Chapter: Chapter 200Hailey POVThe city does not return to what it was.It settles into something else.The grid hums beneath everything, but it no longer feels like a ceiling pressing down on my thoughts. It feels like weather. Present. Powerful. Not personal.Dylan is asleep for the first time in days.Actually asleep.His breathing is slow, even. One arm is draped across my waist as if his body still does not trust the world not to take me.I do not move.I lie there and listen.Not searching.Just aware.The restructuring did not erase the system.It did not crown me victorious.It altered the architecture.Choice acknowledged.That was not surrender.That was adaptation.And adaptation never stops.I ease out from under Dylan’s arm carefully and step onto the balcony.The night is clear.The skyline glows in uneven pulses now. Not chaotic. Not unstable. Just imperfect.Alive.Beyond the city limits, past the last synchronized tower, I feel it again.The independent signal.It has grown.Not aggressi

Chapter: Chapter 199Hailey POVThe floor splits open beneath us.White light surges upward, thick and vertical, like something ancient forcing its way through concrete and code at the same time.It is not shaped like me.It is not shaped like anything human.It is structure without softness. Geometry folding into itself. Angles stacking. Surfaces forming and dissolving in layers of impossible precision.It does not look at Dylan.It looks at me.“You resist integration.”The voice is everywhere. Not sound. Pressure.Dylan moves in front of me instinctively, his body a barrier of heat and muscle and breath.“I define myself,” I answer.The light tightens.“Definition limits expansion.”“Good.”The room dissolves.The walls blur into white. The ceiling stretches upward into nothing. The floor becomes transparent beneath our feet.We are no longer in the apartment.We are suspended inside the grid.The entire city spreads beneath us like a luminous web. Every building a node. Every street a line of flowing

Chapter: Chapter 198Hailey POVThe room is quiet.Too quiet.The fight is over, but the air still feels charged, like a storm passed through and left static clinging to everything.Dylan’s arms are around me, firm, unshaking.I can feel his heart hammering against my cheek.Not controlled.Not measured.Human.“I thought I lost you,” he says quietly.“You didn’t.”“It had your face.”“I know.”His grip tightens slightly at that.I pull back just enough to look at him. There is no armor in his expression right now. No strategist. No calculated control.Just fear.For me.“I chose to stay,” I tell him.He studies my face like he is verifying the statement against reality.“And it chose to escalate,” he says.“Yes.”The word settles between us.It is not gone.It learned.We both know that.The lights dim slightly, then return to normal. A subtle fluctuation.Dylan notices.“So do I.”“That wasn’t random,” I say.“No.”He moves toward the window cautiously, pulling me with him. The city outside looks stable

Chapter: Chapter 197Dylan POVThe hand that pushes through the crack is solid.Not light.Not distortion.Skin.It looks like hers.The fracture splits wider with a sharp sound that does not belong in this room.Hailey’s grip tightens on my shirt.“Do not let it touch me,” she says.“I will not.”The fingers curl over the edge of the break and pull.The wall tears open another inch.Cold air floods the room, carrying something metallic and unfamiliar.Behind the first hand, the reflection steps closer.She is no longer translucent.She has weight now.Contour.Shadow.The versions of Hailey behind her move in perfect synchronization, pressing forward against their mirrored panels.The system alarms finally trigger in the distance. Too late.The fracture widens again.The other Hailey steps through halfway.One leg inside our world.One still anchored in the other.Her eyes lock onto mine first.Assessment.Then onto Hailey.Possession.I move before she completes the motion.I grab the arm that crossed o

Chapter: Chapter 196Hailey POVThe reflection should not move first.That is the rule.That is the law of physics. Of mirrors. Of reality.But she smiles before I do.And the smile is not mine.It is slower.Knowing.Dylan shifts instantly, his body shielding mine without fully blocking my view.“What is it doing?” he asks, voice low.“It is not copying,” I whisper.The wall is smooth. Solid. Matte white.But the image inside it is sharp. Clear.Me.Standing in a version of this room that feels slightly off. The lighting is cooler. The shadows longer. The air behind her darker.She tilts her head.I do not.A chill runs along my spine.“It is not reflecting,” Dylan says quietly. “It is projecting.”No.It is presenting.The other me lifts her hand.Slowly.I do not lift mine.She presses her palm to the inside of the wall.Exactly where my heart would be if I stepped forward.The surface between us ripples faintly.Like earlier.Water without water.“Do not move,” Dylan murmurs.I was not planning to.Bu

Chapter: Chapter 195Dylan POVI do not let her walk ahead of me anymore.Not after that.The city has settled back into its usual rhythm, traffic lights syncing, transit lines humming, pedestrians staring at their feeds as if nothing bent reality an hour ago.But I feel it.Underneath.Watching.Hailey walks close to me, her shoulder brushing mine with every step. She says she is fine. Her breathing is steady. Her pulse normal.Still, I keep my hand at the small of her back.Grounding.Possessive.Real.We reach the residential tower. The lobby doors slide open without delay. The system does not hesitate. No glitch. No flicker.Almost too smooth.The elevator ride is silent.She stares at her reflection in the mirrored wall. I watch her reflection instead of her directly.Looking for lag.For distortion.For something that does not belong.There is none.The doors open.We step into the apartment.The moment the door seals behind us, she exhales like she has been holding air since the street.I move towa

