The Darkest Time Of Night

The Echo of Lost Time

*The Echo of Lost Time* follows the intertwined lives of two architects, Alex Carter and Elena Murphy, whose fates collide after a series of unintentional encounters over seven years. Set against the backdrop of a bustling metropolis, the story explores their personal and professional growth, the choices they make, and the consequences of those choices. Alex Carter is a brilliant but solitary architect who has built a reputation for his innovative designs. Seven years ago, he lost a high-profile project—a cultural center he had poured his heart into—to Elena Murphy, a rising star in the field. Though the rivalry was brief, the sting of that loss lingered with Alex, especially as Elena's career soared in the years that followed. Elena, on the other hand, has always been driven by her desire to prove herself in a world dominated by men. But beneath her confidence lies the unresolved mystery of how she came to win the project that was originally Alex's. She never intended to become his rival, but as the years passed, the shadow of that fateful project continued to haunt her. As time moves forward, their paths cross again and again, yet they never truly connect. Their brief encounters—at conferences, in the city’s construction projects, in moments of fleeting recognition—leave them wondering if the past is truly behind them, or if something greater is at play. When both are invited to a prestigious architecture symposium, the stage is set for a confrontation that could either rebuild bridges or tear down everything they’ve worked for. In a world where time is the ultimate architect, can they both find a way to construct their futures, or will the echoes of lost time continue to haunt them? *The Echo of Lost Time* is a story of ambition, rivalry, love, and the unexpected ways our past shapes our present. It’s a poignant reminder that time doesn’t just pass—it leaves its mark, and sometimes, the most profound connections are forged not by intention, but by fate.

Kiss Of The Night

A College student's soul transmigrated into a renowned Princess of 400 BCE who had a very mysterious and tragic ending. To survive from her obvious doom, she decided to have a lowkey and peaceful life away from royal struggle but she ended up falling in love with the nemesis of that Era, the notorious, ‘Dark Prince’ who was going to be the destroyer and damnation of the whole continent of that century. But, she didn’t know- She was the main reason for his damnation- For her, a lonely Prince turned into a ferocious monster, burning down the numerous kingdoms into ashes. ------ [Extract from the Story] In the solitude of an eerie night, I met that stranger again. He was standing tall and straight like a towering spruce, his profile dark against the moonlight as his long and slender fingers were wrapped firmly around the hilt of his unsheathed sword. His deep voice growled furiously while pulling out the sharp and shining blade from the bandit’s heart, “Aren’t you daring enough to lay your dirty fingers on my woman?” Drops of blood tainted the velvety carpet of the grass and the body of the bandit fell on the ground, numb and lifeless. I was awestruck by the smooth strikes of his sword and it was impossible to steady my erratic pulse. Suddenly, his cold and burning gaze fell on me. Though I never met him before, he still felt the closest person; an inexplicable sense of deja vu washed over me, creating an absurd familiarity that messed up all logic. Approaching me, he cupped my chin tenderly in his warm hand as his thumb gently wiped a drop of blood from my cold cheek, making my body shiver alarmingly. My heart was hammering in my ears and his compelling eyes riveted me to the spot. However, noticing his deep wound, I mumbled in a breathy and concerned tone, “Your injury looks deadly. You need immediate treatment.” A deep chuckle greeted me as he pulled me closer to him, wrapping his strong arms around my waist, "Don't bother about that, My love. Did I make you wait for long?" 'My love!! Is he supposed to be my damn lover?' __________ ‘Death is not a worry of mine Even if I must swallow poison I must have you, …’ ~ Lucian Mavis.
