In a family where love is a silent act of sacrifice, Peristeria Laurei Valencia, an AB Mass Communication student, has spent her life giving. Conditioned to always put others first, especially with a sister battling cardiomyopathy, Persiteria understands only selflessness.
But then a night of celebration turns into something more, when she meets Gilead Kohei Rianzarez an BS Business Administration student and the heir to the Rianzarez Conglomerate, from then on, their evidently contrasting worlds begin to intertwine.
Yet, a love spanning between both ends is on the brink of peril. Peristeria must battle her deeply ingrained belief that she's unworthy of being chosen, learning to embrace love without the burden of guilt. Meanwhile, Gilead faces the consequential decision of risking his esteemed name, public image, and the weight of his family's legacy for a girl who never dreamed she deserved such devotion.
Will they find a way to defy everything, against all odds?

See You Above The Clouds (Shared Sky Series 1)
[ongoing] For me, love is flying with broken wings, still hoping to catch someone you love above the clouds, even when they're beyond your reach. I am Valeen Eliesha I. Alcaraz, the kind of girl who doesn't wait around for life to hand me the things I want. It's not that I don't feel fear, rejection, or judgment. I do. But instead of letting them paralyze me, I let them fuel me. Giann Axel A. Fuerte, the boy who made love feel less like a war and more like coming home. With him, I felt seen, heard, and safe. He gave me the kind of attention I didn't know I was starving for. But life doesn't always stay soft for people who love too hard, does it? "Valeen, you have to stop this." Raven's words cracked a little. "Loving him was never going to be enough to give him a second chance.. at a life he never even wanted to fight for." Those words haunted me more than I'd like to admit. How will you fight a war when the person you're fighting for has already laid down their weapons? Ang sama ng tadhana para muling bigyan ng pagkakataon ang taong minahal ko, pero hindi ang pagkakataon para mahalin ako.![Good Luck, Babe!

Good Luck, Babe! [Macolet AU]
A Macolet AU wherein Maloi is in love with her best friend, Colet. Colet, on the other hand, is in denial of the fact that she's having feelings for the other latter. One confession. One rejection. With emotions simmering beneath the surface, the story unfolds against the backdrop of friendship, longing, and the complexities of unspoken desires. "You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling, Loi." "I know. Hindi ako tanga." "Well, tanga ka for falling sa kaibigan mo." - Please do remember that this story is purely fictional, expect for typographical errors and grammatical errors, also ignore the timestamps. Thank you.

Being the Cheer-Captain of her squad with a stiff attitude, she sure knew how to chase them off without trying. No doubt, she was the prettiest amongst her mate, and besides her two best friends, Bridget and Elena, Amanda was considered the meanest of her friends, and finding love proved more difficult for her. But was that the case? She doubted as she began to find letters, love letters, hidden inside her locker. Creepy or romantic? Amanda was set on finding the boy behind the letters. Watching her from the far end of the hallway was the one behind the letters, observing every single detail but, could she see him? _________________________________________ Teen fiction winner at #book worm monthly award (June) - - - - - 25/6/2020 3rd place in the NOBLE AWARD 2020 - - - - - 14/7/2020 2nd place in the HEATHER AWARD 2020 - - - - - 11/11/2020 3rd place in the PURPLE AWARD 2021 - - - - - - - 24/1/2021 _________________________________________ 👉*********👈 _______________ Started ~~~~~ April, 25, 2020 _________________________________________ Finished ~~~~~ June, 18, 2020Complete
Maze
(CURRENTLY REVAMPED!) (The Slices of Life, #1) For years, one thing that had always bothered Serena Wilton is the idea of reconciling with a past friend. Whenever he was around, her eyes rested upon him; whether it was at classes or outside of school. She yearned for those wonderful memories again, but the looming fear just wouldn't let her initiate the conversation. Serena clearly remembered how their paths crossed in that one field trip, and the instant click as they interacted. He was nothing but a sunny friend with such contagious confidence... until that accident. Not only did he turn into someone Serena never recognized, but the relationship they built together, soured and crumbled apart. Even so, perhaps her plans can actually work if she's willing to push that stupid anxiety away and speak a word or two. Piece of cake, right? Rating: R+15 *** Updates: Irregular This book contains anime/manga illustrations (all drawn by me, unless stated otherwise) and sensitive topics such as depression and grief. 🎖- YARomance - Semesters of Love 🎖- Official Anime Profile - Light Novel 🎖- Official Teen Fiction Profile - Soul Deep 🥈- Undiscovered Writers Awards: Light Novel 🥈- Spotlight Awards: Teen Fiction

The Aimless Archer
Rishi never meant to fall in love-not with him, anyway. All she wanted was a taste of freedom. Moritz wasn't aiming either. Bratty, stubborn, always ready to argue-she was a walking headache he was asked to look after. Their banter became friendship. Their friendship became something they couldn't name. Until everything fell apart. She had secrets. He felt betrayed. And when it ended, they became polite, distant strangers who once almost had something real. But love, as they've learned, doesn't care for pride, timing, or unspoken truths. And sometimes, the arrow that missed the first time still knows exactly where to land.Complete
