Imam had never seen him before, but the strange thing was that he was constantly looking at the man.

Chapter 2: The First Conversation
After a while, the same stranger came closer to her table.
“You are Imam, right?”
Imam was surprised. “Yes, but how do you know me?”
The man smiled. “Sometimes some faces remain in the heart forever.”
Imam felt something strange, as if she had known this person before, but where?

“This…what is all this?” Emma’s voice was trembling.
Alexander said softly: “I’ll tell you everything, but promise me you won’t run away in fear!”

“Love has a strange way of finding us when we least expect it. For Mia and Ethan, it happened on a quiet autumn afternoon in a small café.

A small accident—her coffee nearly spilling onto his drawing—was all it took to spark a conversation that would change their lives.”

“What do you mean? I do not know anything about a secret!”

“That file! That file was against a corrupt politician, who I hid with my friend!”
Alexander shook her head – “And your friend was killed. You survived, but your memory was erased so that you could not be a threat.”
