Chapter 1 – Lock Every Door

Chapter 1 – Lock Every Door

The lobby falls silent after Nathaniel Graves orders every exit sealed. The receptionist assumes Ruby stole the wallet and secretly alerts the police. Nathaniel ignores everyone, kneels before Ruby, and asks about the bright pink eviction notice. Ruby innocently explains her mother is being forced out that afternoon because they are three months behind on rent. Nathaniel's expression changes from curiosity to alarm when he recognizes the landlord's company name.

Cliffhanger: Nathaniel whispers, "That address... impossible."
