Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2381

Shannon had once thought about returning to the alternate world to see Adam again, but Thalia had told her she had used a dreammaker talisman to erase every memory he had of them before Vlad had come for them.

To Adam, their time together was nothing more than a fleeting dream. Now, the dream had long since ended.

He had long forgotten who Shannon or Thalia was. Frankly, they were nothing more than a brief, illusory dream now.

"Since we can't stay, neither Mom nor I should appear before him again."

Everyone in the alternate world had their own, distinct life. Shannon wasn't opposed to Thalia's action either. If she were in her shoes, she would've done the same thing.

Oblivion was the best gift they could give to alternate Adam.

"Let's go."

Shannon had no plan of checking out the passenger in the car or greeting him. Instead, she simply took Benjamin's hand and bypassed the vehicle, just like regular pedestrians.

In the alternate world, it was the season of falling blooms. White petals drifted gently along the wind. The couple held hands as they passed by Adam, separated only by the glass of the car window.

At some point, the window had been cracked open just slightly, and a single delicate white petal floated in from outside, landing silently in Adam's palm.

He didn't look at it. His gaze, steady and unreadable, locked onto the rearview mirror as it fixed on the figure walking away from him.

He watched her walk without turning back and noticed the way her fingers laced perfectly with someone else's.

After a momentary silence, he looked away and softly muttered, "That should be her boyfriend."

He then replied to himself, "Right, right. She's at the age where she should be dating…"

In a way, he had also met his "future son-in-law".

…

Thalia had indeed erased all traces of her from Adam's memory, turning everything that happened after her arrival into nothing more than a dream.

He was meant to wake from that dream and forget it all—the 18 years she spent stalking him, or the promises he had made to care for her and her daughter.

All of it, the absurd, fleeting dream, was supposed to be reduced to a figment and oblivion.

Unbeknownst to Shannon, Vlad had planted another dream in its place.

That dream, triggered the moment a single drop of blood from the original Adam pierced the domain and entered his body, began to stir.

In it, he saw the life he could've had—a different version of himself, the world, and the love he didn't have.
