Happy New Year 2026, everyone ✨
After rushing and pushing myself to the finish line, I finally completed this story on January 1st. Ending it right at the start of a new year feels like opening a brand-new chapter, not just for the story, but for me as well.
I want to sincerely thank every reader who followed the updates, left comments, voted, and shared your thoughts along the way. Thank you for staying through every tense escape, every hard choice, and every quiet moment. Thank you for witnessing Lara’s growth — from surviving to truly leading — and for walking with her as she found strength, trust, and love alongside Liam.
Wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and smooth new year!
See you in the next story
