First of all, I would like to thank everyone who took out their precious time to read and support Every Flame. I have got so much valuable support and appreciation from you all that my heart swells with happiness.

I remember I was just about to turn twenty and had started college. Through a terrifying first semester, I was struggling hard to write one chapter and publish a chapter when I was in college almost for the entire day. And now my college had ended and so has this story.

Every Flame wasn't just a story for me. It was a ray of hope, a ray of light which gave me the direction to do the right thing. It was an inspiration that just because I had written and invested all my time, energy and creativity in one book that I won't be able to write another one.

This time when the idea of this story came in, I just wanted a story around forced proximity and enemies to lovers. But since only romance seemed like a really plain idea, I thought to add the mystery element to it. And now maybe that is how people would know me.

When His Inconvenient Bride ended, it had received so much love from the people and it still does, thanks to you all, I felt like an additional pressure to make this story better than it or at least be at par with it. I hope I did that.

Writing had always been my escape. I had cried with my characters, laughed with them, lived their lives and when the story comes to an end, I feel like I am giving away a part of myself too.

I had never expected this story to receive so much love. Writing this acknowledgement feels like an achievement. I will forever cherish all the kind messages that I have received on Instagram DMs, Wattpad PMs, message board and the comments. Your words have made my day happier.

As we end with a story, we begin another one. My novella, Next Destination: Love? is up for you guys to read. Do support and love that story as much as you did to this one. As for another full length novel, you guys have to wait a little more for the grand reveal.

I am being very emotional right now, as I am just a click away to mark this complete. It has been a very long journey.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

With Love,

Akii.
