They Shouldn’t Have Matched Us

ErosXD
The system was designed to create perfect matches—calculated, controlled, and impossible to refuse. Sarai Bennett built her life on structure, independence, and control. She doesn’t need help, and she definitely doesn’t need a system deciding her future. Virek Solen doesn’t belong in the system at all. He doesn’t follow rules, doesn’t answer to authority, and doesn’t stay where he’s placed. So when they’re matched, it doesn’t make sense. Until Sarai realizes something no one else has: They weren’t matched for compatibility. They were matched because they resist. Now forced into the same space, Sarai is pulled into a world she doesn’t understand—one built on control, danger, and decisions that don’t leave room for hesitation. The more she sees what Virek really does, the more she understands why the system needed him contained. And why putting them together might have been its worst mistake. Because Sarai doesn’t break. And Virek doesn’t bend. And whatever this is between them… it isn’t something the system can control.
