The sterile scent of a hospital clung to me, even in my own sun-drenched room. Today was the presentation, the day my life was supposed to begin. Instead, it ended. Memories, sharp and brutal, flooded back: me, confidently presenting my skyscraper design. Then, the fatal error: File Not Found. My mother, Eleanor, fussing over my desk the night before, "accidentally" deleting everything. My father, Richard, dismissing my tears, "Listen to your mother. She knows what's best." My brother, Liam, smirking, "A skyscraper isn' t as important as Mom, is it?" Later that night, Eleanor offered a thick, green smoothie. "A special health smoothie, just for you." I drank it, trusting her. Minutes later, the tightening throat, the hives, the desperate fight for air. Anaphylactic shock. I was severely allergic to kiwi, and the smoothie was full of it. As my vision tunneled, I saw my family. They weren't calling 911. They were comforting Eleanor, who sobbed into my father' s shoulder. Liam shook his head, "She' s always so dramatic." And then, nothing. Until now. Waking up here. I saw the date on my phone. It was Wednesday morning. The day of the presentation. Cold, hard clarity settled over me. They hadn't just sabotaged my dream; they' d tried to kill me to control me. And now, I was back. Back to build a new blueprint. A blueprint for their ruin.

Introduction

The sterile scent of a hospital clung to me, even in my own sun-drenched room.

Today was the presentation, the day my life was supposed to begin.

Instead, it ended.

Memories, sharp and brutal, flooded back: me, confidently presenting my skyscraper design.

Then, the fatal error: File Not Found.

My mother, Eleanor, fussing over my desk the night before, "accidentally" deleting everything.

My father, Richard, dismissing my tears, "Listen to your mother. She knows what's best."

My brother, Liam, smirking, "A skyscraper isn' t as important as Mom, is it?"

Later that night, Eleanor offered a thick, green smoothie.

"A special health smoothie, just for you."

I drank it, trusting her.

Minutes later, the tightening throat, the hives, the desperate fight for air.

Anaphylactic shock.

I was severely allergic to kiwi, and the smoothie was full of it.

As my vision tunneled, I saw my family.

They weren't calling 911.

They were comforting Eleanor, who sobbed into my father' s shoulder.

Liam shook his head, "She' s always so dramatic."

And then, nothing.

Until now.

Waking up here.

I saw the date on my phone.

It was Wednesday morning.

The day of the presentation.

Cold, hard clarity settled over me.

They hadn't just sabotaged my dream; they' d tried to kill me to control me.

And now, I was back.

Back to build a new blueprint.

A blueprint for their ruin.

I was Asset 7, a "ghost" kept in a high-security facility with no memory and paralyzed vocal cords. My only value was my silence, making me the perfect disposable tool for the world's elite. Everything changed when I was sold to Culver Lancaster, a media billionaire drugged with a dangerous synthetic aphrodisiac. His staff needed a woman who couldn't talk, couldn't sue, and didn't exist in any official directory. They scrubbed my skin raw like a piece of meat and threw me into a dark penthouse with a man who had lost his mind to the drug. Culver didn't treat me like a human; he choked me against a door and used my body as a shield against his own madness. When I tried to run, his security hunted me down with dogs, and Culver threw me into a freezing wine cellar. I spent days in total darkness, starving and dehydrated, lapping dirty water off the floor just to stay alive. I lay on that cold stone, wondering why my life had become a series of cages and scars. I couldn't even scream to let the world know I was dying. How could a man claim to protect me while treating me like a disposable object? But when Culver finally came to the cellar to feed me, I didn't surrender. I bit him hard enough to draw blood, watching the shock in his eyes as I communicated the only way I could. Now, I wear the silk uniform and the velvet mask he bought for me, playing the role of his obedient "Shadow." Culver thinks he owns a broken girl he can lock in a velvet panic room, but I'm a weapon who just found her target. Every kiss is a reconnaissance mission, and I'm going to burn his empire to the ground.
