When her longtime boyfriend proposes to her, Nari does not seem happy. She rejects him, hoping he would understand. But two years, seven days, three hours, five minutes, and thirty seconds later, Nari enters a church and watches him get married to someone else. *** At 21, Nari Miranda graduates from college wanting to complete her bucket list-being independent, visiting the US, traveling Europe, and adopting a dog-so when Benny, her longtime boyfriend proposes and surprises her with a house-their own house--she doesn't feel right. Until she follows the first thing she thinks of that moment: she rejects him. Nari hopes that everything will still be okay between them, but seeing Benny with another girl becomes too much for her. Feeling broken, she goes to a bar to drink her pain away and meets Preston, the man she always coincidentally crosses paths with, not knowing her life will take a whole new different turn.

Maria Georgianne Marfori loved Noah Elizalde more than anything in this world. Ganon din halos lahat ng mga babaeng kilala niya. Yes, he's probably that hot and adorable. Kaya naman ay maaga niyang natutunan ang pag mamahal ng walang pag aalinlangan at takot. Kailanman ay hindi niya naisip na darating ang araw na susuko siya at mapapagod. Never. Noah will end up with her no matter what. But is it really right to love him intensely at a very young age? Her family didn't believe in love. They think it's pure sentiment. They think purely loving someone with your heart was wrong. Binigyan tayo ng Panginoon ng puso at utak. Puso, para maramdaman ang sentimento. Utak, para mapag isipan kung dapat bang tanggapin ang sentimento ng puso. We have to identify who's the better judge. But then again, do we always have that chance to judge? Paano kung ipaglaban mo man iyon ay wala ka parin namang halaga? How are you going to fight for your heart when you know from the very beginning you will lose? That you are Worthless? Why do we all want this? To love what does not love us. To leave those who want to stay. To push away those who want to stay close. To treasure what is worthless.

"I have a proposition," kaswal na sabi ni Ashley. "What?" tanong ni Bobby. "Tutal iniwan ka na ni Kate at hindi na magiging akin kahit kailan si Jacob...Wala kang girlfriend, wala rin akong boyfriend--" Ashley smiled playfully. "Pwedeng tayo na lang?" "Is this some kind of a prank, Ashley?" "No." Bobby laughed quietly and shook his head, then smirked at Ashley. Why would he believe anyway? Ashley was a bigtime bully and became the HFU's heartless bitch when she tried to ruin the relationship of two of the most famous campus royalties in HFU. "You're single, I am single. You're crazy, I'm crazier. You're a jerk, I'm a bitch. We could make an exceptionally good team," pangungumbinsi ni Ashley. "Just for fun." Ashley did not know why she wanted to be in a make-believe relationship, with a make-believe boyfriend even if she knew Bobby will never be hers. Just for fun of it. "I promise I won't be clingy. I know you still love Kate and as soon as Kate comes back into your life, I'm out of the picture. Agad-agad. Pronto." "You're crazy," naiiling na wika ni Bobby. "I am. Let's have fun and make crazy things together." Ashley looked directly into Bobby's eyes. "Bobby, will you be my make-believe boyfriend?" Bobby sighed. "Okay, fine. I am now your make-believe boyfriend. Pero sa oras na makipagbalikan sa akin si Kate--" "I'm out of the picture." Some crazy act. Because Bobby was Jacob's bestfriend. And Jacob was her ultimate college love whom she knew will never be hers. Pero pumayag siya sa isang relasyong siya ang talo sa umpisa pa lang. Because she fell in love with Bobby along the way. And Kate came back to take back what was originally hers. Ashley knew she was doomed. Again. Dahil nagmahal na naman siya ng isang lalaking hindi na naman magiging kanya kahit kailan A BIG thank you to @yhang__yhang (yhangunnie) for my nice book cover. Please follow her ❤
