Life of a fallen genius

Rafiq Ameen was once a teenage science prodigy from Dhaka. Then, after one unforgivable mistake and a final argument that burned every bridge, he vanished. No calls. No messages. No forwarding address. Not even a name left behind.



Ten years later, Rafi is unrecognizable - the coldly brilliant founder of a robotics empire in Tokyo, worshipped for his mind and feared for his silence. His past is locked away in encrypted folders and deleted profiles. As far as the world knows, he started from nothing. And that's exactly how he wants it.



But when a corporate opportunity takes him to Spain - and a quiet, sharp-eyed woman enters his life under a false name - Rafi's algorithmic world begins to destabilize. Isabella, a stranger who challenges his logic at every turn, carries secrets of her own. Secrets involving dynasties, duty, and a name she can't escape.



As Rafi unravels the mystery of who she really is, he's forced to confront the ghost of the boy he used to be - and the family that never stopped waiting, even when he made himself impossible to find.



Spanning high-rises in Tokyo, royal theaters in Barcelona, and back-alley teashops in Dhaka, After the Disconnect is a story of lost identities, unsent messages, and the people we try to forget - even when they never stop loving us.
