That’s a bit sad to hear ngl. And can I maybe ask how many chapters u have envisioned for both stories? But I totally understand ur planings. I just hope Ruben’s story won’t be forgotten :P His pov was so cunt and MAD and sooooo hot :€. I also loved his denial of being hetero xD and it was just such great writing as always. I just love how u create each and everyone individual and unique personality and write suitably for it. And Ruben’s pov was such a nice fresh of air as well as Christian Lee’s  in RR! I genuinely adore almost every character u write, especially the brothers. It’s always very enjoyable when they interact or when we get their povs. Will be patiently waiting <3 
            How are you holding up so far?

@nooosirrr  I really liked it too. It was fun for the most part. But as for the release, it will take some time. My goal is to finish both Mommy Issues and Rough Ryder  by the end of this year (fingers crossed) & then release some of my older works I am planning on rewriting. But only time will tell.

I would :3

@impressivefox uhhh the thought has never really crossed my mind. I'm not sure if people would buy physical copies of the books XD 

@ rmrmgotme  a lot! 

@Jiwoodo hahaha but hope you enjoyed reading it!!!

@ the_tortured_author  sounds like a plan and I look forward to read everything!
            Then when the time comes, don't forget to announce it. I am your fan and supporter!
            

@the_tortured_author okayyyy i get it now tysmmm !!

@rmrmgotme I hope this clarifies any confusion. Also, while Carmello and Ryder were in Vegas, Val and Rowan were confronting Lev in chapter 51 of Daddy Issues.

            PART 3: 
            
            But the plan became complicated because Valentino was missing one crucial piece of information: Carmello had already introduced Ryder to Alonzo in Chapter 27 at the yacht party. At that time, Val was unconscious in Sicily, recovering from a gunshot wound. From that party, Alonzo realized ‘Sasha’ was important to Carmello because of how protective he was and because Carmello brought a "plus one." This indicated to Alonzo that "Sasha Ivanov" was Carmello's primary vulnerability.
            
            Ultimately, Montana misled Val by claiming Alonzo would be at the meeting, while simultaneously informing Alonzo that Sasha Ivanov would be there. Alonzo successfully outplayed Valentino; instead of being in the room himself, he had Ryder intercepted and delivered to Suite 10. Montana’s men were already waiting there with an ambush and the X-D dosage. 
            
            Because Alonzo was aware of Montana’s hatred for Carmello, he decided to kill two birds with one stone. They engineered a scenario to break him, baiting Carmello and Lee into Suite 10 so Carmello would find a drugged, broken Ryder and succumb to either paralyzing grief or a manageable rage.
            
            Ultimately, Montana’s betrayal was confirmed, but it came at a cost. Valentino hadn't risked Ryder out of malice toward him or Carmello; rather, he had operated under the flawed assumption that Alonzo remained ignorant of Sasha Ivanov’s true identity. Val’s gambit was built on the belief that Alonzo would be seduced by the prospect of a lucrative business partnership rather than violence. That miscalculation led to the entire plan failing.

@the_tortured_author 
            Sometimes a reader could offer you a fresh perspective through their critical comments that can make you read between the lines and might help you to identify lacunae and inconsistencies in your story.
            But some authors here only want to stay delusional, I guess.
            Unlike you, they start the story without having a proper adumbration of the plot or the characters, and then they build their story based on the readers comments purely, rather than making it a result of their own imagination or research.
            Nonetheless, when someone points out their voids and how shady their story has started to look, just like I did on a story, the author and a few of their FANATIC readers would run amok and defend their aurhor blindly.
            The point I'm trying to make here dear is that we should always remain open to criticism, regardless of it being nurturing or damaging.
            Only after hearing enough reproaching voices around us can we truly recognize the ones that are sincerely identifying the gaps in our writing and the ones that are doing nothing but ranting like a child, and thus must be overlooked.

            Hey Lucas, I know it's not my conversation to jump in ; however, I could not help but feel like sharing my opinion in response to your perspective about receiving criticism from the readers.
            You are right about the part where you said sometimes criticism would be nothing beyond noise. True, reckless and inconsiderate criticism is a blaring noise in the background that you'd have to learn to neutralize in your mind so you do not lose the glimmer in your story. It happens mostly when readers thoughtlessly swear or hurl profanities in the comments because they first  ignored the tags and warnings given at the start, but then later got offended when they found something disturbing or unsettling. 
            
            But dear trust me, some authors here only Wattpad will not even brook constructive criticism.
            All they want to see and hear are sycophantic praising opinions from their readers in exchange for replying and acknowledging those readers' presence in the comments section.
            I believe if I am taking a dig at someone's writing, it's natural that my words will come across as direct and presumptuous.
            Besides, how can I expect someone to use all glossy and shimmery words and then tell me that they were upbraiding my work??? 
            
            As long as readers do not use effing or curse words, I believe that the writers should be flexible and open to receiving a few negative comments, just like how they relish the comments when people are gushing over their chapters.
            Positive and negative comments run simultaneously, just like how life is the summation of ups and downs..

            Oh, please! You just don't realise it yet, but I won't force it on you. I didn't read that it was Lucas. All the while, I thought of you as Luca from Coco. (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
            
            Thank you so much. 
            
            Yeah, I noticed you deleted your previous work. Hey! I was reading that(I've forgotten the name, but I think it had to do with reincarnation) I wanted to write something like that as well, but I needed a good book to read about it.
            
            Then, I saw you've deleted it. 
            
            Aw!
            
            I really appreciate it!
            I just finished writing a chapter of myself story and it was easier, now that I wasn't worrying about what the reader would think. 
            
            And about the emotions, I guess that's where the real show, don't tell lies. Showing them in small actions—i'll take note of that. 
            
            You've been of huge help, Lucas (I got it right this time). 
            
            Thank you!
            
            Again! Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!! (I'm still in my first year.)

@the_tortured_author Ahh, thank you so much for replying!!! I'm excited to see who lee ends up with , I trust your vision completely though I'm still internally spiraling (I really thought I guessed right)

@Zuluika omg hii, how did I miss this message. Thank you so much for loving my stories, and I am happy that they can be a sense of comfort. A love interest for Roger, no... it hasn't been decided. But you can bet that Lee already has a love interest. They have yet to meet <.<  >.> 

omg sameeee
