning back to the ball room he growled inwardly as he watched the tall and dark haired Chagny walk up to her and ask for a dance.

How dare he, that fop! If only she was not blinded by his good looks and wealth.

Sighing inwardly he looked back at his reflection in the mirror and carefully pulled the mask from his gruesome face. He wondered how any woman would love him. Especially with half his face destroyed as it is. He had visible veins protruding through his transparent layer of skin and noticeable scratches running vertically down his cheeks. The other side of his face ironically was breathtakingly handsome. It was almost as if an angel was punished by given half of a demons face.

At least there's half

He thought cynically. Sweeping back the curtains he opened his mouth to sing and make his entrance; he would be sure to win his way into Christine's heart. Even if his life depended on it.

November 2006

Seeva bustled around frantically looking for the briefcase that held her divorce documents. She knew that if she did not find them soon she would be late for her appearance at court, which meant an embarrassing entrance in front of her ex.

Please god, spare me the embarrassment

Just the thought of having to look at the smug looking face of her ex made her seethe and search faster. She was wearing her formal black pin-striped business suit, with black camisole she had bought earlier this week. Her wavy, shoulder length black hair was tied tightly into a bun at the nape of her neck giving her a serious and professional look. She had waited this day since she had broken up with her husband six months before. She sighed and thought back at her marriage. It had begun like all other love marriages; sweet and warm, until she hit the knot in the smooth running silk. She was 22 years old and was ready to have children. He was 25 and wanted to wait. This was just the beginning of her problems. It had all begun to escalate from there. She couldn't seek out help from her parents, they expected her to be submissive and quiet like all other Sri Lankan brides, but she was the direct opposite. When he started to come home drunk and tried to beat her she packed up and left sending him divorce papers the next day. Her parents had warned her, especially after she told them what had happened. They wanted her to have an arranged marriage, but she being the rebellious one, decided against it believing that her marriage should be based on her choices. Shaking her head she went back to searching, eventually finding it next to her dog's bed. Taking a quick look at herself in the mirror she grabbed her keys and left her two bedroom apartment.
