Adrian Vale lives a life of order. A brilliant surgeon, he is respected for his steady hands, sharp mind, and quiet compassion. His days are filled with precision and control-until the Army drags him into a classified assignment that will unravel everything he thought he knew about safety. His new patient isn't a soldier. He's Cipher-the world's most notorious hacker. A legend whispered about in intelligence circles, a phantom who could cripple governments with a few keystrokes. Now captured, Cipher is imprisoned under heavy guard. But the Army quickly learns that chains mean nothing to a man who can rewrite reality from behind a screen. And Cipher has found something-someone-far more important than freedom. He is obsessed with Adrian. The doctor's gentleness, his meticulous order, his frustrating morality-it all becomes Cipher's new code to break, his ultimate puzzle. To the Army, Cipher is a weapon. To himself, he is inevitable. And to Adrian Vale, he is a storm that cannot be ignored. Caught between military demands and Cipher's dangerous devotion, Adrian must choose: stay safe behind walls of resistance, or step into a world where obsession is as sharp as a scalpel, and desire as destructive as a virus. Because Cipher doesn't want to escape. He wants Adrian. And he never fails to get what he wants. Note: This story is my own idea and AI helps me generate the outline
