Hi,

I read this story a long, long, long time ago.

I never reviewed because I was lazy. However, having said that I just wanted you to know that you're story is beautiful, poignant and heartbreaking.

I think in the grand scheme of things that the ending was right as Raissa and Aiden could never be together and have what normal couples have. Aiden was far too damaged by his past and the fact that he was powerless to stop his sister from being harmed. This coupled with the fact that his adopted parents took him away from her and concealed what had happened after left him consumed with rage and twisted.

Also in a sense both had their happy endings. Raissa met someone else and became a lawyer. She was free from servitude and her mother. Whereas Aiden had finally escaped his parents.

I hope you write other stories, I would love to read them.

Stories like this, and writers like you, are the reason I read the first couple chapters, get a feel for the characters, then read the end to see if its worth the emotional ups and downs of a romance story to get to the happy ending. You see, I detest angst, I adore fluff, and I absolutely love a good romance with a happy ending.

I don't like triangles, or slash, or tragic, romantic deaths... I love LOVE not pain.

So... obviously this story was NOT my cup of tea... BUT it was very well written and shows you have a great deal of talent and the potential to be one of the GREAT writers. Keep writing, talent is a gift that should not be wasted.

i cant say that i dont see this story ending this way.

aidan and rissa love story was full of angst and sadness i somehow expect them not to be together at the end.

this is not a sad ending, it's the best ending because it's realistic and suits the characters' and plot

all i can say is that, ive never read a story as stupid as yours in my entire life. There are more errors than i can count.

EDIT

CAN YOU LIKE STOP USING EXCLAMATORY MARK AT THE END OF EVERY SING FREAKIN' SENTENCE?

this story was beyond amazing...i wanted them to be happy and "live happily ever after" but i know that it wouldnt be realistic...i dont think you should make a sequel though cuz then it might end up ruining this story.

i really can't get over how fantastic this story was...i just want to go up to Aidan and give him a big bear hug...wow wouldnt that be awesome ]

...wow... that was so...wow.. You can defintely write. High praises.

All I can say is EDIT. It's difficult to read when every other line has errors.

OMG!

I can't believe the didn't end up together. *Cries* Even though there wasn't a really happy ending, this story was still good. Keep up the good work!

Take care!

I already love your story! I love how you started it with the ‘once upon a time’ theory. You’re so right! K, off to the next chapter!

GOOD STORY.

Good story.

A rather sad story but nevertheless beautiful. I would not want another ending either. This ending seems the most perfect. Other stories, when they have a sad ending it makes me feel that i have read it in vain but urs, it really fits it perfectly well. I hope u will write another story soon

wel that...was a bittersweet ending. by far one of the most intense stories ever that i can definately relate to in some ways...i wish u could make a sequel and make it where lewis and conrad have a happy ending but if not then oh well i guess

wow
