As he enters a casual fling with Diablo Delgado, he discovers that love, patience, and acceptance might be the blueprint to healing and embracing his true self. *** Santiago Alverio has always lived by the rules of his family, peers, and a silent world that tells him who he should be. As a civil engineering student, he hides behind toxic masculinity and the fear of being noticed because of expectations and a homophobic upbringing. Then comes Diablo Delgado--fearless, affectionate, and unapologetically himself. What begins as a no-strings "friends with benefits" arrangement slowly converts into something deeper. With every touch, every unguarded smile, Diablo breaks the walls Santi has built around his heart. But love is never simple. Santi is caught between family pressures, societal judgment, and his own insecurities. Will he ever realize that happiness was never about meeting expectations but about choosing the person who makes him feel whole? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish.

Fuck and Forget Series #1 Rainbows After the Rain is a quiet story of healing-of finding hope after the hurt, and realizing that sometimes, the most beautiful things come after the pain.

Vanessa Valencia Cervantes, a disaster-certified structural engineer, has spent her life building unshakable foundations-both in her career and her heart. ​ She doesn't need love, and she certainly doesn't need anyone telling her what she's missing. ​ But when an earthquake traps her with Celine Amarante Lucero, a sharp-tongued criminal defense attorney who wears confidence like armor, everything changes. ​ Four days under a broken ceiling turn survival into intimacy, and touch into vows neither of them expected. ​ Now, they're no longer just survivors-they're each other's only case. ​ Objection: Mine. ​ No hearings. No appeals. ​ Just one final ruling-she's hers.
