The room in the upscale hotel where Emily and Jack had been discussing their future plans felt suddenly still, the air thick with tension. Emily sat upright, her attention caught by the sudden flash of breaking news on the TV screen. She reached for the remote to turn up the volume, her eyes widening as she processed what she was seeing.
The anchor spoke in a grave tone, "In a shocking development, Isabelle Thomas, former wife of business tycoon John Thomas and her accomplice, Ella, are now wanted fugitives. The two women are accused of stealing millions of dollars from John Thomas and fleeing the city in a stolen vehicle. The police are actively searching for the pair and anyone with information on their whereabouts is urged to contact authorities immediately."
