Eros Soledad de Merced was born to lead, rule, and dominate. Born as the eldest grandson of Soledad de Merced, everyone knew the weight of the crown he was born to carry. He was a man destined to lead. A boy who was born to rule. A man who carried the weight of his responsibilities with excellence and perfection.

It was perfect, it was good... until it wasn't. One summer. A girl named Winter. Cold as her name might sound, yet she was able to set fire to his perfectly drawn life. The plans that were carefully built along his path suddenly became unclear. And amid his crumbling life was her, Winter Eloise Cojuangco.

(Home of the Winds #4) Started: 11/07/2020 Ended: 03/26/2025 She is fierce and confident. She thrives on her own terms and she never let anyone control her. Amara Solaire Delavine has spent years carrying the burden of the past and unable to forgive the person who ruined her life. It feels like she's been cruising on endless waves, constantly tossed around by her pain. But what if those waves could carry her to something more, something better? Sabi nila, ang pag-ibig ay hindi hinahanap, hindi hinihingi, hindi nabibili, hindi pinipilit, at hindi minamadali. It's something that hits you when you least expect it. And when it does, it's hard to get up especially when you fully swept away by the waves of love.

They say he was a quiet man- someone who never spoke much in a crowd, who never laughed out loud, not even at a clown. But that never made sense to Sheir. Because the man she knew never knew how to shut up. Zien Silas Abarico was always the loudest when she was in the room... and the quietest when she wasn't. He memorized every part of her by heart, uttering her name, Sheir Rachel Dolina, as if it were the most delicate crystal- too fragile for anyone to touch, not even him. Their friendship was perfectly imperfect. He was whole; she was empty. She liked him. He didn't- or at least, that's what she chose to believe. But still, they clicked. He filled every broken part of her, sealed all the cracks, soothed the bruises she hid so well- only for him to break them apart again, worse than they were before. Now, she can't even pick up the pieces he made because the cut stings so bad it hurt. So how can they go back to the friendship they made after all the pain they caused? How can they look in each other's eyes and pretend like the years they spend was just a fleeting memory? Can things really go back to the way they were? Or will they have to accept that not all friendships are meant to last... And not all love is meant to be known? Because some stories are just meant to be left- Unsaid. And unheard.
