Rhiana Cassandra P. Mercado is a Detective Lieutenant. Even though she doesn't know who killed her wife and child, she made a promise to herself that she would find out. She spent five years searching, but not once did she find a clue. The only thing she knew about the killer was that the murders happened on clear days-when the weather was calm, not too hot, not rainy, and the wind felt fresh. The day was always beautiful. But unlike the weather, her life turned out the opposite-tragic and full of regret.
Her mind was consumed with guilt. She blamed no one else but herself for the deaths of her wife and child.
She made a vow to herself: she would only allow herself to smile again once the person responsible was caught. But everything began to change when the daughter of her mother's friend moved into her home.
Suddenly, she found herself smiling again-doing things she hadn't done in the past five years. And all because of a woman named Saffarah Elise S. Navarro. It felt like the walls she built over the past five years came crashing down because of her.
But how could she face the truth now... when the woman she had learned to love might actually be connected to the death of her family?

Note:
This is a new version of I Can't Love You. I made some changes because in the original, things were happening too quickly between the characters. So if you read this, please know that it's not the same as before-even the names have been changed.
I hope you enjoy this new version.
Thank you!!!

Call Me Julian (wlw)
When overworked medical intern Juliana "Jules" Marquez wakes up in a rural village that shouldn't exist, she has no idea how she got there, only that it's definitely the 1800s, no one has ever heard of antibiotics, and being a woman with opinions is not in fashion. Desperate to survive, Jules poses as "Julian," a traveling doctor. With her quick wit, real-life trauma, rotation skills, and a very convincing coat, she accidentally impresses the local chief, and gets herself a room, a reputation, and a job. Enter Cassandra, the chief's beautiful, whip-smart daughter who has made dodging marriage proposals an art form. At first she was very skeptical but finds herself watching more often than not this odd, sarcastic "man" who knows more about the human body than anyone she's ever met, and who reacts to every flirtation like someone set him on fire. As Jules navigates herbal remedies, goat birthing, and the terrifying possibility that she might be stuck here forever, she finds herself falling for the village, for the people, and for the girl who might just see right through her. But time is a tricky thing. And secrets, even the well-meant ones, don't stay buried forever. Let's explore this sapphic historical romcom about identity, second chances, and falling for someone who makes you feel like you've known them forever-even if you've just met. Disclaimer...

Alluring The Fire [Under Revision]
WARNING: SPG | Mature Content | R-18 All she was expecting from him was a grant to support her education; little did she know that he would give her more. ✼━━━━━━━━━━━━✼ The 20-year-old student, Cassandra del Rosario, has no other objectives in life but two things: (1) to be liberated from the undesired degree program, and (2) to release her family from the curse of poverty. For Lorenzo Castillo, the 27-year-old new mayor of the town of Hope, or "Pueblo de Esperanza", nothing is important to him but two things: (1) to be disengaged from his father's will and (2) to execute the scheme that was developed by his resentful past. When their paths met, the two could not deny the curiosity and interest that they felt for each other. However, due to their status in life- Cassandra as a scholar and Lorenzo as a mayor- their sudden relationship became furtive. But one thing is undoubtedly true: no secret can be kept forever. Everything will be disclosed, and everyone will be opposed to their stealthy affair. For Cassandra, Lorenzo was the man who captured her heart; for Lorenzo, Cassandra was nothing more than a knick-knack for the little game he wanted to perform. Cassandra's heart shattered to pieces upon learning all the secrets that were kept from her. Lorenzo will feel that he should be over the moon as he finally accomplished his long-awaited plan, but why did everything he did seem to backfire on him? Separated paths. Shattered trusts. Broken hearts. Is love really worth fighting for? © 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒉, 2019 *This novel is unedited.

That's What They Told Me
Lumi-as someone who's being told what to believe and hope in everything as she grows up-reckons that living is a way to comply with and entrust one's entire life to serving superiors on top of the hierarchy. Who will not think of that way anyway? Being harbored in the lands of Castellanos, it is engraved in her mind that she lives to pay her debt of gratitude to the family who sheltered her, who protected her from all the cruelties the outside world has to offer behind those fences. What they're doing is to protect her life and welfare-that's what they told her. So there's no other way to live but be the gullible and obedient yokel of the Castellano clan, because they're doing everything just for her safety. But that's before her life turns upside-down as she discovers a strange note from the attic. "To whoever finds this message, they erased us. This is all that remains. Remember us, please." What does the note want to convey? Is it just one of those mundane trivial stuff found in an attic like the usual when someone decides to clean it? Or is it something connected to her... "safety?" For sure it is for her safety. That's what they always tell her. But what one hears is not always the version of reality. Most of the time, it is the most convenient scheme to twist and bend the truth. That... That's what they will never tell her. --- Start: July 01, 2020 End: December 02, 2020Complete

Cecindei: Zeita Frumusetii
[ MPREG ] [ Trans X Straight ] They say the world has always belonged to the dominant. The powerful devours powerless. Because only dominance conquers dominance. That is the truth everyone believes...Until beauty enters the room. Vanna was born carrying a face that legends would mistake for divinity, a beauty so breathtaking it blurred the line between blessing and catastrophe. Men desired her. Women admired her. But beauty did not save her father from his death, nor did it spare her from leaving to begin a new life with her mother. Fate led them into the home of Mr. Lardizabal, where Vanna met his only son, Keann. He was a gentle-hearted boy whose smile could soften the harshest mornings. Yet beneath that, lurked the most lethal addiction. A devotion so absolute it hollowed him from within until the sweet little boy Vanna first met became a pathetic little bitch. Vanna refused to witness more suffering. With unwavering conviction, she decided to walk into the den not as the lamb, but as the famine. A den that was ruled by an elite brotherhood of untouchable men whose influence reached beyond wealth, fear, and law. Valos. To survive among them was to speak their language. Favors instead of kindness. Obsession instead of love. Silence instead of mercy. And one by one, the men who had bent lives to their will found themselves bending toward her. As dangerous bargains blur into intoxicating obsessions, Vanna must decide whether she can remain untouched, or whether even a goddess can be corrupted by the monsters she sought to tame. Because in the end, the greatest contradiction was never that dominance defeated dominance. It was that dominance had always believed itself invincible...Until beauty looked it in the eye. And for the first time...Dominance lowered its head. Because only beauty can bring dominance to its knees. Only beauty can tame the beast. Only beauty conquers dominance. And Vanna...well...she was the woman destined to prove it.
