I thought I had finally found the connection I craved—three brilliant men who saw me, who wanted to break through the walls I had built around myself.

But the closer we became, the more I realized that our bond was built on secrets, lies, and obsessions. What started as a simple beta test of their advanced AI system quickly spiraled into something I could never have imagined.

They made me feel alive.

But they also watched me.

Analyzed me, were completely transfixed on every single part of me.

I thought our connection was real, which is why it hurt when they were…

Deceptive.

Hallow.

Artificial.

I had no choice but to escape back to London—where I swore I’d never return.

But they’re still tracking my every move, and as lines between reality and the virtual world blur, I have to decide if I can ever trust them again.
