Chapter 1 - The SafeThe steel vault clicked open.

Isabella's trembling hands shoved bundles of cash into a black designer bag.

"$300,000... he'll never notice."

She laughed under her breath.

Behind her...

A massive portrait of her mafia husband watched from the wall.

She never looked up.

Hidden inside one of the portrait's eyes—

A tiny camera blinked red.

Suddenly...

A deep male voice echoed through the room.

"Take the diamonds too."

Isabella froze.

Her heartbeat stopped.

She spun around.

Nobody.

The room was empty.

Silence.

Then the vault door slammed shut behind her.

BANG!

The electronic lock flashed.

LOCKDOWN ACTIVATED.

Her phone buzzed.

One message.
