TRUST SERIES #1 She believed being the best was the only way to be loved. Until losing changed everything. Maria Corazon Diaz is a STEM student who's built her life around academic excellence. For her, success isn't just a goal-it's a necessity. Validation, pride, and love have always seemed tied to being the top of her class. She pushes herself beyond her limits, terrified of failure, terrified of disappointing anyone. But everything shatters when, for the first time, she loses-to Lavena, a girl who seems perfect, effortless, untouchable. Lavena becomes everything Cora wishes she could be-flawless, admired, and undeniably brilliant. What begins as intimidation spirals into obsession. And in chasing perfection, Cora slowly begins to lose herself. Blinded by insecurity, she pushes away the very people who see her beyond her grades-including Kiyo, her rival-turned confidant, whose presence reminds her too much of the person she can never become. In losing everything she thought made her worthy, Cora discovers that trust and love begin with accepting who she truly is. STARTED: 02/28/24 ENDED: 08/07/25

TRUST SERIES #2 Miciella Reverie Valencia gave up her studies when an offer to become a singer came at her lowest point. She used to be the kind of girl who smiled so brightly, no matter how hard life got. She always found a reason to believe things would be okay. But everything changed the day her father died in a tragic accident. She didn't just lose her father... She lost her joy. Her dreams. Her whole world. And from then on, nothing was ever the same. Rev was forced to stay strong for her mother, even when she was falling apart inside. People around her kept telling her to stand up, to move on, to be strong... yet no one ever truly saw her pain. For most of her life, she felt invalidated, invisible to the people around her, in a world that kept asking too much and giving too little. She kept going, kept singing, kept breathing... even though deep down, she was slowly breaking. So she poured her emotions into every note. Her songs weren't just melodies. They were the sound of her sorrow, the melody of her melancholy.
