Luca Alcazar has always lived on borrowed time. Alam niyang hindi siya tatagal nang matagal, his heart condition made sure of that. Kaya naman he lives recklessly, no second thoughts, no regrets. Para saan pa ang playing safe kung anytime pwedeng mawala ang lahat?
Then he meets Wren Velasco. She's the exact opposite, maingat, always thinking ten steps ahead, takot sa kahit anong uncertain. Pero nang malaman niya ang tungkol kay Luca, something shifts. Maybe, just this once, she wants to take a risk.
So they make a deal. Luca will teach her how to truly live, and she'll remind him why life is still worth holding onto. Pero paano kung the more they hold on, the more time slips away? At paano kung, in the end, love isn't enough to fight against time?
Because some stories are never meant to last forever. But maybe, just maybe, theirs is worth every borrowed day.

Almost, But Never Ours
What if, in another life, in another time, love was enough? They loved each other in silence, in the spaces between longing and letting go. Their hearts spoke a language only they understood-through stolen glances, fingertips brushing for a second too long, and the words they never had the courage to say. But fate was cruel. The world kept pulling them apart, forcing them into lives where they could never fully belong to each other. One stayed, carrying the weight of a love that never got its ending. The other became a memory, a ghost of what could have been. Yet, love like theirs never truly fades. It lingers, in dreams, in echoes of laughter, in the quiet ache of knowing-somewhere, somehow, they were almost meant to be.

17 Days & Die ✔️
[NOW TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED WORLDWIDE] "A life of happiness would be hell on earth." • When Grace finally decided to end her life, the last thing she expected was to meet a stranger simply gazing at the stars, dangling his feet over the edge of the bridge, exactly where she had planned to jump into the abyss and end it all. What was supposed to be the last hour of Grace's life becomes the hour in which she poured her drunken, broken heart out to a stranger over a bottle of scotch and a fresh round of tears. However, before they parted their ways, the stranger offered her a deal: she must promise to hold on to her life for another seventeen days, and afterwards, she could do with it whatever she'd like. He promise to even attend her funeral if he couldn't change her mind. But why seventeen days? And why did this stranger even care? There was more to him than what met the eye, and compelled by her own curiosity, Grace couldn't refuse. Maybe these seventeen days will only prolong her suffering. Or maybe they'll open her eyes to a part of life she never knew existed, full of hope for a brighter future. And maybe, just maybe, she'll learn to fall in love. • [FEATURED UNDER NEW ADULT, YOUNG ADULT, GENERAL FICTION, HUMOR & ROMANCE] • [Extended summary inside] [Started: 1 February'2020] [Finished: 24 January'2021] ©️prettyimbecileComplete
