Galactic Fate Series #1: Contended Checkmate
Niore Klein Meteor "Kleo" Moquierovasco is the youngest grandson of the most successful businessman in the country, Shane Gylbert Moquierovasco. Raised in privilege and the pressure of expectations, Kleo has always walked the straight path--occupied by academics and the family business.
Magnolia Giselle "Maggie" Crisostomo, on the other hand, had to fight every inch of her way in life. Orphaned young and forced to rebuild her life from scratch, she dreams of becoming an architect, fueled by the memory of her mother she lost too soon.
Though their worlds couldn't be more different, both Kleo and Maggie share the same silent promise: to make their mothers proud. They prioritize their futures so much that none of them ever thought of catching feelings for anyone. However, fate had other plans.
It was their 16th birthdays when they unknowingly exchanged gifts--two strangers tied by a fleeting moment. Two years later, fate brings them face-to-face at university, enrolled in the same course and block, where ambition meets unexpected connection.

I Didn't Expect (Fall Duology #1)
FALL DUOLOGY #1 Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta College was supposed to be another peaceful chapter for Reivelloise Rivas Lacuesta. Yung tipong gaya ng elementary, junior high, at senior high niya: puro aral, bonding with friends, gala, at memories na iiyakan sa graduation. Simple and predictable. Pero biglang may papasok na bagong category sa buhay niya: love. After years of thinking "bata pa ako para magkacrush," Reiv finds herself falling hard for someone. Ang problema? Yung taong gusto niya, may ibang gusto. Wala siyang ibang pinansin kundi ito... pero ang crush niya, wala ring ibang tiningnan kundi ang taong hindi siya. So what will she do? Will she do everything just to be seen, or let fate decide what's meant for her? If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, then maybe it never was. In the middle of unreciprocated feelings, tahimik na kilig, at mga tanong kung "susuko ba o lalaban pa?" Reiv starts to see herself in the stories she used to only watch from afar. Minsan, habang iniintindi natin ang kilos ng ibang tao, hindi natin namamalayan... tayo rin pala, may sarili nang kwento na unti-unting nabubuo. What if ganoon si Reiv? What if the ending she never expected... was the one written for her all along?
