Nueva Ecija Series #1: Defying Beliefs Hiraya Bella Alvarez has been liking Harrison Armando since they were in senior high school. Her affection towards him grew as they entered college life. She kept on going to the university he's studying just to see him. Until she decided to chase him because she's tired of not being noticed by him. She started making efforts for him to recognize her or to remember that they were once in the same school on senior high. But when Harisson finally recognized her, Hiraya realized that her friend was right. She didn't really know a single thing about him. She wasn't prepared for the things unveiling right in front of her. And for that, she wished she never knew those things in the first place. She might've saved her feelings for him. She might've never thought of defying her beliefs . . . in order to have someone she's been chasing for years. On the other hand, Percival Cristobal believes that first love dies--that it was all just an experience and it should be left in the past . . . or so he thought. ___ Book cover illustrated by: @heynette ❤️
