Blake Vitale was a mess. Alam niyang para siyang bomba na malapit nang sumabog. He can even hear the ticking of the clock in his head, the time bomb in his soul. Pero pilit siyang kumakapit, pilit siyang lumalaban para sa hustisya at para sa kakambal niya. Sa paglipas ng mga taon, normal na sa kaniya na wala siyang emosyon at wala siyang maramdaman. Day after day, he got broken and broken until there's nothing left of him. He plead for forgiveness. He plead for absolution and for remission of every sins he committed. But would his broken soul's plea be heard? Or would he lost his soul altogether? CECELIB | C.C. WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | P-18 COMPLETED Cover: Astrid Jaydee

Then she came along, the woman who had the same face as his beloved. He was a mess and broken, and he thought she was his salvation, that she was the answer to his affliction... But he was wrong... because instead of fixing him, she broke him even more. CECELIB | C.C. WARNING: MATURE CONTENT | R-18 COMPLETED Cover: Astrid Jaydee
