The diamond - 1

Sam opened her eyes and saw the room filled with smog. As the lights fell on

her, she saw the hall filled with an audience. Sam just had a single goal in her mind, the diamond

placed in the middle of the stage for the display. She wondered when will the lights be off. I must

get the diamond today, no matter what. As she waited for the light to go off, her thoughts wandered.

About 16 hours ago, Sam was at her home practicing for the stage performance for the anniversary of the top business group.

In an instant, a group of people barged in and took over the house, keeping every member of her

family a hostage. They looked like goons and waited for someone to give them orders. A man in a suit came inside, saying hello as if invited by the family. He smiled at everyone and forwarded his

hand towards Sam for a handshake. Sam trembled after seeing him. It was never in her mind that the man who had told her to steal the diamond from the anniversary function would appear at her home as he had said after she refused to obey his orders. She asked him what do you want? He said you know very well want I want. I will never do it, she replied in haste. He said I have already poisoned you, and you only have 24 hours to live. Even then, you refuse? She said yes, and now please leave. Do you think I came all the way here to hear that reply? he asked with a smirk. She asked what? If you don't value your life, no problem, but you will care about your family's life,

right? If you want to save them, you have only 24 hours left now. Will you accept my order? He

said. She wished to resist, but she couldn't risk her family's life like hers. Anyway only have 24

hours to live, and I have to use it for my family, she thought and nodded yes to him. He said that's

better, and until you finish the mission, we will wait for you here. As she heard the sound of the

claps, Sam came to her senses and stood on the stage where she had to take the diamond. She

prayed to keep her family safe. It was time for their team's performance, and everyone was waiting nervously, but Sam could only see the diamond on the stage and her family in her mind. They went to perform, and after the performance, the lights went off, and Sam thought it was the best chance and hurried towards the diamond stand and exchanged the diamond with a fake one that she was carrying on one of her accessories of the costume. Sam then hurried off the stage and toward the exit with the team. Seeing the light outside the door as she ran, she knew she had to reach it to save her family.
