Culpa mía es una película basada en la trilogía "Culpables" - Disponible en Amazon Prime. ¡Disponible los 16 primeros capítulos! **Ganadora del premio Watty 2016 elección del público** ¿Cómo iba a saber que cuando mi madre se fue en aquel crucero de vacaciones iba a terminar volviendo con un anillo de diamantes en el dedo y con un marido millonario colgando del brazo? No paro de repetirme que todo esto no puede ser real, que no es posible que se haya casado de sopetón en medio de la nada, que mi madre es una persona responsable, que no haría algo así, que no me haría algo así. Pues lo ha hecho. Y no solo eso, sino que ahora tenemos que mudarnos, tenemos que cruzar todo el país para vivir con ese hombre y con su hijo; tengo que dejar mi instituto, mis amigos, y mi novio, y todo ¿para qué? Para que mi madre pueda vivir su sueño adolescente y hacer como si todo lo que hemos tenido que superar durante años no hubiese existido. Lo que sí que no esperaba, y esto lo digo completamente enserio, era tener que convivir con alguien como Nicholas. Alto, ojazos azules, pelo negro como la noche... ¿suena genial verdad? Pues no, un rotundo no. Le odio... y bueno, él también me odia a mí. La cosa es ver quien termina por matarse antes... Porque os lo digo de todo corazón, Nicholas Leister ha sido creado para amargarme la vida. ¿Quién diría que iba a terminar enamorándome de él? Espero que os guste la historia de amor de Nick y Noah; he trabajado muy duro en ella y le tengo mucho cariño, la comparto aquí para que otros puedan conocerlos y enamorarse con ellos :) Culpa mía esta registrada en Safe Creative: con el código #1501142999966 por lo que no se puede copiar o plagiar o difundir por ningún medio. ¡¡Muchas gracias y espero vuestros comentarios, hacerme saber si os gusta!! ;)

The most painful feeling is being unwanted by the person you wanted the most. For me, he's my everything but for him, I'm the one who ruined his everything.

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.

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.
