The neon-drenched cityscape of Veridia pulsed with a rhythm all its own, a symphony of electric hums and holographic whispers. Rain, iridescent under the city's artificial glow, slicked the rooftop where Kai perched, a lone figure against the sprawling, digital canvas. He wasn't admiring the view, though. He was waiting. For Lyra. Lyra, the ghost coder, the enigma wrapped in a leather jacket and a cascade of silver hair. She moved through Veridia's digital underbelly like a phantom, leaving behind trails of shimmering code and whispered legends. He'd only ever seen her in the augmented reality overlays, a fleeting, pixelated goddess. They'd met in the most Veridian way possible: a rogue algorithm, a shared glitch in the city's omnipresent neural network. Kai, a data-streamer with a rebellious streak, had stumbled upon her code, a beautiful, chaotic dance of defiance. He'd followed the digital breadcrumbs, drawn to her energy, her raw, untamed spirit. Tonight, she'd promised to meet him, a real-life rendezvous in the heart of the city's highest district. His heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the city's electric pulse. The rooftop door hissed open, and she was there. Not a pixelated projection, but flesh and blood, a whirlwind of silver and shadow. Her eyes, the color of storm clouds, met his. A jolt, like a surge of raw data, ripped through him. "You're real," he breathed, the words a clumsy whisper. Lyra smirked, a flash of something dangerous and beautiful. "Disappointed?" "Far from it," he said, stepping closer. The air crackled between them, thick with unspoken tension. She leaned against the railing, the cityscape sprawling behind her, a glittering tapestry of light and shadow. "Veridia's a cage," she said, her voice a low, melodic hum. "A beautiful cage, but a cage nonetheless." "You don't belong in cages," Kai replied, his gaze locked on hers. "Neither do you," she countered, her eyes flashing. "You're a rebel, Kai. I've seen your streams. You speak the truth, even when it's dangerous." He shrugged, a nervous laugh escaping him. "Someone has to." "Someone like us," she said, her hand brushing against his. The touch sent a wave of heat through him, a surge of adrenaline that was both exhilarating and terrifying. They talked for hours, their voices blending with the city's hum. They spoke of the corporate overlords, the stifling control, the longing for something real, something raw. Lyra told him of her code, her attempts to disrupt the system, to inject a dose of chaos into Veridia's sterile perfection. "I want to wake people up," she said, her voice filled with a fierce passion. "I want them to see the world beyond the screens, beyond the curated realities." "And how do you plan to do that?" Kai asked, his eyes searching hers. "With stories," she said, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "With code that sings, with narratives that ignite the soul." She pulled out a small, sleek device, a data-chip that pulsed with a faint, blue light. "This," she said, her voice dropping to a whisper, "is a story I've been working on. A story of rebellion, of love, of breaking free." She held it out to him. "Will you help me tell it, Kai?" He took the chip, his fingers brushing against hers. The connection was electric, a spark that ignited a fire within him. He knew, in that moment, that he would follow her anywhere. "Always," he said, his voice filled with a newfound conviction. They stood together on the rooftop, two rebels against the machine, their hearts beating in sync with the city's electric pulse. They were a glitch in the system, a beautiful, chaotic anomaly, and they were ready to rewrite the code. They were ready to tell their story, a story of love and rebellion, a story that would echo through the neon-drenched streets of Veridia, a story that would ignite a revolution.

Chapter 1 The glitch meet

The neon-drenched cityscape of Veridia pulsed with a rhythm all its own, a symphony of electric hums and holographic whispers. Rain, iridescent under the city's artificial glow, slicked the rooftop where Kai perched, a lone figure against the sprawling, digital canvas. He wasn't admiring the view, though. He was waiting. For Lyra.

Lyra, the ghost coder, the enigma wrapped in a leather jacket and a cascade of silver hair. She moved through Veridia's digital underbelly like a phantom, leaving behind trails of shimmering code and whispered legends. He'd only ever seen her in the augmented reality overlays, a fleeting, pixelated goddess.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
