They say he's the "devil in disguise."
Atty. Damian Alcantara - cold, cunning, and always two steps ahead in the courtroom. People see him as a man who fights only when the money's right. A lawyer who never loses because he only picks battles he's sure to win.
But what they don't know is...
He never cared about winning.
He never cared about the fame.
And he never cared about the money.
Because behind that ruthless facade is a man who chooses cases not for profit, but for justice that the world has long denied him. A man with a heart that still bleeds for the innocent-hidden and tamed by the walls he built to survive.
But what happens when Kieran Dela Torre, a man who sees through his mask, steps into his world?
Will Damian finally let his heart win this time?
Or will he continue playing the villain in a world that only believes in what they see?

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn)
Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]Concluída
When The Mob Villian Doesn't Want To Die (To be soon Rewritten)
Bully. Disgusting. Annoying. Egoistic. Pompous. Stupid. Lester Farrington is all of these words to everyone who knew him. A bully who takes fun from insulting other students. An idiotic noble who only cares about himself. The infamous thorn of the Farringtons. And Lester did not give a mind to all of that. He has everything he wanted; money, looks...what else does he need. So, when he finds a novel about his world, where he gets manipulated and becomes one of the villainess's pawns and dies as a traitor, Lester was gravely enraged [and kind of terrified] of his fate. What was he supposed to do with this knowledge? How is he supposed to make sure to not die? What should he do? Well, of course, he is going to change his fate! How can he let his death be used as just another stepping stone to make the main character shine? If he is going to die, it will be by his own terms. And thus, the boy makes his plans to change his fate and eliminate his death flags, and commits to executing them. But will he be really successful in his plan? For it seems like there are some underlying forces and knowledge beyond his comprehension, not wanting for his plans to succeed. (The cover and picture belong to me) ____ This book has been discontinued. A rewritten version will be coming soon.

Mindful Beauty
Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks. A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind? ••• Ch. 39 Excerpt "Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him. Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply. Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat. "To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.Concluída![Glitz of Love [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/282486881-256-k90026.jpg)
