Chapter 5 - The Security Camera Showed Someone Entering My Apartment—but the Face Belonged to a Man Alexander Trusted With His LifeMarco discovered the footage.
A man entered my apartment at 2:13 a.m.
He wore a hood.
But the walk was recognizable.
It was Victor Hale.
Alexander's chief financial officer.
His oldest friend.
Alexander refused to believe it.
"Victor wouldn't betray me."
Marco disagreed.
"We have evidence."
Alexander looked at me.
"What did he take?"
"My grandmother's necklace."
I had never told anyone about it.
The necklace contained a tiny hidden compartment.
Inside was a key.
A key to a safe deposit box.
Victor wanted it.

Ryan wanted it.
And someone else wanted it even more.
