This is not your usual mafia story.
Here, loyalty is a fragile illusion, and betrayal hides in plain sight.
Some events in this tale may echo the stark realities of our world, where the lines between right and wrong blur amidst chaos. In this ruthless underworld, trust is a currency that loses value with every whispered secret.
Welcome to a realm where survival depends on navigating a web of deception, and every choice could be your last.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This book isn't for everyone—especially not for minors.
It tackles some heavy, difficult themes all the way through, with little room to breathe.
If you're hoping for something light or uplifting, this might not be the right read.
I just want to give you a heads-up: some parts may feel overwhelming or hit harder than expected.
Take care while reading, and don't be afraid to step away if it gets too much.
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
