A Beautiful Mistake First Installation. "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 I don't even know how it happened---how I fell for her or why she fascinates me so much. I can't pinpoint when it started, but one day, I just found myself drawn to the very temptation I swore I'd resist. I kept asking myself why... why did I let myself be seduced by someone like her? She has no morals. She's not the kind of woman I ever pictured spending my life with. Yet every time I searched for an answer, one thought kept agonizing me. Maybe it's her smile---the flashiest one I've ever seen. The way it melts away my worries whenever she's near. The way time slips by so effortlessly when I'm with her. Maybe I just sympathize with her because I see her in the wrong light the first time I've known her. Or just maybe I'm just fooling myself. But no matter how much I deny it, I know the truth now. I am... decisively... in love with her. (Book cover photo grabbed from Instagram. Credits for carolinecooperphoto (@carolinecooperphoto) for the original photo.) STARTED: 10/13/23 STATUS: Ongoing

A Beautiful Mistake #2 "Ano pa bang masasakit na salita ang hindi ko narinig mula sa sariling nanay ko? Yung sasabihan akong walang kwentang anak? Na hindi ko kayang tapatan o higitan ang nakakabatang kapatid ko? Ginawa ko na ang lahat... pero mali pa din. Pinutol ko na ang sariling pakpak ko para lang maka-apak padin sa lupa at patuloy na hinahanap ang halaga ko bilang isang anak pero hindi padin iyon sapat. Hindi padin sapat na inalay ko na ang buong puso at buhay ko para mapasaya sila. Kailan ko pa ba deserve mahalin? Kung wala na ako?" Margaux sacrificed everything in order to please her mother, even though she gave up what her heart wanted. But it all seemed meaningless, as her mother never appreciated her efforts. Ano ba talaga ang sukatan ng halaga ng isang anak sa ina? Sa diploma ba? Sa walang katapusang achievements? O sa pagmamahal na walang hinihintay o hinihinging kapalit? All Margaux ever wanted was to feel loved and to be loved unconditionally. But it seems she's cursed on that thing. Until one day, someone came into her life and changed her perspective-showing her that she is deserving of love, no matter the circumstances she finds herself in. Will she find the love she truly deserves, even when things get tiring? And when the time comes, will she be ready to seek the great lengths in order to feel the love she wanted to experience?

A Beautiful Mistake #3 "I don't need someone to take care of me when I'm at the lowest point of my life. I'm used to being independent, and I don't rely on anyone when I'm all alone. But just because I appear strong doesn't mean I don't have my moments of weakness. Beneath this tough, fierce facade is a girl who longs to be loved-not for her looks or her body, but for who she truly is. And somehow, I think it's you who truly sees me." Brylie Winnow Alvarez is a fierce and strong woman, ready to conquer every challenge she faces. She feared no one, and she was not the type of woman who would submit to someone or kneel on someone. She even plays every man with her bare hands; that's why she is always tagged as a man player and man dumper. Whatever she wants she must get, even risking all. But her life changes in ways she doesn't expect when she notices a shy, conservative boy who attracts her attention. There's just one problem: his very protective best friend who wants to keep him away from Brylie's alluring wrath. Worse, he seems to know exactly what she's planning and will stop at nothing to keep his best friend safe from her. Will she manage to win over her dream guy or the annoying best friend of it turn the tables and her heart against her?

A Beautiful Mistake Series #4 "I hate you! I fucking hate you the moment I saw you and make me cry for the first time when we're young! Lahat nalang inagaw ng pamilya mo sa akin! Pero bakit? Bakit ikaw pa? Bakit ikaw pa ang sumasalo sa akin the moment I fell on the void that I can't escape? Bakit ikaw pa ang naging sandalan ko sa mga sandaling naging mahina ako para sa sarili ko? Bakit ikaw pa ang nagiging katuwang ko hanggang sa huli? Ayoko... ayoko ng ganito." Spoiled brat, bitchy, and party girl. Yan palagi ang bansag sa anak ng ex-governador na si Kellieri Shane Adamson. She is an untamed spoiled brat na ang hobby ay mangolekta ng boys, magsimuno ng gulo sa school, mang bully at laman lagi ng guidance office. Her parents are so disappointed in her. The way she lives her life is not typical of a decent woman; she is not the typical daughter of an ex-politician, they said. There's a time when her father always scolded her, but what are they going to do? Sanay na sya sa sermon. Not until she meets the new friends that can make her life shine again. Her high school friends brought another shine to her life again. They shaped her into a decent woman who can make her parents proud. However, fate seems to have a plan for her. She meets that guy again who can make her blood boil every day, and the guy feels the same, too. They always scolded each other, spit some hateful words, and rivaled in academics until they graduated. Years later, they found each other again, until the one-night accident between them changed their lives on a roller coaster. They have been together for one night, and Kellieri can't accept the fact that she gave herself to the man she doesn't love and hates the most. Do these things change the way they look at each other? Or is this just another way to make their hatred for each other go deeper?
