Duterte083
When enigmatic art thief Caius Wolfe steals a rare 17th-century painting, he expects a massive payday-not a cryptic symbol hidden beneath the paint. He turns to Eliora Vance, an introverted but fiercely intelligent museum curator, the only expert who can decode the markings. But Eliora has her own stake in the game: the painting belonged to her late mentor, and she wants it back.
As the two clash, flirt, and begrudgingly team up, they uncover a shocking truth-the symbols lead to a secret vault containing the original Mona Lisa, long believed to have been switched with a replica. But there's a catch: it's locked inside a billionaire's fortress-like estate, guarded by the latest tech and an army of private security.
To steal back the real Mona Lisa, Caius and Eliora must outsmart Interpol, outmaneuver a ruthless black-market dealer, and outwit each other's growing feelings. But when the truth about the painting's origins is revealed, it will change everything-including what they think they know about love, loyalty, and their own pasts.
Because Caius isn't just any art thief-he's the long-lost heir of the billionaire they're robbing.
