The night I turned eighteen was the night I stopped believing in birthdays... in happiness... in myself."
Celine Rodriguez used to dream about her debut-sparkling lights, laughter, a slow dance with her dad, and a speech from her kuya Cecilion. But those dreams turned into a nightmare that stole more than just her smile.
John, the boyfriend she thought she loved, turned into a monster that night. And in their desperate attempt to save her, her father and brother lost their lives. Since then, guilt wrapped itself around Celine's heart like a cage. She smiled less, laughed never, and believed happiness was a punishment she didn't deserve.
Then came him.
Troy Roque.
Handsome .Moreno. Mysterious. The kind of smart that could shut a room up with one sentence. He wasn't supposed to mean anything. Just another quiet face in a world she tried to keep at arm's length.
But something about him called to her. His silences mirrored her own. His eyes held secrets-wounds he never talked about. And when he looked at her... it was as if he saw every broken part and didn't flinch.
Celine swore she'd never fall again. Never trust. Never love.
But Troy? He wasn't asking her to be whole. He was just asking her to let him stay...

"Are you done princess?" He asked in his dark gravely tone. Dammit if he doesn't stop with this princess thing I think I may fall in love. "Yes, now what the fuck was that for?"

Collide✔️
Highest ranking #1 in utopia -•- "It's about how your hips move," the hand that sits on my waist finds my hip, his fingertips trailing lightly along the fabric of my skirt. "When you arch your spine," he continues on, letting that same hand migrate, his fingertips resting against that central dip of my back before running upwards with the most gentle firmness. I crane away from the touch which leaves sparking heat in its wake, only forcing me further into his chest. "It's about sexual euphoria." His travelling hand finds my neck, cupping it lightly. "What are you doing?" I ask him, hardly coherent. He leans down, once more letting his warm breath fan over the shell of my ear. "Making a move." He tells me plainly. My breath, in response, catches. "You are awfully bold." I find myself saying. "You don't get anywhere without confidence Allora." -•- Allora has known nothing but wealth and good fortune. Born into high levels, she's surrounded with maids and butlers, with expensive clothes and jewellery. Her world is one she enjoys. That is, until she meets a boy. An insatiable flirt with a charming smile and brazen attitude. Then, worlds collide. -•- Undergoing slow grammatical editing Some mature language and themes Sickly sweet & tragic (you've been warned)Complete

The Girl Who Walked Away
Prologue In the world of college life, words are often thrown around like confetti-light, colorful, and sometimes lacking substance. They say things to fill the silence, to create connections, and to express feelings that often remain hidden beneath the surface. But what happens when those words fall flat? When the promises made in fleeting moments fade into echoes of unfulfilled intentions? This is a story about the complexities of communication and the silent battles fought within relationships. It began with a simple smile exchanged in the midst of chaos during National Pharmacy Week-a moment that seemed inconsequential yet held the weight of possibilities. She found herself drawn to him, captivated by the way he spoke, the way he made her feel. But as she discovered, words alone would not be enough to bridge the gap between us. As their paths intertwined, we danced around each other in a series of unsaid feelings, lingering glances, and an unspoken connection that left her yearning for more. But with every promise unkept, the reality became clearer: words are just that-words. They mean little without the actions to back them up. This is the story of Elle's journey through that realization, a tale of fleeting moments, unfulfilled expectations, and ultimately, the power of choosing clarity over confusion. It's about learning that love is not just spoken; it's demonstrated. And in the end, it was a lesson that would change everything she thought she knew about relationships and herself.Complete
