Allison's POV.

Billionaire and philanthropist Benjamin Harrington was known for his extravagant events, and tonight's masked party was no exception.

Harrington, a man in his late fifties with a distinguished presence and a reputation for his vast collection of rare diamonds, had recently been living in fear. He had reached out to Viktoh, my boss, with a plea for help.

This diamond, known as the "Star of Harrington," was worth millions of dollars.
