Silent Betrayal

<p>My life wasn't supposed to involve secret ledgers shadowy figures or a smirking troublemaker named Roarke who's equal parts aggravating and intriguing. I had plans-normal plans. You know the kind that don't involve wandering into abandoned warehouses at three in the morning or facing off with people who think loyalty is just another currency to be spent. But here I am caught between a dangerous game Roarke swears he's got under control (spoiler: he doesn't) and the allure of answers I'm not sure I want to hear. The ledger holds the truth they say-secrets that could unravel everything and everyone I thought I knew. Now the stakes aren't just high; they're life or death. But the real question? Who do you trust when even your own instincts might betray you? Dive into my world where the lines between friend and foe blur and nothing is as it seems. Let's just hope I survive long enough to make sense of it all.</p>
