The Heirs I: Nothing Absolutely Makes Sense [✔]

Status: Completed

Cerys Montclair was once a Joseon princess---adored, betrayed, and fated to die before she could ever grow old. Every lifetime since, she's been cursed to return, carrying the weight of a love story that never survives.

Now, she's reborn as the heir to Montclair Sciences, a billion-dollar legacy resting on her shoulders. She no longer remembers her past life; all she knows is that college already feels like an uphill battle against her own sanity. The last thing she needs is another breakdown, or another haunting dream of a man whispering her name as she dies in his arms.

But the past never really stays buried.
It bleeds, it follows, it claws.

When she meets Yi-an, it feels like relief. His face, his voice, his very presence matches the man from her dreams, the one she's been searching for all this time. She thinks that her dreams were memories of a past she couldn't remember, and their unfinished story might find its way to a new ending.

Except there's something she can't explain...

Ron Eliezer Alcantara. Yi-an's best friend. The quiet one with sharp eyes and sharper words, who never speaks to her unless it's to throw a jab. He's not the man in her visions. But... his voice gets under her skin, his gaze unsettles her in ways she can't ignore, and whenever he's near, her heart stumbles against an instinct she doesn't understand. He keeps his distance, but it always feels like he knows far too much.

He shouldn't matter. He shouldn't even make her nervous. And yet, everything about him makes less sense the longer she's around him.

Because her dreams may point to Yi-an---
But her heart keeps betraying her whenever Ron is near.
