This is not a love story. This is a story about LOVE.

Angela Raziel's Story.

#StanfieldBook2: ZekeSteele (#Wattys2016Winner Collector's Edition) "I've made mistakes out of my rebellion. But I embrace them because they made me who I am and what I am now. I found a brother, people I can trust, and a girl who meant the world to me... And I fell in love. I thought I don't deserve her love because I have always blamed myself for her brother's death. And she hated me for the past. We suppressed the feelings we had for each other, and buried them for so long. But it was a rebellious love. We couldn't fight it. We're weak against each other, and the only way to win was to lose."

#StanfieldBook1: Duke Steele "So which is it... are you leaving me because I'm a criminal? Or because you think I'm a liar?" Secrets. Lies. And deception. It all comes back six years ago, when Louraine Samantha Allegra thought her life was turned upside down and she was tossed into a black-hole of misery of life-the ugly past she never wanted to remember. But then, six years had passed and Louraine stood face to face with a man who will be her husband, the same man who froze her heart. Duke Arjun Steele-the man with undeniably good-looks, confidence and oozing sex-appeal. Dangerous and darker. Can his fiery eyes warm her heart and melt the icy barriers he himself erected?

[Book 2 of 3] Tears shed, sacrifices has been made, complications hindered. After the long story of chase and heart breaks, Derick and Erica managed to get their happy ending - nope, beginning. At inumpisahan nila ang relasyon that both changed them in some ways. Everything's normal. They're not quite different from any other couple their age. They kiss, they do things together and fight over small things. Love is not the problem dahil hindi sila nagkukulang sa pagbibigay nun sa isa't isa. Pero sa mga panibagong tao na darating sa buhay nila na may mga sariling papel, whether to destroy or strenghten them will they still be together? This time ba kakapit pa din sila sa isa't isa o balik na naman sila sa status nilang 'It's complicated'?

[Book 3 of 3] She thought it's the happily ever after. She thought everything she believed was true until life happened to her. After her mom's death, her miscarriage, ang paghihiwalay nila ni Derick dahil pinagpalit siya nito sa iba, Erica left para pumunta ng America to start a new life. Coping up was not easy but surely and eventually she "healed". She became stronger, masaya siya dun at nakahanap ng pamilya sa katauhan ng boss niya at anak nito. But this time nangailam na naman ang tadhana because who would've known that after six years Erica is destined to come back because of work. Sa mahabang panahon marami na ang nangyari at nagbago. But the question is, naka move on na nga ba talaga siya gaya ng pinapaniwalaan niya? O kasabay ng pagbabalik niya ay ang pagbabalik din ng dating siya especially sa pagtatagpo na naman nila ni Derick? Secrets. Lies. Pretense. It all ends here..

[Book 1 of 3] Erica could have said no when her parents asked her to transfer schools for her senior year. But she said nothing. She could have ignored Derick Lusterio and his holier-than-thou attitude. But she noticed him instead. She could have walked away when he shared a side of him that no one else knew about. But still, she stayed. Nag-iiba ang takbo ng tadhana sa bawat desisyong ginagawa. Para walang masaktan, itinatago ni Erica ang tunay na nararamdaman. But the lies can only bring a person far enough. The truth will always prevail when it comes to two hearts yearning for love.
