Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

Thank you for the update!

Glad Henry is doing better, but so tired of the po-pity-me party Val insists on having.  

No one can make her better; she won't go to therapy, properly prepare for an interview or even take classes to improve her craft.  She is now at the point that I see her as a lonely, sad, and unhealthy (mentally and physically) person.   And quit blaming your daddy,  especially if you are going to continue working for the man.  Almost had a breakthrough with her flashback--she put downs from dad and brother.

Has she changed so much that Henry thought she was someone else?  I know her hair is straight, but he couldn't recognize his love from behind?  Damn! I so wanted her to have progressed in building her self-esteem, but you kept it real bc change takes a while when you have beat yourself down for years.

Too bad they couldn't get better together, bc Henry was able to move on just fine.

This was an awesome and much needed chapter.  Your writing is just terrific. Val confiding in Henry is what she really needed.  I hope Henry finds George and ...

10!10!10!

Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

Vla is starting to realize that she is the only one responsible for her happiness and well-being.  Every time she looked at Henry, he was laughing it up, telling jokes and being just fine.  Although Henry did try to talk to Val, he is not relying on her to make him happy.  

Take a note out of Henry's playbook and take steps to get well.  Stop giving George more credit in your life than he deserves---no one is paying for his nasty actions, but you.  I am hoping Val returns to therapy and sees a nutritionist. 

Whatever happen to Apple and Peaches?

Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

Henry confessed he loved her...I think Val is stronger than he is, but they need one another and most importantly are meant to be together.

I love each and every update--thank you.

Title: Unguarded

This was terrific--our Girl has grown and she's coming out--I love Henry!

Now they need to keep an eye on Ben.

Would be decent if it was George defending her online and wants to apologize and then disappear---forever.

Now it's time for her to find a new job and a new therapist.

Title: Chapter 2: Nagging obsession

Morgan's plans are to do as much damage as possible and then bail.

He will get through to A., but also find and lose his heart in the process. 

Alicia wants to be his friend and start anew--at least that's what she wants to believe.

I think she will give him a run for his money and he will come to care for her.  M. is just too cold for me and i know this is how he protects himself from the abuse he suffered as a child?  How old is Morgan? What does he and Alicia do (jobs)? Has he had sex with all of Barbara's friends?

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Facing Facts

I didn't realize Ophelia was mentally challenged.



Author's Response:

Ophelia isn't crazy, but Raymond is a manipulator and he knows what buttons to push.  A normal person would be like WTF???  But when she saw him, all her feelings came rushing back.   Raymond thinks he's won, but he may have won the battle, but not the war.  Stay tuned.  There's more going on here than meets the eye.  Remember Aretha's song, "Who's zooming who?"  LOL

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Facing Facts

I don't think Raymond has long to live and he knows it.  He needs to help Benny get his act together before he loses his mind, Justice, and Keisha.  Still think Raymond was a pervert, but O. really loved the man--well, as much as an 11 yr old could.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Facing Facts

Come on Rymond, go bust that coffin open so you and Bennie can go get O! 

He is well off financially, so why not have that numbers traced to at least get the general location when where the calls came from and then find out what hospital employees have any connections in the area. 

Maybe I am watching too much CSI, but still, who announced her death, who was there to verify the death?

Maybe you can make O find a birth certificate which proves she is really older than her age, bc I am still having a hard time with Raymond being a pedophile, even though he thought she was 12 at the time he had her---idk...

Title: Chapter 1: Cast

Dina stumbled a bit form slade's treatment, but i like that she got right back in the game. sasha should feel relieved that she told D what was in her heart--too bad his reaction sucked.

Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 15

Had a guy tell me this when I asked why he was out clubbing w/o his girl: Honey, it's hard to keep loving someone when they don't love you back.

Sasha, it's hard to keep loving this guy...  Hopefully the update will show several years has passed and Sasha has seriously moved on.  Be nice if she had a kid,but due to the ex's actions, she chose to move on without letting him know.

