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.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | R-18 | COMPLETED | S T A N D A L O N E N O V E L | All she ever wanted was to be happy. Hindi siya ang tipo ng taong mapaghangad ng mga bagay na hindi niya maaabot o mayayakap. Kaya naman halos takasan siya ng bait nang dumating ang araw na kinailangan niyang unahin ang sarili bago ang iba. Alam niyang hindi magtatapos ang lahat sa paghingi lang ng kapatawaran sa mga naapektuhan dahil kahit saang anggulo mang tingnan, malaki ang kasalanan niya at walang ibang maaaring sisihin kundi siya lamang. Nang hilingin ng taong pinagkakautangan niya ang pagsuko niya ng kanyang sarili dito upang mabayaran ang napakalaking pagkakautang, wala siyang ibang nagawa kundi isuko na lamang ang sarili. Hindi na siya umaasang magiging maayos pa ang pagtrato nito sa kanya lalo pa't terible ang atraso niya rito. Ngunit may kakaiba sa paraan ng pakikitungo nito sa kanya na ayaw niyang bigyan ng pangalan. Naroon lang siya upang magbayad ng malaking pagkakautang. Ayaw niyang umasa, at mas lalong ayaw niyang masaktan. Hanggang kailan niya kayang manindigan na tanging paniningil lamang sa kaniya ang pakay nito kung habang tumatagal ay lalo lang siyang hindi makawala rito? Hanggang kailan tatagal ang pagbabayad niya kung wala rin itong balak na pakawalan siya kahit na kailan? -- THIS IS A STAND ALONE NOVEL! This has NOTHING to do with Freezell Series.

Nadia de Marco knew what she wanted in life and that is to be the most powerful woman in the country. Growing up in the Philippines, she knew that it would be an uphill climb. There is misogyny everywhere, but instead of fighting it, she decided to use it to her advantage. That is probably the upside of being undermined, being almost invisible-people will never see you coming. While she was watching everyone's moves, no one was watching hers. Things were going according to plan until Avery Brienne Eliseo came into the picture. Suddenly, she got an enemy. And unlike Avery who has her cousin by her side, she has no one. And she needs to have someone. She's been looking for so long until she found Archibald Reign Gallego-the perfect partner in crime... or so she thought.

When her longtime boyfriend proposes to her, Nari does not seem happy. She rejects him, hoping he would understand. But two years, seven days, three hours, five minutes, and thirty seconds later, Nari enters a church and watches him get married to someone else. *** At 21, Nari Miranda graduates from college wanting to complete her bucket list-being independent, visiting the US, traveling Europe, and adopting a dog-so when Benny, her longtime boyfriend proposes and surprises her with a house-their own house--she doesn't feel right. Until she follows the first thing she thinks of that moment: she rejects him. Nari hopes that everything will still be okay between them, but seeing Benny with another girl becomes too much for her. Feeling broken, she goes to a bar to drink her pain away and meets Preston, the man she always coincidentally crosses paths with, not knowing her life will take a whole new different turn.
