Divorced in the Dark: The Phantom Designer's Trap
By @john1208
I signed the divorce papers in a cold, echoing hallway, completely exhausted by Tavish’s endless complaints about my 'useless' existence. Good riddance. But the moment his boots faded into the fog, a pale, silent courier handed me a sealed black cylinder. Inside was a blueprint and a letter written in my own handwriting, dated five years ago. It turns out, my past self knew this day would come - and she set a trap so elaborate I had to wipe my own memories to make it work. Now, Tavish's syndicate faces total ruin unless they can secure a massive military contract from the elusive weapons designer who vanished years ago. He is also desperately hunting the legendary hacker 'Zero' to fix his collapsing cyber-network. Watching him scramble to court the very aliases I am slowly remembering how to wear is almost too funny. I can't wait to see his face at the Centennial Banquet when the President of Kravat bypasses him entirely to bow to his 'useless' ex-wife. But as the fog thickens around the testing grounds and the breadcrumbs left by my past self grow increasingly sinister, I have to wonder: what exactly did I build in the dark, and who will survive when I finally turn it on?

By @john1208
Mirela Vesna returned to the drowned city of Olovo after five years of brutal exile, orchestrated by the manipulative Cernak family. She expects a bittersweet reunion with Davorin, her former fiancé. Instead, a morbid wedding invitation arrives by courier, accompanied by a preserved, whispering mourning-moth. At the estate, Davorin begs her to understand: he is marrying a weeping lookalike for duty, but his heart belongs to Mirela. Her response? A cold smile as she drops her priceless engagement ring into a rusted waste-chute and vanishes into the fog. While Davorin's alchemical empire spectacularly collapses without Mirela's hidden stabilizing formulas, she embraces her quietly ruthless nature. Guided by her shadowy moth-hound, Mrak, she proposes a dangerous pact with her former nemesis, Kasimir Vor. But as the mist thickens and their rivalrous banter turns into a dark romance, Mirela realizes her initial exile wasn't just aristocratic cruelty. Her most trusted confidante has been pulling the strings all along. Can Mirela outmaneuver the friend who knows all her secrets, or will the city's toxic shadows consume her first?

For three years, she played the meek, invisible wife to billionaire Kavien Royston, believing her neural “Karma System” would kill her if she used her overpowered abilities.

When Kavien tries to publicly humiliate her at the city's grandest gala, three billionaire tycoons arrive to shield her, calling her 'little sister.'
