Michaela's demeanor shifted, her smile morphing into something more sinister. "Given the power to change the past," she continued, her voice dripping with a perverse sweetness, "why not seize it and forge a new destiny?"

Eve's gaze remained resolute as she rejected the tempting proposition. "Even if granted the opportunity, I will not alter a single thing."

A sneer played across Michaela's lips as she taunted Eve. "Not even if it granted you the love of your life?" she jeered, trying to exploit the longing that Eve had harbored deep within her heart.
