Detective Evelyn Hart was the sharpest mind on the force, known for her relentless pursuit of justice. But when she got too close to uncovering the truth behind the Ridgewood ritualistic killings, the cult silenced her forever. That was supposed to be the end-until a twist of fate brought her back. Evelyn now exists in a liminal space, tethered to the world of the living through an old landline. Every night at 9 PM, it rings, connecting her to five teenagers from the future, who've stumbled upon the same chilling case.
Evelyn becomes their guide, her experience illuminating the dark paths they must tread. For the teens, solving the case is about justice; for Evelyn, it's a race against time to stop the cult and rewrite her fate. As the clock ticks down, secrets unravel, and past and future collide in a desperate fight to expose the darkness before it claims them all.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
