BETRAYAL
By Hani Hannachi
In a world driven by money and influence, a massive financial scandal erupts inside the stock exchange, exposing a tangled web of corruption linking businessmen, politicians, and even the justice system. As chaos spreads, multiple players step in, each with their own agenda: some trying to reveal the truth, others desperate to bury it, and a few ready to profit from the fallout.
Nermin and Eric suddenly find themselves pulled into something far bigger than they expected when they uncover secrets powerful enough to shift the balance. The problem is, every move they make toward the truth brings them closer to danger… because in this world, trust is rare, and everyone has a price.
The story dives into the conflict between greed and conscience, where the line between victim and villain starts to blur, and roles constantly shift.
