The Asset Collector

di Alander Pulliam (Autore)

Alander Pulliam, 2025

In Dallas, Amari is the very definition of modern success. His abundant life—high-tech gadgets, luxury cars, and a boundless network—isn't built on inheritance; it's earned through a rare, highly valuable digital skill. For Amari, success means having enough to share, and his front door is always open to his bustling family and loyal friends. He believes that kindness is the ultimate currency, and genuine giving is the purest form of wealth. But when Cornell, Shenae, and their crew arrive from Arizona, they see his open door as an invitation to the vault. Jaded and desperate, they meticulously catalog his resources, realizing Amari's unwavering sincerity is his greatest weakness. They execute a calculated plan, masking their exploitation with a constant shower of focused flattery and false praise. Amari, craving connection, mistakes their transactional smiles for true friendship, giving and giving until his well runs dry. The fall is swift and catastrophic. When Amari loses everything, the masks drop. The 'friends' who hailed him as a king now mock his misfortune, abandoning him with cruel, manipulative excuses designed to justify their theft. They scatter, having fully drained the resource they mistook for a friend. Alone, betrayed, and stripped down to his core skill, Amari must navigate the bitter reality of betrayal. But the story of the generous heart exploited is not over. He rebuilds, wiser and stronger than ever before. When the Asset Collectors inevitably return—having squandered their ill-gotten gains and desperate for a new source—Amari must decide if his greatest strength is still his generosity, or the hard-earned wisdom to finally close the door. A compelling, cinematic story about the high cost of kindness and the true value of boundaries.
