WAR SERIES # 1 "Please, take me back... Love me like you used to... when you were completely obsessed with me and all you wanted was me." --- Trojan Adrien Sullivan never imagined he'd fall for a man. He spent his whole life convinced that only women could ever capture his heart. But somehow, he finds himself unable to escape the gravity of Saimon's presence - the very person he once considered his sworn enemy. Saimon never tried to tame him, never forced him to be anything other than the storm he was. He simply stood there - steady, unflinching - as Adrien raged, thundered, and poured. He got drenched in Adrien's rain, bearing every outburst and silence alike, waiting for the moment the storm would tire itself out and find peace in his arms. But love like theirs was a collision - fleeting yet fierce, beautiful yet doomed. It was the kind that could build a world in one heartbeat, only to shatter it in the next. And maybe that's what makes it tragic - that even before it could begin, they were already losing pieces of themselves, trying to hold on to something destined to break.

Carefree, loud, parties - that's what life is for Ailee Tan. He lived for late nights and endless noise. Thrown into his mother's hometown, Bicol, his rowdy life screeches. The sole reason? Teaching him a lesson. Typical. As he thought it couldn't get any worse, he literally crashes into Julio Rigel- their barrios' hard-working, and annoyingly principled farm boy. Ailee's exact words? His total opposite. Their first meeting? Chaotic. Getting along? You're kidding. There's no denying that they don't get along. Working in the sun and sweating is one thing. But working with Julio Rigel? Kill him. They say hate is a strong word- but for Ailee and Julio? It came a little too easily. Ailee hated stillness. In a place that moved slower, he became used to the pace. Maybe, it's the province. Maybe...it's someone. "You know, my dad taught me one word from Bicol. Sabi niya, I should say this to the people who mean the most to me. Padaba Taka, Rigel."
