Between the pressures she's feeling and the unexpected closeness she develops again with Finn Orion Santellano - the boy from her past she swore to avoid - Iska's carefully built walls begin to break down. And in the most unlikely place - the UP's main library, she finds an escape through a series of anonymous letters. In those quiet, secret exchanges, she rediscovers hope, she embraced it. It became her escape, her quiet pause from the exhausting reality she lived in. started: september 01, 2025 ended: book cover by: sheensofroses (leisheen)

[COMPLETED] Maria Isabel Venitez grew up surrounded by three boys she always considered family. Among them were the Catalan brothers-her constants, her safe place. Everything was going perfectly... until one unexpected announcement turned her world upside down. One afternoon, her mother and Lucinda Catalan-her mom's best friend-dropped a bombshell: Isabel has to marry one of Lucinda's sons. And she has to choose. 1. Ismael Laurent Christopher Catalan - her best friend, her partner in everything, the one who knows her best. 2. Illias Lior Clive Catalan - whose presence felt like home-always there, always honest, never afraid to say what he truly felt. Nalito siya. Wala siyang kaalam-alam. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit biglaan. Not until she overheard a conversation between her mom and Lucinda-whispers of secrets, they try to hide from her-ang dahilan kaya nila pinilit ang biglaang kasalan. And in a moment of heartbreak, Isabel says yes to the marriage, even if it means choosing the brother she never thought she'd end up with-even if it means letting go of the one she's loved all her life.
