Lily 'Birdie' Cheng never expected the loss to hurt so much.
The death of her best friend. Everything she thought was solid slipped away in an instant.
In the midst of the wreckage, there's Manolo Joel Suarez Gonzalez: quiet, distant, and the last person she would have came to.
They're just mutual friends. Just passing acquaintances. Nothing more.
But then, when you least expect it, the person you've never really noticed finally sees you.
And when you're broken, sometimes the one who sees your cracks is the one who can fix you-if only for a moment.
And sometimes, the heart doesn't care who it destroys, as long as it feels alive again.
A story about trust, heart break, and the painful beauty of letting someone in when you've already been shattered.

Bound To Love You
"You came into my life out of nowhere, Eliana, like a storm I never saw coming, and turned everything upside down. You stirred feelings in me I didn't even know I had. And now, just like that, you want to walk away? After everything? If that's really what you want, then fine... but before you go, I swear I'll make you fall in love with me. Maybe then, you'll realize this is where you belong... with me." After graduating from college, Eliana is ready to start a new chapter of her life. She dreams of joining her older sister abroad to help support their family, but everything changes when tragedy strikes. Her best friend, who is heavily pregnant, gets into a terrible accident on her way home. Miraculously, the baby survives, but her best friend doesn't make it. Now, Eliana is left devastated and burdened with an overwhelming responsibility. Her best friend had no other living family, so the newborn is left in her care. With no stable income, no solid plan for her future, and no experience in motherhood, Eliana is forced to make an impossible choice. The only hope she sees is to track down the baby's father, a man she deeply resents. She knows exactly where to find him. This man, as far as she knows, took advantage of her best friend during one of her lowest moments. The thought of facing him fills her with anger and disgust. But for the baby's sake, she gathers the courage to confront him. Their first meeting is tense. Eliana's heart is heavy with judgment and pain. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into a tangled web of emotion, truth, and healing. Now Eliana must face the most difficult question of all: Can she trust the man she once hated... not just with the child, but with her own heart? P.S: This story is taglish. Hope you like it. 💙🤗Complete

After We Fall
Autumn doesn't talk about what happened last summer. Not at school. Not in therapy. Not even to Kiana, her best friend since forever. Because if she says it out loud - that Kado is gone - it might make it real. Kado was never supposed to leave. He was the boy with the soft smile, the loud laugh, and the heart that always made room for her. From scraped knees on the playground to slow dances and whispered I love yous, they were building something that felt unbreakable. Until it broke. Now, months after his death, Autumn is left sifting through memories that blur the line between first love and last chances. Grief wraps itself around her like fog - heavy, quiet, and everywhere. Therapy feels useless. Her friends feel distant. And the version of herself she used to know feels like a stranger.Complete

The Wrong Kind of Love
Some loves are whispered. Some are hidden. Some can tear a family apart. Maya never meant for it to happen. She was supposed to be Ellie's best friend-the constant, the confidante, the one person Ellie could always trust. But then there was Leo: strong, steady, scarred by loss. A man who should have been untouchable. One glance too long. One laugh that lingered. One moment too close-and the boundaries they swore to protect began to crack. Now, every lie feels heavier. Every silence burns hotter. And as desire grows in the shadows, so does the risk: of betrayal, of heartbreak, of losing everything they thought was unshakable. What begins as a spark becomes a storm. And when the truth finally breaks through, love may not be enough to save them.
