Recap:

No matter what though, I've got my mindset going. I'm not going to be weak in front of him. I have to endure it. It's what will rev the engine and have the wheels going. I'm going to seduce him.

"What do you think?" I ask Cillian. My blood red gown cascaded down my body and flowed around me as I twirled. My black stilettos. My makeup was down simply with just a dab of powder and red lipstick to match.

"You look gorgeous, princess. As always I might add." Cillian says, but for some reason the vibe I'm getting from him is different. Before I can say anything back, my mother and father come down and see us standing by the doorway.

"Oh, dear. You look stunning," my mother praises. I look towards my father, but he doesn't meet my gaze. I guess he's still embarrassed about what happened yesterday. I smile at my mother in response, before Cillian and I leave saying our goodbyes.

Apparently, Julia only wanted the young adults to be at her party tonight, though there will be a large gathering later this week with the whole society to celebrate her birthday. We reach the large mansion and realize the party has already started. Everyone is dressed elegantly and formally, but majority of them are acting as if they were still in a high school. I shake my head.

"Are you ready?" Cillian asks me, peering down at me. "As ready as I'll ever be." I let out a breath as we both head towards the tall open doors of the house.

As we walked towards them, I noticed Julia tense, as she held onto Mason's arm. "Lovely evening, isn't it?" I say with a smirk. "I would've arrived earlier, but I felt the need to dress my best tonight, after all, it is your birthday Julia." I look up at Cillian to see him staring back at me.

I felt eyes on me and from my peripheral vision, I could see Mason staring at me. Lust flows through my body without permission, and I suddenly feel the need to walk towards him, push Julia away, grab the back of his neck and crash my lips against his. I knew that I shouldn't and that, that'll go against what we planned, but I couldn't help it. The need was so strong, but I remind myself of what happened that night, and I get on track. Let's add some action right now, shall we?

I smile at Cillian which he returns back. He looks down and grabs my hand then squeezes it. I smile wider. His eyes gives a look that says our plan is working by doing just that. I could feel both their gazes on us; daggers they might as well be.

As I was about to reach up to move some hair away from his forehead, Julia interrupts, stopping me midway from reaching. "Well, I suppose I should say, 'thank you for making it', but as of right now I wished you didn't," she says looking down at her own dress, while smoothing it out with her free hand. "And as for your friend, I don't recall ever sending an invite to him." I look back again to Cillian and see a flash of hurt in his eyes that quickly vanishes right after. I know what she said just hurt him, so I decide that it's time to go inside.

"He's my plus one tonight, now if you excuse us, we'd like to enjoy the party." Cillian takes this as a cue and wraps his arm around my waiste as we walk through the doors that led to the ballroom.

We brush pass them and immediately, music hits us, and we end up just going to the bar at the corner of the room. Cillian leads me through the crowd, getting bumped into by people. Finally, we make it and ask for two shots of tequila to get the night started.

"How do you think we did?" I ask. He shrugs looking down at the tequila. "Stop thinking about what she said, she only said that because she was getting jealous. We're on the right path, just wait and see." He smiles back and nods, tilting his head back as he downs the shot of tequila. I turn my head, and I see the couple walking through the doors. I grin. Tonight is going to be fun.
