You at the End of Eternity

Lynette Aterne, the only princess of the Kingdom of Ortia, was nothing more than a broken product in reality.
After enduring violence for so long, she had only one goal:

To leave this kingdom behind and stand on her own.

But then, her former lover—the man she had once agreed would forever walk a parallel path from hers—appeared before her again.

Carlisle Preston.
The only person she had ever considered truly hers, the one before whom she could reveal even the ugliest parts of herself.

“Why are you still in Ortia? Did you miss me or something?”
“You’re still hanging around with that b*stard Louis Napier. Even after I warned you so many times.”

No matter how hard she tried to ignore him, Carlisle kept provoking Lynette.

And on the day the one thing she most desperately wanted to hide from him was exposed,
Lynette witnessed something utterly shocking.

⸻

“Didn’t you know? You were my goal from the very beginning. Lynette, only you.”

Without realizing it, Lynette staggered backward.

Carlisle’s eyes remained obsessively fixed on her alone.
As though the years they had spent apart had never existed.
As though, from the moment he was born, she had always been the only thing he ever wanted.
