Chapter 1 AUTHOR'S NOTE

Dear Readers,

I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support and interest in my last novel "The Billionaire's Regret {Regret Series #1} and i would also like to ask of you to also give this one a chance too. Your enthusiasm and encouragement mean the world to me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my writing with you. As you delve into the pages of my book, I want to acknowledge that the content may be intense and potentially triggering for some readers. The story includes themes of kidnapping, bullying, murder, suicide attempt, and psychotic behavior. I want to assure you that these elements are integral to the narrative, but I also understand the impact they can have on individuals who have had similar experiences.

It is important to me that every reader feels heard and understood, and for this reason, I want to provide a trigger warning for these sensitive topics. I encourage you to take care of yourselves as you engage with the story and to reach out for support if needed. Your mental and emotional well-being is paramount, and your feelings about the content are valid.

Once again, thank you for your support and for accompanying me on this literary journey. I hope that my novel resonates with you in a meaningful way, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to connect with each and every one of you through my writing.

With heartfelt appreciation,

STEPHAANEY ❤️
