One Night, One Baby, One Billionaire Mess Shadows in the Mirror
AVA Her scream jolted me out of sleep. I rushed from bed, pulse pounding and feet stumbling on the chilly floor. Vale sat up in bed, drenched in sweat, his eyes wide and black. Not dark with fear. Black. I rushed up to her and grabbed her shoulders. "Vale. Look at me. It is Ava. "I am here." She blinked. Twice. Then the black vanished, and silver sprang back into her irises like a daybreak over snow. "I did not mean to," she muttered. "What is happened?" Her voice quivered. "She synchronized. "I could not stop it." And I immediately understood. Aura had found the topic. And now she is pulling.DAMIAN Julian was already awake when I got to the server terminal. "She initiated passive sync," he explained, rubbing his eyes. "This is not a full connection. "Just an emotional bleed." "She is testing Vale's reactions," I snarled. He nodded. "Or, setting the groundwork for control." I glanced at the feed. Aura sat in the same chair. Calm. Po
One Night, One Baby, One Billionaire Mess Mirror and Flame
DAMIAN She was awake. Before we even pressed the controls. The pod hissed as frost melted down its curved surface, revealing a female slightly older than Vale. Thirteen, perhaps fourteen. Her hair was black. Her eyes are frightening. Wide. Intelligent. Still. She gazed at me as if she already knew me. It was as if she had seen me a thousand times in her fantasies. Julian stepped closer and said, "Project Mirror." "Codename: Aura. Inverse-Genesis Host. Designed not to carry Genesis... But to counter him." Aura tilted her head. "You returned slower than planned." I could feel the hair on my arms rising. She was not simply living. She was aware.AVA I sensed the shift from across the country. I did not need Julian's call. I did not need the impending alert. Vale stood in the doorway behind me, fingers gripping the frame. "She is awake," she muttered. I turned. "Who?" Vale's eyes glazed over, and silver bled through again. "The one created from
One Night, One Baby, One Billionaire Mess The Seed Underneath Silence
AVA The sun was rising when the shuttle touched down outside the safehouse. Vale rested her head on Liam's shoulder, eyes closed, fingers curled around his wrist. She didn't speak anything on the way home. He didn't, either. Their stillness, however, was peaceful. The kind that only comes after you've overcome something that should have broken you. I stepped onto the pavement before they did, my feet crunching on gravel. The air had a distinct fragrance. Clean. As though the storm had passed. But something inside me still said, "Not yet."LIAM I should have been relieved. We survived the sync. Vale did not fracture. Genesis did not win. But I couldn't quit thinking about what she said in that room. > "What if I like some of the things he felt?" That line lodged in my chest like a hook. Not because it indicated she was slipping. But I understand her too well. Understanding your enemy is fraught with danger. Especially when the adversary is a version
One Night, One Baby, One Billionaire Mess The Body that Remembers
AVA I glanced at the screen, my heart thumping. Vale's eyes, which had been delicate and silver-fringed, were now black. Not void-like and not empty. But deep. Bottomless. A mirror turned inward. "Liam," I said into the communicator, "get her out of there." He did not move. He was stopped next to her, his hand still gripping hers. "And she..."She smiled. Not like a youngster. As if something ancient had suddenly remembered how to wear her skin. LIAM The chamber felt heavier than usual. As if the air had teeth. I should have let go of her hands. I knew that. But I could not. Because something in me believed that even now especially now she was still herself. "You okay?" I whispered. She blinks slowly. Her voice, when it arrived, was gentle and weird. Like an echo bouncing between dimensions. "He doesn't want to fight anymore." My grip tightened. "Who is 'he,' Vale?" She turned to face me. Her pupils remained inky, and her lips trembled.

AVA I wrapped Vale in a blanket and took her inside. Her feet were iced. Her lips were pallid. However, her voice was steady. "He is not attempting to harm me. "He just... wants space." I kneeled in front of her. "He seeks to possess you, Vale. Not in love with you. There is a distinction. I noticed a shift in her gaze as she stared at me. "Do you adore me because you created me?" she inquired. "No," I answered gently. "I love you because I have chosen to. That is what makes it authentic." "Then I want to select," she said. "But I can not if I am not sure who he truly is." DAMIAN That was the moment everything changed.Vale was not trying to flee. She was not breaking. She was searching. Not safe. Not in a shelter. Truth. And before she could face Genesis, she needed to get to know him. We flew her and Ava back to Manhattan with full jammer security. Liam greeted us at the door. He did not speak right away. He simply stared at Vale as if he

DAMIAN Vale knelt alongside him, her small hands hovering above Liam's. She did not appear terrified. She seems... sad. She seemed to have anticipated this suffering. "I was made from him," she explained quietly. "I know where he hid." She pushed her palm against his chest. "He used to fantasize about being more than a ghost. Of feeling liked. Of being... seen. Her eyes fluttered shut. "Liam," she whispered. "You once told me that you were terrified about being anonymous. But I see you. I recall your laughter. The way you referred to me as daughter before you even realized I could speak."Liam thrashed, groaning. Julian called out, "Neural activity is spiking!" Vale bent forward, touched her forehead to his, and whispered: "You do not have to be Genesis to matter. You just have to come home." AVA Liam gasped. And then he went still. I could not breathe. His eyes slowly opened. Not cold. Not artificial. But his. He looked up at Vale, then at me. "Ava
