  Summary

  (edit 4 June 2026
  Chapters will be posted as they are completed. )

   

   

  Two years after receiving a terminal diagnosis, Dr. Viktor Reveck is faced with a new opportunity. Jayce Talis, spokesperson for Talis Industries, and former classmate of 10 years ago, wants to bring him on board to develop a lightning generator that he swears will change the world. But Viktor left any dreams of inventing on the hospital floor. Even moreso, dreams of love. Neither of them expected to catch feelings, especially with their complicated history.

  Their journey to new scientific heights is interrupted by the cutthroat world of business. Turns out trying to start something new – both romantic and otherwise – without establishing a solid foundation is a recipe for disaster.

  Can you still love someone after they betray you?

  Is it worth loving someone as you fade away?
