New story version: "Lie About Love" (Available on my Wattpad profile too)

The thing with Valentine's Day is, either you hate it or you love it. And Zade Pascual definitely belongs to the first category. Para sa kanya, isang araw lang ito ng commercialized version ng pag-ibig. Walang kakilig-kilig at napakalayo sa true love stories na nababasa niya sa mga libro. Nasubok ang kanyang anti-Valentine's sentiment when she unexpectedly meets Andreau Cortez-an award-winning actor and film student at her university-in the cafe where she works-- on Valentine's Day of all days. Andreau, their new cafe regular, surprises Zade by asking for her help with his latest short film project, which she hesitantly agrees to. Despite a rocky start, Zade discovers the real Andreau Cortez beyond the camera and celebrity gossip. Over the fika-not date hangouts and late-night conversations, their effortless friendship blurs into something more, to the point na akala ng lahat (yes, friends and family included) na sila na ni Andreau. Caught off guard by her evolving feelings, Zade must confront her own heart. Hanggang best friend nga lang ba ang tingin niya kay Andreau? Can their story unfold like the happy endings she loves in books? Well, sometimes, the best love stories take time to tell.

Lost Island Series #5: "Listen to the song, to the symphony of the sea and sail towards the love that was lost yet found again." Cathalina once called the palace her home, but now it feels like a cage. Sheltered, hidden, and controlled, she was nothing more than a puppet, obeying the commands of those who dictated her life. Lost and lonely, she realized it was time to break free and rediscover herself. When her parents announced her arranged marriage, she had reached her limit. She refused to let others decide her fate any longer. This time, she would make her own choice-to search for the man her heart truly longed for. Fleeing into the night, she found herself aboard a ship, where she met the tall, enigmatic, with striking midnight-black eyes, and handsome Captain Lucian Alessandro Castanier. Would their love rewrite a fate that's been sealed long ago? Could it defy fate? Could it defy the very forces that threaten to tear them apart-even death itself? As they sail together upon the endless sea, will they reclaim a love that was once lost? Or would the cruel destiny make history repeat itself? Book 5 of Lost Island Series Note: Please read the first four stories related to this series before this one. Or, you can read any of the first four then this if you prefer. But I suggest you'll read this last for more thrill.
