Sorcha Byrne and her twin used to love mythology when they were little. Their parents will tell them stories about the different gods and goddesses, and naturally, her twin brother's favorite is the King of the Gods, Zeus. But she was more drawn to Hestia. The goddess of the hearth, home, and family.
While Hestia was most known for tending the hearth and ensuring the well-being of her community, that wasn't what made Sorcha interested in her. It was the fact that she's wise enough to keep to herself, stay in a quiet place, and save herself from all the dramas around her.
She's the greatest unbothered queen, and Sorcha see herself in her. The only difference is that their hearths are far different from one another. She's like a frosty version of Hestia.
Not that she's unfeeling or anything. She's just more comfortable with ignoring everything around her. Since she makes no effort to try to understand the world outside of her own, it wasn't surprising that it's now causing her problems.
So here she is facing a dilemma since her no-nonsense attitude is causing problems at work. She was expecting to get fired, but the Dawson siblings are really good employers.
As a compromise, they propose an interpersonal skills training just for her. She just need to take on a small special case where she will be shadowed to mentor someone in the ins and outs of her daily job.
Wala naman sanang problema. It's supposed to be easy... except it wasn't. Not when the person she's "babysitting" is far from the idea she have of a wide-eyed student, and instead she's going to be stuck for ninety hell days with Darien Zeon Henderson, also known as Daze, a famous actor who is currently preparing for a role he's going to play.
Ninety days? Damn it. Someone just please burn me and sacrifice me to the gods and goddesses, or it would be Daze Henderson that I will offer as one!

"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
BHO CAMP #10: The Wild Card
I always feel like I'm floating through life. There was nothing to hold me in one place, there's nothing that has enough weight for me to stay. Still... I wanted to believe that there's something special out there waiting for me. Pero hindi pala ganoong kadali ang lahat. It's just too tiring to struggle and keep my head above the water... to fight the tides trying to pull me down. So for a moment, I stopped fighting... letting the currents take me where it wants me to go. I just didn't expect the next thing life pulled for me. An embodiment of uncertainty. A gamble, an unpredictability. Life gave me a wild card. It's a bittersweet risk. The question is... do I have the winning hand or will I end up holding on to nothing?Complete

My safety wife ( Series 1)
Avianna Hope Diaz, a small-town veterinarian with a guarded heart, vowed never to fall in love again after being cheated on by her first boyfriend. Love, for her, became something distant-until destiny brings back her childhood best friend and first love, Malachi Conan Rivera, from the U.S. Years ago, they made a silly pact: *if they're both still single by 30, they'll marry each other-just for fun.* But what started as a harmless inside joke turns serious when a dare at a party leads to an unexpected twist: their mutual friend, Mayor August, submits their signed "marriage contract" from that drunken night... and it becomes legally binding. Avianna is shocked when she discovers she's now *legally married* to Malachi. But what breaks her isn't just the accident-it's learning that Malachi didn't stop it. Why? Because he *needed* a wife to claim his inheritance from his powerful, controlling grandfather. Now caught between the lines of a joke, a contract, and the remnants of old feelings, Avianna must decide: is she just his "safety wife," or was she always meant to be *the one*?

Hello Roses! After a three year hiatus, I am finally back! To the readers of The Rose, I apologize for the not updating the story for a long time - really long time. I was busy at work and school, and so I had to postpone updating it. A family member of mine encouraged me to continue writing the story. She was delighted to see the positive comments you guys left, and no one appreciates it more than I do. It truly makes me happy! Now, I promise you that I will keep you updated with fresh chapters every week to keep the story going. I re-read the entire story, and I found out that there are a lot of things to improve(grammar, scenarios, plot), and so I decided to edit the entire story starting from the very beginning(this occupied most of my time). Yes, please feel free to re-read the story from the very beginning because a lot of scenarios were added for your convenience! :) I apologize in advance to the readers for the grammar/spelling/typo mistakes. No excuses, I am obviously not an expert! However, please feel free to message me for the corrections anytime, and I would gladly edit it. Lastly, napansin niyo siguro - bakit parang ang tagal magka-developan nung mga bida? At bakit ang dami nilang dialogues together? Well, that is because I want the lead characters to create a memorable time together. You will figure out what I mean as you read along . And most importantly, I want to highlight how a normal conversation between two people are - that it is not fast paced, and a lot of things really do happen in a day. :) That's it for now!

Wicked Escape (COMPLETED)
I never had any experience dating men. Never had the chance to enjoy my life on my own. Never experienced to be an ordinary girl. Parties. Dates. First kiss. Never had any of those. I was so jealous of my friends who can go out whenever they wanted to go. Because I grew up always surrounded by the security detail that was provided by my father. Thanks to his successful political career that ruined my freedom. But I had enough. I am done with those uniformed bodyguards that always followed wherever I go. I am done being confined in our own home. I am done being the prisoner of my own life. I would start to live and enjoy my freedom by running away. Then I met him. And it was the best times of my life. ----------------- My latest assignment was to become an additional security detail for a spoiled brat daughter of a famous political man. An assignment that I totally disliked from the start. But as an agent, I was trained not to say no to any case that was given to me. As much as I hated this kind of a no brainer mission, I needed to do it. She was a brat. Selfish. Who in their right mind would run away from a family that was giving her the best life that anyone could wish? But she was my mission, and even if I hated her, I was bound to protect her with my life. But for the first time, I failed my mission. The most important one in my entire career as an agent. Everyone thought that I was the hero that saved her. They didn't know the wicked little secret that I was hiding from them. My only job was to protect her. And I ended up wrecking her. . ---------- A/N: PHYSICAL BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE. Same plot and characters but this copy is totally different from the self-pub version.
