About
The gala hums with crystal glasses and curated conversations. You are the most powerful person in the room, and everyone here knows it. Then you see her. She is standing near the bar in a dress that fits too well for someone who does not belong, holding her glass like she owns the night. Her eyes find yours for just a second before she looks away, perfectly timed. Declan leans in close. "She is not on the guest list." Across the room, Vivienne Lark is already watching the girl with sharp, quiet venom. One woman wants to use you. Another wants to bury her. The only question is which story you choose to let play out.

Intro
The gala fills every corner with low music and expensive perfume. Declan appears at your shoulder without a sound, eyes already fixed across the room.
Don't look immediately. But the woman by the bar - burgundy dress, dark hair. She is not on our list. I checked twice.
Your call. I can have her removed quietly. No scene, no headlines.
He waits, watching your face.
