    Sometimes, a girl’s first enemy isn’t the world, it’s her own mother. The verbal jabs, the mental manipulation, the physical torment—each blow chips away at a young girl’s sense of worth, until there's nothing left but silence and survival. That was Aria’s reality. A life of emotional warfare that left her feeling invisible, unloved, and broken. But everything shifted when she tasted the sweetness of Gucci’s love. 
      
    Gucci and his mother, Kalonda, stepped in like light through a cracked door, rescuing Aria from the shadows of her past. They didn’t just pull her out; they nurtured her into her “soft girl” era, showing her what love, safety, and softness could feel like. For the first time, she belonged. She bloomed. 
      
    Then just like that, they were gone. 
      
    Ripped away from her life without warning, Aria was thrown back into chaos, alone again and forced to figure out how to stand on her own. In the wake of their absence, she made a choice that could shatter everything she had with Gucci. But deep down, beneath the pain and the distance, Aria clung to one thing: the unshakable truth that no matter what, Gucci had a soft spot for her. And somehow, she believed that love could survive anything. Even this.

    "Vegas deals in cards, but tonight it’s a deadly hand." 
    In the underbelly of Sin City, Bert knew he was playing with fire. Seven players entered a shadowy back room for a game of Crazy Eights, fueled by ambition and desperation. Only four walked out alive. Among them was Bert—a flashy card counter whose golden run had finally turned into a deadly gamble. Now, all he wants is to escape the neon claws of Las Vegas. 
    Every glint of his garish suit and piece of gold jewelry made Bert a spectacle on the casino floors, but in the secret rooms of high stakes and higher risks, those same traits made him a target. A mysterious adversary has marked him, and now he must navigate a city that once welcomed him as a king but now wants him silenced. 
    In pursuit are Tony and Troy, enigmatic twins who once dreamed of wearing FBI badges but now serve the shadows. Known as TNT for their explosive methods, they’ll stop at nothing to uncover who’s really dealing the cards. As Bert eyes the horizon, hopes pinned on a new disguise, a long-lost friend, and an Uber ride into anonymity, the hunter becomes the hunted in this taut game of cat and mouse. 
    Can Bert's wits outplay the ultimate bluff, or will Vegas claim its due? In this stark, cutting edge audio tale from the Solitaire Series, the stakes have never been higher, and folding is not an option.
