After years of loving the wrong man, she was betrayed in the cruelest way, abandoned and forgotten by the one she trusted most. In 2024, she walked away from heartbreak, determined never to fall again.

Four years later, in 2028, she’s no longer the fragile woman she once was. A celebrated author, a sharp-minded teacher, and one of the most elusive underground hackers in the cyber realm, she hides behind a calm smile, her secrets buried deep beneath code and firewalls.

But one night in City X shatters her carefully built peace. A book signing, a few too many drinks, a stranger cloaked in charm and danger... and the next morning, a blank memory, fragments of a signature, a hotel room, and a man she can’t forget.

Back in City C, she expects to move on, until a knock on her door changes everything.

“I’m your husband,” he says.

He’s younger, commanding, and far too dangerous to be ordinary. A soldier in a classified military division, one that operates in the shadows of reality, where enhanced beings and forbidden science blur the line between man and monster.

Bound by a marriage contract, they’re pulled into a world of covert missions, genetic experiments, and an ancient organization determined to control the evolution of mankind.

She’s a hacker who steals secrets.

He’s a soldier sworn to protect them.

And when their worlds collide, love becomes both a weapon and a weakness, the only thing powerful enough to save them... or destroy everything they stand for.

I wasn't expecting my phone tracker to send an alert, not from him.


Richard's signal blinked red on my screen, flashing in intervals like a distress call. For a second, I thought it was a glitch. He'd told me he'd be "busy with school," that he'd be out of reach for a few days. I believed him. I wanted to believe him.


But the alert didn't stop. It pulsed steadily, like a heartbeat.


My throat went dry. "Why… why is he in danger?"


The rational part of me tried to calm down, maybe his phone had just gone offline, or the tracker had malfunctioned. But the longer I stared at that blinking red dot, the more I felt my composure slip. My mind raced back to that morning he left, the way he kissed my forehead, so gently it almost felt like goodbye.
