Love Written Series #1 "Whenever life gets hard, sa'kin ka didiretso ha? Hindi palayo. Hindi pataas. Padiresto, sa akin." I, Samantha Eunzelle Cordelio, have loved Vale Amadeus Confuego from the moment I first laid eyes on him. His golden irises felt like a universe I was destined to get lost in. I loved him through every broken part, every scar he tried to hide, every silence he wore like armor. No matter how dark the world was to him, I chose to stay. I chose him-all of him. Vale is brilliant beyond words. He's the kind of person whose creativity drips from his fingertips-painting world, writing poems no one gets to read. But behind his prodigy is a boy shaped by cruelty. Bullied by strangers, dismissed by the person who should've been protecting him from the moment he was born-his father. And behind these existing dilemmas he's facing is something he doesn't know-something that even he hasn't uncovered. A truth buried deep in his past, hidden by those who feared what it could change. A truth that could shatter everything he believes about himself... or set him free. Can Eunzelle's love reach the version of him he doesn't even know is missing? Or will the criticisms he've been receiving and the secrets that's been kept from him be the very thing that destroys him? Date Started: 04/29/2025 Date Finished: ??

Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022
