NOT A COINCIDENCE Belle Isandrina Lacasandile was in a race against time, desperately trying to get back to her university for a dreaded Inorganic Chemistry exam. After running an errand for a friend from another school, she found herself stranded, with no hope of finding a cab. Panic set in as she feared being late and having to take an even more difficult make-up test. Just as her anxiety peaked, the famous UP Maroon basketball star, Juan Gomez de Liaño, appeared and offered her a ride, saving the day. What started as a simple favor soon grew into an unexpected connection-ice cream dates, spontaneous afternoon hangouts, and an undeniable spark that everyone around them noticed. Their chemistry felt like something out of a movie. But Belle believed their meeting was merely a blessing in disguise, a chance occurrence without deeper meaning. As someone who spent countless hours in biochemistry labs, proving theories with hard evidence, she didn't believe in love born from a random encounter. Was it really just a coincidence? Or could it be something more-science, fate, and destiny intertwined?

C O M P L E T E D Chances are not for having a happy ending, but for having a rightful ending.

S O O N If Mike Samuel Cuevas is given a chance to correlate his life with three words, it would be "bruises", "rejection", and "failure". Bruises for all the marks he had whenever his father hurt him physically for being such a disgrace to the family. Rejection for all the times he was left by all the women he genuinely loved. Failure for being the lowest in class, for being academically weak, for having no skills to showcase, and for leaving his responsibilities while studying in Med School. As he left the city, he met the life he was yearning for in the province of Siargao: a solemn life where he is well-appreciated and where his mind is in peace. In this place, he found a father figure in the persona of Dr. Barcelon, a doctor to the barrio in one of the municipality of Siargao. Most of all, he found a great love in the persona of Glamour Montanilla, a hardworking nurse of the said municipality. Will he finally stand for himself and bring out his courage that was chained behind the bars and claimed that the doctor is out? Or will he just let those chains tie him up again into the abyss and claimed that the doctor is in?
