(This novel is in PURE ENGLISH.) - - - The door opens at exactly eight o'clock in the morning. I wasn't able to sleep properly last night though. My mind was wandering... thinking of what I am about to witness again today and the following days and so on. It's not like I hate my job. I do love the four corners of this happy place, I must say. The team is doing great with customer service. The names of our menu make us unique and notable. One of our bestsellers is our cookies and cream smoothie that's named "If You Want Me Come And Get Me". Silly, right? Guests also keep on posting positive feedbacks on our freedom board that is refreshed weekly. Oh, that reminds me of the post-it stickers. Did Angela forget to buy again? We are running out of supply! Someone should tell her what to do. Why is she becoming unfocused lately? What's wrong with the boss? The "ding!" sound echoes through the room as the door opens. I always love when it chimes like that. It sounds music to my ears. It also means that we are officially starting another day of business. Different groups of men and women come rushing in and my eyes are glued at everyone. I take a deep sigh as I start observing their behaviours. I can see sadness. I can sense brokenness. I can hear wailing hearts. Some celebrate in happiness. In victory. In genuine love. I shake my head. Today is another day of hearing and witnessing set of heartbreaking and gratifying stories. And, oh, before I forget. Who am I? My name is Sweet. I'm not really sure if my last name would be Escape but anyway, call me Sweet Escape. I am a café.

Bigo sa kanyang unang pag-ibig si Therese kaya naman mas pinagtuunan na lamang niya ng pansin ang pagtulong sa kanyang kapatid para maging isang ganap na singer. Sa kanilang pakikipagsapalaran para matupad ang pangarap niya para kay Zia, doon naman nila makikilala si Sebastian na may-ari ng isang record label. Sa pagdating ni Sebastian sa buhay nilang magkapatid, uusbong ba ulit ang panibagong pag-ibig para kay Therese o tuluyan nang mawawala ang pag-asa niyang may tatanggap pa sa kanya at sa kuwento ng kanyang nakaraang hindi niya kailanman maitatago? - - - - - - - - - - Why TLA #3? Dahil pangatlo kong novel ito under the TRUE LOVE ALWAYS Series but you can read it independently without reading first WILLA AND DM (TLA #1) and BLAKE AND LILY (TLA #2). Sana kapag nagka-time kayo, please also read #1 and #2 which are also stand-alone stories just like this one. Happy reading! :)

What would you do if an incredibly tall, handsome, hot and powerful stranger comes to you, starts flirting and announces to the world that you are his girlfriend for the very first time you two have ever met? Would you go for it? Magpapadala ka ba sa good looks? Sa amoy ng pabango? Sa mala-prinsipeng ngiti? At sa perfect white teeth? She's not really that easy-to-get and impulsive kind of girl kasi isa siyang probinsiyanang pinalaki ng conservative niyang tatay but things are about to change with a man who claims that she belongs to him ora mismo. Her name is Willa Madariaga and this is her story as the "ambushed girlfriend" of Dominic Marcus Fontanilla. Join her and her instant "dictator boyfriend" as they face the ghosts of their past; as they search for forgiveness and genuine happiness; as they solve problems and settle issues; and as they bridge their differences in the name of love. But would that be enough to consider themselves the right persons for each other in the end? O magiging isang magandang chapter lang sila sa buhay ng isa't isa that's worth reading but not worth fighting for? - - - - - 1) Willa and DM (TLA #1) - COMPLETED 2) Blake and Lily (TLA #2) - COMPLETED 3) Sean and Therese (TLA #3) - ON-GOING - - - - - Happy reading! Highest rank achieved: #324 in ROMANCE. ♡

Handa mo bang isugal ang lahat-lahat para sa pag-ibig? Paano ibibigay ni Lily ang buong puso niya sa lalaking minamahal kung siya mismo ay may agam-agam sa sarili? Handa ba siyang suungin ang lahat ng laban para makamtan ang lubos na kaligayahan? Paano tatanggapin ng isang easy-going at playful na katulad ni Blake ang rejection ng kaisa-isang babaeng kanyang minahal? Isusuko ba niya ang laban dahil sa pagkabigo? Paano niya mapapatunayang karapat-dapat siyang mabigyan ng pagkakataon? - - - - - - - - - - Author's Note: Here are Blake and Lily from the story, True Love Always (TLA #1), that featured mostly Willa and DM. You can either read this first or the original one, whichever you prefer. This is a spin-off. Both stories are stand-alone. Plus if you have time, check out TLA #3, too! WARNING!!! You may want to purchase your very own Blake from Lazada (charotz) as the story goes on so good luck. :)

Moira Pilar is an unhappy girl living in her struggling world. Para sa kanya, tatlong lugar lang ang iniikutan ng kanyang mundo: 1) Ang maliit na apartment na kanyang tinutuluyan for one year after niyang maglayas sa bahay ng tiyahing pinagbilinan sa kanya ng mga magulang bago tuluyang maghiwalay para bumuo ng sari-sarili nilang mga pamilya; 2) Ang canteen kung saan siya nagtatrabaho bilang isang cashier hindi kalayuan sa apartment niya; at 3) Ang St. Joseph Chapel kung saan siya nagdarasal at nagsisimba kapag nakaluwag-luwag siya ng oras mula sa trabaho. Isang ordinaryong dalaga na hindi na umaasa pang magiging mas makabuluhan ang buhay in the days and months and years to come. Tanggap na niya sa sarili niyang hindi na siya kailanman aahon pa sa hirap na pinagdaraanan niya. But what if one day, Exel Ramirez happens to her life? Will Exel be the reason for her to despise her life even more? Or will he be the key in bringing out the best of her from all the worst she had?

Whatever comes to her mind that is worth writing, she scribbles down the words. She keeps notes. Mostly to herself. - - - - - - - This is also a poem and prose collection. - - - - - - - Letters to future love interest also exist here. - - - - - - - Anything ramdom, anything under the sun.
