Effie has always been an observer of the sky, of the world passing by, and lately, of Nate. Effie's life has always been quieter than most, shaped by a heart that beats too slowly, too uncertainly. What starts as innocent curiosity turns into something like more. The more she learns about him the way he lingers at the bookshop, the notes he scribbles in the annotations of his books, the moments he thinks no one notices the more she wishes she were a part of his world.
Yet Effie knows love isn't something she can afford to risk, not when time is a luxury she doesn't have. But as their paths finally cross, she begins to wonder. Can you leave a mark on someone's life without ever being in it?

A ruthless CEO. A struggling student. A contract that was never supposed to mean anything more. But what happens when lines blur and emotions get in the way? Will they walk away unscathed, or will they end up breaking the very rules they swore to follow? ____________________________________________________________________ Jean-Martin Ferrer has spent his life building an empire. His ruthless efficiency has earned him both admiration and fear. With no patience for distractions-especially love-he sees relationships as nothing more than liabilities.

But no matter how hard she works, it's never enough. The debt left by her late mother's illness continues to bury her like quicksand she can't crawl out of. Every missed payment is like a ticking bomb. And when the threats start targeting her family, Natalie knows she's run out of time. Desperation leads her to the last thing she ever thought she'd consider. Becoming an escort. One night. One client. That's all it's supposed to be.

[THEN] Malay Natin: Siguro Ngayon
There are some things that aren't worth keeping. Nastia Kahlila Quijano has been convincing herself that walking away was the right thing she did. Even if it's already been three long years ever since she left. But with every passing second and every in-between of those years, she couldn't seem to getaway with the feelings still lingering in her system. She was haunted by the ideas of him, what might have been, and their memories together. Each day, each night; it was a choice she didn't want to regret. She was determined to move forward. But the biggest relapse struck her unexpectedly. All of her effort and hard work went down the drain. She couldn't seem to pull herself back from the memories reeling her in. From the phantom lurking in the form of her next door neighbor seemingly pulling her back to his arms. Maybe she should run away. Far enough where they wouldn't meet ever again. Far from his reach. Maybe she should treat him indifferently until he finally gives up. But Nika couldn't seem to handle the thought of him walking away and ending up with someone else. She couldn't have that either. Maybe, it was time for her to let things happen like clockwork. Maybe fighting it was futile. Maybe the right thing to do was run back to him. In his arms wide open. A place in the world that's only meant for her. Maybe, this time, they were meant to be. Book cover by: goldenaraw (on twitter)Complete

Status: Revised and Completed. Cerys keeps dreaming of lives in different eras, and part of her believes they are not just dreams but memories of lives she has already lived, lifetimes where she meets the same man again and again. And now, she lives as the heir to Montclair Sciences, a multinational biotechnology and pharmaceutical corporation on the edge of collapse. With enemies circling and expectations closing in, the last thing Cerys needs is dreaming of a man grieving as she dies in his arms. Determined to prepare for the role she will soon inherit, Cerys enrolls in a university where she can live quietly as an ordinary student. That's where she meets Yi-an, the brilliant and composed son of one of the most powerful families in the country, living the same low-profile life she hoped for. The dreams suddenly feel less like fantasies and more like memories, because his face and his voice mirror the man she sees in her sleep. But then she met his group of friends, and something unsettled her more. Ron, Yi-an's sharp-tongued best friend. The troublemaker who seems utterly indifferent to her presence yet somehow keeps her constantly on edge. He is not the man from her dreams, and yet, every instinct in Cerys tells her he matters more than he should. Because if her dreams point to Yi-an... Why in the world does her heart keep choosing Ron instead?Complete
The Ruthless Game
I've always been a big fan of yours. You're loved by many, owned by no one. I've always known you were meant to be admired from afar, but never to have... You are a star, I'm an average Jane. You are a prince, I am no princess... It was okay. It was never an issue. I knew what my priorities were. Love is a distraction that I didn't want. I was perfectly happy with my own run of the mill world. But then you came when I was least expecting you to. You gave me affection, unconditional love, and every thing a woman would certainly fall for... I got scared, but you assured me time and again that I had nothing to be afraid of. Said you would never let me down and that I was the last person that you'd want to see hurt. You were there when I fell. You became my world. I became yours... Ours was like a fairy tale. Perfect. We were so in love... So in love that I thought nothing could ever come between us. But then... she happened... She turned our fairy tale into a night mare.
