Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

Alyssa Andrews is a junior at Yellowfield University who studies psychology. Her life mostly consists of going to classes, making straight As, and being the classic "good girl." That is, until she makes the mistake of enrolling in two of Professor Caroline Wilson's classes. Professor Wilson is cold, calculated, cruel, and doesn't believe in comfort. Not only does she fail students with the rigor of her courses, she breaks them down mentally, shaming them in public with methodical precision. She is a strictly scientific neuroscientist who clashes with Alyssa's purely emotional and warm demeanor. Dr. Wilson sees Alyssa's empathy as a weakness, and Alyssa sees Dr. Wilson's brutality as unforgivable. Professor Wilson is forced to mentor her. Alyssa is forced to suffer through it. Alyssa sees Dr. Wilson as the antithesis of everything she stands for. So why can't she stand being away from her?

This time aware of the love that has followed them across centuries and the pain that has never let go. The world around them is chaotic, their wounds deeper, and the forces trying to keep them apart more relentless than ever. But rather than surrender to destiny, they are determined to fight; to finally end the cycle and claim the love that has haunted their souls through time. Will this lifetime be the one where love finally wins?
