Riley POV

“Where is that bastard?” I mutter to myself, irritated already that I have to work this hard. I thought getting rid of Kaya and getting Tom to tie the knot with me would be easy. But now Tom and I are hyperficiated on ruining Tom and Kaya and my plan has to take several back seats till they are done

Tom stands beside me, his hands jammed in his pockets, his jaw tight as we wait. Gerald shows up five minutes late, looking jittery as hell, his lab coat wrinkled and eyes darting around like he’s afraid someone followed him.

“Finally,” Tom mutters, stepping forward. “You said this was urgent.”

Gerald glances around again before answering. “Kaya kicked me out of the lab. She caught me checking her laptop while I was trying to decrypt those files. She even filed a petition to get me fired. I barely managed to walk out with my job still intact.”

I watch him closely, the corners of my mouth twitching. He’s nervous, but there’s something else there too, greed. “So you came runni

    Kaya POV Flynn’s body collapses before I even register the sound he makes. One second he is standing in front of me, eyes unfocused, breath shaking, the next he crumples like the world just shut off behind his eyes. “Flynn. Hey, hey, stop. Flynn.” My voice cracks as I catch him under his arms and drop to my knees with him. His weight pulls me down and panic completely floods my chest so fast I can hardly breathe. He is out cold. Completely unresponsive. I scramble to my feet and sprint toward the hallway, nearly slipping on the polished floors as I yell for help. A guard appears almost immediately, they already know me from coming here with Flynn, his eyes widen. “Miss Kaya, what happened?” “It’s Flynn… He fainted. I need help to carry him upstairs. Please, just help me.” My hands are shaking and I can’t stop looking back at Flynn’s still face. The guard lifts him carefully and I guide him toward the elevator. We settle him on his bed, and the guard looks between Flynn and me

    Flynn POV The drive home from practice feels heavier than usual, in fact the last few hours have been quite unstable, anything could happen next. I keep replaying the moment Kaya walked right past me this morning without looking at me. She always tries to pretend she is not affected, but today she did not even try to hide it. She kept her eyes away from mine like she was avoiding a wound she did not want to touch. And somehow I felt it deep inside me, not in my circuits. In something else, it feels like a real ache. Her car was gone by the time practice ended. Completely burned out, melted into a black shell in the parking lot. Everyone kept whispering about it. Tom and Riley acted like they were strolling through the aftermath of a bonfire they built themselves. They stood behind us looking pleased with themselves, and Kaya nearly lunged at Riley before I pulled her back. The engine hums as I pull into my building garage. I grip the steering wheel, trying to understand why the

    Riley POV The door to my office clicks shut behind us, and within seconds Tom has me backed against it. His mouth crashes against mine, hot and demanding. I smile against his lips, breathless, the thrill of earlier still pulsing through me like electricity. “God, that was incredible,” I whisper, tugging him closer by his collar. Tom kisses down my jaw, his breath rough with adrenaline. “You should have seen your face when the flames went up. You looked like you were watching art.” He laughs, low and amused. Because it was art. Kaya had stood there screaming like a little child who lost her toy. Flynn tried to hold her. She shoved him off. The entire thing was perfect. Every detail. Every reaction. And now, the priceless expression she wore when he tried to drive her home and she rejected him in front of everyone. That alone was worth getting ash under my nails. “I am still replaying it,” I say, pulling Tom back up to kiss me again. “The look in her eyes. And Flynn’s. It was almo

    Kaya’s POV The moment Flynn and I step outside, a sharp burst of heat hits my face. For a second I don’t understand what I’m looking at, because my brain refuses to accept it. Then the flames roar higher, licking up the side of the dented blue hood, and my chest caves in. My car is on fire.The only thing I kept from Noah after he left. It was his car and he had given it to me to pick him up before we were going to run away, before he left me, but still it had sentimental value and I refused to give the car up and now? “No. No no no,” I gasp, stumbling forward. The crackling of flames drowns out everything else. A few teammates hover nearby, muttering, but no one dares get close. People film it instead of helping. Of course they would only film. “Help! Somebody get help!” My voice breaks as I shout, but no one moves. It’s already too late anyway. The fire is too strong. Flynn reaches for me. “Kaya, stop. It isn’t safe.” I shake him off, watching helplessly as the flames swallow

    Flynn’s POV The water hits the back of my neck in steady, pounding waves, this is just another part of the morning routine I’ve done since I was activated. But my eyes close and immediately, the world shifts. I find myself on a rooftop with edges of a city skyline that doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen in this lifetime. The sun sets low so that it stains everything in warm gold. And then I hear laughter, Kaya’s, she sounds younger and softer. Then I hear a voice next, my own, but not my own. “Kaya, promise you won’t leave without me.” Her hair blows in the wind, long and dark, flying around her shoulders. She pushes it back as she laughs again and says something, something I can’t make out. But she’s smiling at me. At Noah. At the person I shouldn’t be remembering. “No…” My hand shoots out, slamming against the shower wall. The tile is cold despite the steam. My breath comes unevenly, if I can even call it breath. “Why do I see her like this?” The memory dissolves lik

    Kaya Pov My lips are still tingling. It’s ridiculous… impossible… but Flynn’s kiss feels like it just cracked something open inside me, something I thought I had welded shut after Tom’s betrayal. For a few seconds, I actually let myself melt into him. I lean closer, my fingers clutching the lapel of his suit, my body hums like someone just turned a current on inside me. His mouth is warm and certain against mine, and I hate how good it feels, how natural it feels, like I am not kissing a robot I built, but someone I have known before. Someone I had loved before. The thought slams through me like a shockwave, and I jolt away from him so fast I nearly trip over the edge of the couch. “No—no, I can’t…” My voice is breathless and cracked. “I shouldn’t feel things for you.” Flynn freezes, “Kaya…” I shake my head, panic building. “This was…this was a mistake Flynn. I need to go.” He stands too, and when he steps toward me, something hopeful sparks in his eyes. “So you do feel som
