PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

Kung pwede ngang i-bake na lang ang napakaraming itlog sa test papers niya, ginawa niya na. At a young age, she experienced the harsh reality of life-poverty, abuse, and a broken family.

But little did she know, like the sun she adored, she was destined to be alone.

(Will be published under BOOKWARE PUBLISHING CORPORATION - PINK AND PURPLE imprint) Lucas Jaime Agoncillo, currently the President of Student Council was known for his good-super good looks and for his brains, being a consistent Dean's Lister since he entered the university.

Stasha Marie Villaruel, beautiful and bratty. Campus queenfor three consecutive years. Everybody in the campus called her Her Highness. Both are campus royalties. But they avoided each other's paths for underlying reasons unknown to both of them. Pareho nilang ini-snob ang isa't-isa sa campus. On the day of their foundation day, nagawa silang gawin partners sa isang marriage booth. "Groom, meet your bride, Her Highness Stasha Marie Villaruel. Bride, meet your groom, Mister President, Lucas Jaimes Agoncillo," sabi ng schoolmate nilang may pakana ng marriage booth na ginanap sa Art Room. Their eyes locked. Lucas held Stasha's gaze and then smiled-a gorgeous one at that. His eyes were glinting with amusement. Nagbaba ng tingin si Stasha. Hindi niya kayang matagalan ang tingin ni Lucas. At pagkatapos ay napadako ang tingin ni Lucas sa nakabukas na pinto ng Art Room. Lahat ng mga nagdadaang estudyante ay napapatingin sa loob. "Close the door, please," marahang utos ni Lucas sa isang naroroon na malapit sa pinto. "I don't want uninvited guests to my wedding." Napaangat si Stasha ng mukha at napatingin kay Lucas. And then Lucas smiled at Stasha as if teasing her. Isang ngiting lalong nagpapaguwapo kay Lucas. Isang ngiting madalang nitong maibigay kay Stasha. A BIG thank you to @yhang__yhang (yhangunnie) for my nice book cover. Please follow her ❤

Maswerte ang nakakakuha ng higit pa sa inaasahan, pero luhaan ang mga sumugal at natalo. Pero ganun paman, tulad ng sugal, kahit walang kasiguraduhan, marami paring umiibig, marami paring sumusugal. Dahil... Baka Sakali... Baka Sakali...
