Happy Valentine’s Day, my lovely readersss ❤️
          	
          	Whether you’re spending today with someone special, your friends, your family, or just peacefully by yourself — I hope you feel loved. Real love isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s strength. Sometimes it’s choosing yourself.
          	
          	And if you’re single? You’re not missing out on anything. You’re growing. You’re becoming. And that kind of love story is just as important.
          	
          	Thank you for loving this story and these characters the way you do. I appreciate every read, every comment, every theory.
          	
          	Now go eat chocolate, romanticize your life, and don’t text your ex. ;)
          	
          	Luv ya :) ❤️

Hey Beth I've been reading the law and then came across another of your book if you tell and it seems they're somehow connected.
          Should I continue with the law or read if you tell first? Also I love your book.

BethTochi

@Nekkyy heyy, glad you're enjoying my book. If you tell is actually the first book, so I recommend you read it first to understand the world in the law.
            Happy reading :) ❤️

Heyyy lovely readersss,
          
          I want to be honest with you all — I’ve been dealing with a bit of writer’s block lately. The story is still very important to me, and I care deeply about these characters, but I’ve realized I need to step back briefly to clear my head and allow the creativity to flow naturally again.
          
          That said, this isn’t a goodbye. There are already completed chapters written and scheduled to be released, so updates won’t stop immediately. You’ll still have content to read while I take a short breather.
          
          Thank you for your patience, your theories, your messages, and your support. It truly means more than you know. I promise I’m not abandoning this story — I just want to return to it stronger and more inspired.
          
          See you soon :) ❤️

Hi Beth, sorry it's been a while.
          
          I've had some thing happening and wasnt able to keep up with your posts but ill get back on track.
          
          i re-read the prologue and I was inspired by the mystery of the antagonist, so i decided to write something in a similar space. But i couldn't capture the essence of the character.
          
          Can I ask some advice as to how you came up the with the character's persona?

JOELSTYLUS

Thank you for clarifying that, I'd previously made my mysterious characters more of forces than logical individuals.
            
            I deeply appreciate your advice and hope to be as successful as you.

@JOELSTYLUS Hiiii
            
            Thank you so much for coming back and I really appreciate you rereading the prologue. That honestly means a lot.
            
            I love that the mystery of the antagonist inspired you to write something in a similar space. I took quite some time developing the character.
            
            For the persona, I started with asking who this character is when no one is with them, what they believe, what they justify, what they’re protecting and how their upbringing shaped their logic.
            
            Once I understood their internal logic, everything came easily.
            
            I actually have written notes on every of my characters with their backgrounds down to what makes them who they are. So whenever I'm writing on them or their lines, I can be able to think like them.
            
            Thank you again for reading and engaging and I hope my little piece helps. Good luck on your writing journey :) ❤️

Heyyy lovely readersss,
          
          Updates might be a bit slow for now, and trust me, this hurts me more than you know. I haven’t been able to write because there’s been little to no light, so charging my devices has been really difficult.
          
          I miss writing, I miss updating, and I miss being here with you all. Thank you so much for your patience, support, and love—it genuinely means everything to me. I’ll be back the moment I can.
          
          Please don’t forget to vote, comment, and keep the story in your hearts. I appreciate you more than I can say.
          
          Happy reading :) ❤️

Heyyy lovely readersss,
          
          I’m back! I’ve finally settled into school after all the preparations, and I’m ready to dive back into updating. 
          
          Chapter Thirty-Six is out!! Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy it :)

Heyy lovely readerss,
          
          I just wanted to give a quick update. I’ll be stalling chapters for a bit because I’m currently preparing to leave for school. There’s a lot to sort out, and I don’t want to rush the story or drop chapters I’m not fully satisfied with.
          
          Once I’ve settled in properly, I’ll be back to updating as usual. Thank you so much for your patience, support, and for sticking with the story—it genuinely means a lot to me.
          
          See you soon :) ❤️

Hi Beth, I really appreciate your writing. It's one of a kind, i hardly find African writers that can mix wise prose and an un-put-down-able plot altogether.
          
          i write and watch more than I read, and there are many times that i wondered if wattpad is even for me, but your story, among others, is one i keep coming back to. I really enjoy the mystery, and how the subplots contribute to the story.

JOELSTYLUS

Your welcome, from writer to writer, keep going!

@JOELSTYLUS Thank you so much❤️
            This honestly means more than I can properly put into words.
            
            Knowing that my story is something you come back to is huge for me. The fact that you appreciate the prose and the plot, and that the subplots are working the way I intended, tells me I’m doing something right.
            
            African stories deserve to be layered, emotional, and impossible to put down and I’m really glad this one resonated with you. Your support and attention don’t go unnoticed at all.
            
            Thank you for reading, for staying, and for taking the time to say this. It genuinely motivates me to keep going :) ❤️

Heyyy lovely readersss,
          I took a short break to rest and reset, and I’m happy to say I’m feeling much better now. Thank you for your patience, the quiet support, and for sticking with this story while I stepped away. It really means more than you know.
          
          I’m back, focused, and ready to continue telling this story the way it deserves to be told. Things are about to get more intense from here—secrets, power plays, and consequences.
          
          Let’s get back into it. :)❤️
