Kung ang lahat ng tao sa paligid mo masaya, parang automatic na nagiging masaya ka na. Kung lahat naman sila malungkot, mararamdaman mo yung lungkot na nararamdaman nila. E paano kung lahat sila in love? Maiinlove ka rin ba? SYEMPRE HINDI. Kasi aminin mo man o hindi, inggit ang mararamdaman mo. (Ashley Scott Story: Completed)

Girl: "Gusto kita..." Boy: *grin* "Alam ko" Girl: "Paano mo nalaman?" Boy: *pat her head* "Alam ko na bago mo pa narealized"

Lawrence dela Vega, the man who I fell in love with. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could love someone as much as I loved him. I thought what we had was something unbreakable. But I thought wrong. Three years ago he made me feel that being in love with him was like lying in a bed of roses. But I wasn't aware that the bed itself was full of thorns. Full of deceit. Full of pretence. That the man himself was a great pretender. My plan was to revenge against this heartbreaker Hotelier for making my life miserable. But how? When after all these years, my heart still belongs to him...aches for him...owned by him....

"Forgetting a debt doesn't mean it's paid." But I didn't forget him. I knew I owed him a huge amount of money. He paid me even though he wasn't able to own me. Yes, I offered my virgin body to a stranger because I was that desperate. I was sixteen then and helpless. But that night, I knew from the depths of my heart, I won't be able to forget him. Six years later, I found myself in his territory. His eyes twinkled with recognition. That sexy grin I've always remembered about him. The way he ran his tongue along his lower lip as he roamed his gaze around my body, I know, it's payback time.....

Pinagmasdan ko ang dalawang taong gulang na sanggol na payapang natutulog sa aking bisig. Hanggang ngayon ay nanggagalaiti pa rin ako sa galit sa ama ng bata. Hindi ko siya mapapatawad! Pababagsakin ko ang taong sumira sa buhay namin! Kaya isang gabi sa kanyang Restobar ay isinangkatuparan ko ang aking plano. Nag-eskandalo ako at pinahiya siya sa lahat ng taong naroon! Ngunit nagising na lang ako isang araw na ako na pala ang bumagsak sa kanyang mga kamay! His charms are toxic! At ayaw ko mang mangyari ay nahulog na ang aking loob sa kanya at ang poot ay napalitan ng pag-ibig sa aking puso. Pero paano ito, gayung nilinaw niyang ang bata lamang ang kanyang nais at hindi ako!

Gabriel is the love of my life. He is the kind of man any other women would dream of having. He is my knight in shining armor. He is my Prince Charming. At least, I thought he was. Dahil nagbago ang pananaw ko the moment I saw his big brother, Jack. Na sa umpisa pa lang ay galit at ayaw na sa akin. Pero hindi ko maipaliwanag kung bakit naghuhurumintado ang buong sistema ko sa tuwing lumalapit siya sa akin, sa tuwing dumadampi ang balat niya sa akin. At kahit boses niya ay nagbibigay sa akin ng kiliti at kilabot. And when he kissed me, realization flooded me in complete astonishment. And that's the only time in my life that I wish I was single. But I can't afford to break Gab's heart......

(Will be published under BOOKWARE PUBLISHING CORPORATION - PINK AND PURPLE imprint) Lucas Jaime Agoncillo, currently the President of Student Council was known for his good-super good looks and for his brains, being a consistent Dean's Lister since he entered the university. Tall, moreno and handsome. He was a no-nonsense guy and always carried an air of authority with him. Super rich, being the scion of a prominent steel manufacturer in the country. Stasha Marie Villaruel, beautiful and bratty. Campus queenfor three consecutive years. Everybody in the campus called her Her Highness. Both are campus royalties. But they avoided each other's paths for underlying reasons unknown to both of them. Pareho nilang ini-snob ang isa't-isa sa campus. On the day of their foundation day, nagawa silang gawin partners sa isang marriage booth. "Groom, meet your bride, Her Highness Stasha Marie Villaruel. Bride, meet your groom, Mister President, Lucas Jaimes Agoncillo," sabi ng schoolmate nilang may pakana ng marriage booth na ginanap sa Art Room. Their eyes locked. Lucas held Stasha's gaze and then smiled-a gorgeous one at that. His eyes were glinting with amusement. Nagbaba ng tingin si Stasha. Hindi niya kayang matagalan ang tingin ni Lucas. At pagkatapos ay napadako ang tingin ni Lucas sa nakabukas na pinto ng Art Room. Lahat ng mga nagdadaang estudyante ay napapatingin sa loob. "Close the door, please," marahang utos ni Lucas sa isang naroroon na malapit sa pinto. "I don't want uninvited guests to my wedding." Napaangat si Stasha ng mukha at napatingin kay Lucas. And then Lucas smiled at Stasha as if teasing her. Isang ngiting lalong nagpapaguwapo kay Lucas. Isang ngiting madalang nitong maibigay kay Stasha.

