Hi guys,
How are you all? Thanks so freaking much for the reviews. YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO LOVED.
I'm back. I just had a work deadline and then I was supposed to go visit family but the coronavirus has got me all paranoid. So I'm back and going to post another chapter tomorrow.
I wanted to take a moment to explain some stuff about the story before I start posting new chapters.
Since I'm portraying the South Asian culture, a lot of what Ana, will say and do in regards to her situation with feel incredibly frustrating to you all. I don't mean to paint my culture in a bad light at all but more so just highlight what I've seen and in some cases experienced. The culture and traditions are beautiful but thanks to toxic masculinity and the patriarchy, a lot of the shit that Ana will go through will feel disturbing. A lot of you are already like, "Well why doesn't she just tell her mom and Nani." There are a lot of layers and secrets that will reveal themselves and it will make sense but it still won't feel right on a personal level but if women go through a lot of shit and it's not right but here we are.
This story will really challenge Christian too. He will final realize that there is a limit to his reach. His dominant tendencies will not be able to win this time.
While Ana will seem submissive in regards to the culture she will be anything but.
If you have any questions; please let me know. I've been replying to reviews via PM too.
How are you all doing? Please stay safe and be sure to wash your hands a lot.
Much love,
Nadia.
EDIT UPDATE:
I realized after a few reviews that Ana's family and religious background may seem really confusing so I'm going to clear that up here.
Nana and Nani are originally Kashmiri and Muslim but settled in India before finally moving to San Francisco. They have two daughers, Nita and Alia who are also muslim but chose to marry outside of the faith.
Nita married Raymond Steele and embraced Ana as her own.
Alia married Rish Kapadia and has two children, Vishaal and Kiran - they both indentify as Hindu.
Karan and Aashu (real name: Aasha) are Arsh Kapadia's children. Arsh and Rish Kapadia are brothers who own Kapadia Global Industries.
Rania is Nana's sister's grand daughter. She identifies as Muslim. Rania has a brother Ahad and a younger sister Priya. Rania is married Raees and has a daughter named Aria.
There are a few more characters who will eventually make an appearance in the story but for now, these are the main ones from Ana's past.
