"Marcus! Marcus!?" Panic settled in as the alarms started blaring and Marcus was nowhere in sight. The mansion that had been mapped out so clearly now felt like a labyrinth as I wandered around desperately searching for the man who had promised me a quick and easy way to make money. Flashes of red blinded me, this wasn't quick, nor was it easy.
"Marcus!" My shouts were muffled by the screeching of the alarms. I could hear the sirens in the distance getting louder, and if I didn't get out of here soon, it wouldn't matter if I found Marcus or not.
Walking further into the mansion, I found a door slightly ajar. Maybe Marcus was hiding in there?
Stepping inside the room, I gasped when I saw a figure who wasn't Marcus standing directly in front of me.
"Well, well, well, who do we have here."

Brooke didn't know what she was getting herself into. Maple street was known for its rich occupants, but that's all they were to her. Rich. At least that's what Marcus had told her. She definitively wasn't expecting to meet Natasha, one of the most powerful women in the country. Especially not while she was in the middle of robbing her home. She only intended to rob her house, not steal her heart.
