Chapter 1 - The Exploding Yacht

The luxury American marina was a cinematic masterpiece of elite wealth and bright, beautiful sunshine. Sparkling blue water reflected off the pristine coastal stone balustrade. A massive, multi-million-dollar mega-yacht bobbed gently at the end of the private dock, fully prepped and waiting for its owner.
But suddenly, the tranquil, sunny atmosphere violently shattered.
With a deafening, earth-shattering roar, the massive mega-yacht erupted in a violent explosion. The pristine white hull was instantly blown apart, sending a shockwave of heat and force across the marina. Thick, suffocating black smoke billowed high into the blue sky.
Standing on the stone promenade, just fifty yards away from the blazing inferno, was Adrian Moretti. He was a fiercely handsome man in his late thirties, wearing a sharp black shirt and a tailored suit. He was the most feared, untouchable mafia boss in the city.
He had been exactly sixty seconds away from boarding that yacht with his entire family.
But he hadn't boarded. Because a five-year-old girl had stopped him.
Little Elsie, wearing a beautiful pink lace dress and a pink bow in her sandy blonde hair, stood bravely next to the towering mafia boss. She wasn't crying from the loud noise. She was urgently pointing her small finger directly at the burning disaster.
