LOGINLena Carter believed she finally had her life under control—until a single evening shattered everything. A mysterious will, a multi-billion-dollar empire, and a man more dangerous than any secret force her into a world she never knew existed. Noah Carter is young, outrageously wealthy, and ice-cold. The press calls him the aloof heir to one of Europe’s most powerful family dynasties. Yet behind his amber eyes lurks something darker: a truth buried for decades—and Lena stands at its very center. As a forbidden passion ignites between them, things begin to happen that should be impossible. Touches trigger flashes of silver light. The dead return. Memories surface of events that could never have taken place. And suddenly, Lena discovers that her life is part of a cruel experiment spanning generations. Worse still: she is pregnant. But the child she carries could be the key not only to a multi-billion-dollar fortune—but to a power for which people will kill, lie, and even break the very fabric of time. Trapped between two versions of the same man, a secret organization, and a love that has already failed across four lifetimes, Lena must make a choice: Does she trust the man she loves? Or the man who claims to have known her before she was even born? A passionate novel filled with forbidden love, dark family secrets, time loops, and a truth that could destroy everything. Some love stories end with a kiss. This one begins with a death.
View MoreThe rain was so violent against the windshield of my old car,
I couldn't see the road. My fingers clipped the steering wheel, while my look at the small white box on the passenger seat fell. That was the ring. The ring I had hidden in my purse for three months because I today had finally found the perfect moment to tell Daniel Hayes that I yes. Not that he ever asked me. Daniel and I have been together for six years. Since college. Since the days, when we shared cheap noodles and dreamed of a better life at some point to have. He had always said if he had the right job, he would have me married. And I always waited. Patience. Trust me. Today he wrote to me: “Come home sooner. I have a surprise for you.” My heart beat faster all day. Even in Adrian's office Blackwood, where a nightmare was every minute, I smiled. My boss was Tyrann, who himself felt the breathing of his employees as a personal insult. But today I didn't care how many times he yelled at me. Because I thought Daniel would finally make an application today. A stupid naive girl. When I parked in front of our apartment, the living room was bright. A warm, golden lights behind the curtains. My heart fluttered. I took the Ring box in the hand, my crumbled dress smoothly and smiled even though I was completely soaked. Maybe he lit candles. Maybe he was standing there with flowers. Maybe it's gonna be okay today. I barely closed the apartment door, I heard it. A quiet sound. A rag. Then a laugh. Female. I stared. My breath stopped. For a moment, I thought the TV was on. or maybe a video on his phone. But then I heard Daniel's voice. Deep. Heiser. Trust me. “You’re crazy, Mia.” Mia. My whole body was freezing. The ring box glittled out of my hand and fell on a dull sound Floor. I moved along the hall like in trance. Every step felt like I walk through water. Slow down. Hard. Unreal. The bedroom door was open. And I wish I never bumped them. My fiancée was in our bed. Naked. His back was sweaty, his hands glitted over a woman's waist, he was lying — a woman whose long black hair I would recognize everywhere. My sister. Mia Carter turned his head to the door. Her lips were swollen, her cheeks roasted. And instead of showing shame, she smiled. A fucking smile. Daniel drove around. His face lost any color. ‘Lena—’ I didn't know who yelled about us first. Maybe I. Maybe he. Maybe only at this moment everything collapsed in me. “What the hell is that?” My voice trembled so much that I barely myself recognized. Daniel jumped out of bed, grabbed panicky after his pants. “It’s not like ‘ I laughed. A bitter, ugly sound that sounded more like a gorge. “Not as it looks?” I pointed to the bed. “You fuck my sister in our bed, Daniel! What is that supposed to look like?” Mia slowly pulled the blanket over her naked body, but her face remained cold. Almost bored. “You are exaggerating,” she said. I stared at her. My own blood pressure went out into my ears. “Exaggerated?” She licked with her shoulders. “He hasn’t loved you for a long time, Lena. You were just too blind to notice.” These words hit me harder than a blow. Daniel hit her. “Mia, shut up!” But it was too late. I looked at him. And in his eyes there was not the shock of a man who had made mistakes. It's the fault of a man who's been lying for a long time. My knees were soft. “How long?” I whispered. Daniel was silent. I step back. “How long, Daniel?” His gaze lowered. And that was exactly the answer. Mia smiled again. This cruel little smile. ‘Seven months’; I got sick. Seven months. Seven months I had overtime to pay our