Sabi nila, kapag hindi mo na kaya ang sakit, kusang gumagawa ang utak mo ng paraan para protektahan ka. When my childhood trauma became too loud to bear, my mind split. Or at least, that's what the blackouts, the altered reflections, and my terrified friends led me to believe. I learned to coexist with the voices inside my head. I learned to run from the masked girl in the black dress who bleeds in my nightmares. I thought I was housing monsters just to survive. But what if the house is entirely empty? How long can you hide behind a crowd that doesn't exist? Now, the bodies are piling up, the illusion is shattering, and secrets are looking for a mirror. If my identities are just a script written in the dark... who is the one holding the pen? La Villareal Series #4

Two sides. One heart. No way out. Sometimes, keeping a promise means breaking a heart. Introducing, La Villareal Series #2

Laly has always been one thing in North's life: constant. From awkward elementary school performances to late-night college gigs, the two have been inseparable best friends bound by years of friendship, shared playlists, and a love for music that kept them in the same band for as long as anyone could remember. Romance was never part of the arrangement-or so Laly thought. As North jumped from one relationship to another, she somehow became both the reluctant cupid and emotional support system for his ex-girlfriends, collecting stories about his dating disasters like bonus tracks on an album she never asked to hear. But when North's parents start pressuring him to finally bring home a serious girlfriend, he turns to the one person he knows he can trust: Laly. Pretending to be his girlfriend should be easy-they already know each other too well, after all. A few rehearsed sweet moments, convincing family dinners, maybe some hand-holding. Nothing they can't handle. But how long can they keep pretending... before one of them finally admits that maybe this was never fake to begin with?
