She woke up running.
No name, no memory-just burning lungs, bleeding feet, and the overwhelming instinct to survive. The forest tore at her like it was personal. Her mind was blank, but her body knew one thing: don't stop.
Then came the open field. The too-perfect wooden village. The voices. The men.
A gun to her head. A stick in her hand. Screaming. Fighting. Running again.
Wherever she was, she didn't belong there.
And if they got too close again-
Well. Someone was definitely getting stabbed.

The Princess of Asturias, Leonor
When duty is the only choice, can love survive the silence? Krystal De Roma is a brilliant, ambitious Filipino student, whose sole focus is her dream of becoming a doctor. Her Royal Highness Leonor de Borbón Ortiz, the heir to the Spanish throne, is poised, disciplined, and utterly confined by the demands of a future Queen. Their worlds should never have collided, but during a 3 month-long cultural exchange program in Wales, they found in each other a solace and a fierce, forbidden connection neither could deny. What started as a shared academic journey quickly spiraled into a love defined by late nights, stolen moments, and the looming reality of a relationship that could shatter two kingdoms. Krystal's commitment to her medical vow and Leonor's duty to her Crown create a choice that feels impossible: choose their future together, or choose the paths they were born into. When the program is reaching its end, Krystal makes the devastating decision to walk away, retreating to the demanding world of her life in Baguio to build the life she promised herself. Leonor, meanwhile, trades her girlhood for military training and constitutional law, hardening herself to become the Queen Spain demands. Three years of painful silence, relentless ambition, and mounting regret later, their paths violently cross again in Manila. Leonor returns not as the tentative Princess Krystal once knew, but as an heir forged in discipline, ready to rule. She presents Krystal with an ultimatum: abandon the hesitation and choose their future now, or lose her forever. On the very night Krystal achieves her lifelong dream of graduation, she is forced to confront the truth her heart has been hiding. Her silence is the answer.Complete

Saved
She....I....... I was running through the thick branches, pushing the leaves out of my way with all my might. I had to get away. The wet, brown, ground made it easier for me to slip and let her red, chilling hands slip around my innocent, scarred body, not knowing where she would take me next. I was almost out of breath, but I had to keep running if I wanted to make it out of this forest alive. My red dress was getting torn to shreds, and my hands and feet had mud all over them. My long, bushy brown hair was getting hooked on every possible branch, making me push my hair in the back of my dress, just like I used to when I was forced to cook everyday for my loathsome 'parents'. Returning back to the real world, I had to stop otherwise I would black out. I took a few seconds to catch my breath silently, and to look around to see if she was there behind me. I was looking up at the tall, old tree when I heard a twig snap behind me. Just like in the horror films. I turned and ran in the same direction, not daring to look back and see her wretched face fixed on my body. I sprinted and sprinted, but slowed down when I saw I was heading to nowhere but a ragged cliff. The unknown would me known if I continued to run and jump. I stopped two metres away from the cliff and looked down to see a valley so far down. If I jump..... I die. If I let her take me..... the unfair horribleness awaits me. I had no choice. I jumped.Complete
All Roads Lead to Rome
"Promise me you'll come to the club tomorrow night." he said in a rough voice, forehead on hers. Her head still spinning, she started to shake her head. He stopped her by putting his other hand on her face. "Please. Antares needs you." "No one needs me." she whispered, but he seen the struggle for hope in her blue eyes. The fact that she had to struggle for it broke his heart. The fact that she lost that battle shattered it. *** A few things here. First, this is a polyamorous love story. If that bothers you, keep scrolling, this isn't the story for you. Second, there are mature scenes in this book in regards to mild violence and heavy sex. Third, this story happens concurrently with two other stories of mine "Open for Negotiation" and "Bloody Desire" And lastly, this does touch on addiction and depression so if I get anything wrong about that, feel free to message me so I can correct it. Or even if you just want to talk.Complete
Crossing Into Forever
In the darkness of her dreams, she saw herself standing at a window looking down below, only to see a misting, swirling fog. She could not see the ground and did not know how far down it was. She had no idea where she was. Soon after, she was led down a dark hallway to a room with a large altar. She felt herself being lifted up and then placed back down on the hard stone surface. Now all she could see was a large man, holding a knife in his hands, with the sharp edge pointed directly over her heart...Then a different man with deep blue eyes was looking down at her, and his hand was caressing her face, telling her everything was going to be ok. A loud bang on the door made her startle and rise up. There, coming through the door, were several large angry men, dressed strangely in what looked like animal furs and carrying ominous looking weapons. Some had clubs with sharp objects attached to the ends and others had sharp axes and swords. She could hear her own screams escaping from her lips, and she opened her eyes to notice she was lying in her bed in the safety of her room in the convent where she lived. She was still trembling and had to tell herself it was just a dream. She was safe and no one would ever be able to hurt her.Complete
Under the Circumstances
Warning: This is book one (It is finished) in a series I am working on book 2 Into: Her house stood at the base of the Headlong cliffs. The cliffs are great desert mountains built by ages of sand hardening and becoming hard rock. It was dark by the time she began to climb up the dangerous cliffs, scraping her knees here and there. She grew up near these cliffs, this was home. She has been through every nook and cranny not missing a single detail. She could climb through these cliffs day, night, rain, shine, wind, snow, anything, even blind. But tonight she climbed to seek refuge from her life below. At the top there was a shack built up of large metal sheets that had likely been placed together by some random traveler seeking shelter. She crawled her way into the small hole that substitutes as an entrance. Inside there were a few boxes and a patch of dirt. She sat down and leaned against one of the boxes. She pulled her knees to her chest and stuck her head down so that she looked like a little ball. Finally, after holding it all in for far too long, she let the flood of tears flow. She sat there on the hard ground crying and crying and crying until there were no possible tears left to cry.Complete
