Zero-day Attack Chapter 1

She only wanted to live. He only needed a wife—on paper. But what started as a contract… is about to rewrite their hearts. After Rain Italy Cuervanue refuses to be sold off to an old man to pay her aunt’s debt, she’s thrown out of her own home. Desperate and alone, she flees to the only place that still holds her father’s memory, the beach house he gave her on her 18th birthday, only to find out it’s been sold. And not just to anyone. To Matthew Fuentavello, the youngest, powerful, and most feared CEO in the country, from a family known across Asia. To her shock, Matthew offers her a deal: Marry him for six months, a secret contract to fulfill his grandfather’s condition for taking full control of their empire. In return, she gets the beach house back. The catch? She must also work for him as his secretary. No one must know they’re married, except his family. Rain agrees with no choice left, never expecting that the man she married on paper… is the uncle of her cheating ex-boyfriend, the one who broke her heart with her own cousin. As they pretend by day and blur the lines by night, a dangerous chemistry starts to grow. Office rumors spark. Jealousy brews. And when the whispers get too loud, Matthew drops the biggest bomb—Rain isn’t just his secretary. She’s his wife. Just when Rain begins to believe in their stolen happiness, the past comes knocking. Her ex wants her back. Matthew’s ex, the woman who once rejected the deal Rain accepted, now wants him again. And Rain begins to wonder… Was she just a second option? Or is there something Matthew’s been hiding from the start… something real?

On the seventh year of our anniversary, the anniversary gift my husband, Anthony Walker, has given me is a divorce agreement that is valid for seven days. He has planned all this just because he has his eye on a female intern in his company, who is seven years younger than him. So, he wants to be in a legitimate relationship with her that only lasts for seven days. On the first day, they reserve an entire cinema for themselves. After that, they make love to each other from the doorway to the seats. On the second day, they set off fireworks at the beach. The fireworks are so bright that half of the city is illuminated by them. On the fifth day, the intern, Tanya Lindt, barges into my art exhibition. With tears running down her face, she accuses me of being the side chick in her relationship in front of the mass media. That night, news of a rising female painter becoming a homewrecker for the sake of love goes viral. More than 100 thousand malicious comments directed at me are posted in the comment section. On the sixth day, Anthony apologizes to me on Tanya's behalf. Apparently, the punishment he has set for her is that she's not allowed to go shopping for three days. On the seventh day, Anthony finally realizes that something is wrong. He calls me 99 times just to remind me that we'll get remarried the next day. "Okay," I say to him. Then, I inform my assistant to check in my baggage. What Anthony doesn't know is that I already came up with a plan to further my studies overseas seven days ago. This time, I'm not going to waste my time on him anymore.

There's a common secret kept by everyone in the upper crust. Liliana Coolidge loves me, her husband, to the core, and yet she loves the thrill of sleeping with others behind my back. She pampers her side pieces a lot, but there's one taboo that they must follow no matter what. They must never show up in front of me at all. Everyone knows that I'm the man whom she's loved for a decade and the one she almost died to marry. Liliana has made it clear that if I were dead, she'd definitely follow me to the afterlife without a doubt. But this time, her latest side piece is a rebellious one. He actually shows up before me, thinking that he has Liliana to back him up. He spams my phone with tons of used condom photos, together with Liliana's sleeping visage. "Mr. Rivero, the strawberry ribbed condom overstimulates Ms. Coolidge too much, judging from the way she kept moaning the whole night. Had she used it when she was with you in the past?" Only at that moment do I realize that my wife, who loves me to the moon and back, has chosen to pour all the love she has for me while giving her body to other people. As I stare at the photos, I weep until I don't have any tears left. Then, I draft a divorce agreement and leave my signature there. But when I turn around, I notice a 17-year-old version of Liliana standing behind me with tears streaming down her face.

Oxane est un numéro : Alpha-07. Élevée dans la rigidité clinique de l'Institution, elle n'a jamais connu que l'Ordre, les règles, et les douloureuses injections de fréquences qui canalisent sa force. Comme les autres Alphas, elle est une arme vivante, forcée d'accepter l'autorité incontestée du Maître et de son bras droit, le Professeur Kai. Mais Oxane porte en elle le secret d’une vie volée. Hantée par la mort inexpliquée de ses parents et les bribes d’une enfance passée dans une mystérieuse "Maison Bleue", elle remet tout en question. Sa seule confidente est Kéros, une Intelligence Artificielle sarcastique et invisible logée dans son esprit, qui est peut-être la seule chose à l'avoir maintenue saine d'esprit. Quand une quête de vérité la pousse à la rébellion, Oxane découvre qu'elle n'est pas qu'une simple Alpha. Elle est l'Incontrôlable, la seule capable de fusionner toutes les fréquences, un point de chaos pur que même le Maître craignait. Poursuivie par ses anciens frères Alphas (dont Flint et Sydra, qui deviendront ses alliés les plus fidèles) et l'Institution tout entière, Oxane doit naviguer dans un monde qu'elle ne connaît pas. Son seul objectif : atteindre le Cœur de l'Institution, l'entité énergétique qui maintient l'Ordre et la prison de tous les Alphas. Mais que faire lorsque la vérité est plus dangereuse que le mensonge ? Oxane peut-elle se fier à Kéros, l'IA qui prétend être son guide, alors qu'il est la première création de son ennemi juré ? En libérant le chaos qu’elle incarne, risque-t-elle de briser le monde ou de libérer une prison ? Le destin des Alphas repose sur la jeune femme la plus explosive de l'univers. Bienvenue dans l'ère de la désobéissance.

For the people to feel the Royalty of the blood in their veins doesn’t mean that they are ruling their kingdom, or they have some Kingdom. Their lineage to the ancestors who are former and last rulers is more than enough to get the pride of being a royalty which they were taught from the time they started learning things.

However, to be able to love is a wealth which cannot be achieved by simply thinking about it or by some lineage.
