PUBLISHED UNDER LIB Note: If you're not into flawed characters who make wrong decisions, don't read this. Save yourself from stress. Started: 10/07/2020 Ended: 11/18/2020 Elora Chin Valencia grew up in a toxic Christian family where she was viewed as the black sheep. Araw-araw ay ipinaparamdam sa kanya ng mundo na wala siyang lugar sa sarili niyang tahanan. She was a consistent dean's lister and an obedient daughter, which left her wondering what she had done so wrong to be disregarded as a speck of dust in the wind. They made her feel like she was just dirt, filling up the empty space. The one who would never have her own safe place. Feeling all of this contributed to her endless suicidal ideations. Baka nga tama sila. Baka nga wala siyang halaga at kailanman ay hindi na sasaya. She almost believed that. She almost held onto that notion. Not until she met the man in his BS Civil Engineering uniform and gorgeous grin, Troy Jefferson Dela Paz. He kissed her forehead, and her loud thoughts were silenced. Her demons calmed down. Her foes were defeated. For the first time in her life, she had proven her family wrong---a happy Elora Chin was possible. She was loved and well-taken care of. Troy embraced her sharp parts, not minding the wounds he might get. But fate had a lot of cruel things in store for her. Because when she thought she had reached the peak of happiness, she found myself drowning alone in the ocean she now called home, alone in her shame, alone with the waves she couldn't tame.

Kahit pa naghihirap, basta kasama niya ang ina, kaya niya. Kahit pa madalas niyang hindi maintindihan ang lessons, ayos lang kasi may Duke naman na tuturuan siya. Na kahit gaano kalupit ang tadhana, patuloy siyang lumalaban sa buhay dahil may dalawang taong sumusuporta at nagmamahal sa kanya. She became too dependent on the love they could offer. But little did she know, like the sun she adored, she was destined to be alone.

*UNEDITED* *WATTPAD VERSION* Chloe had a big secret. Five years ago, she slept with a man accidentally! Ang masama pa, ang lalaking kinaiinisan niya ang nakakuha ng kainosentihan niya-si Ruan Gonzales na wala nang idinulot sa kanya kundi disgrasya. Hindi niya inakala na muling magkukrus ang mga landas nila. Ito ang boyfriend ng kapatid ng nobyo niya. Nakiusap siya rito na huwag na sana nitong ipaalam sa kanya-kanyang kasintahan nila ang nangyari noon. Pero ang buwisit na lalaki, walang ibang alam na ipang-asar sa kanya kundi ang sekretong iyon! Ang akala niya ay wala nang mas titindi pa sa malupit na sekretong kailangan nilang itago. Mayroon pa pala.

*RAW AND UNEDITED VERSION* Claudette was the campus queen bee. Siya na yata ang pinakamaldita sa buong SCU. But because she was beautiful and popular, she could always get away with anything. Akala ng mga tao, nakukuha niya ang lahat ng gustuhin. Pero ang totoo, ang pinakagusto niya ay hindi niya makuha-kuha. She had been pining for Jerry Genares since the first time she saw him, but he avoided her like the plague. Hindi makakapayag si Claudette na hindi mapasakanya si Jerry. Pero nang sa tingin niya ay malapit na niyang makuha si Jerry, may isang lalaking nanggulo sa mga plano niya-si Morris, ang pinsan ni Jerry na tutol sa pagsinta niya sa pinsan nito. Dinala siya ni Morris sa isang isla para ilayo kay Jerry. Tuturuan daw siya nito ng leksiyon para ma-realize niya ang mga pagkakamali. Pero bukod sa leksiyon na sinasabi ni Morris, may iba pang natutuhan si Claudette habang kasama niya ito: ang ibigin si Morris nang higit pa sa naramdaman niya para sa pinsan nito.
