Vengeance Algorithm
Framed and ruined tech genius Reid Brecken had constructed CipherCore, only to have it all torn from him by his partners and ruthless investor Dante West, condemning him to a rain-drenched purgatory.
Presented with a lone opportunity for revenge—becoming the living duplicate of vanished tech mogul Max Sterling. Reid is subjected to a drastic transformation: his face remodeled, his mind woven inextricably into Max’s digital specter.
Propelled into the golden cage of Max's existence and the sphere of his suspicious wife, Alessandra, Reid makes a shocking discovery: Max isn't missing; he's confined. And his revolutionary neural innovation, Synapse, has been turned into a weapon that West would murder for to control.
When Reid is ordered to commit an unthinkable act to prove his loyalty, he faces an impossible choice: become the monster he’s impersonating or risk everything, his vengeance, his life, and the woman who holds his fractured heart to blow this conspiracy apart.
But in a world where faces and minds can be altered, whom can Reid trust? And can he reclaim his existence before he's lost forever?
Vengeance Algorithm is a pulse-pounding romantic thriller where identity and illusion, love and manipulation, revenge and redemption blur beyond recognition. It’s perfect for you if you go for high-stakes suspense, complex relationships, and protagonists pushed to their absolute limits.

Chapter: Chapter 9: Max’s FailsafeAlessandra jerked slightly, just enough to kill the atmosphere. She swung sharply toward the monitors, shattering what remained of the spell. "They're withdrawing," she reported, her voice cool and controlled once more, though a subtle flush lingered high on her cheekbones. "Typical of West: create havoc, observe reactions, and then disappear." She indicated the screen depicting the final dark figures rappelling down the cliffs toward unseen vessels. "I bet the damage assessment will be minimal—largely theatrical."With the moment shattered, Reid felt foolish and exposed.His Max-mask felt heavier.“You said you knew things about CipherCore—about bringing Chloe and Marcus… down,” he said, forcing his voice to remain level and businesslike.Alessandra nodded, her eyes on the screens and her back still to him.“I do, but trust is something you have to earn first, Reid. You’ve seen Max. You know he hasn’t disappeared. You know what they’ve done.”She turned at last—her face wary but dete

Chapter: Chapter 8: False OutrageTo Reid, Bricks’s order was like a physical attack, resonating through his bones. The red strobe lights cast the hallway in an ominous, blood-red glow. His pistol held low but firm, commanded Reid's attention.Alessandra's push still echoed in his muscles, her ruffled order "Behave like Max would! Explode! Dominate!" wrestling with the primal compulsion to freeze or run.Sentiment is extinction. The words in Max's journal cut through the panic. Become him.Reid didn’t think. He reacted. He channeled the cold, burning fury smoldering in Max’s logs.He drew himself up to his full height, the bio-modulators pulling his shoulders back and his face hardening into a mask of authoritative outrage.He didn’t look toward Max’s cell. He locked his Max-modified eyes onto Bricks’s, radiating a contempt so intense it momentarily checked the guard’s advance. “What goddamn status report?” Reid spat. His modulated voice, laced with poisonous disdain, slashed through the chaos of the alarms. He took

Chapter: Chapter 7: The Forbidden WingHe was the spitting image of the man Reid was turning into. His hair, however, was unkempt, and the smart sportswear had been traded for a plain grey patient’s gown.His laser-focused eyes remained but were shrouded in a feral, desperate, and uninhibited rage.He slammed the door again; the noise resonated through the glass with a resounding THUD. He turned toward the observation window, his wild eyes sweeping the darkness behind the glass as if he sensed someone there.Reid kept watching him.His lips curled, forming silent, angry words. His face was so like the one Reid knew, and yet entirely different. The face Reid saw through the glass now held the pain and fury of a contained wild beast.Without warning, a cool, nearby voice spoke from behind him: “He has good days and bad days, Reid. Today is especially bad.”Reid spun around, his heart leaping into his throat.Alessandra stood holding two glasses of rich red wine. She hadn’t changed—still perfectly put together—but her face wa

Chapter: Chapter 6: Logs of Betrayal.The suite was a gilded cage within the vast fortress; no luxury spared. State-of-the-art technology integrated discreetly into the walls and furniture. A glass wall provided a dizzying, captivating view of the roiling ocean.Reid felt naked. He knew cameras were watching, microphones were eavesdropping, and Bricks stood sentry outside the door like a silent, hulking jailer.A sprawling king-size frame draped in midnight-blue velvet sat at the room's center. Its ornate headboard of burnished bronze curved like protective wings.He stretched out on the bed and closed his eyes. Millions of thoughts blasted through his mind; Zain's warnings burned hotter. Max must have left clues.Beneath the plush mattress, biometric sensors fine-tuned temperature and support, aligning with every shift of his form. Two pillows cradled his neck, each quietly monitoring his pulse and whispering posture corrections through the neural AI in his skull.He stood and let out a deep sigh, sweeping his gaze acros

Chapter: Chapter 5: Trust No OneWest acted fast. With one decisive tap on the console, he plunged the room into semi-darkness, lit only by the faint glow of status LEDs.The silence after the holographic feed ended was denser than the bunker’s concrete walls. Reid froze like a statue, Alessandra Sterling’s probing stare still rattling him. His synthesized Max voice had hardly masked the tremor beneath. Refresh our access now— right now? In real time? The AI’s deficiencies screamed in his mind.“Improvisation, Mr. Brecken,” West snarled, his words chipping at the air like shards of ice. “It was a dangerous gamble, but it succeeded this time.” He swiveled his chair, the dim light casting deep shadows across his impassive face. Behind Reid, Bricks emerged from the gloom—a silent, hulking reminder of the stakes. “Your cover story holds for now. But Charles isn’t easily fooled. That hesitation… may have registered.”Reid switched to Max’s modulated voice, the biomodulators buzzing softly beneath his skin, molding his exp

Chapter: Chapter 4: Mask of SterlingFinally, Zain brought a sleek, menacing neural-interface headset. "This will sync you with the behavioral AI. It learns from Sterling's recorded data—meetings, interviews, private logs we have acquired. It will suggest responses, mannerisms, and knowledge in real time. Think of it as a co-pilot for your…role."The headset clamped in place. A cold jolt hit Reid, then a flood of information—stock symbols, technical jargon, names, and faces—poured into his consciousness, overlaid with a calm, synthesized masculine voice whispering potential responses in his inner ear, Max's voice merging with his own thoughts. It was intensely disorienting, like sharing his skull with someone else.West summoned Reid over to the main console. Bricks's shadow loomed over him."Observe," West instructed, setting up holographic images—Max Sterling in a boardroom, his eyes cutting through evasion like a laser. "Your target state: ruthless efficiency, directed anger, charisma used as a weapon."He froze on a
