No one knows. We always think that if lord gives us another chance, allowing us to go back to the past, to start over, we can correct our mistakes, control our fate, and have our time again, not realizing that in the myriad of timelines, we may have already reached a fork of the destiny, we have been losing each other.

Es la primera que hago así que espero la disfruten al leerla tanto como yo al escribirla. Más que una historia simple de amor, hay conspiraciones, identidades secretas, traiciones y batallas, con tecnología ficticia y una protagonista que pudiera parecer débil pero es más fuerte que ninguno. Tenemos tres protagonistas masculinos, el eterno mejor amigo enamorado Carlos, el compañero de batallas Benedek y su primer amor que desapareció misteriosamente Alejandro. "El amor es importante pero las paz lo es más" Elena. ¿ quien ganara esta batalla? ¿ quien conquistará a la impredecible Elena? La imagen no es mia, derechos de autor a quien le corresponda. Gracias por leerme!!!
