Dandelions: February

February
Knowing the truth didn’t save me.
It marked me.

After overhearing a murder confession, I thought the worst part would be the fear. The paranoia. The constant feeling of being watched.
I was wrong.
Because now my boss knows I heard him.
And he hasn’t fired me.
He’s kept me closer.
Bound by an ironclad NDA and trapped inside the firm that makes crimes disappear, I’m forced to work directly for the man who helped cover up a woman’s death. Every case I touch feels contaminated. Every late night feels like a test.
Someone is watching my movements.
My routines are no longer safe.
And the line between protection and control is starting to blur.
With no body, no proof, and no one who would believe me, the truth becomes a liability—and staying silent might be the only thing keeping me alive.
But silence has a cost.
And February is when I start to realize something far more dangerous than the crime itself:
Once you know the truth, the truth decides what happens to you.

DANDELIONS: February is Novella #2 in a twelve-month psychological thriller series about power, silence, and the cost of seeing too much.
