Daniel's telephone rang boisterously, interfering with his viewpoints. When he answered the phone, the other person started yelling and making fun of him.

"You vain fool! You haven't taken care of me my cash yet, have you? If you don't pay up soon, I'll use the police to arrest you, do you hear me?"

The lady on the opposite stopping point proceeded to cause a ruckus, her words cutting profound into Daniel's as of now frayed nerves. He realized he needed to figure out how to repay her, yet he didn't have the means.

Daniel sat there, feeling helpless and defeated as the call came to an end. He knew that the main way out of neediness was to face challenges, however at what cost? He pondered Jim's deal and the chance of a superior life. It might have been the right time to accept the offer.

Daniel picked up the phone and called Jim's number with a heavy heart.

"Jim, I've chosen to take your deal," he said, his voice scarcely over a murmur.

There was an interruption on the opposite end before Jim made some noise.

"Well done, Daniel. Meet me at my place around early afternoon, and I'll give you the subtleties." Daniel felt a positive feeling wash over him as he hung up the telephone.

Daniel took a full breath, attempting to ward off the apprehension that took steps to overpower him. He needed to be prepared for the fact that the next action he would take would have a significant impact on his life.

He got to Jim's house right on time at noon. He was greeted by a group of people with varying facial expressions as soon as he entered.

While some of them appeared exuberant and others nervous, they all shared one thing in common: They came to try something new.

Jim moved for everyone to gather around and stepped forward. I appreciate everyone's presence today. We are here for one reason, as you are all aware: to make positive changes in our lives."

He then went on to describe the particulars of a mansion that belonged to a very wealthy man who was well-known for his wealth. The gathering listened eagerly as Jim made sense of his arrangement. They were supposed to get out of the mansion before the security guards arrived and steal some of the valuables inside.

What Daniel was hearing was beyond belief. The risks seemed too great for something like this that he had never attempted before. However, he had made significant progress to withdraw now.

He realized that this was his chance to get out of poverty for good as he listened to Jim's plan. Even though it appeared to be terrifying, he was aware that he had to leap.

Daniel nodded to Jim with a determined expression, indicating that he was ready to begin.

Each member of the group prepared for the heist of a lifetime as the group split up. They cleared their path through the city, remaining in the shadows, and trying not to pry eyes.

Daniel felt his chest tighten as the group got closer to the mansion. This was it, he was aware. This was the second that would change his life until the end of time.

After taking a deep breath and concentrating, he entered the mansion.

They couldn't help but feel like characters in a heist movie as Daniel and the others slowly weaved their way through the mansion. To avoid any potential trouble that might be lurking around the corner, they kept close to the walls.

They finally reached the room where the gold was kept after a few minutes of navigating the mansion's maze-like corridors. It was a huge room with shelves lined with a lot of pure gold blocks.

As soon as Daniel and the others realized they could carry as many gold blocks in their bags, they got to work. If they wanted to escape the mansion without being discovered, they were aware that they needed to move quickly.

Jim abruptly came to a halt as they hurried about, each greedily grabbing more and more gold.

He pleaded with Daniel to "help me," pointing to a small object on the ground. I need it to complete my collection because it fell into the safe."

Daniel rushed back into the room to assist Jim despite his better judgment. Notwithstanding, in his scurry, he unintentionally set off the manor's caution, making the police and the watchmen aware of their presence.

Unexpectedly, in practically no time, the house was amassing with policing. DANIEL was caught, "Don't move! " Torches were pointed at Daniel's face as a voice yelled.

In that short second, Daniel got a brief look at a recognizable face among the turmoil. He didn't realize until it was too late that the man he had seen earlier that day had asked him about his watch.

He felt a sense of regret and despair overtake him as he was dragged out of the mansion in handcuffs. How is it that he could fall with such ease into the snare? He couldn't stop thinking about the many different things that could go wrong with him now that his life was in disarray.

A figure standing in front of the mansion a few meters away was talking on the phone to a stranger about Daniel's capture and demanding yet another payment to ensure the operation's success. It immediately turned out to be certain that this shadowy individual was the genuine genius behind the heist from the start, calling the shots and controlling individuals like Daniel from a far distance.

In full awareness of his success, the stranger smiles slyly at the end of the call and leaves no trace of his involvement in the heist.practically no time, the house was amassing with policing.

Little did he know, the gravity of his mistake only dawned on Daniel when it was already too late. The encounter earlier that day, where a man had casually inquired about his watch, now revealed its sinister purpose. Regret and despair engulfed him, like a relentless tidal wave crashing upon his soul. He felt utterly trapped as they yanked him out of the grand mansion, his wrists painfully restrained by icy metal handcuffs. He felt the heavy burden of his own poor choices and naivety pressing upon him, squeezing the life out of his hope and leaving him desperate for a breath of relief. The question echoed relentlessly in his mind: How had he allowed himself to stumble so easily into this deceitful trap? The answers remained elusive, mocking his once-sharp intellect and shrouding his thoughts in a suffocating fog of self-doubt. Thoughts of the uncertain and chaotic future plagued his mind, as he contemplated the myriad of possible outcomes awaiting him in this turbulent and disordered chapter of his life. .
