Chapter 1

Nicole moves into the apartment next door. Will her desire to possess beautiful things extend to Waverly?

It was a simple procedure, release the painting from its frame, roll it carefully in the lambswool blanket, pop it in the tube. Nicole had done this countless times. It was becoming boring, to the point where she almost wanted to etch her name on one of the paintings, like Banksy. Having 'Haught' scrawled on a multi-million dollar piece of art, however, would devalue it. Deciding she preferred notes, money rather than notoriety, she chose not to vandalise the latest painting she was stealing.
