MONROE LIM MA. AURI CHAE ARCETA [intersex] Love is....trust? Or War? 🚨Content warning🚨: This story contains depictions of violence, hateful speech and sexual explicit content that may be upsetting for some readers. Reader discretion is advised.

Every story begins and ends with a page. Some are written in joy, some in silence, some in heartbreak. We think goodbyes close the book for good. But sometimes, endings are only pauses. A blank page waiting, quietly, for the courage to begin again. Five years later, two paths cross once more - not as they were, but as who they've become. Carrying the weight of old chapters, yet still reaching for the possibility of something new. This is not about rewriting the past. It's about what happens after. Another chapter. Another pahina.

Maraiah Queen Arceta-Aiah-is the fashion world's rising phenomenon, a woman who turns every runway into her kingdom. But behind the lights and cameras lies a secret she guards fiercely: her complicated, dangerous, and intoxicating connection with Mikhael Jan Lim, the youngest and richest billionaire in the world. They're friends. They're lovers. They're everything-yet nothing clearly defined. Mikhael, cold and unreachable to everyone else, becomes a different man around her: clingy, protective, possessive in ways he refuses to admit. He wants her close but fears what naming their connection would mean. And Aiah, caught in the warmth of his touch and the silence of his heart, keeps giving pieces of herself-hoping one day he'll hold them all. But when Chole Raze Verg, a brilliant and dangerously charming rising tycoon, enters the picture with eyes only for Aiah, a silent war begins. Rivalry brews. Tension sparks. And the walls Mikhael hides behind start to crack.

Born into a family of secrets and betrayal. Mikayla witnessed her parents execution at a young age. He was then adopted by his uncle, The Don of the Organization. He groomed her to be the next Don of the Mafia Underworld-- Portraying to be a legitimate business. Their family hides it behind the massive recording company called "Sinner's Road Records". Guns. Death. Chaos. Money. Sex. Betrayal. Music. Friendships. Her world revolves around someone else's fantasy world. Not until she met the woman who would show her that change is inevitable.

In a small coffee shop, their worlds collide every morning. Mikha, the chaos. Aiah, the calm. A party girl who dates everyone. A scholar who doesn't date at all. A bisexual heart that falls too fast. A straight girl who swears she never will. Pero minsan... isang kape, isang ngiti, at isang araw na ibang-iba ang sapat para magulo ang mundong matagal nang tahimik.

"They say love is sweeter the second time around... but what if that second chance still falls apart, broken by mistrust and doubt? What if, after years of being apart, fate once again plays its tricks-crossing your paths once more, only this time, one of you is finally ready to give everything, just to hold the other in their arms again? Will they take that chance, or let it slip away forever? Are they truly meant to be each other's endgame-or there is someone else out there, destined for them instead?"

........ "She saved me from the darkness I thought would consume me forever. But salvation is never free. The more I held on to her light, the tighter my chains became. If she leaves... I'll break. If she stays... I'll never let go." ??? never thought that one act of kindness would bind her to ??? forever. To ??? she isn't just a friend-she's salvation, the only reason to keep breathing. But salvation can be dangerous... especially when the one you saved refuses to set you free. ________________________________________ ⚠️Content Warning: This story contains mature themes including sexual violence, trauma, obsession, and unhealthy relationships.
