Two hundred fifty million dollars of vengeance. Elias Vance, the former Chief Security Consultant for the Grand Metropolitan Museum, was framed and publicly ruined by his greedy superior. Now, stripped of his reputation and drowning in rage, he seeks the ultimate revenge: stealing the Obsidian Collection, a cluster of flawless black diamonds valued at $250 million. To pull off the impossible, Elias is forced to partner with Anya Petrova, an ice cold logistical mastermind who runs the criminal underworld's tightest operation. Anya finds Elias's desperate formality hilarious, but his architectural genius undeniable. Their four month planning period is a tense, comedic dance of mutual distrust and professional admiration. Anya recruits The Eight, a crew of specialists ranging from a cynical hacker to an old school safecracker. As the team trains to bypass the museum's impossible security systems, they are a chaos of clashing egos and unpredictable behavior. When an unexpected security upgrade threatens to derail the entire six month plan, Elias and Anya must risk everything on the knowledge that the greatest flaw in any system is always the human element. The heist isn't just about the diamonds. It's about vengeance, professional validation, and the secret love story unfolding in the shadows of the biggest theft in history.

Chapter 1 Character Introduction

Elias Vance

The Inside Man

Mid forties. Brilliant, highly meticulous, and prone to awkward formality. His intelligence is absolute, but his social skills are nonexistent. His revenge is the only thing keeping him focused.

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