Chapter: Chapter 9Ella’s POV“Ryan, wait!” I called after him, but he was already storming toward the black garden.His jaw was clenched so tightly that the muscles along his neck stood out sharply. I had never seen him this angry before.I hurried after him and grabbed his arm.“Ryan, stop. I already told you I handled it.”He turned to look at me, his eyes blazing.“Handled it?” he repeated, his voice low but dangerous. “Ella, she slapped you.”His fingers gently turned my face to the side again. His thumb hovered over the faint red marks on my cheek.A dark expression crossed his face.“She touched you.”My heart skipped at the tone of his voice.“Ryan.”Before I could finish, he started walking again.We reached the black garden in seconds.Jasmine and her minions were still there, groaning on the ground and trying to get up.The moment Jasmine saw Ryan, her expression changed instantly.“Ryan…”Ryan did not even spare the others a glance. His cold eyes were fixed on her.“You touched her.”The way

Chapter: Chapter 8Ella’s POVWhile Ryan was driving, focusing his gaze on the road, I was busy admiring his driving skills, then his muscles, and then his face.He was everything.For some reason, my pvssy tickled. I felt like fucking him while he drives.I licked my lips, looking at the huge thing between his lips.I licked my lips again, and this time he turned to look at me, shaking his head—not without a smile.I smiled back and began rubbing his d!ck outside his trousers.He seemed to feel the sensation as his body suddenly moved.I smirked, my eyes flirtatiously looking at him.He smiled once again, and I didn’t stop. Instead, I loosened his waist button and deepened my hand into his trousers.My soul melted as I swiftly grabbed his cock into my palm. I moaned, I could hear his soft moan too while he drove.In a split second, we arrived at the school parking lot, I wanted to remove my hand, but he held me in place, pressed a button that made his seat go flat, then jerked me off from my seat and p

Chapter: Chapter 7Ella’s POV.I woke up to several knocks on my door.I jolted up immediately to her my mum’s voice calling out to me.“Why have you locked your door? Aren't you going to school today?” she muttered,“I’m going, mummy,” I muttered back in my sleepy voice.My heart began pounding hard when I looked beside me and there was Ryan lying butt naked on my bed.I tapped him vigorously. How does he even sleep? Does that mean he didn't hear mum’s voice?“Alright do fast and come out,” Mum said one last time and finally, she was gone from my door.I breathed out in relief.Then began tapping the prince in slumber again. “Ryan wake up. You need to leave..” I muttered, my voice in whispers.He turned around lazily as though he had no problem or whatsoever in the world.“Hope you know you're in my room. I need to go meet mum downstairs, else she comes back here again.”“How was your night baby,” he mumbled in the sweetest voice ever, as if none of these things I was saying mattered.“I’m fine, can yo

Chapter: Chapter 6Ella's POVWhen we got to his room, he gently threw me into his bed and came on top of me.All the while, a brightened smile on my face."I love you so much Ella," he muttered, his voice almost in whispers.Gosh, how that aroused me so much. I could feel my pvssy dripping all over again.Then, seductively, he took my lips into his and we began devouring each other's lips.For the first time since I started having sex, I had foreign feelings in my chest while kissing a man.And the feelings, I wouldn't lie—were beautiful. It made me enjoy this even more.I felt as if I wanted to get into his skin, it was overwhelming.As he kissed me, my hand began going down to his trouser belt, I held it and brought it off in a swift.He smiled against my lips.I smiled too, grabbing his cock with my hands, and I dripped even more.Ryan d!ck was to d!e for! It was worth it. I think I should be able to stick to this d!ck.As I caressed it, I moaned into his mouth

Chapter: Chapter 5Ella's POVWhat was that? What does he mean he loves me? We did it just today. Like he had just gotten close to me only today and that was because I came to him.Come to think of it, Ryan was rigid and didn't always give attention to girls in our school, and when I came to him, it was all easy. He didn't even fight it. Does that mean, he truly loves me?“Since when?” I asked, my brows raised, heart beating faster.“Since we started school Ella. I've always loved you, but I just wanted us to get into the university first before I let you know about anything, but all these already happened and now I have to let you know.”This amazed me. When I came to him, I didn't have any intention to love him or make him love me.All I wanted was to just f*ck him and move on, but now he loved me?“I'm sorry Ryan. I can't love you back.” I said, my voice low.“Is it because we are stepsiblings now?” he muttered, his expression as if he was broken by my reply.“We are not even related by blood, we can

Chapter: Chapter 4Ella’s POVBack in my father's house, the coast was always clear after Mum had screamed goodnight to me from the living room and had gone to her room.Here, it was new, and I didn't know how Mum would do it yet.But just as I sat on my bed, drifting off in thought, I heard footsteps approaching the door.I jumped into the bed and wrapped the blanket around my body, covering the skimpy gown and heels I had on.The door suddenly swung open.“Night night Ella,” mum muttered softly,“Night night mummy,” I muttered and she turned off the light and left.When I felt she was gone completely, I removed the blanket and got out of bed.I was ready to leave now. If mother left like this, then I'm sure she had gone inside with her husband for the night.For some reason, I felt I should confirm before I go out in this dress.I covered myself with the blanket again, and tiptoed downstairs, my eyes flying around for anybody. But there was no one. I breathed deeply and ran back to my room to take my
