[PUBLISHED under LIB] #2. "If liking you is a crime then why don't you convict me, attorney?"

𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸＃𝟭 || Formerly known as 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 || All her life, Chloe felt abandoned and forgotten by her parents. She lived with their house helpers while her parents would only come home once or twice a year. But when they arrived with not one but two children, and introduced them as her younger siblings, Chloe felt resentful toward her own family. The arrival of Jazer, the newly-hired babysitter of her siblings, made matters worse as their personalities clashed against each other. With the addition of new people in her already messy life, would Chloe find the peace and happiness she had been secretly yearning for?

Lumi-as someone who's being told what to believe and hope in everything as she grows up-reckons that living is a way to comply with and entrust one's entire life to serving superiors on top of the hierarchy. Who will not think of that way anyway? Being harbored in the lands of Castellanos, it is engraved in her mind that she lives to pay her debt of gratitude to the family who sheltered her, who protected her from all the cruelties the outside world has to offer behind those fences. What they're doing is to protect her life and welfare-that's what they told her. So there's no other way to live but be the gullible and obedient yokel of the Castellano clan, because they're doing everything just for her safety. But that's before her life turns upside-down as she discovers a strange note from the attic. "To whoever finds this message, they erased us. This is all that remains. Remember us, please." What does the note want to convey? Is it just one of those mundane trivial stuff found in an attic like the usual when someone decides to clean it? Or is it something connected to her... "safety?" For sure it is for her safety. That's what they always tell her. But what one hears is not always the version of reality. Most of the time, it is the most convenient scheme to twist and bend the truth. That... That's what they will never tell her. --- Start: July 01, 2020 End: December 02, 2020

Lyka thought she'd have a better school life in college, but it was way too different from what she had imagined. She already got into trouble during the first day and what's worse was she had to share a room with Dylan, a guy who she thought was made to make her life more miserable than it already was. With an ever annoying classmate-turned-roommate, a previous best friend who disappeared years ago, and a sweet yet deeply hurt girl, her once boring existence turned into a rollercoaster ride.
