Awards, medals, certificates, recognitions, and many more are the only things Liezel Rayos wants in her life. Second place is not enough for her because being first in everything is her goal. Well of course in life, there will always be circumstances that will bring her down.
Since elementary school, she's been dealing with this guy, her classmate. They are always in one section. They always share the same goal to reach the top. She became happy when he knew that this guy would be transferring out. Liezel can take that advantage.
She thought that this will continue when she graduates, not until he bumped again to this man, Don Ceasar Caparas, ready to ruin his plans again. Why does life always give her conflicts? Will she still reach the top knowing that the person who will be a barricade to her plans is the one she falls in love with?
Please Read:
This is a newly rewritten version of the story "Reach the Top." As much as I wanted to continue from where I left off in the previous version, it became quite complicated. A year has passed since I last worked on it, and I've lost track of the character names, scenes, and other important details. So, I decided to start again and rewrite the story in a better way. Some scenes have been replaced or removed, and several character names have undergone minor or major changes. Please take note of these adjustments. However, the overall storyline remains the same.
I've decided not to continue the old version of the story anymore. From now on, all updates will come from this new version moving forward. Thanks for your understanding! It means a lot to me.

"Life is not always light and happy. Sometimes, it's full of pain, tears, and defeats."
I had a family full of joy parents and grandparents who gave love and guidance. A life without fear and full of hope. But one day, all of that disappeared. I was left alone when my grandparents passed away, and my parents abandoned me it's like everyone and everything I held dear was suddenly ripped away from me.
It's hard to be alone, to be the only one who can strengthen yourself. I work hard, trying to hold on to my dreams, striving to finish my education. But I never expected that my path would cross with Ancel's again the person I had long avoided. The one who caused the wounds in my heart, which even now, I don't know how to heal.
Sometimes, I wonder why did he come back?
But every time we meet, I can't help but ask myself why was I left behind in all of this? Full of questions, and I don't know if there are any answers left.
