The Silent Pulse
They said she was weak. They were right-until the night she bled light. Rhys Cuevas, an MSU-General Santos student with a quiet soul and a scarred past, had always been the girl who stayed invisible. Until a near-death attack outside campus awakened something ancient within her- a heartbeat that didn't belong to this world. Now, strange lights haunt the shores of Queen Tuna Park. Shadows move even when there's no sun. And every time Rhys's heart skips a beat, the city trembles. Then came Paulo Larazabal-exiled from the secretive Order of Solas, a man with darkness etched in his blood and sins he refuses to name. He was sent to find her. He was supposed to stop her. But the moment their powers collided, something impossible happened- their heartbeats synchronized. Together, they became the Silent Pulse-a living anomaly, twice as powerful as the enemy the world fears most: Velantra, the devourer of light. But as Rhys learns to control the divine fire running through her veins, she begins to question everything. Was she chosen to save the world... or to end it? "When her heart stopped beating, the world started fighting." In a city where gods once walked and shadows still whisper, two broken souls will discover that love isn't always the cure- sometimes, it's the weapon destiny has been waiting for.Complete

I Woke Up as the Mafia Boss's Rejected Wife
I was just a normal college girl-reckless, loud, and a little bit of a troublemaker. But everything changed the moment I saved a child from being hit by a truck. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't dead. Instead, I woke up in the body of a woman everyone called perfect-rich, beautiful, angelic. The catch? She's married to a Mafia boss... and he hates her. To him, I am nothing but a burden. To his family, I am just an arranged pawn. But I'm not the same fragile wife they used to know. They wanted an obedient heiress. They got me instead-a fighter with a soft heart and iron fists. And if my Mafia husband thinks he can keep rejecting me... he's about to learn what kind of woman I really am.Complete
