Knight Group Banquet:
Susan and Sasha pull up in one of Sasha’s old-style Corvettes and turn it over to the valet. Sasha gets out of the car and hands the key to the valet.

“Please be careful with it.” Sasha didn’t want anything to happen to her old Corvette.

“Yes ma’am.” The young valet accepts the keys from Sasha.

“You know, we could have arrived in the BMW, instead.” As Susan and Sasha walk up the steps together.

“I know, but I wanted to drive my Corvette.” Sasha walks side by side with her wife.

“Ladies, your invite please?” A huge black guy dressed in a security suit was standing at the door.

A smirk appears on Sasha’s face as to what she could do to this person. He might intimidate most people, but he didn’t initiate her at all.

“Here you go, sir.” Susan shows her VIP invitee.

Simon accepts the invitation from the woman. He knew who she was and who her plus one was as well. He looks at the invite and hands it back to her.

“Thank you, ma’am.” Simon smiles at them as he watches as they walk inside the building.

Rose pulls up in her new Mustang and turns the keys over to the valet. It took her a while to get ready since she normally didn’t dress up. She spent her lunchtime, buying a high-end dress that she knew she was going to only wear once. She couldn’t believe she spent three thousand dollars on a nice pair of heels. She wonders why women's clothes cost so much.

She spots the security person at the entrance. She pulls her invite out and prepares to hand it to the security person.

“Here you go, Mr. Virtuo.” Rose shows her invite to the security person.

He notices that the young woman whom he hasn’t seen before knows his name. He looks at the invite and notices it was a VIP invite as well. That has been two so far.

“Thank you.” As he hands the invite back to the young woman.

He opens the door for Rose.

Rose smiles at him and enters the building. She hasn’t been to any of these events since her transformation into a woman. As Rose enters the building, she spots several people she knew. Some of them had tried to hit on her when she uses to be a guy, while the others were assholes towards her.

She knew they were gold diggers and always looking to elevate their status. Some of them even fool around with the other's boyfriend. She grabs a flute of champagne as a waitress walks by her.

While Rose is mingling with a few people she knows. Out of the corner of her eye, she spots a woman who looks like Susan Blackstone from Wildfire. She knew Susan Blackstone came from a well-off family. She also knew Susan was married to fellow bandmate and famous stage magician Sasha Wolfhart.

An idea pops into Rose’s head. Maybe she could talk to Mrs. Wolfhart about some of the independent stage magicians. Maybe she knew of someone that might be the person she was looking for. Her smile gets bigger while she thinks about the idea.

“Susan, I’m so glad you could make it. I see you brought along your wife.” Emily looks at Sasha with a snide look on her face.

“It’s good to see you as well, Emily.” Sasha smiles sweetly at Emily. The last time they cross each other's path. Things didn’t turn out so well.

A smirk appears on Susan’s face because she knows what her wife did to Emily. She had to admit that Emily deserved what she got.

“I see you are looking better, after your accident, Emily.”

Emily looked a little startled after Susan mentioned the situation between her and Sasha. She still wanted revenge for what Sasha did to her. She swallows her pride “Yes. I have someone I would like you to meet.”

The black hair gentleman who had been standing near them turns around. He had a charming face with bright hazel eyes. He stood a few inches taller than Emily in her three-inch heels. He had lightly tanned skin and looked to be of European descent.

Sasha looked at the guy and saw how he looked at her wife and Emily. She noticed the predatory look in his eyes. He was the kind of guy who enjoyed seducing women and taking everything they had, including their virginity.

“It's so nice to meet you ladies.” Ciarán smiles sweetly at the ladies standing before him. He wouldn’t mind taking each of them and turning them into his sex slave.

He felt Emily grip his hand and could feel her emotions. There was lust, possessiveness, and something else when she looked at the auburn red-haired woman.

“Ciarán, this is Susan Blackstone and her companion Sasha Wolfhart. Ladies, this is Ciarán Kilvert he’s going to provide the entertainment for tonight.” Emily thought she would up one over on Sasha.

“Oh?” Sasha felt something she didn’t like coming from Mr. Kilvert.

“Yes, he is going to perform for us.” A smile appears on Emily.

Ciarán kept his gaze on Susan. He was looking directly into her eyes. He was going to try and convince her to leave Sasha.

Sasha noticed what Ciarán was trying to do to Susan. A smirk appears on her face, as she slips a metal joy buzzer onto her hand. She reaches out and lightly touches Ciarán’s hand. A strong electrical charge erupts from the joy buzzer, causing Ciarán to jump.

“OWE!” Ciarán almost had Susan hypnotized.

A smirk appears on Sasha’s face. She looks at Ciarán. “What happened? Did something shock you?”

Susan shakes her head. It felt woozy and she was a little shaken. She grips Sasha’s hand tightly. She knew something wasn’t right and was glad her wife was standing next to her.

Rose had been nearby and noticed everything. Something about the guy was setting off warning bells in her head. She has been secretly taking pictures of everyone at the banquet. Most of the people she knew, but there were a few new people she didn’t know.

Ciarán gives Sasha a dirty look. He knew her reputation and didn’t want to push her buttons. This wasn’t the place or time for it. Her time would come, and when it did. He would have his sweet revenge on her later.
