I secretly wished to lose everything... just to expose who’d betray me. Loyalty’s cheap talk... until your empire burns. You’ll never know who’s solid until the money, the power or the spotlight disappears. Betrayal always comes stamped with familiar faces and polite smiles. i’d rather lose it all once and purge the snakes than build riches on rotten ground. ♟️ #chess #foundation #building 📸: dsanchezphoto
