Chapter 012✧

As Cale entered the room, his world seemed to come crashing to a halt. His breath caught in his throat as he laid eyes on the woman with black hair and those familiar, piercing blue eyes. She was sitting there, laughing and chatting with Amiru, as if she had never left.

Time felt suspended, as if the universe had conspired to confront him with a reality he had never dared to dream of. He couldn't move; his heart pounded in his chest as a thousand questions raced through his mind.

Su-Jin? How could it be? Cale's thoughts spiraled into a chaotic whirlwind. He struggled to maintain a stoic exterior, but inside, his emotions were in turmoil. He had believed, with every fiber of his being, that Su-Jin was gone, lost to him forever.

But as Cale observed Diana, he couldn't ignore the undeniable truth. Every fiber of his being recognized her as his wife. His gut feelings screamed at him, and the details of her face, her mannerisms, her laughter-it was all Su-Jin, his beloved wife, right here, right now.

Cale couldn't bring himself to believe it. All the dreams, the memories of their time together, the pain of her loss, they all collided with the reality of her sitting before him, alive and smiling. It was a whirlwind of emotions that threatened to overwhelm him, but he fought to maintain his composure.

He couldn't tear his gaze away from her, his heart aching with a mix of joy, disbelief, and a deep, profound hope that he had buried long ago. Su-Jin was here, but how? Why? These questions gnawed at his soul, but for now, he could only watch, his stoicism hiding the storm of emotions raging within him.

Diana's voice fell silent as she noticed Amiru's attention shift elsewhere. Her thoughts raced, and her heart pounded in her chest.

"It can't be right?" Diana whispered to herself, grappling with the overwhelming emotions surging within her.
