Author's Note

To every single one of you who chose up Captive, who finished the book, who held your breath through the twists and turns—I cannot thank you enough.

Writing this story has been a journey, one filled with raw emotions, darkness, and the tangled complexities of love and power. But none of it would have meant anything without you. Your support, your reactions, your love (and even your frustration!) for Isabella and Antonio's story have meant the world to me.

To those who screamed at the characters, who felt Isabella's pain, who hated Antonio yet couldn't look away—thank you. To those who saw beyond the surface, who understood the push and pull, the war between love and hate—thank you.

This is only the beginning. Twisted Fate is coming, and with it, secrets that will shake everything you thought you knew. Get ready—because Isabella's story is far from over.

With all my love and gratitude,
