The Meridian Hotel doesn’t advertise. It doesn’t need to.
Behind its glass walls lies a world where power protects secrets and people disappear without a trace.
Elena thought she was in control of her life — until she realised she was part of someone else’s design. Pulled deeper into manipulation, surveillance and hidden desire, she has to choose: stay safe and silent, or risk everything to break free.
Around her are others — fighters, survivors, truth-seekers — each fighting a system built to control them.
