Sandejas Legacy #5: Solace Escape "Sandejas Legacy continues..." Sibyl Timothea Sandejas is a well-known ballerina, the center of attention, the star. Everyone wanted a glimpse of her life, not just because she's a great dancer but mostly because she's the daughter of the famous actress, Alyx Sandejas. She's in the spotlight. Fake smiles, false rumors, and the blinding flashes of cameras tired her. She's in the prime of her life, but one mistake and her world turned upside down. It cost her not only her career but also disappointment from her parents that they made her stay in Sta. Monica to learn her lessons. That's when she met again the hardworking and happy-go-lucky man, Solomon Alejo. A complete opposite of her. She expected to have the worst year ever, not knowing she'd find what she didn't even know she sought before. An escape from the eyes of the public. Solace. In his arms. Limelights are chaotic and blinding, no matter how pretty they are to look at. Every show ends, and as the curtain closes, will Sibyl fight for her stage back or will she embrace her peace?

Nakakabagot ang buhay. Lalo na pag papasok ka nang school, kakain, humiga sa pera, maligo sa puri, mamili ng babae, at matulog. Paulit-ulit lahat araw-araw. Lahat nalaro mo na, poker hanggang pag-ibig naipanalo mo na. Kung sana may pwedeng paglaruan. Yung unique. Yung nakakatuwa. Nang dumating siya sa buhay ko, natuwa ako kasi pinaglaruan ko siya. Humingi siya ng pabor. Binigay ko. Nagpaturo siya. Tinuruan ko. Humingi siya ng masasandalan. Binigay ko. Kasi nakakatuwa siya! Pero habang tumatagal, bakit siya na yung natutuwa at ako na pinaglalaruan? Hate. Lies. Temptations. Betrayal. Pain. Love. All in one. Training To Love.

If there was one thing Blaze Vitale perfected over the long years of suffering and pain, that was pretending to be okay and making "I'm fine," the most common lie in human history believable. He had to be fine. For his brother. He decided to be fine and made himself smile. It was hard, but he had to do it right-with a smile. 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

Phoenix would rather stay rooted in Baguio and work his ass off rather than experienced the buzzing life in the center city. He would rather bury himself with work in his kingdom rather than to go out and have some dirty fun like his lunatic friends. He would rather feel the cold damp weather than to feel the heat in the center city. He hated traffic. He hates noisy street. He hates hot places. He fucking hates everything that has something to do with the big buzzing city. ... then everything changes... And those changes were not acceptable to him. Not in a lifetime. CECELIB | C.C.
