The Criminal Diaries: Chapter 45. No More Suffering, Time To Exhale

Hello, my sweet estrellitas! Honestly, I could've ended "The Criminal Diaries" with the previous Chapter 44 since all the main storylines were wrapped up. Nothing super epic is planned in Chapter 45, and the following parts will be pre-wedding and wedding chapters. These are the chapters that were originally meant to be part of "The Lost and Forgotten Memories", but eventually became a part of "The Criminal Diaries" because I decided to continue the story. In this chapter, for example, the characters come together to celebrate a bachelor and bachelorette party and to take a break after everything they’ve been through lately. They let themselves breathe, put their heroic suits aside, and show off their wit. Of course, these chapters were originally a bit different, and I had to edit and adapt them to fit the current plot and at least some level of logic (for example, changing the locations of the celebration). I also had to shorten them since there were way too many unnecessary descriptions. Of course, there’s still much of what may seem unnecessary, but it’s not critical anymore. Besides, I believe that after everything they’ve gone through, my characters do really deserve a good rest, more laughter, silliness, and fun. You decide whether you read the following chapters or not, but I’ve already warned you that they are mostly meant to bring the story to a happy ending. However, these parts will either be completely removed or shortened in the condensed version of "The Criminal Diaries", which I plan to publish after finishing the full version. And the final chapter – now I can say it with a 100% guarantee – will be published on April 28th. Remember this date and come back to read the full version of the book if you’re not a fan of ongoing works and prefer to “swallow” everything at once. And me… I’ll be working on editing and continuing to release music for the series. By the way, about the editing… If you have my books from the "Stronger Together" series in your library, you may have noticed that their length is changing slightly. That’s because I’m editing certain parts I’ve been wanting to fix for a long time but only got time to do it now. These changes will not affect the plot, but they will make the books a little better and fix some logical inconsistencies. There are also a few questionable moments that need to be cleaned up. I’m not going to rush this process, and I’ll keep looking for things to fix without pressure. Of course, it will not magically turn them into top bestsellers, but at least there will be fewer “facepalm” moments that make you want to blush or even disappear into the ground. Thank you for your attention! Have a nice day! Love, Estrella Rose. FicFan: https://fic.fan/readfic/01944120-1b52-766e-9dbe-5b5ae2545a46 Book Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ-u_D7Jdn0
