End Note, Playlist and Appreciation

To God be the glory!

I can't believe this story has come to an end. Hell, you have no idea how happy I am that I've published it all without slacking off whatsoever. I'm proud of myself for this and I'd like to thank everyone that has read, voted and commented. Your support means the world to me.

Now, to the questions you are possibly asking yourself.

Will there be bonus chapters?

Yes. I intend to publish them later after I've taken a break. All bonus chapters will be in Zion's POV.

Will there be a sequel?

Yes. Two actually. I'll be publishing Alex's story next, which can also be read as a stand-alone. As soon as the first chapter is up, you'll be the first to know. Jeanette's story is also in progress.

Is this story available on other sites other than Wattpad?

No. If you're reading it elsewhere, it has been copied and I have no idea who did. So, kindly leave me a message, so, I can file a DCMA complaint. If I decide to publish it elsewhere, I'll let y'all know.

What inspired this story?

I call Natalia, Jeanette and Alex "the common people trio". I wanted to write a story with a very flawed character who doesn't even have a university degree. This is to show that even the underdogs rise.

The same concept applies to Alex and Jeanette. If you've realized, they all didn't go to university but they are doing great things.

But what about Zion? What inspired you to write such a character?

Well, his character is inspired by different ways people cope with loss, death, bereavement and mourning. In his case, he has enough money to hire people to pay attention to him - because he thinks he is all alone. Despite having all the money in the world, it's not enough to make him feel contented with his life. In a way, it's also a lesson that money isn't everything. In the end, he reconnects with his mother and gets a girlfriend - something his money couldn't provide.

What inspired Jeanette's character?

I don't know if you've noticed but there is always that friend in the group who gives the best advice but even then, their situation is not any better. This is Jeanette. She's the mature one who thinks things through but that doesn't mean that everything is well for her. She is struggling with a relationship, gets cheated on, is now on a journey to be a single mother and in the end, her ex-boyfriend turns out to be a psycho. She is that kind of friend who will always listen and give advice but still keep things to herself until it gets too overwhelming.

What about Alex?

This character wasn't supposed to exist actually. It was supposed to be just Jeanette and Natalia. But then, I added him to be an internet- famous person who has to deal with cyber bullying, internet trolls and stuff like that. He is the youngest in the group and it makes sense to me that he feels left out sometimes and has to seek attention elsewhere. And that's how he landed on the internet. It's actually working out for him but yeah, I guess that character makes sense now.

Any more questions? Leave them here. I'll answer them as soon as I can.

Appreciation:

- Again, To God be the glory.

- My roommate for being annoyingly motivating. She pushed me to publish chapter by chapter and I really really have no idea what I would do without her.

- Wilson ( I'll tag you later buddy) for being my favorite reader of all times. Your feedback makes this even a better story.

- All my readers. I love you so so much.
