Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022

PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Lahat daw ng tao ay ipinanganak para sa isang misyon. Bago pa man tayo isilang ay may naghihintay ng hinaharap sa atin. Some people says it depends on us, that our purpose lies on our hands, chiseled by our own decisions. It was a lie for Angeleigh Jariyah Alvarez, an only child, living her remaining years to the fullest. Like her, not all people are eligible to create their own meaning, when fate chose her ending since birth. Tiyanak, bruha, mapanlait, makasarili at anghel na sugo ng lupa. Ganoon siya ilarawan ng mga tao sa paligid. She didn't care. It is not her responsibility to please everyone around her because it wouldn't change a single thing. The world would not treat you any better if you're kind. She has no heart for the unfortunate and no one call her out, until Zachary Ismael Javier, a poor orphan striving to live for his dreams comes her way. Magkaiba ang buhay na kinasanayan, ang mundong pinagmulan at ang pananaw sa buhay. She's childish and arrogant, he's responsible and kind. When two different worlds met, what will happen? Will he succeed to tame the demon inside of her? or will she continue living in the meaning, she created herself? Two Years in their senior high, two people, two different perception and two different worlds. What could be lying beneath it? Finished: August 2021

Status: Completed Rain, a sucker for romance stories was content to read someone else's love stories. Truth is, she wasn't planning on falling for anyone other than her favorite fictional characters. But when she met Ace Alvarez, she just found herself yearning for something real... something that books couldn't offer. And that's his eye-roll on her, his arms around her waist, his nose brushing on hers, and his face nuzzling on her neck. She badly wants his last name. She wants everything that makes him. By that, she knows that she's falling hard... but she's mindless of the consequences the moment she gave in to him.

Seraphine Van Zeler thrives in her double life -- by night, a masked burlesque dancer captivating the high society's elite; by day, a calculating serial killer, cleaning up the deaths of the powerful men who once assaulted her sister -- the very same sister who abandoned her. Every performance, every death cleaned, brings her one step closer to finding her. Then, one night, an unmasked gentleman places a 5 million bid for a night with her. He loses -- but for reasons Seraphine can't explain, she wishes he'd won. His piercing gaze lingers in her mind, his knowing stare unsettling her in ways she doesn't understand. By morning, she's in handcuffs, accused of the murders she's spent years cleaning and covering-up in secret. And when she faces her interrogator, she's met with the same unforgettable eyes -- Lucifer Abalkin. Seraphine denies the killing. But instead of pressing for a confession, Lucifer makes her an offer: become a Grim Reaper for the Hades Organization, work by his side, and he'll set her free. There's just one catch -- he doesn't just want her as a partner. 𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚. Seraphine leans in, smiling against Lucifer's lips. "𝙇𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙧, 𝙡𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡," she says. "𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣? 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚. 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩. 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚. 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨.
