LOVE SERIES#1
LOVE #1: MEDIOCRE LOVE
Maximilian Zephyr Vasquez's life was a comfortable melody, perfectly harmonized by the presence of his best friend. Their shared laughter, inside jokes, and unspoken understanding formed the bedrock of his happiness. Not until she left, vanishing without explanation, leaving behind a gaping chasm in his life. He tried to bury the deep, unspoken feelings he harbored for her, feelings that went far beyond friendship.
His efforts, however, proved futile. The ghost of her lingered, a phantom limb he couldn't ignore. Seeking solace and distraction, he pursued Ahtisa Reigh Lopez, a vibrant tourism student with a captivating smile and a zest for life. He poured his energy into winning her affection, believing that a new relationship would finally drown out the echoes of his past. He took her on dates, showered her with attention, and convinced himself that this was the love he'd always wanted.
He thought everything would go smooth, not until he found himself comparing Ahtisa to his lost friend, a comparison that constantly highlighted the mediocrity of his current relationship.
When Eleanor Morgan entered into the picture, he suddenly felt the happiness in his heart like what he felt for his best friend. Then there he realized what he did. Lies, pain, and betrayals will slowly unfold that will lead to a big misunderstanding.
Beneath a broken mask lies the truth behind the façade, and while masks can conceal pain, they cannot mend wounds. In the end, no mask was worth the torture. However, to Midnight Velasquez, who was forced to wear a mask since he was young, the mask hiding his true face was a façade he was ready to keep for a lifetime.
However, what occurs when the mask begins to break, revealing the dreadful things concealed beneath it? Would he have the courage to confront his true self reflected in the mirror, or would the remnants of his broken mask consume him and drag him into the depths of despair?
With a broken mask, a battered body and a weary soul, Midnight couldn't help pondering... is this life worth living for?
