Guilt’s Ascent

From the dim stairwells of Lowmarsh Housing Projects, Aidan Voss clawed his way into the blinding opulence of Meridian Interactive, a social-casino empire built on virtual chips and real human ruin. Armed with a chilling understanding of behavioral psychology, he engineered a system that turned hope into a recurring payment. But when a single mother’s class-action lawsuit threatens to expose the fraud beneath the velvet, Aidan must navigate a labyrinth of corporate betrayal, buried evidence, and his own calcified conscience—where every rung he climbed becomes a gallows step in a trial that will redefine the boundary between entertainment and exploitation.
