The Second Installment of Double-Life: The Anatomy of Petals
Solaine Hanaya lives her life in two distinct, disconnected rhythms. By day, the sterile, high-pressure atmosphere of the ICU demands her absolute focus. By night, she seeks sanctuary in the scent of damp earth and greenery at her flower shop, a place where she can finally breathe. She believes she has mastered the art of compartmentalization-until Gideon enters her shop.
Gideon is a man of calculated precision. As a CEO, he navigates the cutthroat world of corporate expansion, but in the quiet of his private laboratory, he is a biologist obsessed with the fragility of life. When he meets Solaine, he isn't just drawn to the flowers; he is captivated by the way she shields her true self from the world.
As their paths cross, Solaine and Gideon realize that their double lives are not as hidden as they once thought. Between the surgical precision of the hospital, the delicate care of the greenhouse, the boardroom's cold logic, and the microscope's lens, they struggle to reconcile their public facades with the messy, organic reality of who they are when no one is watching.

[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
