All her family members and friends are anticipating her wedding before the year ends.

When Franco moved to Manila for college, he told himself that he'll experience everything there is to experience. And he did. His first year could be considered as... scandalous, to say the least. So when his sophomore year came, he promised himself that he'll do better para na rin sa future niya. He intended to join this prestigious organization that would surely help his career in the future. When Franco joined AIESEC, he knew his life would change... little did he know, magbabago talaga ang buhay niya nang makilala niya si Joaquin Lorenzo Santillan-the perfect student who's beloved by everyone. Franco was in awe. Every where Joaquin goes, his presence commanded respect. His presence was magnetic, his smile effortless, his charm undeniable. And he was nice-so nice that Franco unknowingly followed him around, like he was orbiting around Joaquin's magnetic presence, eager for him to be noticed. Akala ni Franco ay okay ang lahat. Naka-pasok na siya sa org. Mukhang magiging kaibigan niya na si Joaquin. But one night, few beers after, his world seemingly collapsed when Joaquin stared him in the eye and said, "In case there's any confusion, let me make it clear-I'm not gay." Franco's world tilted on its axis, crumbling in an instant. Now, his mission was simple: survival. Avoid Joaquin at all costs. Erase the memory of that moment, of those eyes, of the touch that seemed to linger impossibly on his skin. Little did he know, some marks aren't so easily erased.

They say the classics never really went away. Like those red doll shoes that somehow manage to never go out of style. My guess is you can still spot at least one of these in this day and age: 1. A vinyl of Billy Joel's Piano Man spinning on your college roommate's desk 2. Love letters scribbled on the backs of postcards (Or) 3. A stack of developed film photos resting on your coffee table For Ian Decalion, his memory of a classic goes like this: 1. A yellow-orange tint spilling over the sea 2. The butter-yellow sundress (And) 3. A haunting seven-year love he never confessed... to a girl who's bound to break everyone's heart anyway My guess again? Some classics are just meant to last and haunt you for a lifetime. Kiss Mary Jane, #0 (Duology) LACED-UP MARY JANES June 2025 Started: June 11, 2025 [Book One] Finished: -- [Book Two] Finished: --

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.
