Rival's Marriage Agreement 131
Brandon’s POV“Say it again,” Cameron said, his voice unsteady in a way I had never heard before, like every word was slipping through something he could not fully control.“I love you,” I said immediately, without hesitation, without thinking, because there was nothing to think about anymore except keeping him here.“Again,” he said.“I love you,” I repeated, louder this time, firmer, like I could force it to stay inside him if I said it enough times.Wilson let out a quiet breath behind me. “Okay, this is intense, but I support it, please continue,” he said nervously.“Again,” Cameron said.“I love you,” I said, my voice starting to shake now.“I am trying to hold onto it,” he said, his words slower, strained, like something was pulling them away even as he spoke them.“Then don’t let it go,” I said quickly. “Just focus on me, focus on my voice.”“I am,” he said, but he winced slightly, his expression tightening. “But it is… fading.”“No, no, no,” I said, shaking my head. “It’s not

Cameron’s POVSomething was wrong.Not in the way it had been before, when everything inside me was too controlled, too precise, too… empty.This was different.This felt unstable.“Something is coming,” I said again, my voice quieter now, but more certain.Brandon didn’t let go of my hand.“Okay,” he said, his tone steady even though I could feel the tension in his grip, “then we face it together.”“No,” I replied immediately.He frowned.“No?” he repeated. “What do you mean no?”I shook my head slightly, trying to process what I was feeling, what I was remembering, what was trying to surface all at once.“This is not external,” I said. “It is internal.”Wilson made a small, panicked sound behind us.“I do not like internal problems,” he said. “External problems can be avoided. Internal problems sound like breakdowns.”Irene stepped closer.“What kind of internal?” she asked. “Memory? Programming? Physical response?”“Yes,” I said.“That is not helpful,” she replied.“I am aware,” I

Brandon’s POVFor a moment, nobody moved.Not me.Not Cameron.Not even the wind felt real anymore.Everything was just… suspended.“You saw that, right?” Wilson whispered from behind me. “Please tell me I did not imagine that because I am emotionally invested now.”“I saw it,” Irene said quietly. “He’s breaking through.”I did not respond.Because I was too focused on Cameron.On his hand.On the way it had moved toward me and then stopped, like something inside him was fighting itself.“Don’t pull away,” I said softly.“I am not pulling away,” Cameron replied, but his voice still had that controlled edge, like he was trying to hold onto something slipping.“You almost did,” I said.“That was conflict,” he said.“Good,” I replied. “Then keep fighting it.”Kade’s voice came again, calm but different now.“Emotional override is increasing,” he said. “This is not supposed to happen at this rate.”I turned my head slightly.“Then maybe your system isn’t as perfect as you think,” I said.

Cameron’s POVThe moment I took the step forward, everything inside me shifted again, like something deep in the system had briefly misfired.Not broken.Not gone.Just… interrupted.“You moved,” Brandon said immediately, his voice sharp with disbelief and hope at the same time.“I did not complete the previous instruction set,” I replied.Wilson let out a loud breath.“I don’t know why that sounds more concerning than reassuring,” he said. “But it does.”Kade’s voice came from behind Brandon, calm as always.“The failsafe is destabilizing,” he said.Brandon turned slightly, not taking his eyes off me.“Then fix it,” he said.“I cannot,” Kade replied.Brandon scoffed.“You keep saying that like it’s helpful,” he said. “It’s not.”“It is factual,” Kade answered.Brandon looked back at me.“Cameron,” he said again, slower this time, “talk to me.”I processed the request.Language response: stable.Output: clear.“I am talking to you,” I said.“No,” he replied immediately. “You’re answer

Brandon’s POV“Failsafe?”The word did not sit right in my chest. It felt wrong the second it left Kade’s mouth, like something sharp pressed against my ribs from the inside.“What failsafe?” I repeated, louder this time.Kade did not look at me.He was still watching Cameron.Always Cameron.“You don’t remember that part yet,” he said calmly.I stepped in front of Cameron again without thinking, my hand tightening around his wrist.“Then you’re going to explain it,” I said, my voice steady even though everything inside me was not.Kade tilted his head slightly.“It’s not my job to explain,” he said. “It’s my job to observe.”“That’s not happening,” I snapped. “You don’t get to drop something like that and then act mysterious about it.”Wilson nodded aggressively.“Yes, exactly. This is not a movie. You cannot just say ‘failsafe’ and then refuse to elaborate. That is extremely unfair.”Irene shot him a look.“Now is not the time,” she said.“It is absolutely the time,” he argued. “We

Cameron’s POVThe moment the words left my mouth, I felt it.Not something external.Not something new.Something that had always been there.Buried.Controlled.Restricted.Until now.“I’m done holding back.”The air around us felt sharper, like everything had suddenly become clearer, more defined, more… predictable.Kade smiled.“Finally,” he said. “I was starting to think you’d never get there.”Brandon stepped closer to me, his voice tight with something I couldn’t ignore.“Cameron,” he said, “what does that mean?”I didn’t look at him immediately.Because my focus—Was on Kade.“It means he gets what he wants,” Kade answered for me. “A fair test.”“I didn’t ask you,” Brandon snapped.Kade ignored him.I took a step forward.Then another.Slow.Controlled.Every movement deliberate.“Cameron,” Irene said, her tone sharp now, “we need to leave. This is not the time to—”“No,” I said.The word cut through everything.Firm.Clear.Final.“We are not leaving,” I continued.Wilson star
Rival's Marriage Agreement Chapter 15
Brandon POVI was still pissed. No—scratch that. I was livid.Cameron had the audacity to call me out like I was the villain, like I crossed some line when he was the one playing emotional ping-pong with me. One minute he wanted me, the next he was making googly eyes at Erica like I was invisible.

Cameron POV My stomach flipped and my thumb hovered over the answer button like it weighed a million pounds. I swiped to answer and placed the phone against my ears,"Hey.""Hey," she said, and her voice was softer than I expected it to be. There wasn't any judgment or ice to it, it was comfortabl

Cameron POV I didn’t answer.Brandon blinked. “Okay, why is it online? Who took this?”I sighed and sank down onto the bench. “Drake posted it.”Brandon stared at me like I just told him I was secretly a robot. “Drake? Your stepbrother Drake?”“Yep.”He let out a breath and dropped next to me, sti
Rival's Marriage Agreement Chapter 12
Cameron’s POVI should’ve known peace was temporary. Like, cosmic rule or whatever—if things feel too okay, something terrible is probably lurking right around the corner.That "terrible" showed up in the form of my ever-charming stepbrother, Drake.It was a normal school day, or at least, it looke
