Certainty in the Uncertain

Gaze Of An Alonzo Series #1

When you put two people in a miserable state in one room together, what do you expect? Some say there's nothing that comes good from it, but what if two people whose life is full of uncertainty met?

Elijah Sofia G. Alonzo has always been at the top of her class since elementary. Since her heart weighs heavily at the pressure of what her family's achievement in different fields brings. People that surround her are expecting her to be a doctor, lawyer, celebrity, or something highly recognizable.

She must be exceptional, or be nothing at all. Her path is meticulously planned, until a curveball named Alessandro Enrico Sarmenta slams into her life. Elijah can't fathom the fact that she's falling second behind a man who knows nothing but play basketball! A varsity player of their school whose time is eaten by games is at the top. Effortlessly!

It was game on, rivalry rose dramatically between the two. For Elijah, it was serious. But for Rico, it was a silly game where he finds pleasure in her frustration. Yet, as the lines blur between competition and undeniable chemistry, their battleground transforms into a haven. In each other's quiet presence, amidst the deafening noise of their demanding lives, they discover a peace they never thought possible.

But what if the very foundation of that peace shatters? What if the future they meticulously built together crumbles, revealing that what they thought was their sanctuary was nothing but a fever dream, shattering any certainty in the uncertain?