"I have to warn you, Jorjina. Do not let yourself fall in love with me," seryosong sabi ni Tres habang diretsong nakatingin sa mga mata ni Jorjina. "I might break your heart. And I don't want that to happen." That was point-blank. Napalunok si Jorjina. Hindi niya alam kung bakit tila may kurot sa puso ang sinabi ng binata. She dismissed that thought in her mind. Tinaasan ni Jorjina ng isang kilay si Tres. "Ang feelingero mo naman, Tres Esquivel," mataray na sabi ng dalaga. "Hindi ako mai-in love sa 'yo dahil isa kang walking heartbreak. Isa kang malaking karengkeng at nagsusumigaw na heartbreak!" Pinakadiin-diin pa ni Jorjina ang mga huling salitang sinabi. "At hindi ako masokista para saktan ang sarili ko at kumuha ng batong ipupukpok sa ulo ko. Kaya 'yang warning mo na mai-in love ako sa 'yo ay malabong mangyari. Hindi. Mangyayari. 'Yan," mataray at confident niyang sabi habang kumukumpas-kumpas pa ang kamay niya. Ilang segundong nakatingin lang sa kanya si Tres. Him scanning and studying her face as if searching for the truth with what she said. "Good," Tres then finally said, not even smiling as if he felt disappointed with her answer. "At least we're crystal clear on that." Crytal clear on that. Klarung-klaro kay Jorjina. But why on earth did Jorjina Pascua aka Jorj, non-academic scholar -read : average girl-a plain jane and campus Artists' Club member eat her words and fell in love with Alfonso Esquivel III aka Tres Esquivel, breathtakingly handsome, ultra rich and campus' ultimate playboy? At ang masaklap pa, naibigay pa niya ang sarili niya sa binata. A BIG thank you to @yhang__yhang (yhangunnie) for my nice book cover. Please follow her ❤

"Miranda dela Cruz," sabi ni Ryan, team captain nina Jacob. "No one comes close to Miranda without having to deal first with Lucas. 'Di ba balita sa buong campus na crush ni Lucas si Miranda? I bet even Alfred here can't get past Lucas. Miranda is under the umbrella of protection of Lucas." Alfred was a football player in HFU at kilalang playboy. "Want to bet on that?" mayabang na sabi ni Alfred. "Kayang-kaya kong maging girlfriend si Miranda in three months." They knew a bet was on. "Tig-one hundred thousand kami--" "Drop it, you two!" authoritative na sabi ni Jacob kay Ryan. "'Wag n'yong pagpustahan si Miranda. That's cruel!" "Kung ayaw mong sumali, 'wag ka na lang makialam, Jacob." Si Ryan. "Why, Jacob? Natatakot ka ba kay Lucas?" SI Alfred ulit. "I'm not afraid of him." "Then prove it." "I have nothing to prove." "Make Miranda your girl in three months, Jacob. Kung hindi mo magawa 'yan, babayaran mo kami--" "No. Money is out of the question." Tumingin isi Ryan kay Jacob. "Hindi ko alam kung ano ang rason sa pagtutol mo." "Because that is fucking wrong!" mariing sabi ni Jacob. "Hindi kaya dahil takot ka kay Lucas, Jacob?" Tiningnan niya ng masama si Alfred. "Kung gano'n ikaw na ang gumawa, Jacob. Make Miranda your girl in three months. At kapag hindi mo nakayang gawin, si Alfred ang gagawa." Jacob smirked. "Hindi ako katulad n'yo." "I'd be more than willing. She's pretty," sabi ni Alfred. Nagsukatan sila ng tingin ni Alfred. Alam niyang hindi nagbibiro si Alfred. He had to protect Miranda. Ilayo ito kay Alfred kahit na nariyan pa si Lucas sa tabi ni Miranda. Because he cared for her. A lot. "I'm on it," seryosong sabi ni Jacob. Hindi siya sang-ayon sa pustahan. Gusto lang niyang ilayo si Miranda kay Alfred. But would the end justify the mean? What if Miranda thought otherwise? A BIG thank you to @yhang__yhang (yhangunnie) for my nice book cover.
