"You changed that too?" "Completely." I folded my hands. "The marriage will last twenty-four months." Matteo finally looked up. I noticed immediately. For the first time since I walked into the room, he was paying attention. I continued.

Stefan snapped, as he crouched to the floor beside me. “You don’t always have to play the hero, no one’s around to see this,” I responded with an eye roll trying to pull myself back up on my feet. “If you’re trying to get yourself killed, try jumping off a cliff, that would help save us all the stress of wondering what the hell had caused the death,” “Obviously she fell,” He said sarcastically. “Whatever!” I snapped back and then managed my way up to my feet as I turned to leave. “One more thing,” Stefan said, grabbing me by the wrist. “Never take your ring off!” He growled.

Later, at the banquet, I looked around and did not spot Iris anywhere. As I turned, I bumped into Damon's arms, his familiar scent sending a jolt through me. Memories came flooding back, overwhelming me like a tidal wave. The agony of my previous life with Iris was inescapable. In my previous life, Iris had tampered with my meds, knocking me out with wolfsbane and landing me in a clinic. Damon was frantic, begging the healer for help. He punched Iris right in the face, his voice thundering as he shouted, "She should never have been yours!"

His face turned pale, his breath quickened, and his hand gripped the device as if afraid it was only a dream.

The small screen lit up, displaying a few short sentences that could not be interpreted as a system error.

Because of him, I finally lived freely. Two lifetimes of entanglement ended in this one. Winter snow always melted, and spring always came. —The End

After all, she was a member of the royal family. Eligible for Immortality. A scientist preparing for the role she would play in Atlantian government to help bet-ter their world. How clueless she’d been in her altruism. Rod floated behind the coral table at the far side of The Coliseum with the rest of The Council, including his wife, Valerie. The rest of the Tritone family—Reel and his wife, Erica; Mom and Dad; her younger sister, Pearl—sat in the seats behind The Council. Everyone except Mariana. Her older sister was taking this harder than any of them.

If I gave him a chance to explain that thing, maybe Millie would grow up together with her father. If only I had chosen to do that, maybe those five years wouldn't be wasted in our lives. I looked at Ferry when she stood beside me and put her arm on my shoulder. Beside her is Castiel who was giving me a sweet smile. Girls…” “It is not too late, Milan,” Ferry said. “You still have a chance to make it right.

How could she have been such a fool in her previous life to be exploited by Cooper again and again? She was the one who had walked into the routine traps he set. In the end, she even dragged Tyler into it and caused both of their deaths. Although she was somehow given a miraculous second chance in life, some of the trauma still remained.

I had thought that I would never see her again, and yet, here she was. "Darla," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "It's been so long." She looked up at me, her eyes searching mine.
