Hiya, everyone! I've updated my book "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars". You can already read Chapter 30. I want to make one little annoucement. Along with stopping separating my books into several parts, I've also decided to stop separating chapters in a few parts. You can see I've edited my books to get rid of separated parts. No more Chapter 4, 4.2, 4.3, etc... BUT! But... It doesn't have to do with the latest chapter I publish. I will continue to separate chapters in a few parts to be often noticed on the Recently Updated page. I mean, I've just published the first part of Chapter 30, but the next parts will be released within a few days. Though, I will unite all parts in one somewhere one or two days before the release of the following chapter. So, you will see the full Chapter 30 some time before I finish the work on Chapter 31. Oh... I hope I explained it clearly...

So what, the second tenth was full of events and was a so-called peak of everything. Now things will be getting better. The characters will finally be able to relax a little. We're only 13 chapters away from the end of this story. Yes, yes, it will end! And I am letting you know how long you have to see it all. This chapter is kind of short and does not contain anything special. As I said before, this chapter is called the come-to-themselves one. The dumbfounded characters are trying to come to themselves after everything that happeened to them. The next two chapters will not be too long. They used to be one chapter, but I decided to separate them in two parts. And a little spoiler: I'm going to add the love scene in it. Yes, for the first time in a while. I hope it's gonna be interesting!

Anyway, I'd be madly happy if you liked this book, added it to your library and told me what you think of the storyline and the characters' actions. I hope you would't lose your interest for my book and would read it until the very end. My English is not perfect, but I'm doing my best to make my texts more or less readable.

To get a mood for reading, play the song Emily Osment — What About Me, the lyrics of which were used for the orginal title of the character.

Here's a little snippet from one of the parts, which will be published within a few days:

"What's your name?" the stranger asks.

"Mine?" Edward moves his rounded eyes to the stranger. "Erm... Edward..."

"So, Edward, never lose your hope for the best. Yes, maybe, you made some mistakes, but trust me, that's fine. Everyone gets wrong. There is no perfect person in the world. And we all have a right to a second chance. There is nothing bad in doing something wrong. But when you make a mistake, you will know what will be waiting for you and not repeat that mistake again. I'm sure if you got your girlfriend back, you'd do your best not to lose her. To give her happiness any woman deserves."

"I'd move a mountain for her..." Edward sighs heavily. "For that blue-eyed blonde beauty..."

"Do it then. Literally." The stranger slightly fixes his hat. "Remember, if your love for the girl is strong, you must prove it by your actions, not shout that you love her and can't live without her. You should show her that you're ready to do anything for her. She will appreciate it. Women adore someone to be ready to go through fire and water for them. And if the girl is totally in love with you, you will conquer her heart."

"Yeah..." Edward pronounces thoughtfully. "Maybe, you are right..."

"If your hearts belong to each other by fate, they will always belong. If you must be together, fate will bring you to each other, no matter how hard you resist. I know people that say they love, but don't actually know what real love is. Love is a very strong feeling that not everyone can feel. Sometimes it's like poison spreading all over the body and slowly killing a person inside. Only the antidote may save the person. If it's not found, the poison eats you entirely."

"Well... If it's about love like mine, it's probably the truth."

"I think in your case, the antidote is the girl you love. Only if you get her back, she will rescue your soul and fix your heart that is broken into little pieces."

"Do you think this love will kill me if I don't get her back or find a way to get rid of it?" Edward frowns slightly, looking at the stranger surprisingly.

"Maybe. There are two ways to recover: trying to get back the one, who stole your heart, or striking her out of your life and getting rid of everything related to her. Living and suffering from feelings for someone that has never answered you back or felt out of love with you is not the solution."

Have a good day!
Love, Estrella Rose.
