Stellar Redemption: Leona's second chance.

After tragically falling victim to her husband's violence and betrayal, Leona finds herself inexplicably thrust back in time, granted a precious second chance to rewrite the narrative of her life. Determined to seize this opportunity and carve a path solely for herself, she resolves to steer clear of entanglements with men, vowing to prioritize her own well-being above all else. However, fate has other plans as Zane Orion unexpectedly enters her life, his presence disrupting her carefully crafted solitude. Despite her initial reluctance, Leona finds herself drawn to Zane's magnetic charm and genuine kindness. Yet, the scars of her past still haunt her, casting a shadow of doubt over the possibility of opening her heart once more. As Leona grapples with conflicting emotions and the fear of vulnerability, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, torn between the desire for love and the lingering trauma of her past. Will she ultimately find the courage to embrace love anew, or will the ghosts of her past continue to hold her captive in their grip? [Background is an Interstellar/Space opera world, so CEO urban but in space and better technology]

The reaction is instant and electric. Her body stiffens beneath me, her back arching off the bed as her mouth parts in a silent cry. She trembles violently, and before I fully grasp what's happening, she's coming apart in my hands.

I freeze for a moment, stunned. Did she just—? My hand is drenched, and her chest is heaving as if she's just run a marathon. Her eyes are glazed, unfocused, and she looks utterly wrecked.

I can't help the deep chuckle that rumbles from my chest, a mix of pride and disbelief. I lean in closer, brushing my lips against her flushed cheek. "Are you alive?" I tease, unable to resist.

Her lips move, but the only thing that comes out is a soft, incoherent murmur.

I sit back on my heels, grinning like an idiot. I feel like a god—no, better than a god. A man who just discovered a treasure he didn't even know existed.
