Hey my lovelies 💜

I know it’s late — please don’t come for me — but I’ve been working nonstop this weekend and just had to share this with you all.

I’ve added five brand-new chapters between Chapters 15–20, bringing the final manuscript to 25 chapters total. These scenes now have the depth, emotions, and moments I know so many of you were hoping for. It’s all in there — more tension, more magic, more everything.

This is it. The final manuscript.

If you catch anything — typos, timeline hiccups, a sentence that doesn’t sit right — let me know. Otherwise, just enjoy. You’ve all been so patient with me during this process, and I can’t thank you enough.

Now go read. And shoot me a message when you’re done.

Personal Life Update Below:

I know I’ve been quiet for a bit — post-surgery recovery hit harder than I expected, and I really needed the time to rest. But I’m happy to say I’m doing so much better now. Healing well, feeling stronger, and even back at work (where the welcome has been so warm it made me a little teary 🥹).

That also means... cash is about to return to these tired hands 💸 (right after Christmas shopping, of course 😂), and I’m hoping to bring you an art update for the very first time ever!

Big shoutout to my lovely beta reader Vixen for connecting me with an incredible artist!! I can’t wait to share more soon.

Stay tuned. You’ll be the first to know. 💕

Forever thankful,

Antonella ♡
