Historias de Kaelara

Elara Wynne Alcantara has a voice sharp enough to break egos-and Kael Ravelo is her newest unwilling target. The journalism major hates distractions, and the architecture major hates loud people. So why do they keep bumping into each other? Why does the universe insist on putting them in the same places, at the worst possible times? UST was supposed to be a clean slate for both of them... until an article Elara writes and a project Kael submits collide in the most catastrophic-and unforgettable-way. What starts as irritation becomes curiosity. Curiosity becomes tension. And tension? It becomes the kind of love that burns quietly in between deadlines, sketchpads, and the golden hour at Lover's Lane.

Elara De Rossi is the "Golden Girl." The valedictorian of the nation's toughest engineering program, her perfect GPA is the pride of her formidable Fil-Chi family. But her success comes at a cost measured in sleepless nights, endless coffee, and a mounting, bone-deep exhaustion. Her life is a gilded cage, and the bars are about to slam shut . Her parents, titans of the Manila elite, have finally cashed in their investment: an engagement to Alexander Reyes, the cold, calculating heir whose wealth and power are meant to secure the De Rossi legacy forever. Desperate to escape the logical, loveless transaction, Elara finds her only sanctuary in a quiet, unassuming history major-a man who sees past the prestige and cares for her without ever being asked. He is her safe harbor, her solace, and the one person she is willing to risk everything for. Together, they execute a daring plan: Elara stages a spectacular public breakdown to shatter her perfect image and buy time to run away with the man she loves. But Elara's parents are master strategists, and their alliance with the Reyes family is merely a smokescreen. Elara prepares to choose her true love over her inheritance, she is hurtling toward a devastating truth: The man she is running to is the very man her family has secretly chosen for her. He is not the poor student he pretends to be. He is the secret, intended fiancé-the ultimate endgame of the De Rossi dynasty-and neither Elara nor her beloved knows the depth of the deception. Will Elara sacrifice her hard-won freedom for a love that was orchestrated before it even began, or will she reject the perfect inheritance for the solace she found on her own terms?
