Rejecting Iya's confessions is Jacob's norm. After sharing three kisses that Jacob claimed as meaningless, will Iya finally give up--or will she keep holding on until her dream romance turns into reality? *** "I'm falling for your meaningless kisses." Tatlong halik. Lahat, walang kahulugan. Hindi ko dapat panghawakan pero paano ba ang hindi umasa kung parang meron ang wala? *** I have always wanted to be Jacob Tejeron's bride since I was six years old. People downplayed it to just having an intense crush, a puppy love, or a superhero model. Naisip ko, baka gano'n nga. Baka tinitingala ko si Jacob dahil siya 'yong hero na laging nandiyan para sagipin ako sa lahat ng palpak. I thought I could outgrow this feeling. But like a bad habit, I kept on looking at him; I kept on wishing with him; I kept on falling for him⁠-when all I am to him is a sister. Hindi ako dapat umasa⁠-hindi dapat aasa⁠-kahit sa mga halik niyang wala namang kahulugan. Pero paano ang hindi umasa? #

A Royal Visit In Brooklyn (Lost Island Series Spin Off) Royal, beautiful, regal, and the next in line for the crown of Italy - that's how people see and describe Gabriela Romanov, the future queen from the royal dynasty Casa Savoia. She embodies beauty and perfection, admired by all. Yet, beneath the crown lies a lonely soul, longing for something more. She dreams of escaping the confines of her carefully orchestrated life, of experiencing the simple joys of the world beyond royalty. More than anything, she yearns for love-the kind that isn't dictated by duty or expectation. She never imagined it would happen. Her future has been set in stone. But fate takes an unexpected turn when she goes on a royal visit to Brooklyn and meets Captain Sebastian Gomez Baca-a man who is anything but refined. Brash, rugged, and utterly unlike anyone from her world. Could he be the one to grant her the freedom she craves? Will their love defy the odds, or will duty and destiny force them apart?

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.

(After High Series # 1) Saffron Rose Borromeo appears to have it all-top grades, family connections, and a guaranteed future in law. But appearances can be deceiving. Maximiliano Jose Delgado is her academic equal and complete opposite. Brilliant, intense, and fiercely independent, he seems to see right through her polished facade-and he clearly doesn't like what he sees. From their first day at the SCA- College of Law, they're locked in a rivalry that goes beyond textbooks and test scores. It's personal. It's consuming. And neither understands why the other brings out such strong reactions. But when good intentions collide with wounded pride, their carefully constructed worlds begin to crumble. Some secrets destroy trust. Some lies are meant to help. And sometimes, the person you're trying to save is the last person who wants your rescue.

(Trope Series # 1) Cerise's younger sister is getting married and she's expected to attend. The logical thing to do was to attend (duh, it's her sister's wedding! It would be weird if she's not there) but how could she attend when her sister's getting married to Leo, her ex best friend slash almost boyfriend from years ago? And it's not like she could just suddenly blurt out their 'history' because she's pretty sure that she'd be branded as bitter by their relatives... like, it's been years! Move on! She needed to attend. But she didn't want to go alone. She needed an arm candy, but not just any arm candy-she needed someone who would make her the envy of the night. Iyong tipo na walang magdadalawang isip kung nakapagmove on na ba talaga siya. She looked and looked and looked for the perfect wedding date. Until she wound up in a bar and met this bartender named Pablo.

Feeling the surging passion of being in love... just like the first day of spring where you feel like everything is positive and exciting... What if you feel it with a person, but that person makes you question your worth? Would you rather be with that person as you unravel every flaw and predicament he has, or choose to live a simple but incomplete fragmented life? Clamentine Caceres has always lived a simple life despite being born in a family who lives an extravagant life. Being a noticeably timid person, her goodness gets often abused by unethical people. However, she was never naïve. She knows her worth. Or so as she thought... She knows that picking pieces of broken glass could hurt her, but she still insisted and wished in her soft melody to mend his shattered trust.
