MONTELIRIO SERIES #2 Gianna Emanuel Soriano is the president of the College of Social Sciences Student Council. She's quiet, a leaver, someone who avoids certain situations if she knows they won't do her any good. She grew up with parents who were physically present but emotionally distant, so she learned to hide her emotions and keep them to herself. Gianna believed that if she could remove herself from a situation that could potentially hurt her, there was no reason to wait for it to happen. She would leave immediately to protect herself from the pain. She believed that she had to have everything figured out, and if she could, she would achieve everything all at once. So when she met Kai Damon Villareal, the university's SSG president, who takes his time and never does things out of haste but with complete control of every situation, she felt like she needed to step away from him. The more she avoided Kai, the more he tried to get closer to her. What she didn't realize was that the more she avoided him, the harder she fell for him. Being with a man like Kai Damon would eventually teach her that she could take things slowly-that she didn't have to rush everything. And just when she finally learned to move at life's own pace, the universe began pulling her back, making her feel as though she couldn't have everything... not all at once.

MONTELIRIO SERIES #1 Life never gave Sienna something to look forward to. She was never the type to stand out in anything; she always needed to try to be something, so she never bothered to be much more. For Sienna, life is a mosaic of everything that needs meaning- an unfinished mosaic waiting to be assembled. She was never careful, yet you'd find her on tiptoes, scared to break, but still dancing around shards of glass. Careful, but never calculated. She was everything in between. Life is full of uncertainties- she knows that. She has always had a lot of questions about life. Every pause, every change, every turn- she questioned them all. And for someone who questioned life so much, she was grateful to have Rafael, who would find answers even in the deepest questions she kept for herself. Rafael promised that if life is an unfinished mosaic for Sienna, then he would help her pick up every piece, every fragment she lived, and make something beautiful out of it. And in the place where things don't fully make sense yet- not meaningless, but not quite full of meaning- Sienna waited, hoping the pieces would someday fit.
