COMPLETED on Wattpad ON GOING on HaloReads (Revised 2025 Version) --- "Falling for the Billionairess" as told from the POV of Meredith Balajadia. --- My name is Meredith Balajadia, EVP ng Balajadia Industries na pagmamay-ari ng pamilya namin. If asked to describe myself, I'd say I'm diligent, a hard worker, and a strict but reasonable boss. If you noticed, lahat ng sinabi ko ay tungkol sa trabaho. That's because my life revolves around my work. Saan ko pa siya papaikutin? Aside from my work and my family, I have very little else. Then in comes Ash Montesines with a cocky grin and the wrong coffee on his first day of work as a substitute for my ever-efficient assistant. Are you kidding me? Kilala ko siya in a way dahil nababalitaan ko ang mga kalokohan niya tulad ng pakikipag-away sa bars at pagpapapalit-palit niya ng mga model girlfriends. Hindi niya kakayanin ang trabaho na 'to. Pero habang tumatagal at mas lalo ko siyang nakikilala, nagbabago ang tingin ko sa kanya. Mabait naman pala, hindi naman talaga mayabang, and most of all, he was also really smart despite his online reputation. Not to mention na guwapo talaga siya at lagi niya akong napapatawa. Sige na, aaminin ko na. Maybe I was falling for Ash Montesines. Ang ikinakatakot ko lang ay baka hindi niya ako saluhin. --- Please excuse the loopholes first. I haven't read FFTB in its entirety when I started writing this book. Will edit that first before I edit and rewrite this as needed. Dedicated to everyone who requested for Mere's POV. Thank you po sa inyong lahat! Mature content. Reader discretion is advised.

Wild, young and free... Madalas kapag sa murang edad nagsisimula ang isang relasyon, hindi gaanong siniseryoso ang mga bagay-bagay; Rash decisions, immature mindset, juvenile beliefs...but one man excluded himself among those who believe in the theories of young love. He doesn't believe in the ideals. He believes with his heart. Magagawa pa rin kaya niyang ibukod ang sarili hanggang wakas? There are some hearts who would never take their first heartbreak too lightly. Ang iba ay ginagawa pa itong pundasyon sa pagkakaroon ng baluktot na paniniwala sa relasyon at pag-ibig. Some guaranteed detestation from their erstwhile love. Just like how he bled himself dry. Everything was used to be so perfect for Dean Cornelius Ortigoza. From an up and coming rock and roll career to supportive significant others...sa murang edad ay kulang na lang at lalagpasan na niya ang mga pangarap. Mga pangarap nila. One more step to get ahold of his dreams. All in just one single reach. Just one more...until a requisition of vow became a misstep that took a three hundred and sixty degree turn. Inside out. Hearts are breaking. Promises undone. A heart turned cold. The day he became ruthless.

Sa isang pagwawakas, hindi maaaring walang masasaktan. Isa man sa inyo, o kayong dalawa pareho. Sa bawat mga hakbang palayo, ay ang unti-unting pagkawasak ng mga puso. Sa pag-angat ng kamay upang punasan ang mga luha, may naglalandas na panibago. Isang pangakong ikaw lang ang naglikha. Paninindigan na magkahiwalay niyong ipinaglalaban. Pero sa hindi inaasahang pagbitaw ng isa para sa iba, alam mong may magbabago, at inaasahan niyo na ito. Pero hinahayaan niya lang. Dahil alam niyang babalikan mo siya. Babalik ka sa kanya. Babalik kayo para sa isa't isa.

[Last of LOYAL HEARTS ] Abuse. Neglection. Independence. Malaki ang epekto sa buhay ng isang tao kapag lumaki sa kapaligirang hindi inaambunan ng pagmamahal. Love composes almost the whole percentage of life in general. Love in any kinds. Along in growing up is a discernment that you're not capable of the platitude affection. Ngunit sa paggising mo isang araw kung saan napagtanto mo ang isang bagay na inaakala mong hindi mo mararamdaman kahit kailan, isang pag-unawa ang pilit kumakain sa isip. And it is thinking that you don't deserve it. You don't deserve reciprocated feelings. Because you also grew up with the thought that you don't deserve the beautiful things. Nang makilala ni Davina si Jaxon, she knew her heart's at stake. Slowly, she let herself be engulfed with his attention. Dapat sa kanya lang ang malasakit ni Jax. She should be at the receiving end of his care and residual affection but love. She wants to hold him prisoner. A committed relationship, emotional issues and life status; Ito ang mga pader na nagbubukod sa kanila. The ones keeping them on the other side of each other. The reasons that resolved to her forbearing. But also became the backwash of their destruction. Both friendship and love. The wall thickens. It stands even higher as the conflict of the past is haunting. This time, Davina is the willing one to break those walls and go across the other side. To his side. Once again. Iyon ay kung tatanggapin pa siya muli nito.
