Glitch In Our Horizon

"Every stable system has a ghost. Every perfect build has a bug you can't fix."

At twenty-six, Jace Gabriel Mercado is the engineer of his own empire. As one of the founders of NARA, he is the success story whispered about in the glass-walled offices of the North Nexus Building. He has built his reputation on logic, syntax, and a relentless drive to climb-finally reaching the summit where the air is silent and the view is expensive.

He has the status. He has the security. He has the perfect build.

But even the most stable system has a ghost.

For Jace, that ghost is Mirabella Louise Santiago-the only "variable" his algorithms could never solve. Four years ago, he was a fresh graduate with nothing but a dream and a heart of a poet. She was the Psychology graduate with a crushing family name and expectations that didn't have room for a "risk" like him.

She chose the safety of her name. He spent 1,460 days building a name of his own.

Now, a single digital shadow on a silent midnight threatens to bypass all his firewalls. Jace has finally achieved the "Security" Mira's family demanded, but as he stares at the success logs of his life, he realizes he is still running a background process he can't kill.

He's reached the top, but the build is haunted.

In a world of high-stakes prestige and calculated moves, Jace is about to learn that you can rewrite your future, but you can never truly delete the past.

Because in a life of perfect calculations, she remains the only glitch he never wanted to fix.
