They say love is patient. Love waits. Love finds its way back. But what if love never really chose you in the first place?
Akala ko kapag mahal mo, sapat na. Akala ko kapag may hint ng "what if," worth it pa rin ipaglaban. Pero minsan, kahit anong effort mo, kahit gaano mo siya kamahal-wala pa rin. Hindi ikaw ang pipiliin.
This is Amara Loraie Santos' story; of choosing him again and again, until she realized... she was losing herself in the process.
Before she found herself-there was him. An academic achiever, always excelling in school, but when it came to love, she was lost. She knew how to write an essay, and meet everyone's expectations, but love? That was a lesson she could never quite get right.
And just when she was learning to let go, someone else came along; Zephiro Sebastían Mariano. Someone who saw her, chose, and stayed for her.
But he came at the wrong time.
In the wrong season of my life.
Is he the one I've been waiting for, or just another lesson I have to learn the hard way?

Back Then Crush
Lahat naman tayo ay naghahangad ng magandang buhay. A life where we're not just surviving but living. But not everyone gets the chance to live the life they've always wanted. So what if... you were given that chance? But first- you'd have to die. Your current life, gone. And then one day, you just wake up... in a new life that feels strangely perfect. A life you don't remember asking for, but somehow, deep in your heart, you know you've always wished for it. No memories. No way back. You only have this second life now- and all you can do... is live it. But what if, in the middle of this new life... you meet him? A boy whose name makes your heartbeat stutter, whose presence feels too familiar, and whose smile feels like a memory- even if you don't remember ever seeing it before. Now, you're living the life you once cried for. No past, no pain- only unexplained emotions, and a future waiting to be written. In a world that finally feels right... Can you miss someone you've never met? And if fate gave you a second chance- would your heart know where to begin again?
BRIDE OF THE HEARTBREAKER
Story Intro Akala ko simple lang ang buhay ko bilang isang ordinaryong teenager. Hanggang sa isang araw, gumuho ang lahat nang ipatawag ako ng Papa... "You're getting married." At hindi lang basta kasal - kundi arranged marriage sa anak ng business partner niya. Mas malala pa, babae rin siya. At hindi kung sino lang... kundi si Serena Villanueva. The infamous campus heartbreaker. Ang babaeng kilala sa buong school bilang player, babaera, at walang marunong mahalin nang totoo. Para sa akin, siya ang pinaka-huling taong gugustuhin kong makasama habang buhay. Sa umpisa, puro inis, bangayan, at sakit ng ulo ang dala niya. Pero habang tumatagal... unti-unti kong nakikita ang isang side ni Serena na itinatago niya sa lahat - ang pusong marunong ding masaktan, at natatakot magmahal. Sa pagitan ng kasunduan at ng puso, sino ang mananalo? Ako ba na pinilit ipakasal... o siya, na unti-unting natutong tumigil sa laro dahil sa akin? 💔 She's the player everyone warned me about...Complete

Accidentally Acquainted
Sa prestihiyosong Northvale University, kung saan nagtatagpo ang pangarap, sikreto, at intriga, isang simpleng pagkikita ay maaaring magbukas ng pinto sa hindi inaasahang kwento. Si Cael Evric U. Acevedo, 12th grade STEM student-palabiro, witty, at palaging chill-ay may tinatagong lihim: ang paghanga kay Paulo Andrej V. Fernandez, ang college culinary major na halos hindi niya kayang titigan ng diretso. Para kay Cael, safe lang ang paghanga mula sa malayo-walang gulo, walang risk. Pero sa mundo ng Northvale, wala talagang simpleng "encounter." Dahil sa campus events, Student Council, at mga hindi inaasahang pangyayari, lagi silang nadidikit ni Paulo, hanggang sa hindi na maikakaila ang tensyon. At hindi rin mawawala si Maddox Zephyr D.

Sa gitna ng mga intriga, lihim, at kaibigang handang sumuporta-sina Julianna, Penelope, Aurelia, Kyara, at Jazmyn-ang tanong ay nananatili: ito ba ay simpleng pagkakakilala lang, o simula ng isang kwentong matagal nang nakatadhana?Complete
