** spoiler alert ** If you're expecting another Zade, stop, and turn around. Zade is Zade, and there will never be another him. One day, some of you will have to accept that I have no plans to 😂 Ronaldo is a character of his own, and truthfully, more of a mobster than a stalker.

I never ever planned to write Gigi and Ronaldo's story. When I wrote Haunting Adeline, it wasn't even in the realm of possibility because of her tragedy.

But then a publisher wanted it, and only asked for a tiny 40k novella, and well, I said why not. So then Phantom was born. Except, I wrote a book double what I was supposed to. Oops.

Let me add a huge important note: The timeline of Phantom goes off of the *updated* version of Haunting and it's journal entries. If you go off the original entries, the timeline and events in the entries will make no sense.

Annoying? Very. Trust me, no one is more irritated by that than me lmao. I cursed past, unambitious HD for about 3 days straight.

Again, I never planned on giving Gigi a story back in 2020 when I started writing Haunting, so when I wrote those journal entries, I didn't give too much thought to the unfolding of her story. But the moment I dived into Gigi's book, her REAL story quickly unfolded, and suffice to say, my old entries were just NOT going to work. If I tried, her story would've suffered greatly, and she's been handed enough injustices, I didn't want to add a story forced into a very tight box on top of it.

If I was going to write her story, I was going to write it how it needed to be. So I made the decision to adjust her old entries in HA to match. Again, annoying, but very necessary.

Anyway, my focus for this story was their love. I know my readers are used to plot heavy books with chaos at every corner, but Gigi's chaos ends in such a tragic way that I wanted to focus on the portion of her life where she experienced true love and passion. Boring? Maybe to some, but true love can be boring sometimes.

Eventually, I MAY give you all more insight into the chaos, and idk, maybe her ending won't be what it seems. But for now, you have the option to read the calm before the storm.

*Bows dramatically* enjoy, y'all. Or don't, that's an option, too. 😘
