Hello!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane with the video on top. Can you still recall from which scenes of this novel these lines are taken? Haha, just trying to have some fun with you... and just want to reminisce all those irritating scenes with you!!! Haha!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Okay, done watching it?

Now, let's get down to business... hehe...

Finally, my first Wattpad novel Engaged to the Heartless Heartbreaker has its curtains falling down and I can't believe it. It seems just like yesterday that I was starting it... and, now, is it even true that I've just finished it? (Please, somebody pinch me!)

From this novel, I've discovered and realized a lot of things. The following are just a few of them:

FIRST, Most of us are hopeful when it comes to LOVE. Though we are hurt and shattered, still we cling to that small amount of hope in our hearts that the person hurting us will still find some time to realize our worth. I just knew it because most of you, while reading the first half of this, hoped that Nigel would come to love Thea back. We hate him but we still have that hope in our hearts.

SECOND, I love Althea and Nigel. Though they are fictional characters but they hold a special place in my heart. I want to believe that they are real people... so they can be a living testimony that it is possible to love only one person throughout one's lifetime... and a proof that forever does exist.

THIRD, It will take me a long time before I'll be able to move on from my ANGEL. ***Sigh***

FOURTH, Just pursue your dream, never stop, and believe that you can. To be honest, I've been apprehensive at first of posting this story here with the fear of being criticized. But how can we tell that we can do something if we don't take a certain risk? So, I said to myself, "Never be afraid of criticisms! They are the ones that help you!" Hence, one day, I decided to post the first part... then followed by one update, then another update... At first, there were just very few readers... until they became a lot... and now, thousands...

FIFTH, Never be afraid to eliminate a chapter that doesn't feel quite right. Well, just a trivia... I have written five long chapters intended for this novel that I decided to exclude. Though I spent a lot of efforts on those scenes but because I felt they don't just feel right, I just keep them to myself. I don't regret I didn't post them... because if I did... Oh, no... just don't ask me about it...

SIXTH, I have the most amazing readers in the whole wide world... Guys, you're there supporting and you've never been judgmental of me. Yes, you judge and hate my characters (and I'm even loving it... because Nigel and Althea were really designed to be hated and criticized in most parts of this novel) but you don't include hating the author. You criticize the characters but you never give negative remarks directed to me (Well, at least for now... hehe) You only made suggestions or corrections, you never bash me. For that, I feel really, truly amazing. THANK YOU, GUYS! LOVE YOU ALL!

SEVENTH, When readers make votes or make comments that they love the story or when they add the story to their reading list especially the one that is labeled Faves/Favorites/Best and the like, it's what keeps the author pumped up. It's an amazing feeling I can't truly describe it!

EIGHTH, Readers' thoughts and opinions are very helpful. Some of you might have noticed that I keep some of your suggestions by actually carrying it out in the story. Hope I make you happy.

NINTH, It is indeed possible to gain friends in Wattpad. Because of this, I love Wattpad even more. Because of Wattpad, I come to meet amazing, wonderful people from the different parts of the world.

TENTH, there's nothing that I'd like to do right now but just to extend my heartfelt THANKS and GRATITUDE to the following:

To our Almighty God, for this wonderful opportunity. You are the giver of gifts, Lord, and I'm glad You give me the ability to write. Without you, the source of ideas, I would have nothing to write.

To my husband, Rey, for the support. You've always been there for me, giving me ideas and suggestions as to the flow of the story. Because of you, I got to think of S. Eliakim. For being my real-life-knight-in-shining-armor, thank you and I love you, pa.

To my kids, Baby Hero and Baby Zaiyeh, for providing me a reservoir of love and inspiration. Your smiles and laughter bring me to heights. And, in the next months, papa and mama will be away from you. We will surely miss you both, it's going to be hard I know but, for you Yoh and Yeh, I'll try to be strong.

To my siblings, Ghay, JP, and Pon, for being my first ever supporters. Truly, family supports one another. If no one does, who else will? Family yesss!!!

To my amazing READERS, VOTERS, COMMENTERS and FOLLOWERS, for choosing to read this story, for inspiring me, and for your support and love. Definitely, Engaged to the Heartless Heartbreaker wouldn't be this grand to me without all of YOU, so thank you. Thank you. Thank you. If you could only see my hêăřt right now, you could sèé the happiness you've brought to my life... ❤💙💚💛💜💗💟

To sapphiregirl22's crazy CHEERLEADING TEAM --- Cindy, Lina, Thethisz, Nov1567 --- for the crazy chit-chats during update time. Thank you, girls! You've become a part of me you can't ever imagine.

To everyone who has been there since the beginning until the end. Thank you very much for sticking around, for your patience in waiting for updates, for just being there for this story... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

To everyone who will still read this, THANKS in advance!

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I love writing it.

To all of you, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Mwaahhh👄👄👄!!!

See you around!

P.S.

Please read "Why Can't It Just Be You?"

Having been able to think of a new plot, I've already posted the blurb of my newest story entitled "Finding Hale." Here's the cover.

P.P.S.

Some of you ask if I'm going to write a sequel of Engaged to the HEARTLESS HEARTBREAKER and I still don't know... It depends...

Actually, I want to stop where I just stopped... because I want to believe that Nigel's and Althea's life together as husband and wife is the same to a fairytale's ending, "AND THEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER." I want to give that kind of ending to their story because they both have been through a lot... They deserve to have a happy life after everything...

So that's it.

But, who knows? My mind can be pretty fickle sometimes. I might write a sequel in the future... It really depends...

But, yeah, I'll be posting a bonus chapter some time soon...
