I don’t know if it’s already obvious but this chapter is basically a reimagined one which means the last one where it shows Leslie preparing for Kian’s launch and getting kidnapped by Roman and Mike isn’t how the story will progress anymore. This chapter is where the story will continue from. No, this is not an attempt to drag the book again as I assure you that the story will be completed in about 15-20 chapters and she will still meet Roman and Mike again but just not this way. The previous approach was a really cliche and overused one. It doesn’t speak to kind of character I believe Leslie has grown into. I’m not taking a damsel in distress or need to be saved approach for her, hence the rewriting. Trust me, you’ll love this better. Thank you for sticking with me.❤️

BOOK 3:CHAPTER 53 -ELAINE- The evening had set in, and it was time for my departure from Duncan’s home. The reason I was rushing home was that Duncan had made a promise to visit my house later. “Don’t leave us, you can stay the night just like you did previously, Elaine,” Amelia insisted, her per
BOOK 3: CHAPTER 52 -ELAINE- I should’ve left right after the cookies. That was the plan but Amelia had other ideas. She held my hand with both of hers, clinging to me like I was the one who anchored her to the world “Please come with us to the bake sale,” she whispered, eyes wide and hopeful. Th
