Some children inherit a name.
Others inherit a secret.
Born outside the bounds of marriage, Iraya entered the world carrying a truth that could never be spoken aloud. To protect a promise made long before she could understand its weight, she was raised knowing only fragments of her own story.
For eighteen years, she never questioned the life she had been given.
Until the silence began whispering back.
The answers she has searched for her entire life lie hidden behind carefully guarded lies, forgotten promises, and a destiny that was never truly hers to choose.
Because sometimes...
The greatest secret is not who you are.
But who you were never allowed to become.
++
illegitimate (adj.)
1530s, "born out of wedlock," formed in English (and replacing earlier illegitime, c. 1500), modeled on Late Latin illegitimus, "not legitimate" (see il- + legitimate).

Reincarnated Into Ruin
She died once. That should have been the end. But instead, she woke up in another world. A world ruled by magic. A world where power decides your worth, where the strong are worshipped, and the weak are nothing. In her first life, she was an assassin. A woman so formidable that no one dared to touch her, her presence alone enough to silence a room. In her second life, she became a princess. Not just any princess, but her favorite side character from her favorite manhwa. The problem? Nobody liked her. The character was hated, mocked and called useless. Her reputation was ruined, simple because they called her as an attention seeker, cruel, obsessed with a man that was forced to marry her. The princess was the weakest in a family of monsters. A royal who, they said, did not deserve the crown. That was the reason why the princess died. Will she accept the destiny of this princess? Or will she let her die again, just as she did in her first life? Or perhaps, she will become the key to unlocking the hidden power the princess has carried all along. Something dangerous. Something powerful. Something that could change everything. This time, she will make sure to take revenge. To rewrite the fate of her favorite character, even if she was only a side character. Will she rise and claim the power that was meant for her? Or will this new life destroy her before it even begins?

The Mafia's Obsession
R-18
Objection, Your Honor! I'm the Villainess?!
I used to be the undefeated queen of the courtroom-Alexis Reyes, the baddest, sassiest, most feared lawyer sa buong Pilipinas. Walang kaso na hindi ko napanalunan. Until... BAM! I woke up sa isang romantic harem novel. And guess what? Ako yung kontrabida. Oo, ako si Celestine Alcantara-heiress ng Alcantara Medical Empire, mayaman, glam, at certified mean girl. Kalaban ko? Yung so-called mabait at pure-hearted female lead, si Liana Cruz. She's the adoptive daughter of the CEO ng rival hospital chain. Pero teka, bakit ako ang mas relateable? Bakit parang ako yung pinagtutulungan ng universe? To make things worse, and by worse I mean juicy... I'm surrounded by four walking red flags: - A cold but dangerously hot CEO na may hidden soft side. - A smug hotshot lawyer na parang version ko sa OG world. - A charming doctor na mas makinis pa sa baby oil. - At isang sexy celebrity chef na laging may pa-sweet na pagkain... and kilig. They're all supposedly in love with Liana. Pero bakit parang ako ang binibigyan ng screen time ngayon? Plot twist ba 'to o character development? Now I have two choices: follow the script and face my "tragic" ending... or rewrite the story, make them fall for me, and prove na kahit villainess ako, I slay-with or without a gavel. This is not your typical love story. This is my cross-examination with fate. Game ka na ba, Your Honor?

A NEW LIFE BETWEEN PAGES: Unwritten Destiny
Si 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐧 ay isang orphan queen who basically parented herself. Independent, adventurous, at certified wanderlust at siya na talaga ang definition ng "solo traveler."

I raised myself by myself, no drama. I loved traveling alone and just exploring the world, but I guess the universe had other plans for me." I was just walking normally when I saw this book near a kanal. Super sayang if it gets wet, right? So, I picked it up. The story was actually interesting, pero oh my gosh, the pages were missing! Hindi ko tuloy alam kung anong mangyayari sa ending. I was so focused on reading while walking that I didn't see the open drainage. And then... kaboom! I fell. It was so kadiri and painful, okay? I literally died feeling like a total disaster. But then, I opened my eyes. Wait, why am I in a bed that feels like five-star hotel quality? I sat up and touched my face. Still pretty! "Goodness Gracious! Why am I here... inside a book? Siguro destiny made it happen para i-pasok ako here ah," I checked my reflection sa mirror nearby and flipped my hair. Haba talaga ng hair ko! My life just went from tragic drainage accident to main character energy, real quick. This is so bongga! ❤︎❤︎❤︎ This story is written in both Tagalog and English. Read at your own risk.
