Hiraeth Series #1

Gia Colleen Dela Vegas, a burnt-out Manila girl exiled to the quiet mountains of Sagada after a string of reckless choices. Expecting boredom, she finds something worse. Silence. No parties. No noise. Just trees, fog, and far too much time to think.

But as days pass, Colleen is pulled into the quiet rhythms of the town, the warmth of community work, and the slow revealing of old wounds. Hers, and those she didn't know belonged to her family. Haunted by memories, guarded by guilt, and shadowed by a boy named Sebastian Salem Mendoza who seems to know more than he says, Colleen starts to realize that maybe this escape wasn't punishment. Maybe it was a beginning.

A story about grief, growth, and the love that lingers in silence, Underneath the Surface asks: who are you, when there's no one left to perform for?

Her forgotten childhood could reveal that she is more involved in Enzo's dangerous world than she ever imagined. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ Trigger warning: This book contains graphic violence, gore, murder, sexual themes, physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, dark narrative, self-harm, and psychological trauma. Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them! Goals: ✔️ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter) ✔️ Dabble in psychological themes ✔️ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre ✔️ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P) ✔️ Finish my first novel

A Wind of Memories

I just wanna think thoroughly and rest my mind afterwards. At some point, I wished I could escape my problems. Be on another world. But I waved that thought away quickly. It's impossible. However, when I woke up, I feel like I forgot something. Someone. That left behind. And confused why the hell am I running out of breath. A vague dream for my tedious typical day. A dream that I can't remember but felt. Like the harsh wind that's embracing me. So refreshing. But so fast. Na ang panaginip kong iyon, parang malakas na hangin. Ramdam na ramdam pero agad na nakalimutan, at hahanap-hanapin. Tinangay na at hindi na makita pa. Like that memories. This will be written in taglish. (TAGALOG/FILIPINO-ENGLISH) Date started: 230712 Date completed:230820 (Under revision). Cover is made with Desygner.
