"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
Aprielle Castellano was determined to commit suicide by jumping off the bridge, letting herself drown, and die with her lungs filled with water-well, not until this blue-haired guy appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a vintage Volkswagen van and a mouth blurting out philosophical words.

Five different strangers ventured into an escapade with no exact destination, driven by the desperation of finding themselves again. Each one of them had their issues with life and its significance, but one thingʼs for sure: they all want to be healed, to forget their scars, and to be free from wounds.
The eagerness of seeking for their own lost souls, which they believe are found in the stars, is it really worth the risk? Or will they just waste their time looking for it but in the end, they can never escape their cruel realities? Can five insignificant existence find the right road?
Their own philosophy about stars created a connection within them-a strange affinity. But what really are the stars? What is its metaphorical symbolism?
Despite the uncertainties of their purpose and path, will you take the risk, leave those scars . . . and take the road to the stars?

Rayanne Felicia Roncesvalles has spent her entire life getting everything she wants. As the sole heiress of the Roncesvalles Empire, she was born into power, privilege, and success. Losing has never been an option-and neither has being told no. Until Hessandro Vandross dela Merced. He is the one man she can't have. Engaged to another woman and completely out of reach, Hessandro remains the only thing Raia has ever truly wanted but could never claim as her own. Then everything changes. When the dela Merced empire begins to crumble, Raia offers a deal that could save them all-a marriage in exchange for her name, her status, and her wealth. What should have been her greatest victory soon turns into her deepest heartbreak. Bound to a man who married her out of obligation, Raia is forced to face a painful truth: money can buy power, influence, and almost anything in the world-but it can never make someone love you. How long can she keep fighting for a man whose heart has always belonged elsewhere? And when love becomes a battle she can't win, will she finally learn to let go-or lose herself trying to hold on?
I Like You
Change, Changes, and Changed are similar yet nonetheless distinct words. Words that have the same meaning as resulting, having, or making something different. And in life? That's INEVITABLE. My life suddenly changed when you came into it. You, who make me feel as though I could melt and drown in your blue ocean-like eyes. You, who smile as bright as the sun, make everything feel alright. You, who were always there right by my side whenever I feel down and lost, scared and lonely, excited and happy. You, who unchained my locked heart when I thought it would never be unshackled again. You, who made me realize that life is bearable when you are not alone, that I can get through it, if I surrounded myself with love. You. Yes, You. The person that I liked, and the person that broke my trust and wasted my love. But I still hope that you, who did that, will have peace and happiness in your life. - to whom I liked, from Maica ✖✖✖ Language: TagLish By: TheBestForGoddess Started on: October 26, 2017 Published on: December 04, 2018 Completed on: March 26 , 2025 Status: CompletedComplete
