[Bonus Chapter] A True Genius

"It's finally over," I sighed with relief as I settled into my chair. I had instructed Elaine to hide under the bed just in case my plan took an unexpected turn, but everything had gone exactly as I had intended.

I bet everything on the slight chance that her gangster boyfriend might make a drastic move against me.
