Princess Sumaguban is twenty one, a nursing student, and the only girl in a family of law enforcement. Her father is a chief in the U.S. military, strict but deeply loving, and her uncles in the Philippines wear badges of their own. The kind of family that makes boys nervous before they even say hello. She has effectively had no boyfriend since birth. Not because she couldn't. But because she never wanted what boys her age offered. Too loud. Too careless. Too frat boy, all bravado and no backbone. She was named Princess for a reason. The only girl, fiercely protected, raised with discipline, expectations, and a future she took seriously. School came first. It always did. Her life is busy and full, split between nursing school and hospital rotations, running on caffeine, adrenaline, and stubborn optimism. One ordinary day, she sees him. Tall. Russian. Brown curls that refuse to behave. Glasses. Incredibly handsome. He doesn't smile. She can tell. Lips so luscious it throws her off balance, but she already knows a man like him belongs in a lab or an operating room, not standing this close to her, not close enough that she suddenly forgets how to breathe. She offers him a bite of her favorite snack. She knows she shouldn't have. But in that moment, she knows he takes more than a bite. He takes something that sinks into her chest, threading itself through a place that was never meant for anyone else.

🫐Spectrum of Becoming #6 . . ☁︎ . ☁︎ . . NOTE: This is not a bl story. Isang sulyap. Isang katahimikan. Isang pakiramdam na hindi maipaliwanag. Sa mundong pumapabor sa ingay, nakahanap ng kanlungan si Liora Illia Guevara sa sarili niyang katahimikan. Nasanay siya rito, hindi dahil wala siyang gustong sabihin, kundi dahil mas ligtas doon. Malinaw sa kaniya ang mundong tahimik. Samantala, si Ezechielle Ynigo Villegas ay kabaligtaran niya. Kilala, hinahangaan, at matunog ang pangalan. Sanay siya sa atensyon at sa mga matang laging nakamasid. Ngunit sa gitna ng ingay, isang babaeng hindi humihingi ng atensyon ang napansin niya. Isang katahimikang hindi niya maalis sa isip. Sa pagitan ng mga salitang hindi nasabi, mga tinging iniiwasan, at mga damdaming pilit ikinukubli, unti-unting nagiging mas malinaw ang katahimikan sa pagitan nila. May mga salitang hindi kailangang isigaw. May mga damdaming mas totoo kapag hindi binibigkas. At sa loob ng katahimikan, nagsisimula ang paglalakbay patungo sa pagtuklas ng mga boses na may kulay tayum.

Until the notorious Thaddeus Gael Resuello, fratboy, born genius, the one worshiped by every girl in law school. She heard all these humors of these girls about him.

She swore this time things would be different... she would never lose herself in a man again, never let anyone treat her like she was nothing. But somehow, somewhere between late-night study sessions and his cigarette smoke, she finds herself wrapped around Thaddeus' fingers... and this heartbreak might destroy her twice
