I was born into danger, raised by violence, and have been running ever since.
It was only a selfless act of kindness from my best friend that saved my life, but this time, he isn’t here to save me.
This time I might not survive.
I’ve spent my life hiding from the ghosts of my past, clawing my way from nothing to graduating and landing my dream job as a senior security analyst with one of the largest financial firms in the city.
So I took the leap. I let myself believe that everything had finally changed, that the man I allowed myself to trust, my boss, saw something in me nobody else did.
I was wrong.
Dead wrong.
