✔ | Sun Rays Series #2 Redler is quiet by choice, or so it seems. An introverted ABM student, she speaks only when her words truly matter, choosing to write instead. In school, she often feels invisible, as if she exists only in the background of everyone else's lives. Davin is the opposite. A HUMSS student, loud, expressive, and impossible to ignore. He talks too much, laughs too freely, and fills spaces Redler prefers to avoid. Pero sa dami ng taong nasa paligid niya, si Redler lang ang pinili niyang tingnan. He teases her, dedicated his artworks to her, and reads everything she writes. Slowly, without realizing it, Redler begins to open up. What starts as unwanted attention turns into comfort, then something neither of them expected. Pero ang katahimikan at ingay, pareho ring may tinatagong sugat. As words begin to falter and hues lose their brightness, they must decide whether to stay at the shore where it feels safe, or pursue something uncertain together.

At sa isang pagkikitang hindi planado, nagsimulang mabuo ang tanong: Paano kung ang kulang sa buhay mo ay yung taong hindi mo kailanman inaasahan? ‎ ‎Sabay-sabay nating subaybayan ang kwento nina Lorenzo at Mira, dalawang taong hindi inaasahang matutuklasan na may bahagi pala sa kanilang sarili na matagal nang nakakulong... at sa isa't isa lang pala makakawala.

This is the 1st book of Casa del Pueblo Series

My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 11/20/2020 Ended: 01/29/2021 How far would you go for someone? How many hailstorms and dark clouds would you endure? How many falling stars would you wait for to make a single wish come true? For Reese Deborah Madrid, the sky was the limit. She was used to having whatever she wanted. Clothes? Shoes? Jewelry? Name it. She could get it without putting in so much effort. So, when she hoped for another shot of love with her ex-boyfriend, she was ready to sacrifice everything to win him back. Even if that meant she had to look stupid and desperate. Even that meant she had to suffer through the pain of watching him be disgusted by her. Even if that meant she had to deal with his harsh words and apathy. She did everything in her power to go back into his arms. She stood up to the rain that soaked her and the sun that burned her skin. She waited from daybreak to nightfall, hoping that he would eventually fall back in love with her. She thought she was getting there. She felt like she'd made it. But then, in the world where she could be anything, she lost everything in the name of her love for him. Because much like the sky, Harvin Rouge Foster was only meant to be loved from afar.
