The Pattern Emerges

Selene’s POVI didn’t reply to the comment.I believe that the original singer is alive.I only gazed at it a few seconds and the replies accumulated beneath it. People were already debating, questioning, challenging theories. I might intervene, control it, bend it a little as I had been doing all the morning.But I didn’t.I instead closed the thread.There was something not noisy about it.It was as though it were direction.And direction was pattern.I sighed and sat up in my chair and faced the desk correctly. The laptop display remained unclosed, with several tabs operating simultaneously, forums, music sites, personal boards, analytics boards. All that I had been observing.What I believed to be under my control.I clicked the cursor and created a new document.No distractions.No comments.Just data.I wondered, I said to myself.I dragged up the first lot of uploads that I had made earlier in the morning. Dates, platforms, activity peaks. I knew them all right, but I wanted th

The Pressure Builds

Liora’s POVMy phone could not cease vibrating.The last ten minutes had been so--calls, messages, notifications piled up one after another. I had gagged the majority of them, yet there was a name that was flashing on the screen again and again.Marcus.My manager.I hesitated a bit, and then picked up the phone.“What?” The second I answered I snapped.There was no greeting. No calm tone. Nothing but frustration on the verge of my voice.“Liora, where have you been?” The voice of Marcus burst out, tight and strained. I have been making in vain to contact you over the past hour.I’ve been busy, I said, pacing the living room. So much in a hurry that you must call me ten times?“Everything,” he said.I stopped walking.Everything, what do you mean by everything?I said, I said it is getting worse, he said. Your album is being reviewed by more tracks on streaming platforms.I held the phone tighter.“What?” I said slowly. “How many?”Two others, this morning, he said. “And there are rum

The Double Game

Selene’s POVI did not sleep very well.I continued to wake up, look at my phone, refresh pages, open tabs, close them, re-open them. Each time I read a new post, a new comment, a new comparison, my chest tightened, not with fear, but with something more.Control.I was losing it.Another person was sliding the pieces on the board, and I did not like that.I could not sit still any more by morning.I dressed fast and directly went to the office of Ronan.I walked in and was looked up by the receptionist. “Good morning—”I have to see him, I said.She hesitated. Is there an appointment with you?“No.”“Let me check if—”I do not wait, I cut her off and went past.Ma’am----she said, but I had already turned down the corridor.I knew the way.I knocked not and forced his office door open.Ronan was inside, seated behind his desk, going through documents. He did not seem surprised as I entered. He only glanced up gradually.Early, he said.I shut the door behind me more violently than I h

The Suspicion Grows

Liora’s POVIt was now late at night and the house was quiet.Garrick had retired to bed hours before, with another protracted debate with the legal staff. I remained in the living room and sat on the couch with my laptop open and phone in hand.The lamps were low. The light just illuminated my face on the screen.I ought to have slept.I knew that.But I couldn’t.I knocked on the screen.The song began to play.Elysia Ray.That voice.I had already heard it more than once to-day, and there was something in me which would not be quieted. Whenever I played it, I said to myself that I was merely checking, merely analysing, merely proving something.But the truth was…I was seeking what I did not wish to find.I bent a little, placing my elbows against my knees, and my phone was near my ear.The song started again.Soft.Controlled.Then stronger.I closed my eyes.No, no, I said to myself. “You’re imagining things.”I stopped the song and opened another one.One that I had not touched

The Bait

Selene’s pov I was at the kitchen counter with my laptop open, my phone next to it, and my untouched cup of coffee.The tabs were displayed on the screen before me.Forums.Streaming platforms.Comment sections.Everything was moving.Slowly… but steadily.and I was observing it all.Ronan entered the kitchen already dressed up. He looked at me, and at the laptop.Since morning you have been up, he said.“I didn’t sleep,” I replied without looking at him.He stepped closer. “You should rest.”“I will,” I said. “Later.”He didn’t argue, but I could feel his eyes on me.You are following everything over again? he said.“Yes.”“And?” he pressed.I at last gazed up at him.It is taking effect, I said. The pressure is mounting. Her streams are slowing, her songs are flagging, and people are beginning to wonder about her.Very well, said he.“It’s not enough,” I replied.He frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”I mean she is still clinging on, I said. “She hasn’t broken yet.”And you want

