Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

An Epistolary ♡ | Sports Romance 🏀📰 In life, it's the little things that escape us... the glance that stays just a heartbeat too long, a forgotten cup of coffee cooling as someone drifts away in thought, the quiet ticking of time drowned out by the noise we choose to ignore. It's in these fleeting fragments, the shy smile tucked behind seriousness, moments of hesitation or silence that speak louder than words can carry concealed meanings that go unrecognized. Even the way someone's eyes brighten when talking about what they used to love, the silences thick with meaning, the little gestures, and unconscious habits that hidden emotions quietly live, waiting for someone else to notice them. It's within these unnoticed walls that Cailey Saavedra and Siobhan Rivero's fate unfolds at Sinclair Authreo de Epiphania University. What once were simple crossings now pulse with meaning. As Cailey steps into her role as Courtside Reporter, covering Siobhan's games, she starts to catch the subtle signs, the quiet glances, the little gesture that reveal something deeper than words. Amid the roar of cheering crowds and the rush of article's deadlines, a delicate, unspoken connection blooms, written not in headlines but in the silence between them.

Midnight Series #1 Is being smart a blessing. . . or a curse? Sera's life feels like a game- quiet, calculated, and always a step ahead. Like a chessboard laid out before her, where she moves as the queen and others exist merely as pieces. She's an independent woman. She doesn't need anyone. She knows her boundaries. She knows her worth. Or at least, that's what she believes. Then she meets a man who was the complete opposite of her. A man who doesn't plan ten steps ahead, only the next day. Someone who wakes up just to survive. A pawn, trapped in the same game she thought she had already mastered. She was never meant to fall. Yet somehow... she already does. -Sarvanta

Surrounded by people who always seemed sharper, quicker, more effortless than her, Amelie looked like the outcast who never quite fit in. And so, it was so easy for anyone to judge her. And maybe everyone was right about her. Because she's the daughter of Roberto who killed her best friend's parents. The daughter of a mistress. And the flirt who seduced the guy who once loved her best friend. But it was just as easy to misunderstand Yi-an for being perfect. Being the only son of the owners of the Lauzière Group, a global multi-industry empire. Calling him perfect is almost an understatement-he's brilliant, composed, and damn emotionally intelligent. But Amelie never chose her parents, and Yi-an never chose to be the only son of two powerhouse moguls. Amelie never wanted to be her father's pawn, and Yi-an was simply too good at hiding what he truly felt. They were just two broken people caught in the disaster of their family's greed, and two people who stood outside a tale they barely understood. It made sense to become each other's anchor-each other's comfort. Their decisions should've been easy, but some choices crack in all the wrong places, and some consequences fall on people who were never meant to be part of their problems to begin with. And so, Amelie and Yi-an were left to choose-between becoming the people their parents designed, or risking everything to become who they actually were. ___ STATUS: On-going Highest ranking: #4 Romance
