Chapter 1 - The Empty Living Room

The heavy wooden front door of the modern American luxury apartment swung open.

Kayla, a twenty-five-year-old aspiring influencer wearing a stylish white designer coat, stepped confidently into the foyer. She was dragging two enormous, heavy suitcases, expecting to walk into her beautiful, fully furnished new home with a sweeping city skyline view.

Instead, the smug, entitled smile instantly vanished from her face.

She stood absolutely paralyzed in shock as two burly, professional movers wearing navy blue work uniforms walked right past her, carrying a massive flat-screen TV directly out the front door.

"What the hell are you doing?" Kayla panicked, her voice shrill and high-pitched.

She dropped her heavy suitcases onto the expensive hardwood floor. Her blue eyes darted wildly around the massive apartment.

The beautiful, luxury home she had been promised was completely falling apart before her very eyes. The expensive rugs were gone. The designer coffee table was gone. The only thing left in the half-empty living room was a massive, incredibly expensive leather sectional sofa—and a third mover was already wrapping it in plastic.

Standing perfectly still in the center of the chaos was her older sister, Rachel.

Rachel was in her early thirties, wearing cozy white loungewear, her brunette wavy hair falling perfectly over her shoulders. She held a roll of clear packing tape in her hand. She looked at her panicking younger sister, completely, chillingly unfazed.

"Taking everything that belongs to me," Rachel stated, her voice calm and terrifyingly steady.
