The Sweet Escape [Ongoing]
20 parts Ongoing Grace Salarza is a spirited IT student juggling classes and her late-night job at a convenience store near the University of Saint Laurent. After moving to the new campus in their second semester, a painful confession to her childhood best friend ends in heartbreak. Grace vows to focus on herself, until a chance encounter changes everything.
She met Zeniel Montillan: a brilliant yet intimidating debater from the Economics department whose name everyone on campus knows. What begins as a sleepy convenience store encounter turns into a series of unexpected meetings that blur the line between fate and coincidence. Beneath Zeniel's exterior hides a man struggling with passion, friendship, and filial duty, especially when Grace's presence begins to change the course of his journey.
Their first meeting was nothing but ordinary, a tired cashier girl and a stranger guy buying food before sunrise. Yet in that fleeting moment, something shifted: she called his name correctly, and he remembered her face. But the moment they got close, the heavier his burden become, torn between his desire to love her and his fear of disgracing his family sets in.
As things unravel and hearts learn to heal, will Zeniel find in Grace the "sweet escape" she's been longing for? Or will she only discover that some connections, no matter how unexpected they are, meant to change you forever?