bills. Seven months I had believed him when he said he had to work longer. Seven months my own sister had embraced me, drank coffee with me and so as if she were my family. My chest pulled together painfully. Daniel approached me. ‘Lena, please —’ “Don’t touch me!” I cried so loud that even I licked together. Tears ran over my face, but I didn't know them. I didn't want to they cry. Not before these two. I turned around and ran. Barefoot. Without a jacket. Without a bag. Daniel called my name behind me, but I didn't stop. Only when I stood out in the rain, in the middle of the parking lot, I realized that I trembling. My whole life was in this apartment. Six years of love. Six years of victim. Six years of lies. My phone vibrated in my coat bag. I pulled it out with numb fingers. A message. By Adrian Blackwood. Just one sentence. “If you come too late tomorrow, you don’t need to appear first.” I stared at the words. Then I laughed hysterically. My friend betrayed me. With my sister. And my ruthless billionaire boss threatened me in the middle of my collapse with termination. At this moment I didn't know that exactly this man was my life in a few would completely destroy days. Or that I would wear his darkest secret soon. In my stomach.A year passed. Slowly. And yet, far too quickly.--- The forest remained.--- The paths remained.--- The houses were still standing.--- But they had changed.--- Or perhaps it was the people.--- Aren didn’t know.--- Some changes couldn’t be measured.--- You could only feel them.--- And that was exactly how it was with Eichenruh.--- The house still stood among the trees.--- But the doors no longer slammed shut on their own.--- The clocks no longer ticked.--- And the hallways no longer felt like places waiting for someone.--- For the first time, Eichenruh was simply a house.--- An old house.--- A quiet house.--- A peaceful house.--- Aren visited it anyway.--- Not every day.--- Not even every month.--- But often enough.--- Because some places became part of a person.--- Just as some people became part of a story.--- He wasn’t alone that morning.--- Mira was there.--- And Jonas.--- Kai.--- Elio.--- Even Leon.--- They stood in fron
Elias disappeared. Not in a flash. Not in a storm of magic. Not in a dramatic resolution of light.He was just there.And then no more.As if the forest had taken a deep breath.And gently carried him away.The door was closed.The black key was restless in the castle.The ruins of the tower stood still.No more light.No votes.No whisper.Just wind.An ordinary wind.For the first time in a long time.Nobody spoke.The group was on the spotlight.And stared at the place where Elias had stood.Aren didn't know how long they stayed there.Minutes.Maybe hours.Time suddenly felt different.Calm down.Lighter.Then Leon came forward.He slowly went to the door.Put a hand on the cold stone.And closed the eyes.“Thank you.” he whispered.Nobody asked if he spoke to Elias.Or forgetting.Or his brother.Maybe with everyone.Then something strange happened.A little noise.Very quiet.Like paper in the wind.Aren looked down.There was a leaf between the stones.It wasn't there befor
Elias went on. Slow down. Easy. With the black key in the hand.No one stopped him.No one called his name.Nobody tried to convince him.Because trust sometimes meant that:Let someone decide.The forest was now filled with golden light.The trees seemed like shadows.The world seemed ineffective.Like they're between two stories.The old one.And the new one.Elias reached the glow in front of the tower.Or what was left of him.There were stones everywhere.Broken walls.Weathered columns.Centuries of history that became dust.And in the middle of it stood the door.Open.Waiting.The millions of voices behind it continued to whisper.Not loud.Not demanding.An endless marble.Like rain.Like wind.Like memories.The group stayed a few meters back.Only Leon came closer.Not next to Elias.Behind him.As a companion.Not as a guard.That was an important difference.Elias noticed.And smiled weakly.“You really trust me.”Leon nodded.‘Yes.’“Why?”The answer came immediately.
‘Elias.’ The name remained in the room.Not like a spell. Not like a prophecy.Just like a name.And that's why he was so important.Because names made people from stories.And from loneliness someone you could talk to.Elias.For the first time, the being had not only millions of memories.For the first time it had its own.His.Outside the forest changed.The lights moved more slowly.Calm down.No more aimless.Not looking anymore.Like they felt something had happened.Something significant.Something that even understood the tower.For even though further stones fell down, his lamp seemed different.Softer.Warmer.Almost peaceful.Leon joined Elias.The two stood on the window.The man who had been waiting for decades.And the being that had waited for decades.“I hated you.” said Elias quietly.Leon nodded.“I know.”‘Very long.’“I know.”“Sometimes I imagined how to force you to stay with me.”Silence.Leon didn't answer.Because honesty didn't need defense.Then Elias smi
