The highlight of the story now shows Aurora climbing up a mini platform connected to the dance floor.

Cirrus, who chose a table near the platform, admired her as she flaunted her curves in a beige body-hugging dress.

"Everyone, settle down please," she announced whilst holding a wireless microphone.

The couples in the dance floor: Lianne and Ruen, Heron and the young Marcus returned in their seats.

"It has come to this hour when we finally get a chance to meet our Creator. She is the reason why we are loved by our precious readers. Why our story lingers in their hearts. Why they cry, laugh, get scared, squeal, have eye puffiness because of sleepless nights reading and waiting for updates."

The couples all chuckled at this.

"She is the reason why we exist," Aurora continued. She glanced at a big tree behind her and then announced, "Let us all welcome, Miss Julianne Vera Cruz, or popularly known as JMFelic."

Everyone present clapped their hands.

The Author emerged from the big tree and strode towards the platform.

"A great evening to all!" she said when Aurora handed her the mic after a quick kiss of greeting on the cheek. "Wow! So many beautiful couples are surrounding me."

She cleared a lump in her throat, suddenly feeling emotional.

"Well, I'd like to thank you for attending this special Valentine's party. It has always been my dream to create a world where genuine love and romance exists and use this to touch and inspire other people. Through Wattpad, I was able to do this. I was able to create all of you."

She gestured a hand to the couples in her front and then pressed a palm against her chest, right where the heart lay.

"You are my achievement. You are my life. Published or not, you are forever in my heart, alive and as real as the pen I always hold in my hand. Thank you for sharing your stories to the readers in different parts of the world. Thank you for making them fall in love. Happy Valentine's Day everyone and enjoy this evening!"

Everyone applauded again, but a lot louder this time.

Ysabelle hastily stood up and took her camera with her.

"Miss Author, let's take a group picture!" she shouted and handed the camera to a passing waiter.

"Sure, Ysabelle," JMFelic replied. "Everybody please stand in the platform with me."

And all the couples did without delay.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

"Say cheese!" they all exclaimed in unison.

The comic book art ends with a group picture of all the characters and their Author, JMFelic.
