As the night deepened, Irene left her office briefly to look out over the city. Lights twinkled, cars rushed by, and life went on as usual. No one suspected the chaos that would erupt tomorrow, the empire that would crumble, the lives that would be upended—all by the calculated hand of Iridna. She whispered the name to herself once more, a promise and a declaration. “Iridina is back. And nothing will ever be the same.”

"We don't have a choice" I saw the flash of Damien's car light and I knew he was back. I was seating by the big window. It's a nice view from here. Can see almost all of Miami. I looked at the book in front of me. I've read it twice today. The room door opened and I picked the book gluing it to my face. Damien shuffled around and then approached me.

He stared at it in concern while she shrugged his worry away. "Oh! It's just a little burn. Don't worry about it." Reaching out his hand, he took hold of her wrist and headed to a room. "Let's go.

Before long, Richard and I took Megan and walked away. Just as we stepped out of Fortunecrest Hotel, Timothy chased after us and called out my name. "Hope!" I had Richard take Megan to wait in the car first. After all, the November nights were getting quite chilly. Richard offered no verbal reply but nodded silently; he respected and trusted me.

World line reshaped. Do you choose to return?] The long-forgotten system alert sounded. I stood and looked at Xavier’s smiling face on the tombstone one last time. “Goodbye, Xavier. Goodbye, this world.” Then, I said, “Yes.” … White light flashed, and I returned to the real world.

I have never been retrieved. "You are retrieved now," Eliana said. "Yes." He turned to her, and his eyes were blue, fully blue, the blue of a dawn that had never been permitted in the dark country. "And I find that I do not know the way back. I have always known the way forward. The way into the dark. The way toward the end. I have never walked the path of return." "Then we will show you," Eva said. "The way back is not a path. It is a weave. And we know the pattern."

The day the university released the family placement positions for doctoral graduates, I went straight to the Human Resources Office to register. But the staff member barely looked up before rolling their eyes. "Mr. Slater, everyone at this university knows you cheated on your wife and are about to leave the marriage with nothing. How do you still have the nerve to ask about the placement position?" I thought there had been some kind of misunderstanding.

" My eyes flew open to see Sophia standing before me, still alive and breathing. She was wearing an elegant long dress and had her hair pulled up in a high ponytail, radiating youthful energy. Even so, her eyes were unable to hide their contempt. The Sophia from my future was mature, cold, and unapproachable, but this version of her was bright and spirited, still carrying a touch of liveliness. A lump formed in my throat when I laid my eyes on her. The time machine had indeed brought me back to the past, but unfortunately, it seemed to have malfunctioned. Instead of returning to when we first met, I had arrived thirteen years in the past, on the day Sophia and I were about to be married. Tha
