[COMPLETE] Azalea Rieko and Kleon Ace Labera Ang akala ni Azalea mananatili ang mundo niyang tahimik at dati'y walang pakialam sa mundo, walang pakialam sa nangyayari sa kaniyang paligid, ang hindi niya alam ay may lalaking habol ng habol sa kaniya kahit saan man siya mag punta. Ang lalaki yun ay si Kleon Ace 'king' Labera. Si Kleon o King ay may dalawang kaanyoan, kapag nasa loob siya ng campus ay nerd siya at mahina, laging binubully at sinasaktan, ngunit kapag nasa labas ng school ay ang tawag sa kaniya ay King, dahil malakas siya at walang kinakatakutan (akala ng lahat) dahil ang isang kinakatakutan ni Kleon ay isang Azalea Rieko lang naman. Akala ni Azal bato na ang kaniyang puso, akala niya hindi siya iibig sa mga lalaki dahil para sa kaniya makakasira ito sa kaniyang pangarap sa buhay, pero nagkamali siya dahil hindi nagtagal ay nahulog din siya sa isang Kleon o King. _________________ Date started: March 06, 2022 Date finished: October 27, 2022

R18/SPG Scene. ⚠️ Behind her fierce facade and guarded heart is Hyacinth-a woman once ridiculed, laughed at, and broken by the very people. Among them was Zian Aurelius Aguirre, the boy who led the teasing, whose arrogant charm made him both unbearable and unforgettable. But just when she thought she had him figured out, he changed. From a relentless teaser, he became her protector-gentle, patient, and unexpectedly kind. Slowly, against her will, she began to fall. But one day, the truth shattered her heart-something so painful it forced her to walk away without looking back. She disappeared, changed herself, and built walls so high no one could climb them. She swore never to be vulnerable again. Years passed, and fate played its cruel trick. Hyacinth and Zian's paths crossed once more-this time through an arranged marriage she never wanted. She fought it, resisted with all her might, but she lost the battle. And with it, she buried her heart even deeper, determined to be heartless, cold, unyielding. But how do you fight a love that refuses to fade? Zian, now a man of quiet persistence, stays by her side-never giving up, never walking away. With every gesture, every word, every moment they share as husband and wife, the walls she built begin to crack. "Behind the Walls" is a story of pain, redemption, and the haunting pull of a love that never truly died. When the past and present collide, can Hyacinth stop her heart from remembering? Or is she destined to fall once more-for the man who once broke her?

Dominic John Pierceton is the perfect gentleman-a tall, devastatingly handsome American ambassador with a chiseled jawline, piercing blue eyes, and a carefully measured charm that commands every room. His life is built on control, his reputation spotless, his restraint unwavering. But the moment he meets Maria Elenna "Mela" Dellos Valles-Montejo-the shy, eighteen-year-old daughter of the Philippine President with a quiet grace that hides her own buried desires-his world tilts in ways he never anticipated. Mela's innocence is disarming, her blushes revealing what her lips won't dare say. She's only known men like him in the pages of her sister's forbidden romance novels, but Dominic's attention stirs something deeper, something that makes her heart race and leaves her wanting more. For Mela, the stakes are just as high; she knows how hard her mother worked to become president, and risking her family's reputation is the last thing she wants. Yet, with each encounter, she finds herself caught between loyalty to her family and her undeniable pull toward the ambassador. Dominic tells himself he must keep his distance, yet every stolen glance, every accidental touch ignites a desire he can't ignore. Bound by duty and a flawless public image, he's always been in control-but with Mela, that control begins to slip. Behind closed doors, propriety and restraint give way to something darker, a chemistry neither of them can resist. Their worlds are at stake, and yet, neither can bring themselves to walk away. With each encounter, the pull between them grows stronger, promising a forbidden romance that will test how far The Gentleman is willing to go-and just how much Mela is willing to risk.
