A Gangster's Reign

Asirae's Note:

Hi lovelies! This note may be a bit long because finally, I've finished my first book. But please, hear me out. I made this the shortest it can possibly be. Let me take this moment, okay? It's a first!

I started this when I was in 6th grade and I'm in 10th grade now, so yeah, you'll get why I decided to write a book about gangsters. Puro gangsters kaya uso noon! Naki-uso lang ako. Hahaha! I had been wanting to end this na kasi ayoko na ng gangsters chuchu and I have more than 10 stories in my drafts right now but I didn't want to publish them yet because this was still on going so yeah, I was a bit in a hurry because I wanna start them already.

(I hope you still like how this ended, though.)

I even thought of deleting this but I did not because of you, yes you. Thank you for keeping up with me despite the slow updates. Whoever you are, be it an active or a silent reader, as long as you've come to this point, thank you so much! It meant a lot.

Yung fact lang na nalagpasan mo 'yung Chapters 1-30 (na sobrang pangit pa ng pagkakasulat) sobrang laking bagay na.

For most people, pag nabasa nila yung parts na yun maybe ireremove na nila sa Library dahil ang childish ng format. Like hello? Emoticons? Really? But YOU, you gave this story a chance to be appreciated and loved.

I did not really expect this to get readers aside from the Youngs.

Q: Youngs are real?
A: They are. When I was 12, I really liked 'TBYD-NTBG' by Alesana_Marie, so I joined this facebook group for Jamantha Shippers. I have the 'second lead guy syndrome,' so I was definitely rooting for Jared Dela Cruz (he was my first love). Hence, it's JAMANTHA over SAMANTOP for me. And there I met new friends, and later on we created a much more private group called 'The Young Family.' Ate Sacchan posted a Wattpad story entitled 'Young, Wild, and Free' kung saan kami ang characters. I requested my character to be a gangster so she did. After a few days, I wanted to have my character's side story so I made this. That's the reason why Rianne Young has a lot of siblings. Lol.

It was hard of course, dahil nga side story ito, kailangan ko ring isulat dito ang ibang parts sa side stories ng iba na kasama si 'Rianne Young'. One of the reasons why it's hard is that nababago at nadedelay yung original plot ko. Imbis na itong next scene na ang isusulat ko, I needed to add this and that pa dahil nandun 'to sa story ng ibang Youngs. Everything's connected. But I managed though. (I wanna pat myself for it. Yey!)

So as I was saying, I did not really expect this to get readers aside from the Youngs but it did. And thank you, really. Imagine, nearly 4 years bago ko natapos ito but you are still here. I hope this will not be the last time I'll see your usernames commenting on my works. I'll seriously miss you. :)

Thank you—for staying.
