Chapter 1 A Chance Encounter

The rain pattered gently against the windows of the cozy little café on Maple Street, creating a rhythmic melody that felt soothing amidst the chatter of patrons. Lily sat in her usual corner; a steaming cup of chamomile tea cradled in her hands. She often found solace in the quaint atmosphere, especially during the gloomy winter months.As she gazed out the window, her thoughts drifted to the manuscript she was trying to finish.

The story of a love that transcended distance and time had been spinning in her mind for months, yet the words seemed to slip through her fingers like water.Just then, the door swung open, and a gust of wind followed, sending a shiver through the café. In walked a tall figure, shaking off the droplets of rain from his dark hair. He looked around, his striking blue eyes scanning the room before landing on Lily. There was something familiar about him, something that stirred a flutter within her chest."Is this seat taken?" he asked, gesturing to the empty chair across from her.Lily managed a smile, even though she was caught off guard. "No, it's all yours," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.In that brief moment, amidst the steam rising from their cups and the sound of the rain, Lily felt something spark between them-a glimmer of something beautiful, something that felt so true.He settled into the chair, his presence instantly changing the dynamic of her secluded corner. "I'm Jake, by the way," he said, offering a charming smile that made her heart skip a beat. "Just moved to town and looking for a good cup of coffee-or maybe something more adventurous."His easy demeanor put her slightly at ease, and despite her initial reluctance to engage, curiosity piqued. "I'm Lily. I come here a lot to write," she admitted, motioning to her notebook.Jake leaned in, intrigued. "A writer? What do you write about?"Lily hesitated, feeling a mix of vulnerability and excitement. "A love story... about two people who find each other against all odds.""Sounds captivating. You must have a lot of inspiration." His eyes sparkled with interest, and for a moment, the world outside faded away.As they shared stories about their lives, the hours slipped by unnoticed. Jake talked about his adventures traveling across the country, exploring remote towns and meeting fascinating people. Lily opened up about her dreams of publishing a novel and the creative struggles that often accompanied it.Each laugh they shared echoed like a melody, and the chemistry between them felt palpable. They discovered mutual interests-favorite books, shared passions for music, and even a love for the same obscure indie film. Each topic layered their conversation, making it rich and vibrant.In that brief moment, amidst the steam rising from their cups and the sound of rain cascading outside, Lily felt something spark between them-a glimmer of something beautiful, something that felt so true. It was as if their meeting was fated, a small intersection of their lives that held the potential for something profound.As the café began to empty and the rain softened to a drizzle, Lily realized that she didn't want this moment to end. Maybe today was the day her story would finally take a turn toward the unexpected.

Gianna Benton, a woman who came from a great family, a family with ancient history, had always lived a life that's overshadowed by her younger sister, Quinn. After her unfair death with her unborn baby at the hands of the man she loved, Gianna got reborn. Now with the opportunity to live again, Gianna rejects her mate and gives herself to alpha Axel, falling into an unexpected contract marriage. Both plans to use each other, and falling in love isn't part of the deal for them. Gianna plans to get her revenge on her former lover, alpha Nathan, who killed her in the past because of her younger sister, but surprisingly to her, alpha Nathan wants his mate back, and Gianna is determined not to let the past repeat itself. ------------------------------------------------- "Is this hell?" "Gianna, what's wrong with you? I know that you are excited, but you need to stop acting weird." Mom said. I reach out my hands to touch her face, but she slaps my hands away. This is real, I thought. Somehow, I have gone back in time to the day I got married to Alpha Nathan. "I need to take a picture of you, but I can't do it without your sister. Wait here for me while I go get your sister." Mom left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. My hands formed a fist in anger as I thought of Quinn and Alpha Nathan. I don't know how I have traveled back to the past, but I'm not going to let myself make the same mistake I did in my past life; I'm not getting married to alpha Nathan. No matter what, I need to put a stop to this wedding.
