This idea had been simmering in Sonya''s mind for ages, but she never had the guts to act on it. Every time Ada showed off her pricey jewelry, the thought would whirl around in Sonya''s head like a wild tornado. Now that ra had mentioned it, it was as if Pandora''s box had been flung wide open.


    "ra, how do you know Michael will take the bait?" Sonya asked.


    Michael was Ada''s husband and Simon''s dad. ra pulled a tiny bottle from her bag. "Ever heard of the honey trap? It''s a favorite in certain circles. There''s this ce called Moonlight that folks love. I can sneak you in, and you just slip this into Michael''s drink. When he wakes up and finds you there, it''ll be toote. Or you could take it further. Michael''s never been the faithful type; he''s got a few side flings."


    Ada knew just what to reveal and what to keep under wraps. How could a man who was already unfaithful resist temptation? Ada''s savvy helped her keep her position firm. Simon was all grown up and Michael''s father Walter was watching over things, so Michael couldn''t afford to let his affairs go public.


    ra''s words were so convincing that Sonya was buzzing with excitement as she took the bottle and tucked it away in her purse. "ra, you''d better keep your promise."


    ra smirked a little, getting up from her chair. "Tonight, we make our move."


    Sonya struggled to keep her excitement in check, taking a deep breath. "Alright, I''ll wait for your cue."


    Sonya was the first to leave. ra sat for another half hour before heading out, only to bump into Ada at the café entrance.


    Ada''s face turned stormy. "ra?"


    The two had fallen outpletely, and ra couldn''t be bothered with pretense. She was ready to walk away.


    Ada was fuming. "ra, you''re set to marry Nate. Don''t you know how to show some respect for your elders?"


    ra turned back, her tone icy. "Did that cold water not bring you to your senses? Who are you to decide my marriage?"


    Thest time Ada had heard such words was when she was ying the other woman. Once people hit the big time, they don''t fancy recalling their murky past, especially if it was shameful. ra''s defiancended right where it hurt Ada the most.


    "In a few days, you''ll see whether I can decide your marriage," Ada retorted.


    ra''s lips curled into a smile. "In a few days, you''ll have bigger fish to fry than worrying about my marriage."


    Ada didn''t catch the deeper meaning and just scoffed, hinting she was done with the conversation. After ra left, Ada called up her brother, Nate. "Nate, when ra bes your wife, make sure youy down thew from day one."


    "Don''t you worry. I''ll make sure she toes the line," Nate assured her.


    Nate bragged to everyone about ra being his future wife and even invited his buddy Colton to join in the fun. "Once I''m done with her, feel free to have your turn," he said. But Colton wasn''t interested; his heart belonged to Quinn.


    That night, ra thought about asking Megan to help get Sonya inside Moonlight. She was her only hope. Megan hesitated over the phone, and ra didn''t want to pressure her. After hanging up, she was at a loss about who else to turn to. Her fingers hovered over her phone andnded on Dn''s name.


    By sheer luck, Dn messaged her right then with a location pin. It was Moonlight.


    ra''s eyes lit up, and she quickly replied: [On my way.]


    She figured Dn had maybe had a few too many at a business meet, and with Aiden unavable, she could step in. She immediately called Sonya to join her. Moonlight was a members-only club. ra was a member, but her reputation was so notorious that every time she went, she would cause a scene, making it impossible for her to bring a guest.
