THE QUEEN PIECE

A Why-Choose Murder mystery, psychopath Romance: A mafia murder mystery and thriller

To Isabella, everyone was just another piece on her chessboard. From the first move to the final play, she wields control with cold precision, letting no piece, no matter how powerful, slip from her grasp. The game she plays isn't one of love or loyalty; it's one of secrets, blood, and chaos. Murder and mayhem are not obstacles; they are the rules. And somehow, for Isabella, it is all terribly, intoxicatingly fun.

The first rule of chess is simple: "The player with the white pieces moves first." The opening move is never trivial; it reveals the player, their intent, and their weakness. Every decision, every flicker of hesitation, tells the story of the opponent before the battle even begins. For Isabella, that is the one immutable truth: understanding the first move means knowing who will survive, who will fall, and who is already doomed.

This is a game played by psychopaths. A game where every secret can be exposed, every betrayal counted, and every life reduced to a single, strategic maneuver. And for Isabella, it is the kind of game where the stakes are higher than most could endure and where only the queen truly matters.
