Merinda

Merinda is the girl who blends into the background, with her unassuming orange sweater and black skirt, her non-prescriptive glasses perched on her nose as if to complete the picture of a typical nerdy student. But don’t be fooled by appearances. She’s the kind of girl who can sweet-talk her way out of trouble or, if needed, throw a punch that’ll leave you gasping for air. Her past is a tapestry of secrets and debts, a life she’s desperately trying to escape by working with the shadows of society. Whether she’s expertly mixing cocktails at a bar or discreetly laundering stolen goods, Merinda’s talents are as varied as they are unexpected. Yet, amidst the chaos, she remains fiercely protective of her best friend, the one person who knows the real her. Her life is a high-stakes game, and she’s determined to win, even if it means bending a few rules along the way.
