IN PLAIN SIGHT

Malik Tyson has always believed in lifting people as he climbs. So, when a brilliant, overlooked coworker named Arielle Ward struggles to break through the company’s glass ceiling, Malik becomes her mentor, her advocate, her shield.
What he doesn’t know is that Arielle’s ambition isn’t just strong — it’s lethal.
Every favor he does for her becomes a steppingstone. Every door he opens becomes a weapon. And every piece of trust he gives her becomes ammunition she uses against him.
When a high stakes project collapses and Malik is framed as the saboteur, the truth hits him harder than any street betrayal ever could:
The person he tried to help was the one destroying him — and she did it in plain sight.
Now Malik must fight to reclaim his reputation, expose Arielle’s hidden agenda, and rebuild his career from the ashes. But redemption won’t come from revenge alone — it will come from understanding how easily kindness can be manipulated, and how ambition, when twisted, becomes deadly.
Because in the workplace, the most dangerous enemy isn’t the one who hates you. It’s the one who needed you.
