Once through the gate, my heart rate began to ease, and my breathing evened out. “Fuck,” I shuddered knowing I just pulled off the heist of the century. My feet slowed down as my eyes searched for Bram and Twenty-Nine. “Is it done?” I jumped at the sound of Twenty-Nine's creepy-as-shit voice. My hand covered my heart. I was so amped up that I didn’t even hear him. I turned to face the strange man with grey skin and found Bram next to him. I smiled, holding up the bag. My eyes trained on Bram, “It’s done.” Relief filled Bram’s eyes and a slow smile crept up his face.

I gestured him forward, my eyes narrowing at his clenched jaw. He stepped closer, boots soft on the rug. “Boss, there was a train heist two days ago in Port Haven. It was brutal—four guards dead, crates of tech gear and ship manifests stolen. Feds are all over it, tying it to the missing FBI directors. They think it’s us.” My cigar froze halfway to my mouth. A heist in my territory, and I didn’t know? Port Haven was mine—every dock, every street, every fucking shadow answered to me.

But the proctor, the teachers, and even my classmates all swore they saw me handing my paper in early. My memories and reality split apart, like a mirror cracking down the middle. I refused to accept it. I filed appeal after appeal. Each time, nothing changed. Soon, my teachers' eyes were full of pity, and the police spoke to me with quiet helplessness. They began hinting that maybe the pressure had gotten to me and maybe I was imagining things. It wasn't until after I died that I finally learned the truth. It was her. It was Sierra and her Grade Heist System that had stolen everything.

"Hey baby got the diam-" "We have to go now Reno, now!" Jovie cried. "He knows!" "Babe whats wrong?" "Jasper...he knows! We have to go, he's gonna kill me!" "Jovie what did he do?" "It doesn't matter, Reno, I have the diamond, meet me at the bus station now!" "I'll be there." Jovie's POV This was the first time stealing actually made me a little nervous, even though this might be the easiest steal of my life.

“Now you’ve got me intrigued.” My lips curved faintly. “Intrigued?” “How does a thief know how to navigate corporate negotiations and contract presentations?” I let out a quiet laugh. “Just because I’m a thief doesn’t mean I’m dumb.” I continued, “If anything, thieves are some of the smartest people alive.” That earned a quiet laugh from him, low and unexpected. “Is that so?” “Of course,” I replied. “You think stealing is easy? One wrong move and everything falls apart. You learn to think ahead and read people before they read you.”

I hadn’t questioned a single word about Isaac swallowing a blade or her demand that I give up the surgery. Now that I thought about it, the entire situation was full of holes. How could two emergencies happen at the exact same time, and the only surgeon available just happened to be Dad? There was Jody who randomly appeared out of nowhere to stir things up, as well as the police who took people away without checking the facts. The fake cause of death for Isaac… how did he fake his death and disappear? These questions circled in my mind, each one more unsettling than the last. This couldn’t be a coincidence. Someone had carefully orchestrated all of this to trap me. There was no way my family

I set the bag on the kitchen counter and stared at it longer than necessary. This was not about betrayal, I told myself. This was about control. Later, Chris arrived, distracted as always. He ate dinner without comment, checked his phone, and announced another late night of work. I nodded. When he disappeared into his study, I carried the bag upstairs and placed it in my cupboard, under the jewellery section. Hidden. Private. Mine. I sat on the edge of the mattress afterward, hands folded in my lap, breathing slowly. I felt exposed, not physically, but emotionally, as if I had crossed a line I could not uncross.

When we reached the foyer, Maria was waiting. The two sisters stood three feet apart. The resemblance was no longer something Vincenzo had to manufacture with drugs and lighting. It was in the set of their jaws. The fire in their eyes. They were two halves of a storm that had finally converged. Maria held up the drive. “The Moreno Ledger. It’s all here. The bribes, the shells, the systematic theft.” Catrina’s lips curved in a dangerous, thin smile. “Nice work, sis.” Maria flicked a glance at me. “He got here just in time to play target practice with the foyer furniture.”
