Neck

Limang taon na ang nakalipas mula nang umamin si Elara Cruz sa crush niya... pero ang kapalit ay isang masakit na rejection - sinabi nitong "hindi siya type." Simula noon, tinago niya ang sarili sa likod ng karton, ayaw nang makita ang sarili niyang mukha. Ngayon, Grade 12 na siya at napilitan bumalik sa school dahil kina Papa at kuya. Pero gaya ng dati, hindi pa rin mabait ang mundo - lalo na nang maging paborito siyang asarin ng campus bad boy na si Raven Torres. Pero isang araw, aksidenteng nakita ni Raven ang mukha sa likod ng karton... at doon nagsimula ang pagbabago. Dahil ang babaeng tinatago ng karton - siya pala ang matagal nang nagpapabilis ng tibok ng puso niya. Isang slowburn story ng sakit, tawa, at pag-ibig - kung saan ang tunay na ganda, hindi lang nakikita... kundi nararamdaman.

Saint doesn't do love. He doesn't do trust. But Ivory... she makes him want everything he's afraid to have. Every look. Every touch. Every word. It pulls them closer-and ignites something dangerous. Can he fight his past, or will desire-and fear-consume them both before they get a chance?

𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to. But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers. The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him. But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill. ꨄ -#1 in #billionare - 22/08/23 -#3 in #storytelling -14/11/23 -#1 in #girlboss - 06/11/23 -#1 in #stalker - 08/11/23 -#5 in #daddyissues - 21/02/24 -#5 in #arrangedmarriage - 04/07/24

He wasn't heartless. Just... unconvinced. Of love. Of women. Of promises that sound too pretty to be true. She wasn't broken. Just quietly aching. To be seen. To be wanted for who she is, not who she's expected to be. He inherited empires. She inherited emptiness. And when fate ties them together, love doesn't enter gently- It cracks the walls, shakes the ground, and demands to be felt. Loving Through Your Darkness Two hearts. One lie. And a love story neither of them believed they deserved.
