Each of us O’Sheas had a place in our family dynamic. I was the face for all our businesses. The smooth O’Shea. The fun loving one. The one with the silver tongue. When all I really wanted was a woman of my own and family. I’d yet to find the right one. When I did, she took me by surprise. Turns out she was right under my nose.

I met Vector, a man who made me believe I was special. That was until he ghosted me.

I would give it all up for her, but the Game must be played. I started this game for my grandfather. I fought to win to claim the Valenshek Legacy. Win, lose, or draw, I’m not leaving this town without Tristian Ives.
