The Queen Who Haunts My Time(COMPLETED)
I have everything a man could want-wealth, power, control. The skyscraper I own casts its shadow across the city like my signature upon the world. People call me ruthless, but what they don't know is that I've never truly wanted anything... until her.
It happened one stormy night. I was reviewing reports in my glass office when the lights flickered. And there-standing in the middle of my floor-was a woman. Not dressed for this century, but in regal silks and jewels that seemed to shimmer even in the dim glow. Her gaze carried a weight that no model, no heiress, no rival had ever dared lay upon me.
She said her name was Queen Seraphina, a sovereign of a kingdom long vanished in history. A queen who had ruled centuries ago. She claimed the storm tore a hole in time and dragged her here. Madness, perhaps. But the way she held herself-proud, untouchable-made me believe.
From the moment I saw her, I knew she wasn't mine... and that became intolerable.
The board meetings lost meaning. Contracts blurred. I found myself learning her language, her history, her rituals. I locked entire wings of my penthouse just to preserve the space she walked through, as though the future could be shaped around her past.
She resists me, of course. She speaks of duty, of wanting to return to her kingdom, to her people. But every time she says she must leave, I feel my control slipping. She doesn't understand-she's mine now. Fate delivered her to me, not to anyone else.
I watch her when she sleeps, terrified she'll vanish as suddenly as she arrived. I tell myself it's protection, but the truth is darker: I cannot breathe unless I know she is near.
And when she finally looks at me-not as a queen, but as a woman-I swear I will never let time steal her away again.
If I must break history itself, I will.
Because Adrian Velasco always gets what he wants.
And what I want... is her.
