Undercover Hearts: Casefile Zero
Everything I ever chose, they chose first. My defection. My cover. The man I'd fall for years before we ever met. I thought I went rogue the night I caught The Veil hijacking my own operation, turning a financial weapon loose on millions of innocent people. Turns out a machine had already filed me under useful, right beside a burned American spy, a hacker they buried alive, and a climber they left for dead on a mountain. Four strangers. Four breaking points. One algorithm that engineered every single one, then sat back to watch us crack. We were never supposed to find each other. They even ran the math on us—paired me with him at ninety‑four percent and bet our hearts would be the crack that broke us all. Now we have the file that proves it. Case Zero. The only variable the math never ran is what four assets do when they stop running and start hunting back. But the system still holds the leverage it built me around. If I pull this thread, the little sister I defected to protect pays for every move I'm about to make.
