Trina rolled her eyes. “Well, it worked out for us, didn’t it?” she said. “Imagine if you didn’t take after him and you were a short, brown-eyed redhead instead. This plan of yours wouldn’t work at allthen.”

I glanced at the clock on the opposite wall. “Speaking of our plan, I hope Adam’s nearly done with his part,” I said, brows furrowing. “It’s nearly half past seven, and I have to go and meet the Medusa girls by the side entrance atnine.”

Right on cue, Adam walked into Hunter’s bedroom. “Don’t worry, we’ve still got plenty of time,” he said. He held up a hand. “Anyway, I got the stuff. Dad’s signet ring and hisphone.”

He tossed them to Hunter, who raised a brow. “And he’sout?”

“Dead to the world in his closet,” Adam replied. “When he finally wakes up, he won’t have a clue whathappened.”

Trina snickered. “How did you pull thatoff?”

“I told him I needed to have a quick chat with him while the staff were setting up everything for the gala. There’s caterers and decorators running around everywhere, so I insisted we go into his room for privacy.” He pulled a small vial out of his pocket. “When we were on our way upstairs, I slipped some of this bad boy into hisdrink.”

“What did you give him?” Trina asked, brows knitting. “Are you sure it’ll keep himout?”

“Yup. I gave him a nice big dose ofGHB.”

“Where the hell did you getGHB?”

Adam’s lips curved up in a devious smirk. “You know David Burgin? The private investigator from Dad’scompany?”

I looked at Hunter, arching a brow. “I definitely knowofhim,” Isaid.

“Well, he’s not just a regular investigator. As well as being able to track down anyone in the world, he can also track down any drugs you want,” Adamsaid.

“How’d you find thatout?”

He rubbed his chin, lips twisting into a small grimace. “Mom told me. He used to get her pills when her doctor wouldn’t give her anymore.”

“Yikes.” Trina’s brows dipped in a frown. “At least it wasn’t hard for you to get, Iguess.”

“Yeah.” Adam nodded slowly. “Anyway, I should get back up there. I’m gonna hang out in his room all night to make sure he doesn’t wake up before we’re done witheverything.”

“And if hedoes?”

“I’ll put him out again. He’ll be so drowsy he won’t even know what’shappening.”

“Nice.” Trina turned to look at me. “Before Adam goes, can we run through the plan one more time? Just to make sure we haven’t missedanything.”

I nodded and slowly went through it with the three ofthem.

Earlier this week, Camila had instructed me to meet her and the other Medusa girls at the western entrance of the Connery residence at nine o’clock tonight. I had to wear the same shimmery white gown and gold wrap-around sandals that I’d worn at last week’s failed initiation, and I had to have my hair and makeup done aswell.

After I met them downstairs, they were going to escort me up to the secret party room on the top floor. Hunter was going to be waiting just around the corner, disguised as his own father, and when he saw us go into the old library that hid the entrance to the party room, he was going to wait a couple of minutes before walking inhimself.

He didn’t have a key to the first room, but that didn’t matter—I’d spent several hours over the last few days teaching him all my lock-picking tricks. He could do it in under three minutes now. There was also a chance that another member would show up at the same time as him, so he could just go in withthem.

Once we were all inside and the initiation ritual had begun, I was going to choose Hunter as my partner, and we were going to pretend to have sex on the throne in front of everyone. I was certain we would be able to get away with it, because I knew from witnessing Dayna’s initiation on the island that we weren’t expected to strip down for the ritual. The only thing Dayna took off before she jumped on her guy was herpanties.

I was going to do the same to make it look like I was definitely going to have sex with ‘Charles’, and my long gown would cover up Hunter’s lap and my whole bottom half so it wouldn’t be obvious to everyone that we were only faking it as I straddled him and pretended to ridehim.

I didn’t really want to do something so lurid in front of everyone, even if it was all fake, but there was no way around it. Ihadto look like I was having sex with a man on that throne in front of the society members who were in attendance. Otherwise they would never accept or trustme.

Once the initiation was over, I would finally be considered a full member. The society would have their ‘sex tape’, featuring me supposedly riding ‘Charles’ on the throne, and they’d think they had me under their thumb because of that, meaning they could drop their guard and do whatever they wanted in front ofme.

That meant I could freely wander the party as the masks started to come off, observing everything that went on withHunter.

We were going to capture everything that went on with a tiny button cam that we’d attached to one of Hunter’s suit pockets. The cam would wirelessly transmit a video back to Adam’s laptop, which he would monitor while he kept an eye on his unconsciousfather.
