I loved this and will be eagerly waiting for the next part ! Thank you for your hard work.

You wrote Benjamin's manipulative behaviour so well; I'm impressed by your commitment, as it makes him unlikable but extremely interesting to watch. My blood pressure was rising every time he entered the room. For now, he seems to act mostly behind the scene, and I'm curious to see it unfold (I'm quite sure he's to blame for some of the MC's lost relationships, and the chase in the forest was terrifyng enough).

Good luck! I hope you keep going; your work has definitely found its audience.
