-Hii. Thank you a lot for clicking that read button. This is my first written story—albeit I wrote a couple firsts in junior school but they're all so cringey and should never see the light of day. *pinches nose*

-I started this story out as a short story. Shanya's name was actually "Desire" and the idea was that she'd be heading home from work at night and a couple of unscrupulous men would corner her. I was barely 17 at the time and had written the story out in a book. But I got stuck and it got discarded for years.

-Then, while rummaging through my things, I saw the book with the story and a whole new idea began to brew.

-I've kept this story all to myself since I finished writing it in the later months of 2020, and bringing my baby out into the world now... it's jarring.

But hey, thanks for just being here.

I've added reminders to vote in every end of a chapter. Sorry if that's annoying! I only did it because Wattpad uses votes as a part of its algorithm for determining story rankings on the Hot List. By voting, you're telling Wattpad you liked the content on that page, so someone else might like it too. However, it's entirely up to you whether you vote or not. This is only a reminder after all:-)

Plus! I reply to comments bc I love interacting with my readers. So expect one from me when/if you do leave a comment.

P.S: I'm a panster. Meaning, I go where the story leads me. If I even attempt to plot and outline my scenes, my mind goes blank and my brain stops working. No joke. So when I say this story is completed, it most likely isn't, lmao.

That being said, I don't mind your creative suggestions and constructive criticisms as I'm always open to improvement!

Who's excited to dive in? Let's go!

~Sarah.
