A Wife for the Billionaire

Before the sneak peek, I, as the author, would like to say a few words.

First of all, it’s kinda surreal that I get to do this on my birthday. Yeah folks, today’s the 31st of March, my birthday.

I started this story last year roughly around August 22, and if my math is right. It’s been 7 months. Before now, I didn’t know it’s been that long and at the same time, it really doesn’t feel that long.

These months had been one hell of a ride. I remember days that I don’t even write at all. I was kinda in a bad place before I began this book and like I usually write on my author page, ’writing has always been my own way of navigating life’ and this book helped.

As crazy as it sounds, I started this story a day after a story I had been working on got rejected, ’A Mafia Vendetta’. The book had been doing so well that it was getting promoted even though it wasn’t contracted yet. Even on the day it got rejected, it was on promotion. I really didn’t see the rejection coming, I had been so convinced that I was going to get a contract that for once, my heart never doubted it. And I guess that was why it had hit hard when I stared at my rejection email.

I had sank into depression after that, moping around and convincing myself that I wasn’t good enough. And then on the evening of the next day after living through the nightmare of seeing other authors post their acceptance emails. I will admit I was envious of them and that spite kinda inspired me to try again. So, sitting there at my work, I thought of writing a billionaire romance since that of the mafia was rejected.

The idea of Richard Wellington and Sofia Blake (Reed) story came pretty fast and to quell my depression, I started writing immediately. A week later without even applying for a contract I was offered one at my own leisure. So, I suppose there’s some sort of moral lesson on that, ’Never give up’ even when you think you should. Your next try might actually be the success you’ve been looking and waiting for.

And honestly I didn’t see this book ending like this. There was still a lot I wanted to write. Sofia and Cole’s first date. Their first sex. How Hong Kong went, the masquerade and fundraiser ball, interviewing the prospects, Sofia’s experience working with Richard, vice versa, the collection launch, the stepping down of the current Dame of the Dame Dynasty, Claire’s disapproval of Sofia as her son’s personal assistant as if she knew what would happen, the collection launch, Sofia and Richard moment of vulnerability, the aftermath and of course the celebration of a successful collaboration launch which was where the events of the epilogue took place.

So my dear readers, don’t be dismayed, there’s a sequel, ’The Wife of the Billionaire’ and it will be starting from where I stopped on this one. I thank you all for reading this one, and the support you gave. Honestly, without you guys, I don’t think I would have gone this far. Thank you so much and bear with me for ending this one this way. I had wanted to rush through the whole thing, but then it wouldn’t have been as I liked so I decided to end this one and start a sequel.

The Chapters would be like the last Chapters of this one. No more repeating their words, but trying to merge their experiences in one Chapter. And I want to promise that this one won’t be draggy, but it’s not really up to me. I can’t help it when my characters remember a memory from the past or decide to ramble on and on.
