'Pain isn't remotely kind in that way. Pain wants its promised pound of flesh, ounce for ounce. It won't settle until you're left with nothing but a flaky shell of who you were. The burn of betrayal and the sting of rejection hurt, but nothing compares to the pain of being empty. Nothing hurts worse than not hurting at all and it makes no sense and perfect sense at the same time and I'm convinced I'm going crazy and I'm actually okay with that.'

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

A night of mistake turned my life into a series of turmoil. A night when alcohol was mixed with suspicion, pain, and even...love. Mali man o tama. But hope was still breathing life in me knowing that everything is just temporary. Umaasa akong hindi magtatagal na dadating ang araw na isang memorya na lang ang mga naganap na hindi na kailangan balikan pa. But I was wrong. I was wrong that they will remain unchanging just because my heart is still the same as before. Dahil ginusto niya ang puso ko na pag-aari na ng iba habang ang sarili kong kabigkis, sarili kong dugo at laman, ay para bang nais angkinin ang puso ng taong akala ko akin lang.

It was so tiring to hope for the constant moon only to get a dying and burning satellite in the end. I wanted the typical heart fluttering love story pero hindi talaga ata para sa akin ang mga bagay na hinahangad ko. I was ready to close and lock away my heart. Until I heard his voice and the tune of his guitar...under the moonlight. I am Aiere Roqas and this is the beginning of my story.

All my life I've been waiting for one thing. A knight that will gallop his way to me and sweep me off my feet like a princess. But I never thought it would be him. I never thought that it would be the loud, full of life, lead guitarist of the band Royalty that will capture my attention. Pero parang nanadiya ang tadhana, ibinigay sa akin ang taong hinding-hindi magiging akin panghabangbuhay. Dahil hindi pa man nasisimulan ay nakaabang na ang wakas sa aming dalawa. The prelude to the love story I was waiting for turns out to be just the falling of the composition...the end of a musical piece.

Phoenix would rather stay rooted in Baguio and work his ass off rather than experienced the buzzing life in the center city. He would rather bury himself with work in his kingdom rather than to go out and have some dirty fun like his lunatic friends. He would rather feel the cold damp weather than to feel the heat in the center city. He hated traffic. He hates noisy street. He hates hot places. He fucking hates everything that has something to do with the big buzzing city. ... then everything changes... And those changes were not acceptable to him. Not in a lifetime. CECELIB | C.C.