The Crack Widens

Liora’s POVMy hands began to shake once again, and I was still staring at my phone.The post was still there.That lyric.That exact line.I reloaded the page, although I was aware that it would not go away.It didn’t.The remarks continued to increase.Whence was this?This is not in her album.This is too personal.I rolled on more, my breath coming out at a lump.“No,” I muttered. “No, no, no…”I shut the phone and stood up and paced the room.It can not be so, I said to myself. “No one knows that line.”I had a tight feeling in my chest.It was no ordinary lyric of his.It was hers.Selene’s.I still had it in mind.Too clearly.We were in the studio and we were sitting on the floor and we were throwing ideas around with the notebooks open. She had uttered that line very low, as though she did not want to say it.I had laughed.I informed her that it was excessive.Too emotional.Too real.And now—It was online.My hands to fists.This is no accident, I said.I picked my phone u

The Watcher Come Back

Selene’s pov The lights flickered just as the notification appeared on my screen. A silence hung thick in the air while I stared at the words.A sound came from the laptop, just one brief noise that made me look up right away. Staring at documents had taken most of sixty minutes already - recordings here, online posts there, scattered details others tried matching together - all swirling behind my eyes.Forward motion came with each new detail. Step by step, the path grew clearer through what was learned.This time felt unlike anything before.A message appeared, but it wasn’t tied to someone I knew.No name.No profile picture.Just a message.For just a moment, my hands stopped above the pad until I pressed down. Then came the click.Heavy, the screen crept into view.The screen blinked awake. A window appeared.A folder appeared.I frowned slightly.Inside were documents.Audio files.Screenshots.For just a moment, my heart dipped low, as if my skin needed time to believe it befo

The Quiet Conflict

Selene’s pov After shutting the laptop, the phrases still played inside my head. Though the device was off, letters lingered behind my eyes. What appeared briefly refused to fade completely. Screen gone dark, yet thoughts stayed lit. Even in silence, lines echoed without asking. The moment ended, but pieces stuck around. Not much said - still, it held on. “You’re not the only one hunting her.” Staring at the coffee, gone cold now, thoughts stuck on that one thing again. Ronan stayed nearby, quiet too, both of us just there without words. Not peaceful - this hush pressed harder than noise ever could. Out of nowhere, it snapped. “This changes everything,” I said. For a moment, Ronan stayed silent. Near the window he stood, eyes fixed on the road beneath, as if sorting through thoughts too heavy to name. His arms were folded tight across his chest. Only later did he turn my way. “It doesn’t change everything,” he said calmly. “It adds noise.” A small laugh slipped out.

The Shattered Figure

Liora’s pov Before the alarm sounded, I opened my eyes. That morning began without its usual call. For reasons beyond my choice. Beside me, the phone kept jumping across the wood surface. A constant shake that never quite quit. It started like any other day - alerts popping up, people saying they liked the new tracks, reminders tied to the record release. Then something felt off. Yet still, the shaking carried on. It kept going. Again and again. Half caught in slumber, I stretched toward it without rising all the way. A sudden glow came from the display. Dozens of alerts. Then hundreds. The air in my lungs turned heavy right away. Up I sat in bed, then tapped the screen to unlock it. A bright screen caught my eye right away. It showed a post from a well-known site that covers shows and stars. Beneath my ribs, a hollow plunge began, long before the last word came into view. I clicked it. The article loaded. Slowly. Too slowly. Cold crept into my f

Change In How Things Were Done

Selene’s pov From my laptop screen, I saw it all happen, silent the whole time.Liora’s name had spread far without warning.More like quiet than joyful.Nothing like what she had hoped for.It was messy.Fast.Uncontrolled.Open tabs spilled across the screen - news here, chatter there, numbers ticking somewhere else. All of it hummed together, too fast, like wires sparking under pressure.These days, my response isn’t what it once was.Not with shock.Not with hesitation.I just observed.Fear began to show through Liora’s public appearances. Interviews felt strained, somehow. Words came out clipped. Smiles didn’t reach her eyes. Each gesture seemed measured.Twice now, I’ve gone back to watch that latest moment she showed up on screen.Fingers trembling just a bit as the microphone touched her hand.One small thing made it clear. What mattered stood out without more proof.Back I leaned, the chair tipping slightly as fingers snapped the clip shut.Far off near the wall, Ronan tapp
