She thought that threatening the mayor would easily get her money, but she was wrong. Instead, the mayor created an agreement where both of them would benefit. But an agreement is just an agreement, isn't it? So why does everything between them slowly start to become something more than that?

"Damdaming nagkasalisi, pwede bang mabalik aking sasalubungin?" Eahna Zandria has always known her place - beside him, but never quite with him. Not the loud kind. Not the kind that demands to be chosen. Just the gentle, quiet kind. The one who cheers the loudest when he wins and stays the longest when things get heavy. The one who listens to his rants at 2 a.m., laughs at his jokes, and somehow understands him more than anyone else. Maybe best friends are supposed to feel this close. Maybe it's normal to imagine the "what ifs" and still pretend you don't. She doesn't want much. Just to sit beside him on quiet days. Just to be the one cheering him on, always. She likes him enough to let the feeling remain unsaid. 
She might get over the boy. But a part of her still hopes. A quiet part that whispers maybe - just maybe - someday, they could become something more. She might never stop wishing. And she will never be Not Over October.

(Till The Redline Series #1) Lucien Reid Helios Montenegro from District 13 is a famous racer in the Philippines. Many racers from different districts are afraid to compete against him, as he is known for being dominant on the road. No one has ever defeated him-until Damien arrived. Damien was raised in Spain. He came to the Philippines to be with his mother. Since Damien also has a passion for racing, his friends encouraged him to join their district and compete in drifting competitions. That decision led him to meet Red. Both are highly competitive when it comes to racing, and their names are already well-known in the racing competition in the Philippines. From the moment they met on the track, tension filled the air-two different styles, two different worlds, but the same hunger for speed. Red was precise and fearless, while Damien was unpredictable and bold. They became rivals on the road, pushing each other beyond limits every time they raced. Every drift, every near crash, every finish line they crossed side by side only made their rivalry burn hotter. The people started calling them "Redline Rivalry" because neither of them ever backed down. But somewhere between competition and obsession, something unfamiliar started to grow. A hesitation in the last turn. A glance that lasted too long. A feeling neither of them could name but both refused to ignore. Are Red and Damien destined to destroy each other on the track or will their rivalry become something neither speed nor pride can outrun? Because in racing, there's always a winner and a loser but no one ever said anything about falling in love with your greatest opponent and somewhere beyond the limits of speed and pride... when they finally reach the Redline, will they cross it together... or is it just the point where one of them is left watching the other disappear into the smoke for good?
