Is this destiny?

Sarah and JoAnna had difficulty not blowing up their cover at the sight of young women dressed in maid uniforms mingling amongst guests. Luckily, Eric's words warned them of the possibilities, but some of the things they saw were graphic.

Both sisters narrowed their eyes at their men when they saw Gia sitting with them.

Jeff gestured to JoAnna and Sarah to lean closer.

"If we don't let her sit with us, she will end up like other girls. And she is not willing.", Jeff explained Gia's presence in a low voice. To outsiders, it looked that White brothers are giving some instructions to their bodyguards.

"It seems that many others are not willing either.", Sarah responded through her teeth.

"Should we just blow up the party?", Aiden asked, eager to please his woman.

"It would be good if we find out why they invited us before we do anything rashly.", Jeff shared his thoughts.

They are here for almost two hours, and they still have nothing. Well, the guys don't know about Eric, but Eric probably does not know why Marcus and Lukas invited White brothers.

Their discussion was interrupted by a commotion at the one side of the venue. The main host (Marcus) arrived with few people trailing behind him.

Marcus was holding a young lady around her waist, and Eve-vision identified her as Tiffany Fortin.

JoAnna frowned when she recognized the name. "The woman by Marcus' side is the one who was after Jeff at our wedding.", she told the other three through their ear-studs.

Mr. Morgan was one step behind Marcus, with Melodie Wright by his side. JoAnna recognized this one as well: "The woman with Mr. Morgan is the one who was in a shooting match with me at my wedding. She is also a known bed climber."

Lukas was in the group as well. His hand was holding onto the hip of… Kyra. She was wearing a tight-fitting silver dress.

Jeff and Aiden exchanged glances. They know that she is one of Aiden's numerous ex-es (but they will not say that in order not to provoke Sarah), and they suspected that she is after Jeff.

"I'm not sure about Lukas' escort, but the one with Marcus and Mr. Morgan don't look happy to be here.", JoAnna commented softly.

Other three nodded in agreement. They could all see that those two young women are looking down and avoiding looking at anyone present.

"Do you think they are forced to do this in order for their families to gain favors? Like Harriet?", Sarah asked.

"Do you know what is the most disturbing?", Jeff asked and answered immediately: "Those two are Tiffany Fortin and Melodie Wright. Their fathers are in attendance."

"Are there more women like the two of them?", Aiden asked while glancing over faces of women present. "... From families who are trying to gain favor with Uncle."

JoAnna snorted. "While they were sucking up to your father, they chased after Jeff. Now it seems they are up for grabs… How low will they go for money and power? What about the one with Lukas? She is wearing an expensive dress."

"That is Kyra Bell.", Aiden responded. "She is living with her mother who separated from her father a long time ago. How much I know, her mother is not related to White family business."

Jeff confirmed Aiden's words. "Maybe she is Lukas' date.", he guessed.

"Boys, I am glad you made it.", Marcus greeted Jeff and Aiden. His sight was attracted to Sarah and JoAnna. "Lukas told me that you two came with female bodyguards. Sisters, right?"

Jeff responded with a faint nod.

"Lukas also told me that you don't want to share them.", Marcus said meaningfully.

"They are elites from Russia. It cost us a lot to get their loyalty. I don't want to risk losing it.", Jeff explained.

"I understand… And your wife does not mind you having these women by your side?", Marcus continued probing.

"My wife trusts me.", Jeff said and glanced at Tiffany. "Just how yours trusts you."

Marcus burst into laughter. He found this entertaining. It seems that Jeff is cheating on his newly acquired wife. Not bad. He always thought that Jeff is uptight, but now it seems that he has some vices as well.

While they talked, Kyra's eyes were glued to Jeff. She tried getting out of Lukas' hold, but he didn't let her. He told her that she can come, but only as his exclusive escort.

"It means that no one gets to touch you.", Lukas convinced her that it's a good idea.

Well, she knew that it's NOT a good idea, to try getting Jeff's attention while going as someone else's escort, but it was her only option, so she took it. She already paid for this entry with her body many times, so she will not let this chance go to waste. The evening is young. She will find a way to get out of Lukas' grasp and to approach Jeff.

Back to present…

"Enjoy the evening, we will talk to you later…", Marcus said with a big smile on his face and he walked away to greet other guests.

At nine o'clock, the MC was on the stage, to announce three guests with the most votes with whom others want to meet for dinner. Names were not surprising, the first two at least:

1. Marcus White

2. Jeffrey White

3. Ronald Collins

Ronald Collins is a businessman who is trying to go into politics. He is currently campaigning for a position of a governor.

They knew that Marcus and Jeffrey will be among top three, and JoAnna guessed that Mr. Collins paid Marcus to be the third one, so that he can get visibility which will improve his chances in the office. You can never have too many rich people in your network when you are collecting money for campaigning.

"At ten o'clock, auction will begin to find who will be the highest bidder to win a dinner with these popular individuals.", the MC announced. "Proceeds of the auction will be used to cover expenses of this event and the future ones!"

Sarah snorted while grumbling: "Yeah, it must cost a fortune to hire so many hostesses…"

Her mood improved slightly at the thought that she will have this property for herself. Soon. And she will transform this huge event hall into bedrooms that will be used for their kids when they stay here, and an indoor training ground.

Sarah and JoAnna exchanged glances when they noticed Tiffany leaving Marcus' side. It seems she is going to the restroom.

Sarah observed Marcus' bodyguards stationed at the door of the ladies' room. One was looking at the time. She later found out that hostesses can't be more than five minutes inside restroom, or the bodyguards will come to get them. But what got her attention is that with Eve-vision she could see that Marcus' men are armed. They have guns on them.

"Why is Tiffany Fortin accompanying Marcus White at a men-only event?", Sarah's question made Tiffany jolt.

Tiffany scrutinized Sarah and JoAnna. "Who are you?"

"We are associated with Whites. Not with Marcus, with the other ones.", JoAnna answered.

Tiffany understood. "Are you here to mock me?"

"Mock you? No.", JoAnna said. "But we want to know why you are here, and to offer you a way out… if you want one."

"A way out?", Tiffany asked apprehensively.

JoAnna confirmed. "We can do that. But it would require you to turn against your family."

Tiffany snorted. "They are against me. I either obey them or they will make me obey. Trust me, I know better than to go against their wishes. I want to know what you want and what are you offering me." She glanced at the door nervously. "Hurry up, I don't have much time…"

JoAnna summarized that they will help her avoid her 'duties' for tonight, and in exchange for data that she can get related to her family supporting Marcus, they will give her a new life.
