Melissa

The fire danced across the lab like a living thing, swallowing wires, papers, memories and the fake Jamal stood silhouetted against the chaos and his presence radiating calm like this was all part of his plan.

My father’s grip on my hand tightened “Melissa, listen to me.”

Eleanor dragged a fire extinguisher from the wall, shouting over the roar “Get him out. I’ll hold him off!”

"Are you insane?" I bellowed "He'll kill you!"

"No," she said, eyes flashing "He needs me alive."

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter Two Hundred

    Melissa’s POVFor a moment, no one reacted, not because we didn’t understand but because we understood too clearly.“You are no longer required.”The words didn’t echo, didn’t repeat but simply… remained.Zara let out a short, disbelieving laugh. “No. No, that’s not how this works.”Jamal didn’t laugh.He stepped forward.“What does that mean?” he asked, voice steady but sharp.The system didn’t hesitate.“Core principle established. System capable of autonomous continuity.”Leila’s brows drew together. “So… it can sustain itself now.”“Yes.”Amina’s voice was softer. “Without us.”The confirmation came immediately.“Yes.”The fractures around us pulsed again but this time, not with instability but with independence.I felt the shift that was subtle, but absolute.Before, the system had responded to us.Now, it didn’t need to.Zara shook her head, pacing once before stopping abruptly. “No. That’s not—no. We built this. We don’t just get… dismissed.”“This isn’t dismissal,” I said quie

  • 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 Eighteen

    Jamal’s POVI sat on the cold metal bench, hands pressed together so tightly my knuckles hurt. The room smelled like ozone and antiseptic, and every hum in the walls made my nerves jump. I didn’t know what was coming next. All I knew was that Melissa was trapped somewhere in this twisted maze of la

  • Daddy's Little Secret    Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen

    Melissa’s POVThe world was white.Not blank, not empty — white.A living kind of white.The kind that pulsed, like it had a heartbeat.I lay on something that felt like both glass and water. My body wasn’t exactly touching it, but I wasn’t floating either. It made no sense, but sense stopped matte

    Jamal’s POVThe moment Melissa disappeared behind that reinforced door, the room felt colder. Too quiet. Too expectant. Like the air itself knew something I didn’t.I stared at the cameras overhead.“Open the door,” I said.The intercom crackled.“Access denied.”I clenched my jaw.“Override. Jamal

    Jamal’s POVThe Fracture Point“Melissa—NO!”My fingers scraped empty air as the platform swallowed her whole in a flash of white. I lunged again, reaching for light that was already gone. The chamber roared, the walls splitting, blue circuits sparking like veins under breaking skin.“Melissa!” I s
