Notice: Hi guys, I'm sorry this is not a chapter but I wanted to inform you guys what was happening. I am currently working on signing a contract with another website and that's why couldn't upload for such a long time. So, there is a chance that I will be moving the novel to that platform. I'm sorry about that. It will still take a week so I'll give the next update then and tell the next plan for this novel. Hope you guys cooperate with me.
Spoiler: After the time leap, Grace's character will be developed. She will become a lot more of an extrovert and will be the person she wanted to be. Cora and Ava's past will be revealed and they will move on from it. The reason for Ava's behavior will be revealed and they both will come face to face.
The biggest question will be, Who will Grace chose, Ava or Cora?
Views: I think this novel is the best one so far. It has got so many positive reviews and it has helped people throw tough times. For me, it is a dream come true. This is the kind of thing I always wanted to create, although I didn't have an idea about the story.
When I first started it, I didn't think much about the story. I just needed a story to join the contest and this is what I came up with. As I have said earlier, there was no Cora in the beginning. As the story proceeded I realized that it was just too short and was ending in just 15 chapters so I had to increase the length and that's when I thought about making suspense about Grace's past; also cause it matched well with her personality, considering she was sensitive and anxious. Well, it was suspense because even I hadn't thought about what exactly it would be. As the story moved forward it became a big thing and thus I slowly started to enclose it, using past memories of her mother or of the bridge.
Ava's character wasn't this bad at first but considering the fact that she was rich and a bully, those traits didn't kinda match her too well so I had to develop her character negatively. And here we are now.
Cora was actually created to extend the story. She is a positive character and a person everyone should have in their life. But in the upcoming chapters her dark side will be revealed, how her past has affected her, and how she really feels.
The bridge scene from Grace's dream was what I liked the most. It was a really beautiful scene and unexpectedly was really well written. I think I did justice to it.
As it always happens, I don't think much about the story when I start writing it but as it proceeds it changes completely till the end as the characters develop with time, and unexpectedly it turns out good. As I have told earlier, this story was not intended this way but I'm happy with how it turned out. Hope you guys like it as well.
Bye!
