She had the brains, the beauty, and a heart that could move mountains-but love? That's where Cassidy lost her way.
Behind the quiet strength and perfect smile was a woman hopelessly in love- the kind who walks barefoot on a path of thorns, who plants herself in the cracks of concrete, who keeps her light burning even in the fiercest storms.
They say white tulips symbolize purity and selfless love- ever-blooming even when neglected, gentle yet enduring. And Cassidy, in all her quiet devotion, was just that.
But how long can a heart keep fighting when it's never been held? How much more can she give, when she's already laid herself bare, served on a silver platter?
Only when those moments turned to memories then he realized..
The chase was never hers.

That Summer Rain We Didn't Expect (Luna Vista Series #1)
In the quiet town of Luna Vista, there's an old saying: when it rains during summer, something unforgettable is bound to happen-whether it's beautiful or not. In a cozy coffee shop where the rain always seemed to follow them, something quietly bloomed. It grew with the scent of old books and warm drinks. Like summer itself, brief yet unforgettable, some moments are not meant to be planned but only felt. What began as ordinary days slowly turned into something they never expected. When unexpected rain started to fall, so did things they never prepared for: glances that linger too long, feelings left unspoken, and memories that would never fade. Airielle has always been afraid of being alone, not because she doesn't enjoy the silence, but because of the weight that comes with it. Growing up with wounds she never fully spoke about, she learned to keep her walls high and her heart guarded. But what happens when, during one unexpected summer rain, she's forced to let go of everything she tried so hard to hold on to? Including him. Will she find the courage to face the storm inside her? Or will she have to forget that summer rain they didn't expect just to finally begin healing? Because sometimes, it's the unexpected rain that leaves the deepest mark.![THAT COLD CAMPUS KING IS MY EX-BOYFRIEND | Season 1 | ✓ [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/236490793-256-k841819.jpg)

"You may not want to be in my head. You might find someone other than myself that you won't be able to forget. It'll haunt you like a nightmare you can't tell. " "Silly. What's in that tough demeanor, ate Cray?" tumawa lang si Ember at kumapit ulit sa braso ko. "I like you. That's enough right?" Napailing na lang ako sa inaasal nito. If she'll learn our history, she'll then understand. Pinalis ko yung kamay nitong nakakapit na naman sa braso ko. "Compose yourself, Ember. I don't like you. You're just like a sister to me. Someone I had to protect with my life." I caught the way those words cut through her. It's visible in the same set of lifeless coal eyes that I am most familiar with. "Bakit?" I stared at her blankly. "Atleast tell me what you don't like about me." "That's exactly why it hurts the way it hurts." Napangiti ako ng mapait. "You have too many questions, too many words, in your head. But those will be left unsaid. Like me, you have to suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much every single day of your life. It hurts like hell." "Damn you. I like you." "You like me for what?" "You. You're not like everyone else. You're so sure of yourself. You're clever. You're self-made. You're everything. Everyone likes you. So you should be mine." I laughed at how shallow those things meant for her. Someone who can't even meet me in the depths of my shattered soul. "Thanks. But those are all my disorder." As i was about to turn my back, she whispered, "I actually feel sorry for you. You still don't know what it was that you even had. And yet still choose to lose. But one day, you'll see me for who I really am. And you're going to hate yourself for turning me down." No, Ember. You're wrong. I know you. You don't know me. Our past will surely haunt us. For you, I'll just be a girl known by everyone. But in fact, known by no one. It's terrible isn't it? The way we throw people away. ****Complete

She Who Was A He (Hacienda Series #1)
Bawat kirot ay may katumbas na paghihiganti. Yes, every pain demands a payback. That's the first thing I learned when I loved him. Not consciously, not right away-but slowly, in pieces. He taught me how to love. His love was wildfire-reckless, consuming, beautiful in the way it ruined everything. I thought I was lucky to have it. I thought he saw something in me. Maybe he did. Maybe he saw the parts that were already breaking. He taught me how to bend the rules, how to silence the voice in my head that said "this isn't right." With him, right and wrong blurred until they didn't matter. Until all that mattered was staying close enough not to lose him, but distant enough not to drown. And then came pain. He taught me pain in a thousand unspoken ways. In words that stung more than silence. In apologies that came too late. In touches that lingered with regret. And pain... And pain. Again and again No fairy tale. No forever. It was never about soulmates. It was just... a story. A complicated, messy, painful story. But still, I gambled. I bet my heart on something that didn't deserve it. And in the end, that so-called love? It destroyed me. It didn't just break me-it broke everything I cared about. Everyone I loved. It burned through every soft thing I had left inside me. Because that love... Was disastrous. Behind the illusion of love hid everything I was afraid of: pain, betrayal, lies, manipulation. A heartbreak wrapped in promises. A knife dressed like a kiss. But here's what no one tells you: after heartbreak comes something sharper. Stronger. Revenge. And revenge-it's not sweet. It's not cold. It's best served hot. The kind of heat that doesn't ask for closure. It takes it. I, who was a he, now turned into a she. I will serve pain out of pain. Not to mirror the cruelty, but to remind the world: You don't get to hurt someone like me and walk away unburned.Complete
