When two heirs from powerful, secret-keeping empires are forced into an arranged marriage, the deal isn't just about business-it's about control.
Leo Cortez, cold and calculated, leads a hidden syndicate to protect his family's trillion-dollar tech empire.
Elizabeth Dela Cruz, beautiful but lethal, runs an underground network of her own to shield her family's global reach.
Both have secrets. Both want the upper hand. But as trust turns into tension-and tension turns into something more-they realize the real enemy might not be each other... but the people pulling the strings behind them.
And when Leo's wild twin sister, Alessia, returns with a buried past and a dangerous truth, everything begins to unravel.
In a world where power means survival,
trust is the most dangerous game of all.

If It Ain't Love, Then I Don't Know What Is
Senior high school was probably one of the best moments in life, at least for certain folks. We learn the meaning of life from those periods. It only happens 3 years for the majority of people. But the moments still linger on our mind. Example? Here it goes... "They say teenage romance is awkward-but nobody said it would come with strawberry perfume, secret siblings, and a weeb girl who could read minds..." "'Are you seriously making out with your twin?!' I screamed. Dani stood frozen. Daisy ran. And somehow... this all started with candied flowers." "An absolute affection coming from absurd person? Shining Glasses included... such an irony". And many more absurdity follows... Putra, a normal student that has been dragged everywhere... This story is based on an Indonesian High School, where a male teen discovers a new perspective on affection. *Notes - Sorry for my basic, amateurish English and story telling. I'll do my best to improve. Peace.

Picture Picture
For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete
