Hello everyone!

So, this is the first ever author's message here on this book, and it feels a little weird because I didn't intend to make any in this book.

I personally find it a little annoying even when I read books. So it's a relatable thing.

I wanted to address a few things, first of, thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for taking the time out to read, to comment and vote. I know we all have our busy lives and the fact that you take time out to read my work means the world to me.

Lately with the book, it feels as though it has been quite repetitive and going around the circle, and I had a few people mention that- which I totally respect. No shade there at all!

The reason why I wanted to focus on Roshan's death is because that's one of the big parts in the story- but that's not what the story is about. It isn't Roshan's story, it's Farya and Moustafa's story.

I promise you - cross my heart- that the story is going to take a drastic turn and as it goes on, you'll soon find yourself re-reading the chapters for the little clues I've left here and there leading towards the final.

There's so much more to the story. Trust me, if you've loved Omar and Naina, Ammar and Aazeen, Khalil and Riley. You guys will love this story just as much, in fact even more.

Moving on, The Fiction Awards are taking place on the 15th May and I really wanted to put Forbidden out there and have all you lovely folks vote for it. It honestly would mean the world to me, if you supported the book and voted for it.

It's actually really simple. If you look on page and follow the instructions. You'll find different categories that you can vote for, and this book Category is Spiritual. Once you get to the spiritual category. You can vote as many times as you want, by tagging my name and this books name in the comments.

We won an award for His Unbroken Ties, let's see if we can do the same for Forbidden - I know we can ;)!

On that note, let's really push to reach our comment goal in the last chapter and you'll soon have an update that you'll be dying to read.

Till then,

Ru
