Before love Lies A baby on the way
Jasmine Ito – POVIt started as a feeling I couldn’t explain.Not pain.Not sickness.Just… wrong.Like something inside me had shifted slightly out of place, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t push it back where it belonged.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at my reflection like it might confess something I didn’t already know.“You’re fine,” I whispered.But even to my own ears, it sounded like a lie.It had been a month.A month since that night.And I hadn’t let myself think about it—not really. I buried it under work, distractions, noise… anything to keep from replaying it in my head.But now?Now my body wouldn’t let me ignore it.My stomach twisted again—not sharp, but tight. Like a knot slowly being pulled tighter and tighter.I pressed my hand against it, frowning.“What is wrong with me…”“Jasmine.”I flinched.Debbie’s voice cut clean through my thoughts.I turned too quickly, my shoulder brushing against the counter.She was standing in the doorway,

President Thomas Banks – POVI don’t know anymore.The thought didn’t come like a whisper—it slammed into me, heavy and unforgiving, echoing through the hollow silence of the Oval Office. The world I had spent years trying to stabilize… was slipping through my fingers.I stood alone, staring out the reinforced glass windows. Washington, D.C. was still there—monuments, lights, life—but it felt like a relic. A photograph of a time that no longer existed.“There’s a way,” I muttered under my breath.There had to be.But every path I saw led to the same place: collapse.The cost of action? Possibly the end of my presidency. Maybe even the end of the United States as a superpower.The cost of inaction?Far worse.I turned sharply, walking back toward my desk. My hand hovered over the phone for just a second—just long enough for doubt to creep in.Then I picked it up.“Get me MI6,” I ordered.A pause.Then the line began to ring.They’re the only ones left who might understand the scope of

Dennis Rothchild – POV (Private Office, Minutes Later)“Activate Cindy.” The command left my mouth with certainty. Control. Precision. Superiority.Everything we had built into her.Cindy was supposed to be the world champion ai tech The screens flickered to life.Code streamed. Systems aligned.For a brief moment— I felt it again.That familiar sense of control. Cindy,” I said calmly,initiate counter-intrusion protocols.” A pause. Then—Processing…” Good. Very good. Locate Sam.” Isolate John Edison.”“Return system control to League authority.”Silence.Then—Something… off.“…Error.”My eyes narrowed.“What did you say?”“…Error.”The word repeated.Colder this time.Less stable.The screens glitched.Code began rewriting itself—Not by us.Against us.System Collapse“Re-routing commands—”“Access denied.”“Attempting override—”“Denied.”My jaw tightened.“No.”That wasn’t possible.“Reinitialize,” I snapped.“Run it again.”“System integrity compromised.”The voice stuttered.F
Before love Lies Total control
Global Escalation – The ShiftThe world didn’t realize the moment it changed.There was no explosion.No announcement.No warning.Just—A flicker.⸻Beijing – Central CommandScreens glitched.Once.Twice.Then stabilized.Officials leaned forward, confused.“Check the system,” one commander ordered.Before anyone could respond—Every screen in the room went black.Then—A single signal appeared.Clean.Controlled.Unbreakable.Sam“Access granted.”A voice followed.Not loud.Not aggressive.But absolute.“Remain calm.”Panic spread anyway.“Who is this?!” a general shouted.No response.Instead—Their satellite grid lit up.Missile systems.Naval fleets.Air defense.All visible.All exposed.All… accessible.“Control has been temporarily reassigned,” Sam said.A pause.“You are no longer operating independently.”Silence.Heavy.Unreal.⸻Moscow – War Operations CenterThe same thing happened.Systems flickered.Then died.Then—Came back.Different.A Russian officer slammed his

Thomas Banks – POV (The Oval Office → Press Briefing)I sat alone for a moment.The Oval Office—usually a place of control—felt… different.Quieter.Heavier.War does that.It changes the air.Even before the first real loss is confirmed.I leaned back slightly, staring at the ceiling.Did I move too fast?No.I couldn’t afford hesitation.Not with him alive.Not with her protecting him.The door opened.I didn’t turn.“Mr. President,” my sister said carefully.Emily Banks“The press is ready.”A pause.“They’re waiting for your statement.”I exhaled slowly.“Let’s go.”⸻Walk to the PodiumEach step echoed.Measured.Heavy.The weight of millions behind every movement.The doors opened—Lights.Cameras.The world.I stepped forward, straightened my suit, and looked directly ahead.No hesitation.No doubt.⸻Live Address“My fellow Americans…”A pause.“As many of you have already seen…”“…we have initiated a defensive operation in Queensland.”Queen Bella“Their leadership chose aggr

Throne Room – War Begins“Son… think about what you’re doing.”Debbie Edison’s voice carried through the chamber—firm, controlled, but edged with urgency.“You can give them Sam,” she continued.“It doesn’t have to go this far.”I shook my head immediately.“No.”My voice was sharp.Final.“I will never give Sam up.”I stepped forward, eyes hard.“If the United States gets control of Sam—”A pause.“Our freedoms are over.”“Our society ends.”I exhaled slowly.“They don’t understand what he is.”“They can’t replicate him.”“They can’t control what they don’t understand.”Before anyone could respond—Sirens screamed.Loud.Piercing.Unmistakable.The room froze.Then chaos.⸻Incoming AttackA soldier burst through the doors.“Your Highness!”F-22 Raptor inbound!”“Twenty-two aircraft—full payload!”Everything shifted instantly.Queen Bella shot to her feet.“Scramble the jets—”“Already in progress.”Sam’s voice cut through the chaos.“Air defense systems online.”“Engaging hostile ai

Sam’s voice returned to my ear, steady but quieter than usual.“John… analysis complete.”I stood near the window of the garage for a moment, staring at the dark skyline of Kyoto while the city lights flickered like distant stars.“What did you find?” I asked.Sam responded immediately.“According

Sam’s voice echoed through the speakers mounted in the small medical room.“Video complete.”I sat forward in the chair, my stitched shoulder aching as the adrenaline slowly faded.“Play it,” I said.The lights from the monitor flickered to life. A dark screen appeared first, then slowly faded into

Jasmine’s POVJohn sat beside me in silence, but I felt him more than I heard him.He was a handsome American—strong arms, well built, jet-black hair that fell just slightly out of place no matter how hard he tried to control it. There was a steadiness about him, a gravity that pulled people in wit
