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.

The Obsidian Heist Chapter 1 Character Introduction

THE MASTERMINDS

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.

Anya Petrova

The Architect

Late thirties. She is effortlessly cool, precise, and highly analytical. Anya views the heist as the ultimate math problem and Elias as a necessary, amusing complication.

THE SPECIALISTS (THE EIGHT)

1. The Spider

Lena Hayes

Technical Hacking | Bypassing the network security and electronic locks. Young, cynical, and exists mostly on energy drinks. Anya's choice. She is tough but privately vulnerable, finding an unexpected connection with Zane during training.

2. The Runner

Zane "Zip" Miller

Utility and Courier | Moving the diamonds from the vault to the extraction point in seconds. The youngest and fastest. Eager to prove himself to the veterans, making him reckless. Anya's choice. He is impulsive and brave, viewing Lena's intellect as a source of protection and admiration.

3. The Ghost

Silas Thorne

Infiltration | Getting inside the museum undetected to set up the lines of access. Tall, silent, and pathologically obsessive about stealth.

4. The Mute

Kael Rostov

Safecracking | Opening the titanium Guardian Vault by feel and sound alone. Old school and entirely focused. He never speaks.

5. The Switch

Valerie "Val" Diaz

Misdirection | Creating the highly coordinated, explosive diversion miles away. Charming, vain, and loves the spotlight of chaos.

6. The Wheel

Marco "Wheels" Rossi

Extraction Driver | Executing the perfect high speed getaway and managing escape routes. Calmest when driving at insane speeds.

7. The Cleaner

Dr. Evelyn Shaw

Forensics Disposal | Ensuring no trace of the crew or their tools is left at the scene. Highly disciplined, paranoid, and meticulous.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
