To my amazing Wattpad fans, who have been there since the beginning, and to my beautiful, supportive friends and family—you've all been my rock.

I've been procrastinating on writing this book since 2021, and it has taken me almost until the end of 2024 to finally find the courage to start.

This journey is as much yours as it is mine, and I'm excited to share every step of it with you.

Thank you for your patience and unwavering support. I hope you'll continue to be understanding as I pour my heart into writing Beyond the Veil of Pride. I also want to apologize in advance if I happen to offend anyone while telling this story.

Please know it's all part of the journey, and I'm grateful to have you by my side.
