Klarisse De Guzman, a self-made singer hailed as the Philippines' Soul Diva, stands at the peak of her fame while quietly carrying the weight of parenting her siblings--her chaotic yet fiercely loyal Pamilya De Guzman. Orphaned young, Klarisse became their legal guardian at just 18, embracing the role not out of obligation, but out of love. Despite adoration from millions, she battles private insecurities and has never experienced romantic love.
Brent Manalo, the arrogant heir to the company in which Klarisse works at, is forced to become her bodyguard after reckless behavior abroad. Dismissive of her relevance and fame, he sees her as an artist on the brink of fading, given her age--until her resilience, warmth, and home-grown family begin to challenge everything he thought he knew.
Klarisse's longtime stylist and confidant, Trina Rey, is openly bisexual, emotionally intuitive, and deeply loyal. She's Klarisse's quiet constant--always present, always gentle--but never crossing the line. Though proud of her identity, Trina still navigates a world that defaults to heterosexual expectations. She hides her feelings behind soft gestures and subtle hints, convinced that Klarisse, who has never been in a relationship and speaks of love in traditionally straight terms, wouldn't see her that way. Her love is patient, protective, and quietly aching, shaped by respect, fear of rejection, and the silent weight of heteronormativity.
As Brent and Trina hover closer, a quiet rivalry brews: one bold and impulsive, the other soft and unwavering. Klarisse, oblivious to both, finds herself torn between passion, comfort, and the terrifying possibility that love has been reaching for her all along.

Dead, Girl
She ventured to Manila to understand minds, yet her own was already in disarray. Buried tweets, half-deleted group chats, and a past name whispered behind bathroom stalls-she thought she had left it all behind. But when anonymous messages start hitting too close to home, and someone references the mole behind her ear that never made it to social media, the past doesn't just knock. It breaks in. What starts as casual paranoia evolves into a deliberate act of defiance. Skipping classes, adopting a persona she once thought was buried, and scouring confession pages at midnight for evidence that she still exists in someone's narrative. This isn't about a boy, a breakup, or a bad grade. It's about seizing control. And she's weary of pretending to be fine. Now, she's rewriting the narrative-with silver earrings, locked phones, and dirty secrets as armor. This isn't healing. This is hunger. And if the watchers want a show, she'll give them something they won't forget. A psychological coming-of-age tale told in fragments, confessions, and emotional whiplash. Manila isn't ready for her-but she's prepared to burn the whole city down.

Echoes of Us
"She was the silence I craved. I was the chaos she never expected." Rachelle Azrielle De Leon was the type who lived in shadows-quiet, composed, and always a step away from everyone else. With eyes always fixed on her books, she kept her world tightly locked, hiding scars from a broken family and the insecurities she couldn't name aloud. Smart, secretive, and painfully self-aware-she made sure no one got too close. Then came Seraphina Marceline Clemente-fiery, athletic, and effortlessly magnetic. She lived like life was one big game, and she played to win. Loud laughter, confident strides, and a smile that could make even the coldest day feel like summer-Seraphina wasn't just the sunshine; she was the whole damn sky. When they became classmates, they were nothing more than opposites forced to share the same space. No sparks. No tension. Just passing glances-two lives on parallel lines. But love? Love has a habit of slipping in when you're not looking. And three months into the school year, their lines finally crossed-for real. And once they did, neither of them could pretend they hadn't noticed. Disclaimer & Credits This story is a work of fiction published on Wattpad.
