FATES GAMES

Happiness isn't meant for people like us. Not after what we've done, and certainly not after what's been done to us. Happiness is a cruel joke, reserved for the "normal" people who fake being fine. The ones who still believe in clean slates and second chances.

Esme learned a long time ago to stop looking for things like happiness, love, or even hope. She's seen enough heartbreak, enough loss-much of it, she believes, her own fault. So now, she has two simple goals: get through the day, and survive the night. Rinse and repeat.

But everything changes the night her roommate drags her out for "a little fun." Fun, as it turns out, comes with a price. Because that night, on her knees in a crowded room, Esme meets her new reality: two men who look at happiness like the ultimate punchline. Two men who have laughed in the face of their own ruin.

They're jaded, twisted, and dangerous. They've spent years playing games with life and each other, bending reality to their own rules. But when Esme stumbles into their world, something shifts. The jokes lose their humor. The games start feeling like something more.

Now, fate has thrown them all into the same room. One broken woman on her knees. One soulless man with a gun in his hand. And one empty-eyed man who thought he could control it all.

What comes next? Fate's cruelest game yet.
