What if the one person you never forgot... forgot everything about you?
When pediatrician Dr. Ava Ysabelle Tiu returned from London after a life-altering accident, her memories of love vanished-but not forever. Three years before fate would reunite her with Aiah Arceta, Ava began remembering everything: the laughter, the summers in Cebu, and the girl who once made her believe in forever.
Now, Aiah is no longer just the carefree girl from Ava's past-she's a rising idol, a member of the powerhouse girl group BINI, and someone the world is always watching. Ava, on the other hand, is a devoted mother to her late brother's twins, building a quiet life far from the spotlight... all while holding onto a love she remembers but has never been brave enough to face.
Terrified that Aiah might be angry, or worse-unwilling to forgive her for forgetting-Ava chose silence. Until a twist of fate brought them face to face again during a Holy Week vacation. Secrets, longing, and second chances swirl as the two women navigate fame, family, and the fragile thread of a love once lost.
But can a forgotten promise still matter after all these years?
Or will fear, timing, and the eyes of the world keep them apart once more?

Twisted Obsession
The Arceta family carries a chilling curse, a dangerous obsession that turns into madness whenever they fall in love. Aiah is fully aware of this dark legacy, but she convinces herself that she is immune to it. After all, she has a boyfriend, Gelo, and her feelings for him seem normal-nothing compared to the wild, uncontrollable obsession that runs in her family. Until Mikha, a new transfer student and scholar, arrives at Aiah's school. She begins to question everything about herself, wondering if she, too, is doomed to succumb to the madness that has consumed her family for generations. Love or Obsession?
Owned by Her
By day, Aiah Arceta is a fourth-year psychology student-quiet, hardworking, and burdened by the weight of her sick mother and younger brother who depend on her. By night, she becomes someone else entirely: a dancer in a secretive girls-only club where fantasies blur with reality. The club isn't just a stage-it's Mikha Lim's kingdom. She owns it, runs it, and rules it with a velvet fist. Every girl is her girl, every night her empire. But when Aiah steps into her spotlight, Mikha sees more than just another dancer. She sees temptation. She sees danger. She sees someone worth breaking her own rules for. In the neon-lit haze of smoke, music, and skin, desire is a currency, secrets are the price, and love? Love is the most dangerous gamble of all. A story of forbidden hunger, possession, and the kind of love that tastes like sin-this is not just about dancing. It's about who you become when the world finally looks at you in the dark.
MIKHAIAH- If there was an US
Aiah thought she was just flying to Manila for a simple summer vacation-a short break from her quiet life in the province. She packed light, expecting sunny days, malls, and maybe a few trips to the beach. But nothing could've prepared her for the truth waiting at the other end of the plane ride. Her parents had quietly separated, and her mother, without warning, had decided to move to Manila permanently. Suddenly, what was supposed to be a getaway turned into a reluctant new beginning. As Aiah struggles to adjust to the chaos of the city and the heaviness of her family's silence, she meets Mikha-a girl who couldn't be more different from her. Mikha is wild-spirited, effortlessly cool, and unapologetically herself. She shows up to school in oversized vintage band tees layered over fishnet sleeves, loose cargo jeans with safety pins and patches, and worn-out platform sneakers. But what stands out most is her hair-dyed a vivid, unapologetic red that glows in the sunlight like a warning and a promise. It suits her: loud, fierce, impossible to ignore. Her eyes have that tired-but-alive look, like she hasn't slept in days but somehow still finds energy in music and midnight walks. She's the lead guitarist of a local indie band that plays in smoky cafés and rooftop hangouts, and she always carries her scratched-up guitar case like an extra limb. With a sideways smirk and a spark of chaos in her step, Mikha pulls Aiah into a world that's loud, messy, and strangely comforting. Their connection is instant-electric in a way Aiah can't explain. What starts as an unlikely friendship slowly blurs into something deeper, more tangled. As they navigate heartbreak, healing, and the parts of themselves they've never fully shown anyone, Aiah starts to wonder if meeting Mikha wasn't just chance-but destiny, in its most unexpected form.Complete![HAUNTED | MARAIAH QUEEN ARCETA x OC (F) [ON HOLD]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/393748209-256-k264029.jpg)
