Before you continue, there's something I need to tell you.
Everything you've read from Chapters 1 to 14…
None of it actually happened.
It was a vision.
Lucian saw it all through the crystal ball — Amara falling in love with him, the curse reigniting, and her dying again.
And he couldn't bear it.
So he made a choice:
To stay away. To not become a professor. To not exist in her world at all.
This is where the real story begins.
A different path. A new outcome. Maybe.
Let's see what happens when fate is tested — not by magic, but by choice.**
