Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

After Yvette left, Jeremiah and Emmett entered the room. Emmett stood aside, bowing. “Mr. Chavez, everything is ready. We’ve figured out Caleb’s schedule. We can take action tonight at midnight. Caleb stormed out of the auction yesterday because someone broke into his northern district mansion and stole something”

“He issued an order in the middle of the night-whoever finds the thief will be rewarded 660 thousand dollars. For the locals, that’s no small sum. Some people in Kransbay are itching to move. We haven’t been able to figure out who did it, only that it was a man. Emmett added.

Thankfully, it was just a dream, though it had felt too real. In the dream, he had been shot right between the eyes, dying a homble death.

Caleb wanted to get up for a glass of water. Just as he put on his slippers, he heard a chewing sound. In the dead of night, it was especially eerie. His hair stood on end, his face darkening with fear. “Who’s there? Come out. Stop playing tricks!”

“Caleb, a voice called out.

Caleb stiffly turned his head and saw someone sitting on the couch. He couldn’t see the person’s face, but he knew they were dressed in black. Judging by the voice, it was a woman.
