Allison's POV
It was a lazy Saturday morning, and I decided to blend into the world of the elite, just for the day. Dressed casually in a chic pair of jeans and a fitted blouse, I headed to one of the most exclusive boutiques in town. My purpose today wasn't just to shop, but to find the betrayer, Jessica.
After seeing Williams, it hadn’t taken long for my old instincts to kick in. With Mia’s help—Mia, my loyal friend and fellow agent who had always had my back—we’d tracked Jessica down. Mia had hacked into the city’s camera network, observing Jessica and her convoy of cars driving out of their mansion and heading for a shopping spree.
Mia was a tech genius. Ever since our early days in the agency, she’d been my eyes in the digital world, her hacking skills unparalleled. When I decided to come back to this city, she was the first person I contacted. Her loyalty and expertise were invaluable, especially now.
Entering the boutique, I spotted her immediately. Jessica was flaunting her new status, her guards struggling with heaps of shopping bags. It was almost laughable. She looked like a parody of the rich and powerful. I smirked, the sight of her almost too much to bear.
As I made my way through the boutique, I walked past her, our shoulders almost brushing. She didn’t even spare me a glance, too absorbed in her frivolous purchases. Her ignorance was amusing. Here she was, living a life of luxury, completely unaware of the storm brewing around her.
I smirked again, feeling the satisfaction of being unnoticed yet completely in control. This was just the beginning. My plan was only in its early stages, and seeing Jessica so oblivious only fueled my hate. Soon, she would realize that the past wasn’t as buried as she thought.
But for now, I continued shopping, blending seamlessly into the crowd, my mind already plotting the next steps. Today was just the start.
