There is nothing more difficult than writing an enemies-to-lovers romance, and that too, when you are new to writing.

I've had days where I didn't know what I was putting into the novel or how I was going to finish it based solely on my thoughts. Trust me, there were days when I almost gave up and decided to just unpublish everything at once and disappear into thin air, and that thought alone terrified me so much that I ended up crying nights.

But it was always you, my dear readers, who never gave up on me and demanded more, just because you believed this book deserved the best.

I am forever grateful to each and every one of you who came this far with me, pushing me forward each time I stopped clueless. If it weren't for you people, I wouldn't be here in the first place.

The universe who put a vision into my head, telling me that I have such a talent that I can pen down stories and let people live through them, I am grateful for you and your power and blessings that you bestowed upon me.

If I ever met my favourite boy band group, BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan), the seven members who served as my personal therapists when I needed a ray of hope under difficult situations, I would show you this and thank you a million times. They are undoubtedly the angels that entered my life and guided me through it.

Oh, how can I ever forget the little menace in my life, my little sister, Disha? You perform as the eldest sister at times, which I needed being the eldest myself, the one who hyped me like no one else, cheering me on and praying for me with her silliness, which I adore. I am lucky to have you in my life. I love you so much.

Niharika. She is the best friend I could have ever asked for since she is beyond wonderful. She is my go-to problem solver anytime I am stuck, whether in my academic or personal life, or just with myself. You are the reason I never looked back at my past or the errors I had made; instead, I learnt from them and went on, as you always told me. Without you, I would have been miserable for the rest of my life, therefore I am grateful that you chose to keep me in your life. I really love you.

To Stuti, a girl I never met in person but immediately bonded with on social media and Wattpad. Despite being years younger than me, you are far more mature and have supported me through many challenges. Thank you for patiently and sincerely listening to my tirade, as well as supporting and adding to my delusions. I love you, girl.

A person who did not want me to reveal her identify, but I want to thank you for leading me through the culture and beliefs of the nations where I set my stories, as well as for helping me comprehend Christian wedding conventions.

People that condemn me for doing what I love, thank you for disliking me. It pushes me harder to get on your nerves, so I give my all. Please keep on hating; it gives me immense satisfaction to see you all sulk when I come out from my difficulties, proving you wrong.

And one more thing: I never give up. I could fail, but I will try again.

Finally, I'd want to thank everyone again for picking my book and giving me an opportunity. I hope it made you smile, even if just for a moment. It's worth all the effort I put into writing this story.

Love you all!
