✨ 50K READS SPECIAL ✨
          
          Dear Readers,
          
          50,000 reads.
          
          Honestly, I don't even know where to start.
          
          When I first began writing Cameron and Natasha's story, it was just an idea living rent-free in my head. I never imagined so many people would decide to come along for the ride.
          
          You've laughed at Cameron's stupidity.
          You've suffered through Natasha's heartbreak.
          You've screamed at both of them for making questionable life choices.
          And somehow, you've stayed.
          
          Every vote, comment, message, and theory means more than you know. There have been days when I doubted scenes, chapters, and even the story itself. Then I'd open the comments and find people discussing tiny details I thought nobody noticed, and suddenly I'd remember why I started writing in the first place.
          
          Thank you for loving these characters.
          
          Thank you for being patient with the slow burn.
          
          Thank you for yelling at Cameron on my behalf.
          
          And thank you for giving Natasha the love and support she deserves.
          
          From the bottom of my heart,
          
          Thank you for 50,000 reads. ❤️
          
          Love,
          Author ✨

One of them believes in logic.
          The other survives on instinct.
          Neither of them is ready for what happens when love becomes the only variable they can't calculate.
          
          "I’m trying to keep you here.”
          “I’m not something you keep."
          
          Some people fall in love gently.
          Luke Reed doesn’t.
          He falls like something inside him was waiting to break first.
          
          You can find them on my profile in my story titled "Beyond the tether" 

COMPLETED. ❤️
          
          After months of writing, crying, overthinking, and emotionally destroying both my characters and myself... Luke and Ash's is finally complete.
          
          It begins simply.
          
          Two people in love.
          Fresh out of college.
          A future laid out in front of them.
          
          Then one diagnosis changes everything.
          
          What follows is not just a romance. It's a story about sacrifice, grief, devotion, impossible choices, years of silence, and the kind of love that refuses to die even when everything else does.
          
          This is a story about losing people while they're still alive.
          
          About carrying guilt so long it starts to feel like part of your bones.
          
          About survival.
          
          About finding your way back.
          
          And most of all, about what happens after the worst thing has already happened.
          
          If you're looking for a light read, this isn't it.
          
          If you're looking for a story that will make you laugh one chapter and stare at a wall questioning your existence the next, welcome.
          
          Expect:
          ❤️ Soulmate-level devotion
           Emotional damage
           Ugly crying
           Found family
           Medical drama
           Corporate power struggles
           Healing
          ✨ Hope
          
          And a love story that spends years fighting its way back to itself.
          
          Read at your own risk.
          
          You will not leave this story the same way you entered it.
          
          You can find it on my profile "Beyond the Tether" 
          
          Don't forget to vote and comment. 
          Love you all

I DIDN’T DISAPPEAR 
          
          The drafts for Luke & Ashton’s sequel are officially DONE.
          
          Right now the story is sitting at 63 chapters, but some of the drafts are ridiculously long so the final version will probably end up around 65–70 chapters once I split/edit everything properly.
          
          And honestly?
          This story became so much bigger than I planned.
          
          You’re getting:
          — emotional devastation
          — healing
          — domestic Luke & Ashton
          — soft family moments
          — Luke finally being loved properly
          — heartbreak
          — “I would choose him over anything” level insanity
          — and some scenes that genuinely ruined me while writing them
          
          The last stretch of this sequel is probably the most emotional thing I’ve ever written for them.
          
          New chapters start dropping within the next 24 hours.
          Stay tuned. 

Hey everyone 
          Just a quick note to say I haven’t disappeared—I’m still very much here and still writing Ashton and Luke.
          I’m currently deep in the last three chapters, and I’m kind of in “flow mode” right now, which is why updates haven’t been as regular.
          I don’t want to break the momentum because these final chapters are really important for how the story lands.
          Once I finish drafting these last three chapters (hopefully by tomorrow), I’ll start releasing them in bulk so you won’t have to wait long between updates.
          Thank you so much for being patient and sticking with the story—it means a lot 

OMG update time!!! 
          So I’m officially at Chapter 38 (base draft is DONE!!) — now it’s just editing, refining, fixing pacing, polishing emotions, all that fun chaos. I think it's going to be around 60 chapters hut I'm not sure yet. For now I'm just gonna edit
          AND I’m going to be doing that while continuing forward, so updates should actually start coming a bit faster now instead of the slow grind lately.
          BUT I just have to say… Chapter 36 completely destroyed me  like I knew it was going to be emotional but WHY did it hit that hard?? I literally had to pause mid-writing because I was not okay for a minute.
          These characters are doing way too much in my brain right now.
          Anyway, we move ✍️
          More chapters coming soon!!

They survived college.
          
          The chaos.
          The panic attacks.
          The uncertainty.
          Each other.
          
          Somehow, Luke Reed and Ashton Collins built a life out of late-night kisses, shared dreams, and a love so consuming it felt untouchable.
          
          New York was supposed to be their beginning.
          
          A thriving biotech company.
          A master’s program.
          An apartment that finally felt like home.
          
          They were disgustingly in love.
          Unshakable.
          Certain.
          
          Until a diagnosis changes everything.
          
          Now the question isn’t whether they love each other enough.
          
          It’s whether love can survive fear.
          
          Because illness doesn’t just break bodies.
          It breaks trust.
          It creates secrets.
          Distance.
          Resentment.
          Sacrifices that feel too much like betrayal.
          
          And somewhere between hospital rooms, impossible choices, and the slow unraveling of the future they planned together—
          
          Luke and Ashton begin losing each other long before they actually fall apart.
          
          This is the sequel to their college romance.
          
          A story about grief, obsession, survival, and the terrifying realization that sometimes the person you love most can become the person who hurts you deepest.

I told myself I was done emotionally torturing Luke and Ashton.
          
          Turns out they disagreed.
          
          So… maybe keep an eye out over the next few months 
          
          All I’ll say for now is:
          
          - they are still disgustingly in love
          - they are still incapable of being normal about each other
          - and this story might hurt more than the first one
          
          Also, before rumors start spreading — Annie’s book is officially discontinued and no longer canon.
          
          That’s all you’re getting from me today.

Hello loves. 
          
          Part 2 of Luke and Ashton s bonus chapter is live. Don't forget to vote and comment. 

After a long stretch of writer’s block, I’m finally back—and it feels amazing to say the BONUS BOOK is now live.
          I’m not fully sure when I’ll return to Annie’s main story yet. Right now, I just don’t have the foresight for long arcs or big plotlines. But I’ve still been writing—small bonus chapters, little moments, and side scenes that kept these characters alive for me.
          
          I’d really love to write more of these.
          So keep sending your requests—your ideas might just become the next chapter.
