Hiraya Dela Paz was once the Philippines' golden girl-a beloved actress with the world at her feet and a rising career alongside her leading man, Stello Reyes. But fame came at a cost. Leaving the spotlight behind, Hiraya chose a different path: medicine. Now in New York City, she's focused on becoming a doctor, far from the noise of stardom and the memory of the boy she once loved-on screen and maybe off.
Stello Reyes, now an A-list actor on the brink of his international debut, arrives in New York for a major film shoot. The city feels unfamiliar-until an accident on set sends him to the ER, where he locks eyes with the last person he ever expected to see.
In a city of millions, fate brings them back together. But time, distance, and choices have changed them both. Will old wounds reopen, or will New York give them a second chance-not just at love, but at the lives they thought they'd left behind?
(Original work, inspired by Kisses Delavin and Donny Pangilinan. DO NOT STEAL)

Little did he know how much his life would change in that exact time frame. - "I hate you," I gritted my teeth, a tear daring to slip out.

My heart thudded loudly in my chest as he brought his face closer to mine with a proud smirk playing out on his lips. The room was dark but I could still see the outline of his face, his eyes, his lips. Fuck. His alluring cologne graced my senses, but clouded my brain as he inched closer to me.

Echoes of a Love Unseen
What ifs lead you into confusion. "What if hindi ko siya nagustuhan?" "What if hindi umabot sa ganon? Will it stay the same?" "What if hindi mag-work?" These are the thoughts that constantly echo in the mind of Nayeli Seraphine Lucero. She often finds herself overthinking, fully aware that it's hurting her. A passionate dancer, Nayeli shares her talent to make others proud. She's a person who stays true to her words, but when it comes to emotions-she becomes lost. She has endured countless emotional burdens, silently carrying the pain. Even when it hurts, she chooses to understand-because for her, that's her role: to understand. She knows how to love deeply and genuinely, even when she doesn't receive the love she deserves in return. Meanwhile, Gideon Maddox Ueno, a well-known campus photographer admired by many, is often misunderstood. People think he always has it together, which only adds to the pressure he feels. They believe he's the favorite-but in truth, he often feels like the least noticed. He pays attention to everyone around him, yet he struggles to understand himself. Gideon was once very close to Nayi-always there to listen and be her safe space. But at some point, he broke that connection. The confusion he felt was passed on to her, causing miscommunication and leading to misunderstanding. Will Nayeli's love for Gideon ever be seen and understood by him? Or will the echoes of her love remain unheard and unseen?

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. πππππππ/πππππππ ππππππ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reservedComplete
