Dear Readers,

As some of you may know, I've been getting some complaints about the story, which is completely fine. I'm happy that people care enough to correct me if I'm wrong.

However, I did want to apologize to anyone I have offended with this story. I know that rape is a big deal and it's not to be taken lightly. I'm not condoning rape, and I'm not saying its okay.

With that said, rape is a necessary component for my story. It's not pretty, but it's a big factor. I had originally planned to set this story around the medieval times, but I changed it to around the 1900s. I am open to anyone's opinions on whether or not I should change it and set it in the medieval period.

I will say this. The rape won't go on for the entire story. If you trust me as a writer and keep up with my story, you'll understand why the rape was necessary and how everything works out in the end. But I won't be insulted or anything if you decide to stop reading; it's your choice.

Once again I'd like to apologize if I've upset anyone. That wasn't my intention, and I hope you can forgive me.

Love,

Sadie
