The report of the shot cracked through the air like a whip.

I screamed.

Time distorted and everything was fuzzy. I only heard the ringing in my ears and the thud of my heart and i didn't know who was hit...not yet but i grabbed Jamal instinctively, holding onto his shirt as we both crumpled behind the broken couch.

Pounding footsteps went toward the boathouse and shouts rang out.

"Suspect down! Weapon secure!" the voice echoed

I crept to my knees breath trembling and peered over the edge

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter One Hundred And Ninety Nine

    Jamal’s POVNo one rushed to answer this time because the last time we acted too quickly, we didn’t just solve a problem, we created a bigger one.And now the system was waiting, n pushing, not forcing but just… holding waiting for definition.The fractures hovered in place around us, each one pulsing faintly, like restrained potential. Not chaotic anymore. Not expanding uncontrollably.But not stable either.They were paused and suspended on the edge of something final.Zara shifted beside me. “I really don’t like it when everything goes quiet like this.”Leila didn’t look away from the fractures. “It’s not quiet.”“No,” Melissa said.“It’s listening.”That felt right....too right.Failsafe pulsed softly this time.“Core designation pending. System state: transitional.”Amina’s voice was low. “If we choose wrong…”She didn’t finish.... didn’t need to.I looked at Melissa.She hadn’t moved but I could see it in her eyes and the weight of it.This wasn’t just another decision.This was

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter One Hundred And Ninety Eight

    Melissa’s POVThe fracture did not spread the way I expected.It did not tear the ground open or split the world apart in some dramatic collapse....it branched.Thin lines, like cracks in glass, spread outward beneath our feet—delicate, precise, almost… intentional.That was worse because destruction is chaotic.This was as structured and Failsafe pulsed violently.“Fragmentation pattern confirmed. Divergence exceeding containment thresholds.”Zara took a step back. “Yeah, no. That’s definitely spreading.”Jamal didn’t move.“What kind of fragmentation?” he asked.I was already watching it and already feeling it.“It’s not breaking randomly,” I said.“It’s separating possibilities.”Leila’s eyes narrowed. “Explain.”I pointed.“Look.”The nearest fracture shimmered. Not empty, not dark but layered.Within it, I could see faint impression like reflections that didn’t quite belong to our reality.A street… slightly different.A building… angled another way.People… moving in patterns th

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter One Hundred And Ninety Seven

    Kade’s POVFalling should have a direction.Either down or forward Something your body understands.This had none.There was no air rushing past me, no sense of gravity pulling at my limbs. No ground rushing up to meet me. No sky above to orient against.Just movement.Endless, disjointed movement.Like being pulled through layers that did not belong to each other.I tried to breathe and my chest tightened.For a second, just a second—I thought I could not.Then the sensation corrected itself not because I adjusted but because something else did.That realization snapped clarity back into my mind.“This is not a fall,” I said.My voice did not echo, it did not carry.It simply existed close and contained.Lena’s hand was still in mine.That—more than anything, kept me anchored.“I know,” she said, her voice steadier than I expected. “Do not let go.”“I am not.”Around us was fragments.Not debris, not physical matter.Pieces of something....moments, structures, impressions all slid p

  • Daddy's Little Secret     Chapter One Hundred And Ninety Six

    Jamal’s POVEvery instinct I had told me to move.Not forward, not back....just wanting me to move.Because standing still while an entire crowd turned to look at you in perfect sync was not something the body was built to accept calmly.But I didn’t move....none of us did because the moment demanded stillness, understanding and maybe...just maybe control.Zara broke the silence first.“…Okay,” she said slowly, voice tight but steady. “I’m officially done pretending this is normal.”No one answered her because there was nothing to say that would make this normal.The people didn’t blink.Didn’t shift and didn’t speak.They just… watched.All of them.Every single one.Leila stepped slightly closer to Amina. “This isn’t passive anymore.”“No,” Melissa said quietly. “It’s directed.”I exhaled slowly.“Directed at us.”Failsafe pulsed sharply.“Collective attention convergence at maximum threshold.”Zara let out a breath. “You don’t say.”I scanned the crowd looking for variation that wa

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter One Hundred And Ninety Five

    Melissa’s POVJamal froze was subtle.So subtle that Zara almost missed it.But I didn’t because I felt it.Not in the air, not in the system.In him.A disruption.Small, precise and focused.“Jamal,” I said quietly.He didn’t respond immediately.His hand was still extended, fingers brushing the object on the ground. A simple thing. A dropped item. Nothing significant.Except something had changed the moment he touched it.Zara stepped closer. “Why did you just go statue mode?”Still nothing.Leila moved beside me, her voice lower. “He’s not disconnected.”“No,” I said.“He’s engaged.”Amina inhaled softly “With what?”Jamal finally straightened slowly but he didn’t turn to us.Not yet.“I think…” he said, voice distant, “it’s not just watching anymore.”That made Zara pause.“…I’m sorry, what?”He turned then and something in his expression had shifted.Not control and not loss of control but awareness that heightened and focused.“They’re here,” he said.Zara looked around immedia

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter One Hundred And Ninety Four

    Melissa’s POVNo one spoke immediately.Not because there was nothing to say but because anything said too quickly would be wrong.Amina’s words lingered in the air like something fragile and dangerous at the same time. It was never broken.Failsafe pulsed again, uneven now.“System classification unstable. Core assumptions invalidated.”Zara let out a slow breath. “Yeah, that sounds about right.”Jamal didn’t move. His gaze was fixed on Amina.“Start from the beginning,” he said quietly. “What did you see?”Leila steadied Amina, her grip firm but careful. “Take your time.”Amina swallowed, still catching her breath. Her eyes weren’t unfocused but they weren’t fully here either.“It wasn’t like before,” she said. “Not just fragments. Not just observation.”She hesitated.“It was… layered.”I stepped closer.“Layered how?”She looked at me.“Like what we’re seeing now is just the surface. And beneath it—there’s something older. Something that didn’t start with the system.”Zara frowne

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy

    Jamal’s POVI did not sleep and Melissa pretended she did.Zara actually tried, but I lay awake staring at the ceiling, replaying the inverted resonance over and over in my head.It had not felt like Amina, it had not felt like panic but had felt like calculation and that unsettled me more than com

    Jamal’s POVThe new resonance did not flare, it flickered.Small. Untrained, unaware but real.I felt it the way you feel a second heartbeat in a quiet room—faint but undeniable.“Location?” I asked immediately.The failsafe responded with renewed clarity now that compression protocols had de escal

    Melissa’s POVDirectly beneath us.For a moment, everything else faded.The screams from the highway. The distant sirens beginning to rise from the city. The luminous triad hovering in strained formation above us. Even the Prime Anomaly’s oppressive distortion receded into background noise.The ori

    Jamal’s POVThe reset did not begin with destruction, it began with silence and the light pouring from the vortex did not burn, it did not explode and it did not tear the highway apart in dramatic collapse.It erased and color drained first.The flashing emergency lights faded to gray. The fracture
