A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1
If you're given a chance to live once more, will you take it? Even if... it comes at a cost? A dying woman reminisces on her short life and comes to regret not doing the things she likes - always sacrificing her own happiness for her family. On her deathbed, she whispers her wishes to a friend. "If only I could go back in time, I'll make sure to live my life for my sake and not somebody else's." Little did she know that her impossible wish would come true with the help of a mysterious woman. And in her second chance at life, she meets a certain problematic person... "Kaiden Ma" - a young and handsome genius who is also the richest heir in the East - has a little problem. One - he is way too grumpy; and two - he is mysophobic. With his family pushing him in a relationship, the problem escalated. For how can he possibly be in a relationship if he can't even touch anyone? Due to this, he is forced to look for a suitable "pretend" partner. "Senara Lee. I'd like to offer you a deal." "Hm? A deal? What deal?" "I need a fake girlfriend and you're the only one who's trustworthy enough to assume the position. Be my girlfriend for a year and I'll make one of your books into a movie." "For real?! You bet I'm in! Anything for my babies!" (babies - she's referring to her books, yes, she calls them her babies). And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game begins. Well, at least until the "Guardians of Fate" comes in. What will they do with this romance that wasn't supposed to be? And what is the cost of this new life she was given? 🌸 𝘼 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 🌸 ✅ A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 1 🟨 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 2 🟥 A Beautiful Catastrophe - Book 3 - 4Complete

Justice is a Filipino Dish (2025) SCRIPT
In a house of power, privilege, and tradition... one party breaks the rules. A boy goes missing. A girl holds a secret. And whispers of the Unchaperoned Killers begin to rise. This is not the world your parents warned you about- this is the one they built. From the classic by Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero comes with a chilling reimagining: Justice is a Filipino Dish Some rules protect you. Others are used to silence you. In a nation rattled by scandal, silence, and sudden disappearances, the Gapoquez family clings to power, tradition, and appearances. But when a lavish party ends with a missing boy and whispers of a shadowy group known only as the Unchaperoned Killers, the walls of their elegant home begin to close in. As secrets surface and tensions rise, what begins as a simple family dispute transforms into a chilling race against time. In a world where power can't protect you and morality wears a mask, who's really watching, and who will make it out alive? Do you want to be heard? Do you want them to listen?Complete

Never forget what runs through a Nystrom's veins. Unfortunately no one ever warned them what would happen if one fell in love with the other. 𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐎-𝐍𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐌 wears indifference so convincingly that no one notices she's been falling apart for years. She keeps everyone at arm's length, convinced that love only ends in loss and that the safest place for the people she loves is somewhere far away from her. 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎 T̶H̶O̶R̶N̶B̶R̶I̶D̶G̶E̶ 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄, the man the underworld calls the Abomination, has built his reputation on brutality. They see the blood, the power, the monster. They don't see the boy still grieving, or the man whose greatest weakness has always been the same girl he's spent a lifetime trying to protect. Even if he's not good enough for her, he'll have her anyway. They're either each other's salvation, or the start to another war. 𓆩♡𓆪 Started: August 2024 Finished: TBA

Behind the neon glow of Southeast Asia lies a secret empire built on beauty, obedience, and silence. Dreamette, the world's most mysterious idol brand, hides its darkest truths behind masks, myth making, and vanished girls. Across seven books, the Dreamette Saga follows the people who refuse to look away, a dying man chasing redemption, a woman determined to rewrite her fate, a group of teens dragged into a nightmare through the glowing screen of the internet, and the survivors who rise to become rebels, mothers, fugitives, and warriors. From alleyways in Manila to the deepest corners of the web, from hidden backrooms to full-scale uprisings, their stories collide in a battle between humanity and the machinery that feeds on it. As Dreamette rises and falls, one truth remains: The scariest monsters are not the ones who wear masks, but the ones who pay to keep them on.Complete
