Aya is miserable at her job. She's thinking of quitting, but can't seem to realize the idea, until she comes across a newspaper editorial telling her exactly to do just that.
She knows the editorial is not written for her, but it sounds like it is written by her. The words, the emotions feel like hers.
Maybe Modern Mr. Darcy, the editorial's author, has some sort of magical superpower.
Inspired by the editorial, Aya goes from quitting her job, to flying to Batanes for a must-needed vacation.
There she meets Marco, a carefree guy who gets high with adventure and who appears to be someone she can have a no-strings-attached kind of fun.
Because what happens in Batanes stays in Batanes.
Or not.

A Wind of Memories
I just wanna think thoroughly and rest my mind afterwards. At some point, I wished I could escape my problems. Be on another world. But I waved that thought away quickly. It's impossible. However, when I woke up, I feel like I forgot something. Someone. That left behind. And confused why the hell am I running out of breath. A vague dream for my tedious typical day. A dream that I can't remember but felt. Like the harsh wind that's embracing me. So refreshing. But so fast. Na ang panaginip kong iyon, parang malakas na hangin. Ramdam na ramdam pero agad na nakalimutan, at hahanap-hanapin. Tinangay na at hindi na makita pa. Like that memories. This will be written in taglish.

I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?"

We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent.

Found in Darkness
A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family. What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.

Vengeance
[complete; editing, ROUGH draft] "Say something in Spanish." I snorted, "Like what?" "I don't know... I just want to hear you speak it." Our gaze stayed on each other for more than it should've. But I couldn't look away. Her hair laid out behind her on the pillow, her hands under her cheek and her head nearly under my arm. I inhaled, "Puede que me esté enamorando de alguien que nunca me amará." She parted her lips and for a second I thought she understood me, my heart skipped a beat until she spoke, "And what does that mean?" "It means, this woman beside me asks too many questions," I lied. ***** Oakley Marrero has been nothing but a rebel since witnessing her parent's murder at the age of eight.

But beneath the layers of wealth and power lies a man tormented by his past, who guards his heart with impenetrable walls. Enter Avionna, a spirited and tenacious young woman seeking a fresh start. Despite her tough exterior, she is unafraid to challenge the status quo-or rather, the stone-faced man who intimidates everyone around him.

As their secret connection deepens, Alexander finds himself torn between the ruthless world he inhabits and the unexpected joy Avionna brings into his life. With every teasing remark and stolen moment, the barriers begin to crumble. But as love blossoms, shadows from Alexander's past loom large, threatening to pull them apart. Together, they must navigate jealousy, betrayal, and the ever-looming dangers of the mafia world. Will Avionna's unyielding spirit be enough to soften Alexander's hardened heart, or will the trials they face prove too great for their burgeoning love? Join Avionna and Alexander on a passionate journey filled with tension, unexpected twists, and ultimately, a quest for happiness. Can they overcome the odds stacked against them and find their way to a love that conquers all? Only time will tell in "Personal Maid of Montemayor."Zakończone
