Hello everyone.

Thank you for giving this book a chance, I hope you enjoy it as much as the other books.

Before starting, I want to specifically mention that this book is not a standalone. It cannot be read on its own. This is a spinoff to Qayamat and you need to know that story before starting this one as this story picks up from where Qayamat ended.

This work is completely mine, coming from my imagination and all the rights for this book are reserved with me. I request people to not copy it.

This book will cater to Harold's story. It's set to begin 11 years after the 'sacrifice'. I will mention where he was for the last decade.

The book is set in the city of Manchester, United Kingdom as Harold (Harry) is British and is from Manchester. The female lead is a new character and she is Indian by ethnicity.

This is an interracial and inter religious book, and I would like to address that I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings by bringing up religion or race. This is just part of a plot, which is why I will keep any hurtful mention of these two things out of the book.

This book is marked mature, and not just for mature themes (I know you all read it anyway), but because this book requires a mature perspective. Make sure to understand that different people have different feelings and understandings, and in this book traumas.

Be accepting to the world and the many forms it comes in. If you do not agree with something, rather than being rude about it, I would request you to try and understand their perspective.

Or if not, as we are all allowed to our own opinions, I would request you to quietly leave. As a person who learns and grows from her mistakes, I believe we do not need to be rude to anyone.

Joëlle will have mentions in the book but make sure to remember this book is not about her. She is dead. This story does not cater to her.

I know some of you people loved Joe and no matter what she did, you do not hate her (which is fine I believe, to each your own. She was an abandoned child who needed and deserved more. But you also need to keep in mind she was willing to kill innocent people for her father's approval.)

She was a layered person. Hate her or love her, that's on you but keep in mind that opinion is not meant for this book.

I also need you people to understand that this book is not about her but about a completely different person. I do not wish to see anyone comparing the two girls with each other.

I see a single person be rude or refuse to accept the new character in the name of loving the old one, you will be blocked. No questions asked. You shouldn't be reading a book you don't like anyway. But I'll make that choice for you if you can't.

Don't read a book if you can't find a single positive thing in it. It's that simple. Some of you only read books to hate and I don't need that miserable energy in my life.

I also want everyone to be extremely mindful of the triggers and the story. This book is not for children (not by age but by mentality). Some of you grown ass people act very rigid to things. Just know who you are and pick your books accordingly.

This book is complicated, deals with a lot of things that take a lot of understanding and patience. Relationships need sacrifice and compromises.

Not everyone gets a Prince Charming and if you are looking for an escape from reality, maybe this book isn't it. It definitely contains some fictional aspects, things that don't happen in the real world but it also contains real problems. Things people face and have to live with.

If you haven't heard of it or seen it before, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. So be mindful. I was the happiest while writing a story that contained flawed and real characters and I want to write something more that relates to reality.

If flawed characters are not your cup of tea or if you get triggered (not by sexual assault coz that is triggering but by just a character not being who you want them to be) then again, not the book for you.

Nothing in this book that could be triggering is glorified. Sexual assault of a minor is part of the story but is not by any of the main characters and is in no way glorified. It is a crime and taboo and is treated as such.

Haphephobia is a condition of extreme fear of touch. This isn't just a phobia though it is called as such. It is an extreme medical condition where people have negative reaction to being touched. Even a slight graze could trigger an extreme reaction. Be mindful.

Cheating would never be a part of my stories.

Thank you, if you are still up for it, please give this book a chance. I would really appreciate your comments to let me know how you feel about the book and it's progress.

Love,

B.
