OROMA_CALVIN

SYNOPSIS 

He has billions in the bank but no one knows his name.
To the world, Eliot Kane is just a broke barista with a crooked smile and a motorbike that rattles louder than his past. But behind the scratched leather jacket and fake debts, he's the runaway heir to a global empire—choosing anonymity over luxury to uncover the truth behind his father's death.

Enter Rina Maxwell—fiercely independent, brilliant, and determined to rise from the ruins of her family’s fall from grace. When she meets Eliot, sparks fly and tempers clash. She thinks he's just another charming slacker with no ambition. He thinks she's too proud to ask for help—even when the world crumbles beneath her feet.

But secrets don’t stay buried forever. And when Eliot's truth collides with Rina’s struggle, love and loyalty are put to the ultimate test.

How long can a billionaire hide in plain sight... before the world—and his heart—demand the truth?

Berlin's underground lab was silent except for the hum of forgotten machines.

Eliot paced. "All this time… we thought we were rebels. Survivors."

"We were," Rina said. "But we were also subjects."

He turned to her. "Does that mean none of it was real? Our memories? Our bond?"

Rina stepped forward, lifting Eliot's hand to her chest.

"This heartbeat?" she whispered. "It never followed the script."

One document stood out: HeartSync Protocol v.3.7

> Pair bonding achieved. Subject Alpha-R shows emotional override when Alpha-E is in danger.

Conclusion: Emotional growth beyond parameters. Memory-based love is now independent.

"They tried to program love," she said. "And it… grew beyond them."

"You fell for me," Eliot said, voice quiet.

"No," she replied. "I chose you. Even when I wasn't supposed to."

Suddenly, alarms rang through the bunker.

Elowen's voice buzzed through comms: "Get out! The Replicant Force just traced your location. They want the HeartSync core."

Eliot grabbed the prototype cube—the last piece of tech linking their souls.

Rina nodded. "Let's finish what they started."

They ran—hand in hand—this time not as experiments, but as people who defied design.
