Gus’s Secret

Raphael's gaze locked onto the woman before him, a tumult of emotions swirling within his eyes. His face was etched with a primal shock that deepened with each passing second.

The questions began to accumulate in his mind, piling up like a barricade against the reality he was forced to confront.

Why? When? How?

Gus had always been considered to be his true confidante, his pillar in a world full of uncertainty. The revelation that his trusted friend was not as he seemed shattered him. He felt like a sailor lost at sea — the lighthouse he had depended on turned out to be a mirage. His trust in Gus, once unshakeable, had been schemed away.

The revelations that had just unfolded shook him to his core. The Blue Owl he had known since childhood was nothing more than a disguise, a carefully orchestrated scheme.

He realized he knew nothing about Gus, despite all the years they'd spent together.
