AMBROSIA MONTERANO is in dire need of a rehab. Sa kaliwa't kanang mga bisyo kasi - alak, sigarilyo at lalaki ay napapagod na ang mga magulang sa buhay niyang walang direksyon.
Pero ang akala'y bisyo ang dahilan ng agarang pagpapauwi sa isla ay may malalim na rason pala. Her family's dark secrets were revealed before her very eyes. And those secrets left a heavy scar in her heart that forced her to change for good. At ang mabuting pagbabagong iyon ang nagtulak sa kanyang lisanin ang isla at kalimutan si Lucian Laverde - the man she almost fell in love with, only to find out he was being used by her father to make her suffer.
Now that Rosha is contented with her simple life, hindi na niya papangarapin pang bumalik sa isla na makapagpapaalala ng panloloko nito at sakit ng nakaraan. Pero anong magagawa niya kung pilit siyang pinababalik ni Lucian? At ang kapalit? Ang paglipat nito ng mamanahin niya sa kanyang pangalan. Will she ever find her way home again?

#Lingorm/Ormling AU Norawan, the breathtaking actress and singer who had earned the title of "The Treasure of Thailand," seemed to have it all-fame, beauty, wealth, and an enviable social life. Everywhere she went, she was adored, and her career was thriving. Yet, her ambitions stretched far beyond the borders of Thailand. Her next goal: to take Asia by storm. The opportunity she'd been waiting for came when the wealthiest man in China offered her a partnership with his elite company, giving her access to high-end brand deals in Hong Kong. On top of that, she was given the chance to sell her own luxury brand. What no one knew was that Norawan had always been destined for a life of unparalleled success. Born into a prestigious, spiritually-connected family, she had grown up with a fortune teller who had guided her ancestors, predicting their futures with stunning accuracy. Today, was Norawan's turn of her family to receive her own prediction from the wise and revered Mrs. Mei, a woman known for her insights. Despite that, Norawan was also destined to have a rough path ahead of her-love wasn't something that would come easily to her, like money, fame, and fortune. Allegedly, the connection she'd have with her love would be rocky and intense, making her unable to think properly. Despite this prophecy, she hadn't met this person in the four years following the prediction. For Norawan, love was not the main goal; success, and only success, was what she set her sights on. She worked relentlessly, determined to make her mark in the world, believing that love could wait until her career had been firmly established. * slow burn AU.

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing.
