I Wish I Knew Then

In the heart of a bustling city, in a penthouse that had once symbolized isolation, a new fairytale began. It wasn't a fairytale of dragons and knights, but one of vulnerability and trust, of overcoming past hurts and daring to believe in love again. Connor Sterling, the CEO recluse, had finally found his princess, not in a gilded castle, but in a simple coffee shop, in the form of a book-loving student named Maya, who showed him that even in the most cynical heart, a fairytale ending was still possible. And sometimes, the most beautiful fairytales are the ones that unfold in the most unexpected places, with the most unexpected people.

When his beloved wife Charlotte dies unexpectedly, his world fractures, leaving him lost in a haze of memories and sorrow. But grief does not grant him solitude. An old acquaintance, Sir Harold, pleads for Samuel’s help—his daughter, a journalist, has vanished without a trace. As Samuel searches for her, he is drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, where truth is elusive, reality warps, and unseen forces seem to manipulate fate itself. His pursuit forces him to confront his own demons, his wife’s enigmatic final words, and the possibility that the world he thought he knew is a carefully constructed lie. With each step deeper into the mystery, Samuel finds himself at the precipice of something beyond mere human understanding—where faith and reason collide, where the dead whisper truths, and where destiny is not just written, but sealed. Can Samuel unravel the secrets buried beneath time itself? Or will he, like so many before him, become another lost witness to a fate he was never meant to escape?
