WARNING: MATURE CONTENT (R18) Desperate times call for desperate measures. Kaya pagkatapos ng siyam na taon, muling umuwi si Helga sa San Cristobal. She had a purpose. And that was to seek the help of her ex-husband, Mayor Keith Arzadon. Sa tingin ni Helga ay wala namang problema kung sakali. After all, the decision to end their marriage, almost a decade ago, was mutual. They parted as friends. Si Keith pa nga mismo ang naghatid sa kanya sa airport. Ganoon naman kasi talaga si Keith. Thoughtful. Caring. Her bestfriend. Kaya ganoon na lang ang gulat ni Helga nang tila ibang Keith na ang nakaharap niya. He was now treating her like she was a total stranger. Sinabi ni Helga ang problema niya. Napapayag naman niya si Keith na tulungan siya. Keith, though, made it clear from the get-go that he only wanted to fuck her. Nothing more. She agreed. She could not afford to be choosy. She was desperate.

After years of procrastinating, the gay widower Peter Valentine wants to write a new and experimental novel on Wattpad about the meaning of life, the search for love in the 21st century, and what it means to be human searching for the 'better normal' after the Covid pandemic of 2020. Now old, but not giving up on childlike delight for surprises, he meets people online, and falls in love in the grand manner of romantic movies. He breaks his heart a few times, but he never gives up, being wiser from all his years of passionate living. Along the way, he inspires a new generation of lovers, and readers, to be the best version of themselves.

👀 When an eighteen year old word of the priestess is not handled with caution, a great realm is plunged into darkness. For a kingdom without a seer is but a dry leaf floating on a rushing stream on a stormy night. It is as good as drowned. ~*********************~ "When blood betrays blood and the knowledge of the ones who see is held by the blackest of hearts, an eye of the realm shall be lost to the fire by which the soul from the living parts, the other, to the burning desire of man, fueled with the taste of one of the gods' own arts." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "The destiny of this kingdom lies on this meeting. It could raise it as high as the dwelling place of the gods or burn it to the grounds. Remember, words are not limited by time, especially those from the gods themselves." 👀
