Locked in

In a city paralyzed by a hyper-inflated housing crisis, the "Algorithm of Allotment" is the only law that matters. When a system glitch assigns two strangers to the same cramped micro-studio in the Watergate complex, the result is a domestic cold war. Mia is a woman on the run. To the world, she is a struggling freelancer; in reality, she is the runaway heiress to the Sereni Empire, fleeing a life of corporate puppetry and a looming forced marriage to a man she has never met. Armed with nothing she is determined to prove she can survive the "real world." Liam is her shadow. A high-level security specialist with an elite background of his own, he was hired by Mia’s father to track and protect her. By hacking the housing registry, he didn’t just find her—he moved in with her. His mission is simple: observe, protect, and wait for the signal to bring her home. As times goes Mia finds herself falling for the "brooding construction worker" who saves her from the shadows, unaware that he is the very jailer she is running from. Meanwhile, Liam’s icy professionalism begins to thaw as he witnesses the strength of the woman he was supposed to "retrieve." The clock is ticking toward a lethal revelation: Liam isn't just her spy—he is the faceless fiancé she was meant to marry. When their true identities inevitably collide, they must decide if their connection is a product of the "glitch" or a destiny they finally want to choose for themselves.
