Title of the novel: Shadows Play Summary: In a city plagued by corruption, organized crime, and political ambitions, Fabrice, a discreet young man, finds himself caught in a dangerous web woven by Vital, a shadowy figure in the service of power... but mostly of himself. The latter entrusts Fabrice with a strange mission: to kidnap a young woman, Nina, without harming her. Fabrice agrees, unaware that she is the daughter of a high-ranking political advisor, Nathan N'Dongo, and that her disappearance will put the city on high alert. Torn between his loyalty, his criminal past, and his promise to his mother to remain honest, Fabrice will gradually understand that what he believed to be a simple "contract" conceals a vast conspiracy involving trafficking, betrayals, and personal ambitions. In the midst of this chaos, Fabrice must choose: to become an accomplice... or to break the chain of silence. Amid tensions, manipulations, and revelations, Shadows Play is a gripping thriller where heroes are rarely who we think they are.

Nevertheless, I mustered all my courage and bravely told her that I had fallen for her. To my surprise, she agreed to be my girlfriend. With the sweetest smile I had ever seen, she told me that she wanted my first gift for her to be the latest and top-of-the-line iPhone. I worked like a dog and even did my classmates’ laundry to save up. My hard work eventually paid off after a month. I finally got to buy what she wanted. But as I was wrapping my gift, I saw her in the dressing room, making out with the captain of the basketball team. She then heartlessly made fun of my inadequacy and made a fool out of me.

Desperation washed over me, but there was nothing I could do but lie on the floor as they trampled on my feelings. But then, my father called me out of the blue, and my life turned upside down.
