The lavish gifts, the constant travels…something didn’t quite mesh with the "freelance writer" job that Susan claimed. Her friend, Emily, was concerned, but Susan dismissed her fears. Now, Emily felt a constant unease whenever Susan was around.

She had started checking Susan’s social media, looking for clues. Today, a post caught her attention. A picture of a luxury villa in a foreign country, a caption that spoke of business deals and high-stakes meetings. Emily felt a knot of dread tighten in her chest.

Her hands shook as she opened a browser and began to search, the words “luxury villa” and “business meetings” filling the screen. The results were not what she expected.
