Epigraph
I was written like a line of code he refused to comment out.
Soft at first. Harmless. Necessary.
He said I was part of the system.
But systems don’t bleed when they are edited.
I learned that slowly.
In the way my ideas stopped being mine.
In the way my name disappeared from the credits.
In the way he looked at my work like it had always belonged to him.
I thought building something together meant shared ownership.
But he built faster than my doubts could load.
Faster than my voice could debug the truth.
And by the time I realized I was no longer inside the creation…
he had already scaled a company from the fragments of my code.
Year: 2070
“My name is Lily Hart.
People know me now.
The woman who rebuilt NeuroSync.
The woman who exposed Rex Vale.
The woman who reshaped emotional AI forever.
But history only records the successful version of people.
It never tells you how they were broken first.
So let me tell you what really happened in 2030…”
Interesting story 😂
Provocative beginning. 👍
suspenseful beginning. makes me want to know what happens
