He was the man with the stoic face and no non-sense boardroom tactics...but he couldn't keep the one person he wanted closest to him.
Jonathan Meyers is young, smart, successful and ...broken. He has learned that his fiancé had not only been cheating on him but her beau was his younger brother Jackson. He is stricken with pain and the regret of meeting Ashley Vanderbilt.
Jonathan calls upon his best friend; Damian Wells in his time of comfort and healing. Damian has always been in Jonathan's corner since they were teenagers and supports him in any decision he makes. But how will Damian help the closed off Jonathan and help him move forward to a better place? It doesn't help that Damian had been keeping his own secrets from Jonathan.
Each man will learn what it means to stand up and fight for what he wants, but at what cost? Will they lose each other while trying to gain freedom from their socialite world?

My Imaginary Ex (COMPLETE)
I've brought this back to Wattpad as a free and complete story because schools have assigned it as part of 21st Century Philippine Literature but HAVE NOT taken steps to give students a full copy. How will you write about a book you haven't read? How can teachers grade you if they don't have a copy of the book? Anyway, the book is here. I'll add a discussion about the book to this story, at the end. Hope you pass your subject and discover books you want to read and discuss! Critique is welcome! [November 2024] I've updated the cover! This new lovely cover for the Philippine print edition is by artsbyannz. === About the book: Zack and Jasmine never dated, but no one else knows that. That story started in college, because she was being a good friend, and he needed help with something. The friendship and affection that followed were very real, but the lie kept causing trouble. Years later, after a falling out and real relationships with other people, the lie resurfaces to bother Jasmine one more time--when Zack's exes ask her to stop him from marrying someone they think is totally wrong for him. She's the only one who can help him, they say, because she's his best friend. They also believe that Zack loved Jasmine the most--and maybe still does.Complete

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.