If not that scenario, at least let our girl have a relationship with someone who made her happy and allowed her to grow.  I really could care let about the ex and his screwed up crew.  

The man told her to get lost, so that is what she should do.

Title: Chapter 17: Chapter 16

Hell, I'm excited.  Our girl is finally growing up (sigh).  I thinks she will still hurt for a while, but that is ok---Dimitri will hurt longer.  This was very realistic bc one can feel anger and intense dislike toward their partner, but one can only grow once they recognize the part they played--Sasha has accepted her part, she owned it and now she is going to use it as her foundation to build on. 

She is going into nternational business--i think Domitri will try to reach out first but it's too late and he ain't 'grown' enough to handle the woman Sasha is going to become.

Title: Chapter 1: Cast

Sasha is still healing and believe it or not, she is using her self defense classes as therapy.  I would like a HEA for these two, but they are not ready for it. 

D. still sees his father as wrecking their 'perfect' family.  He was warped by both his parents--mom feeling him with hatred and dad having the morals of an alley cat. 

Now that I think about it, D can't help Sasha until he helps himself.  It is ok for Sasha to still love him, but now she is starting to love herself more--good for her!   I hope she doesn't become hard, but now realizes what she will and will not accept in her next relationship.

Congrats on your move to Japan!

I hope Sasha gives him a run for his money--three long yrs and no apology from him or his nutty sister (she couldn't even say Sasha's name).  Nat understands the part she played in the breakup, but I don't think she is sorry.

Has Sasha changed her looks at all?  I had hoped Sasha had had sex with someone else, if nothing else but to compare the guy with D.   At least she feels some attraction to the new guy.  Now that D. is making the effort to find her--i hope she runs his ass ragged.

ditto to Lapis Love review. 

you know you have a hit when you can get this kind of reaction from your readers. 

If Sasha don't get a clue after being ignored by D. slapped and spit on by N, and their crazy Pops trying to get to her... her so-called man can't even say he loves her --he could've at least said 'thank you' when she said it.  Staying involved with this family would give this girl a nervous breakdown--she is already their punching bag.

Took him long enough and thank goodness for Slade.  Now it's time for Dina to put the so-called friends in check, bc you know they are going to  show their asses when they find out about D & S. 



Author's Response:

haha. Finally he came to his senses! Thank you for your review!

Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 14

If Sasha telling him her sad story doesn't make him love her...then it's time for Sasha to dry off and let D heal in his own way. 

Dina should wait on Slade, but not for years.

Title: Chapter 16: Chapter 15

Dimitri, his father, and sister are in serious need of some therapy.  At first, I wanted Sasha to stand up for herself, but it is just not in her character.  It is time to stop letting  others humilated her, verbally and physically. 

Begging them to all make-up finally worked and they all kicked HER ass to the curb.  

I think Dimitri is a bit slow, selfish, and mean--he doesn't deserve her.  He won't realize he loved her until she is actually gone.  Sasha should pack up, leave that key and get the hell out of dodge fast! 

She needs time to heal and something in her life to make her want to live and grow stronger, but even if she had a baby I would be scared to her him around these fruit loops.

 

The good news is that maybe that knock on Nat noggin brought her to her senses and the docs will see just how close to death this nasty puppy really is. 

 

I think it is time for Sasha to stop being a wallflower and get herself together--and please don't go begging his ass back or apologizing because he doesn't care.

'bout time, Sasha.  D. should come correct and be prepared to work for it.  I really think Sasha should come clean with Carter--it is just not in her character to string him along.  I don't think D. has really changed all that much; he just realized that he messed up, but he don't realized the damage he did to her.

Thanks for the update.  I have been straddled the fence on Sasha given D. a 2nd chance, but after this update, I think she should, but go real, real slow.   There should be no touching, no kissing,  no sex at all until he wins her back.
