prologue

Authors POV

Joseph sat alone in the dimly lit room, the faint scent of cigarette smoke lingering in the air. He stared at the dossier spread out in front of him, the photographs and documents a testament to his double life. As a skilled operative in both special forces and the mafia, he had become accustomed to the darkness that permeated his existence.
His motivation for venturing into this treacherous underworld was simple - to dismantle law enforcement from within. Joseph had seen firsthand the corruption that plagued the system, the way in which those who were meant to uphold justice often succumbed to the allure of power and money. It disgusted him, fueled his desire to bring down those who had tainted the badge.
But tonight, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, his focus shifted. Briana's face flashed across his mind, her determination and anger etched deep within his memory. She had lost her parents to a ruthless act committed by the very criminal organization Joseph was now a part of. He couldn't help but be drawn to her, to the fire that burned within her as she rose through the ranks of narcotics enforcement.
For a moment, Joseph allowed himself to wonder what it would be like to meet her, to tell her the truth about his dual allegiance. But he quickly dismissed the thought. The danger was too great, the consequences too dire. In this game of shadows and allegiances, there was no room for personal connections.
As he prepared to leave the room, determination filled his eyes. Joseph knew the path he had chosen was risky, but he was prepared to face the consequences. He would continue to walk the thin line between duty and personal vendettas, between justice and revenge.
The world he lived in was filled with blurred lines, where loyalty could easily turn into betrayal, and trust was a precious commodity. Joseph would need to confront his own demons, to question his own motivations, if he wanted to make a difference. But as he stepped out into the night, he knew one thing for certain - the foundations of this corrupt world were starting to crumble, and he was determined to be the one to bring them down.
Joseph disappeared into the darkened streets, a lone figure in a city governed by crime and corruption. And as the shadows embraced him, he couldn't help but wonder when his path would finally cross with Briana's, and what the collision of their desires would bring.
