She Streams on My Platform — Episode 5: His Real Name

Marcus is gone, and Annie wants answers. Was he hunting Liam? Yes. But one word about who he really is, and Liam loses everything. 'Then you're a stranger.' She gave herself to a man she can't even name, and the tears finally fall. Alone, Liam takes a strange call. A voice passes on advice from a man Liam buried: whatever Marcus threatens, don't speak first. Then the caller slips, swapping 'says' for 'said'.

Three days later, Marcus rings Annie again. Who lives with her? A tenant. Nobody. Name. 'Liam... Low.' Low was a name from Liam's past, Marcus purrs. The real one is Liam Vale, the man who owns the platform she streams on. Her debt is wiped. But tomorrow, live on her stream, Marcus will brand her a thief unless Liam speaks first. In Episode 5 the AI faces finally crack. 'Liam Vale.' 'Who told you that?'
