Gloss POV

Back at the penthouse, the city was glowing beneath the glass walls like a field of restless stars. The hum of traffic below mixed with the faint tick of the wall clock, each second stretching longer than the last. Dream hadn’t said a word since we left his family mansion, and honestly, I couldn’t blame him.

His jaw had been tight the whole ride back, his gaze fixed on the skyline as if he was memorizing every building to avoid looking at me. I could tell something was going on in his head, but as usual, he wasn’t going to hand me his thoughts easily.

When we finally got inside, he loosened his tie, dropped his keys on the marble counter, and poured himself a glass of whiskey without offering me one. I stood by the couch, watching him. His reflection in the window looked sharp, tired, and entirely unreadable.

He didn’t look like the man who’d almost laughed at brunch, or the one who’d smirked when I called his aunt “expensively rude.” He looked like someone carrying a we

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 91: SHARED MIND.

    Gloss POV The first thing I noticed when I woke up was noise, not the mechanical kind from the monitors or the hum of the penthouse servers, but soft, rhythmic thoughts whispering through my skull. Not words exactly, more like feelings with voices. Calm, tired, but warm. Dream’s thoughts. He was sitting on the couch across from the cot I’d been sleeping on, his shirt half-buttoned, hair a mess, eyes fixed on his tablet but clearly not reading anything. I blinked, trying to focus, when suddenly I heard it again, a sigh that wasn’t mine. He’s awake. Finally. I sat up so fast I almost yanked out the remaining sensor patch on my arm. His head snapped up, and our eyes met. “You heard that?” I asked. He raised a brow. “Heard what?” “That… That…” I started, then paused. ‘He looks confused.’ My eyes widened. “That! I heard that!” He blinked, then frowned. “You heard what I was thinking?” I grinned slowly, realization dawning. “Oh, this is going to be fun.” Dream’s expression shif

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 90: RECONNECTION.

    Dream's POV The light faded like the last breath of a dying star, and the world returned with a rush of sound. My lungs burned as I dragged in a deep breath, the taste of electricity and blood thick on my tongue. My eyes snapped open to chaos, alarms blaring, screens flickering, the room drenched in the crimson glow of emergency lights. I tried to move, but the weight on my arm held me still. Gloss. He was slumped beside me on the floor, pale, motionless, his fingers still curled around the neural link cable. His chest rose and fell faintly, shallow, but steady enough to make my heart stutter in relief. His hair clung to his forehead, his lips parted slightly as if he were caught between worlds. “Gloss,” I rasped, my throat raw. I reached for him, brushing a hand against his cheek. He was warm, but too still. “Come on, wake up.” No response. The monitors behind us flickered wildly, streams of code racing faster than I could read. The system’s synthetic voice echoed overhead, gl

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 89: THE CODE DUEL.

    Gloss POV The moment the light consumed me, the world dissolved into static. For a brief second, I couldn’t tell whether I was alive or lost inside a dream stitched out of corrupted code. Then, I blinked, and the distortion cleared. I found myself standing in Dream’s office, or at least, a twisted reflection of it. The walls shimmered like liquid glass, colors shifting between black and silver. Every line of furniture glowed faintly with code, and beyond the windows, there was no city, no skyline, only streams of data falling like rain. It was the system’s interface world. Adrian’s world now. I clenched my fists and scanned the room. Everything felt wrong. The hum of the lights, the familiar scent of coffee and ozone, all too real, but just off enough to unsettle me. My heart pounded. I could feel Dream’s presence somewhere far away, faint and fading, like a heartbeat behind glass. Then I heard it, the soft clap of hands behind me. “Well, well, well” Adrian’s voice purred, smooth

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 88: CONNECTION FAILS.

    Dream's POV The air was too still. The hum of the machines around me wasn’t comforting anymore, it was mocking, rhythmic, sterile, lifeless. Gloss’s body lay limp on the cot in the center of the room, wires tangled around him like silver vines. His eyes fluttered now and then, but they never opened. He wasn’t here. He was somewhere else, inside the system, fighting a ghost I should’ve deleted a long time ago. I didn’t know how long he’d been in there. Minutes felt like hours, hours felt like a slow bleed through my veins. The holographic interface above him showed flickering code, looping commands that made no sense. I’d built the system myself, line by line, confident in its perfection. Now, it was a battlefield, and every keystroke I made felt like throwing punches into the void. “Gloss,” I said softly, gripping his hand, hoping he could hear me somehow. His skin was warm but unmoving, the faint pulse beneath his wrist steady yet shallow. “You promised you’d stay.” The system co

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 87: THE DIGITAL WAR.

    Gloss POV When the world disappeared, it wasn’t darkness that met me. It was static. A blinding field of white noise surrounded me, each fragment of light flickering like broken pixels. The air, or whatever passed for air here, was heavy with data streams, whispering lines of corrupted code. I blinked, and the ground beneath me rearranged itself into glass panels showing fragments of memories. My memories. Dream's. Adrian’s. All bleeding into one chaotic mosaic. I was inside the system now. The real world, the office, Dream’s shouts, the alarms, had vanished. Only this warped digital landscape remained. Buildings built from binary rose and collapsed within seconds, the horizon shifting like a breathing organism. The air tasted like metal and electricity. I exhaled slowly. “Alright, Adrian. Where are you?” The answer came as laughter. It echoed from everywhere, threading through the glitched air like smoke. Smooth, taunting, maddeningly familiar. Then he appeared. Adrian’s dig

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 86: CODE REAWAKENING.

    Dream's POV The first thing I heard was the alarm. Not the usual morning chime from my wall panel, but the shrill, mechanical scream of a system breach. I shot upright in bed, the red emergency lights flashing through the penthouse like veins of fire. “System, report,” I barked, voice sharp and rough from sleep. No response. Only static. Then, the building itself seemed to shudder, screens flickering, locks disengaging, cameras twitching like they were alive. My breath came quick, cold realization sinking in. This wasn’t just a glitch. Something was inside. I reached for my wrist console, scanning the alerts. Every line of code scrolled in crimson. Unauthorized access, central AI override, encrypted source unknown. Unknown? No. Not unknown. I’d seen that encryption before. Years ago. Adrian. The thought hit like ice water. I froze, staring at the corrupted data feed as fragments of his old coding signature bled through, the patterns, the encryption rhythm, even the precise sy
