Ace The Wager (TO BE PUBLISHED)

[DECK OF CARDS # 1]

Defending him meant signing her death certificate.

Siobhan Thiago never wanted to be involved in anything that doesn't concern her. She was never socially active nor woke. Politics and business did not concern her since she was focused on her own well-being.

But when Hajiro Klijster Romero came barging into her life, spinning it around a perfect 360° to help her see the cruelty behind their privileged blindfolds, she slowly realized how messed up the world is and it needs more people who are willing to make it better.

For months, she was directionless, until everything fell into the right places. Every passing day was a moment closer to her goal which is helping the afflicted.
