“That’s why men should be taken by the balls to make them do your bidding. It’s all right. When this is all over we’ll get you an annulment. You’ll never have to fuck with him again.”

“Good,” Elena says, looking at me as she downs her champagne. “To be honest, I think he’s afraid of me. He’s afraid of what I could do if I was given free rein. And he probably should be. I mean, I did kill his brother right in front of him.” We both start laughing. What I wouldn’t give to have been there. That had to be fucking sick, in the best way.

We clink glasses together, even though hers is empty. Then, I lean in close to whisper in her ear so she knows exactly what’s going to go down here tonight.

“So, when the time comes, when you see us headed out, you need to get out too. Go your separate way, but you’ll see an address and room number for the hotel on your phone. Meet us there. Immediately. Don’t want you to get caught up in the aftermath here.”

Elena nods, looking around at the people of the party as if she is just surveying the crowd like everyone else. “We’ve got champagne and everything we need to celebrate. This is full-on independence.” I pass her the hotel key, and she nonchalantly tucks it into her bra.

“Where’s your sister?” she asks, smiling at one of the Clan members who passes by us. They don’t even look my way. Which both pisses me off and makes me feel better. Makes me feel like our disguises are working and that this plan is foolproof like we thought.

“She is just making sure you know what is in place. Don’t worry. This is going off without a hitch.”
