The Guy in the Chair (2025-)

The sterile glow of Abhi’s tactical monitors is his entire world, a sanctuary from the field operations he coordinates for Merlin. His quiet obsession with her violates every protocol at their private military company. That sanctuary shatters when she arrives at his door, bleeding and hunted. Forced from his terminal, he is now her only asset in the field. Their flight exposes a coordinated move by their former employer and a network of corporate overlords toward a silent, global seizure of power. Their survival depends on trusting a connection that was never meant to exist outside encrypted channels.
