Alaric Suarez doesn't believe in second chances-especially not in love. Gruff, guarded, and devoted to his daughter, he's built his life around engines, speed, and silence.
Emillienne Sy believes in chasing dreams, even when they don't make sense. Fresh out of university and full of wonder, she's looking for direction, and maybe a little magic along the way.
When fate throws them into the same orbit, sparks fly-some from frustration, others from something neither of them is ready to name. But life has a way of rerouting even the most stubborn hearts.
And in the spaces between oil stains and brushstrokes, they just might discover that love, like the road, is worth the risk.

Connections: Stories
From a simple conversation happening between two Filipina astronauts, to an individual confessing his true feelings to the person he loves, to a failed missing person's investigation and the lover searching for his whereabouts in the Philippines, to a story about the woeful memories surrounding a rabbit plushie in the United Kingdom; a conversation happening between people at night with a campfire, about spirits and passion, in Norway; to a dying animal's thoughts about the person that saved it, to the letters given to the person that matters to one's life, to a man trapped in a cursed town and more. These 30 stories compiled in the months of August 2023 - February 2024, made in handwritten yellow pad papers and shared to the world for the first time shows that there are ways we find to connect with others through the stories we tell to one another. Stories dealing with the loss of a loved one, the horrors of reality, about the challenges faced in life, a longing for the person we loved, the laughter shared in-between, the hopes we treasure for tomorrow and beyond and of the little interactions that happen in life. It is through the attachments, love, support, consistency, determination and dreams do we find the will to push through and accomplish what needs to be done that is set out for us to tackle. Goals and art; sacrifices made and understood; and the belief that chasing the dream is all worth it and that it helps us connect and inspire us to do what matters the most.

And somewhere between them stood a man who had built an empire in the shadows, carrying his own darkness while becoming the light in hers. Isha Kapoor had spent years running from a life that had only ever taught her pain. She believed she knew who she was, where she came from, and why she had been left with nothing but scars.

Love me Like I'm Yours
He said this was temporary. But fate had other plans. When Ianna Ysabelle Mercado moves into a condo unit to start fresh after graduation, the last thing she expects is a mix-up in her living situation...and definitely not with him. Leonel Kieran Navarro. Quiet, intense, and everything she swore she'd never fall for. He's cold, closed off, and makes it clear he doesn't want her around. But beneath the expensive suits and sharp glares, there's something else...something that draws her in. As days turn into nights, and boundaries start to blur, Ianna finds herself caught in a quiet storm of stolen glances, unsaid words, and emotions too big to name. But the deeper they fall, the heavier their secrets become. This isn't the kind of love story you plan. It's the kind that changes everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

See You Above The Clouds (Shared Sky Series 1)
[ongoing] For me, love is flying with broken wings, still hoping to catch someone you love above the clouds, even when they're beyond your reach. I am Valeen Eliesha I. Alcaraz, the kind of girl who doesn't wait around for life to hand me the things I want. It's not that I don't feel fear, rejection, or judgment. I do. But instead of letting them paralyze me, I let them fuel me. Giann Axel A. Fuerte, the boy who made love feel less like a war and more like coming home. With him, I felt seen, heard, and safe. He gave me the kind of attention I didn't know I was starving for. But life doesn't always stay soft for people who love too hard, does it? "Valeen, you have to stop this." Raven's words cracked a little. "Loving him was never going to be enough to give him a second chance.. at a life he never even wanted to fight for." Those words haunted me more than I'd like to admit. How will you fight a war when the person you're fighting for has already laid down their weapons? Ang sama ng tadhana para muling bigyan ng pagkakataon ang taong minahal ko, pero hindi ang pagkakataon para mahalin ako.
