The Million-Dollar Heart

Vivienne paused for a moment, diligently racking her brain for any loopholes in the intricate scheme laid out before her. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She sprang to her feet and strode towards the door, bumping into Felix as she passed

“Watch out” Percival said while holding her hand

Feliz’s gaze briefly lingered on their intertwined hands before he nodded in apology and continued on his path.

She discovered that the woman had previously installed a hidden camera in the room to catch her husband cheating. With this information in mind, Vivienne quickly dialed Matthew.

Being the efficient man he was, Matthew had the news circulated within half an hour. The internet was ablaze with discussions about the hidden camera found in the room where the
