Eloise Valmores didn't mean to barge into a stranger's condo and fake an engagement but desperate times call for delulu measures. When her two elite, judgmental titas start closing in to meet the mysterious fiancé she made up during a family reunion, Eloise panics and points to the man who just happened to help her five minutes ago: Raiden Viraeux. Cold. Rich. Unbothered. Unfortunately for her, also not her fiancé. He refuses at first-he's a man of silence and strict schedules, not messy dramas with incense-burning titas and crying girl on his couch.
Now they're stuck in a fake engagement-complete with matching stories, shared groceries, and a couch-bed sleeping arrangement. But as Eloise begins to find safety in his perfectly labeled kitchen, and Raiden learns to live with her snack drawer and chaos aura, pretending becomes harder to separate from feeling. They said it was just an act. They swore it was temporary. But when you start borrowing someone's last name... what happens when you want to keep it?

❝You think I don't remember the last time I touched you?❞ His eyes pinned me where I stood. ❝You think time made me forget? Marry me, Chiara... and I'll remind you of every damn second.❞ New York was supposed to be Chiara Mancini's fresh start. A city loud enough to drown out her past, glamorous enough to match her designer heels, and ruthless enough to keep her quick on her feet. For a while, it worked-until the cracks began to show. Business turned cutthroat, friends became strangers, and the name she carried became more of a curse than a privilege. When the threats from her late father's mafia empire begin to close in, Chiara is forced into a world she thought she'd escaped. And waiting at the center is Ronan Paladino-razor-smart, ruinously handsome, and the one man who vanished without a trace, leaving her with nothing but the memory of a promise. Now he's the only shield between her and the vultures circling her family... on the condition she marry him. In the city that taught her survival, and the country that once taught her love, Chiara will have to decide if some wounds are meant to be healed or sealed in silence with the past they both tried to bury. © All Rights Reserved (victoriapinkglitter) ⚠mature content

The college dreamer who gave up everything the moment she found out she was carrying his child. For Althea, love was worth the risk-until she discovered the truth. The man she chose over her family... the same man she thought she knew inside and out... was still tied to the woman he once called his wife. And worse, she was the one left in the dark-while everyone else knew. Years later, she thought the past was behind them. She thought she could forgive, rebuild, and be whole again for the sake of their child. But history has a cruel way of repeating itself. This time, it wasn't his ex-wife. It was someone new. Someone who reminded her of one painful truth: no matter how much you love, it will never be enough to change someone who chooses to betray you. Now, torn between the family she built and the pieces of herself she keeps losing, Althea must face the hardest question of all- 💔 Is love still worth saving, when it's the same love that keeps breaking you? Love and betrayal, choices and consequences - hanggang saan ang kaya mong patawarin para sa pamilya at sa sarili mo?

[Mature] With such a magnetic attraction, they could afford to wait for their perfect moment. So, when the time is right, Harry and Eloise finally get to embark on something magical together. Navigating their blossoming relationship through tours and a burgeoning new career, the hiatus and new directions, they experience all manner of highs and lows. They'll face revelations and illnesses, break ups and make ups, weddings and anniversaries. But whose? The story starts in September 2016, with the rest of the chapters then telling the unfolding story of their relationship chronologically from January 2015. Please note: This is intended as an exercise in character development and descriptive writing. Any mistakes are my own. Harry features heavily - because he's incredibly charismatic and so talented - but I feel a little out of my comfort zone writing RFC, so will be mindful to be as respectful as possible.

Woven Desires [Completed]
Shannon Dugray and Quincey Mason are like cat and dog. However, there may be something more behind their constant arguing. Shannon has sworn she would never admit it, as he belongs to her best friend, Tiffany, a fact that everyone in their school is aware of. Choosing friendship over love, she decides to focus her attention on Orson, the new student. But, no matter how hard she tries, the only one she is drawn to is the rough, annoying, yet irresistible, Quincey Mason. However, after witnessing Tiffany betray her, Shannon realizes that her dear friend was not worth the sacrfice. Her heart breaks because for Tiffany, she uselessly insulted and pushed away her true love. Can she still turn back to Quincey or is the bridge that once connected the imperfectly perfect couple destroyed forever? _________ BLURB: Lying on the grass, one leg straight, the other folded. Quincey was covering his eyes with his arm. I came closer to him, not as scared as I thought I was going to be because he looked calm, approachable. I crouched next to him and watched as he breathed peacefully. At first I wanted to just leave his phone next to him and go, but it could get stolen if he didn't notice it was there. The best thing to do was to simply give it to him. After boosting myself for a little while, I poked him lightly with my index finger. "Hmm," he growled without moving an inch. "Do I look like someone who wants to be disturbed?" His voice was harsh, almost mean. My heart pounded as I felt my throat squeeze. "Oh...," I whimpered sounding like a crying seal. He removed his arm from his eyes, and looked at me like I was some kind of specter, the last person he expected to see. "Shannon?" Quincey furrowed his brows in disbelief. He sat up so quickly I flinched. I immediately stood up, my legs itching to escape, forgetting why I came to begin with. "Wait," I felt his palm graze my fingers failing to grab me before I ran off.
