Lumi-as someone who's being told what to believe and hope in everything as she grows up-reckons that living is a way to comply with and entrust one's entire life to serving superiors on top of the hierarchy. 

Who will not think of that way anyway? Being harbored in the lands of Castellanos, it is engraved in her mind that she lives to pay her debt of gratitude to the family who sheltered her, who protected her from all the cruelties the outside world has to offer behind those fences.

What they're doing is to protect her life and welfare-that's what they told her. So there's no other way to live but be the gullible and obedient yokel of the Castellano clan, because they're doing everything just for her safety. 

But that's before her life turns upside-down as she discovers a strange note from the attic.

"To whoever finds this message, they erased us. This is all that remains. Remember us, please."

What does the note want to convey? Is it just one of those mundane trivial stuff found in an attic like the usual when someone decides to clean it? Or is it something connected to her... "safety?" 

For sure it is for her safety. That's what they always tell her. But what one hears is not always the version of reality. Most of the time, it is the most convenient scheme to twist and bend the truth.

That... That's what they will never tell her.

WARNING: SPG | Mature Content | R-18 All she was expecting from him was a grant to support her education; little did she know that he would give her more. ✼━━━━━━━━━━━━✼ The 20-year-old student, Cassandra del Rosario, has no other objectives in life but two things: (1) to be liberated from the undesired degree program, and (2) to release her family from the curse of poverty. For Lorenzo Castillo, the 27-year-old new mayor of the town of Hope, or "Pueblo de Esperanza", nothing is important to him but two things: (1) to be disengaged from his father's will and (2) to execute the scheme that was developed by his resentful past. When their paths met, the two could not deny the curiosity and interest that they felt for each other. However, due to their status in life- Cassandra as a scholar and Lorenzo as a mayor- their sudden relationship became furtive. But one thing is undoubtedly true: no secret can be kept forever. Everything will be disclosed, and everyone will be opposed to their stealthy affair. For Cassandra, Lorenzo was the man who captured her heart; for Lorenzo, Cassandra was nothing more than a knick-knack for the little game he wanted to perform. Cassandra's heart shattered to pieces upon learning all the secrets that were kept from her. Lorenzo will feel that he should be over the moon as he finally accomplished his long-awaited plan, but why did everything he did seem to backfire on him? Separated paths. Shattered trusts.

Just Ten Dates by deepredpreciousstone
10 parts Ongoing Mature
She didn't know she only had just ten dates to fall in love. He didn't expect he'd need just ten dates to break his own heart. Because when the truth finally came out, love was the cruelest part of the plan. Alexandra Calynn Acosta had long given up on the idea of love that lasted. Always carrying the weight of responsibility, she chose to put her family first, even if it meant sacrificing her own dreams. Bound by a commitment she never asked for and engaged to a man she never chose, love was a luxury she couldn't afford-until Caelan made her question everything she thought she knew about herself. Caelan Amell Gervacio, on the other hand, had always believed in love-the real kind, the kind that endures. To him, relationships were about loyalty, trust, and building something that would last. But when he met Calynn, he wasn't prepared for the way she would turn his world upside down. What started as a simple attraction soon became something deeper, especially once he uncovered the hidden truths that tied their lives together in ways neither of them could have ever expected. But what happens when their worlds collide? Can love break down the walls they've built, or will it be the thing that destroys them both? This story has been on my drive since July 18, 2020. I wrote this during the pandemic as a product of my imagination, and I wanted to practice my writing. So, I plotted this story in my mind. I want to write stories about different types of love-for family, friends, and a special someone-through these stories.
