In This Lifetime

──✩₊⁺⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧── Aaina and Kabir absolutely cannot stand each other. They fight, bicker, annoy each other daily, and somehow still end up in each other’s space every single time. Weirdly enough, the only thing they both love is old historical manuscripts. One Sunday evening, while reading about a forgotten king, his pregnant queen, and the evil brother who stole everything from them, they do the impossible—have one normal conversation. The next day, instead of clocking into work, they get dragged straight into the past. Now they’re stuck in a kingdom on the edge of ruin, with one mission: save the king, protect the queen and her unborn child, and stop the villainous brother from winning this time. Because between sword fights, secrets, chaos, and way too many sacrifices, Aaina and Kabir have another problem—they’re falling for each other. And when the final sacrifice comes, they’ll have to decide: save history… or save themselves. ──✩₊⁺⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧── "So, are you two actually a couple pretending to be enemies?" Aaina scoffed. "Not a chance. My standards aren't dropping that low." Kabir shot her a glare. "Please. Even if you were the last woman on Earth, I wouldn't pick you.” ──✩₊⁺⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧── “I just hope that somehow… in every life, in every version of us, we still find our way back to each other,” Kabir said softly as they parted, unsure if it was a temporary goodbye or something more permanent. ──✩₊⁺⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧──
