This is a sequel to my first book, Against the playbook. Ellie Crawford has it all, fame, fortune, and a career most athletes can only dream of. As one of the NFL's top wide receivers, she's just signed with the New York Jets, securing her legacy in the sport she's dedicated her life to. Off the field, she's thriving too, her name is everywhere, her nightlife is wild, and she's in a steady, comfortable relationship. By all accounts, she's winning. Juliet Baldwin is just as successful, CEO of Baldwin Lux, a multi-billion-dollar empire that dominates the luxury industry. Ruthless, polished, and untouchable, she's spent the last few years shaping her legacy in a world where there's no room for weakness. Love? That was a distraction. One she convinced herself she left behind. It's been six years since Ellie and Juliet walked away from each other, both believing they were better off apart. But when fate pulls them back into the same city, old wounds resurface, old sparks reignite, and suddenly, the lines between past and present start to blur.

She stayed until loving her meant losing herself. Published: May 12, 2026

Healing takes time, especially when the wound is deep. Tapos na si Galia sa yugto ng kaniyang buhay kung saan wala ng Faith Gervacio na makakasira ulit sa kaniya. After nine years of separation, she didn't expect na babalik ulit ito. But she did. Pero para ano? All she thought was pure revenge. Pero bakit sa tuwing nakikita niya itong umiiyak, nasasaktan siya? Sa tuwing nakikita niya itong nasasaktan, umaayaw siya sa mga planong siya mismo ang bumuo. Is it because she still had feelings for her? O sadyang hindi lang siya ganong klase ng tao kagaya ng iniisip ng mga taong walang alam sa kung anong pinagdaanan niya? Kung anong klaseng nakaraan ang kaniyang kinabubuhayan na hindi na dapat. Maybe some wounds don't heal, they just learn how to stay quiet. At may mga nakaraan na kahit gaano mo piliting talikuran, ikaw pa rin ang hinahabol.

(This story is in Tagalog and English) (GL) Note: This is a slowburn story. They say some feelings come quietly. Red Santillan's didn't.
