From your comment , this has to be the most personal chapter to you.. you have captured the symptoms well...I always wondered why Brad has trouble with words and why Lyn was doing his assignments for him....I suspected he had some form of Neurodivergence in him..

It's nice to read about the changes these two lads have undergone....Fidel is confident and less aggressive...Ulises is now living his truth and is happy, no more putting on a facade to fit in.

The Hayes men seem to be floundering...Arthur,Aiden,Joseph and Nathan are all being weird....that closing scene of the chapter though feels me with joy and trepidation in equal measure..It is because If there is anything I have learnt in reading @vanalas's works over the years that each time our protagonists tried to play dirty against their enemies, it always ended up making things dangerously worse for our protagonists.

Me too...but am sure @vanalas got this covered ..I like to believe it would be contrary to that whole conversation with Dean at the beginning of the chapter .

My choice of title for this chapter is .'Lynton Calloway is ruffled'..This week's chapter finds out protagonist ruffled..and am not just talking about his hair mind you.. For someone who is used to order, of having things be in the way he wants them to be..the situation of Brad/Luke/Bella has thrown him off his trajectory and we get to have prime seat and watch our Lyn flounder. I find myself asking...what does Little Luke even want at all?haha.. The burgeoning relationship between Alexander and Lyn is such a a delight to read..These two blokes are different and yet compliment each other in such a good way...and it's just at the infant stage of their relationship! I do not know if am the only one but I find myself looking forward to knowing what really went down to cause a rift for 8 years.. The brief hint of it in this chapter by Alexander and Lyn here means it was a really big fight .. Thank you!...Looking forward to more.

Hate can mess up lives....these two lads are pitiful .. Looking forward to more...thank you!

You had better deliver otherwise am suing you...😂😂

Personally I feel just using the numbers is good..I feel like using the narrator's name might confuse some since there is a plethora of narrators to begin with.

This chapter reminded me of that Bible verse or something similar ..The one about Man proposes, God disposes... Rezak's hubris comes back to bite him in this chapter...There is no flawless plan...something always goes awry somewhere...Good to see good old power hungry Rezak come face to face with reality!.. The Ksingis society is interesting...their culture is quite a marvel.

High school angst at its best in this one..

What a bleak chapter!..You outdid yourself @vanalas😂😂...Only you would begin a new year in such style!..Gore and horror galore!. Can we all gather and form a Kick-his-evil-ass-back-to-hell squad...not that it matters much since said evil ass is now fully awake.. That being said....this was such a a brilliant chapter..I so like!

I was crying at the end of this chapter ..it's that beautiful..

I beg to differ @Doha..hehe .. @Laura S. Fox doesn't roll like that.....that would be so cliche and telenovela-ish....She prefers taking the bull by its horns so to speak ..I like to believe that particular bullet will land sometimes before the wedding..

Finally..at least...Those three were starting to get me riled up...That much sexual tension is hazardous to my sanity😂😂

I especially liked how he taunted Arthur about not being perfect....that must have hurt bone deep on Arthur's side😂...Not that he deserves any pity ..

A beautiful story about discovering oneself...I liked how Matt's angst was portrayed...Am especially glad that it ends on a positive note Thank you!

That ending just made me warmer ...and it's pretty cold here ... Now Julian can get started on beating the Hayes through overwhelming success... I cannot wait...I can already imagine the just desserts coming to those folks . That being said ...that confrontation between Arthur Hayes and Julian had the same Veronica-River Vibes from Groom For Hire ..The verbal sparring was something to behold

I clocked it from the beginning...I suspected not everything is as it seemed ...Like it did not make sense for Seraphine to turn dark after all the help she had rendered to mankind ...I felt it was too neat and easy...Then there is Xander himself...Too neat and easy too.... This chapter reminded me of the opening monologue of Lord of the Rings...When the Galadriel says Nine,nine rings were gifted to the race of men,who above all else desire power. Could not help but draw a parallel to King Ambrose. That being said...I have never seen red herrings been deployed so well like you managed with Xander and Seraphine. Let the fun begin!!

Today's chapter I dub .'Lynton Calloway gets an epiphany'..This chapter is teeming with moments of self-realisation on Lyn's part ..Alexander holds a mirror to Lyn which somewhat makes him acknowledge his fear of commitment...In the same measure Lyn realises that he did indeed place Brad on a pedestal. My personal favourite ,the crowning moments are Lyn realising that he does indeed have profound feelings for Alexander though in typical Lyn fashion doesn't want to give them a name yet...and also realizing that this is the right moment for them to explore whatever is going on between them... I get a feeling that from now , the present day chapters are going to be intense....and am all for it. Happy and blessed festive season to everyone reading this!

Am a member and G.A has been my steady companion when the going got tough...The variety of stories uplifted me in moments when I needed it. The authors here are a god send through sharing their stories...I believe 2026 is going to turn out well and I know that any hiccups whatsoever will be countered by GA. I wish everyone a splendid and Blessed festive season and Happy New year!

Guess Franz Landez discovers a little late that hubris is costly ...My is that lad arrogant 😂

What happens when a bullying threshold is crossed?.This book takes us on a journey to answer that. The Carters and their allies are back in this installment dealing with a bullying Rogue Nation .Intrigue and chaos reign supreme as the chapters transition from one to another at a good pace with well written and resolved character arcs.. I highly recommend this book!!

Eh..you have no idea....your biggest Stan here is frothing at the mouth with glee at what is to come 😜😂

Love have mercy on us all...that promises to be chaotic...beautifully so😂

We have had practice living in a hell imposed on us by our 'God fearing ' leaders.. Just a week ago our dear Speaker of parliament was praising the president for his relentless efforts in ensuring that our 'culture' and norms are maintained through his fight of homosexuality...the ironic part is they never seem to talk about the rampant corruption( that woman must be the most corrupt politician in Uganda right now and she has only been Speaker for 5years) or brutality on the opposition..
