They say time heals all wounds.
But what if time is the crime?
When her sister is found dead under suspicious circumstances, a brilliant but emotionally guarded girl begins digging into the cold silence left behind. Together with Aidan-a clumsy, quick-witted law prodigy with secrets of his own-they chase after a trail of broken watches, all stopped at 9:13 PM.
What begins as a search for justice slowly unravels a far deeper conspiracy-one buried in legal systems, corrupt power, and shattered families. As the mystery deepens, so do the quiet moments between them... the kind that feel like love, but aren't. The kind that could be, but never will be.
Because in a world where nothing is accidental,
even time lies.

Untangled
I slammed the table loudly and groaned out of pain. Not only the pain from the headache I was having right now. But also from the memories flooding my mind as well. I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him. He was really tempting me and I knew it wouldn't be long before I would attempt to pull his face apart and rip out his throat. "Not more than I hate you Alexander Norman. Trust me." He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued. " Your mother married me because I had her secret and I threatened to ruin her with it if she did not give in to my wishes." "And what exactly was her secret?" I asked. "She killed your father." He responded and glanced at me probably waiting for my reaction at what he just said. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Scandals brew in the air once more.
