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?

A law student from Ateneo with a soft spot for sad songs, street food, and boys who can sing with their eyes closed. So when she accidentally meets Eroshi Kaizen Villarín - the half-Japanese, half-Filipino music prodigy with too many fans and just the right amount of mystery - it's game over for her fangirl heart.

Sometimes they hurt. Sometimes they stay. And sometimes, the one who saves you from the heartbreak... has been right beside you all along. ⚠ Warning: May contain: ✓ Emotional whiplash ✓ Loud barkadas ✓ Unexpected slow burn ✓ Sad girl energy and iced coffee dependency ✓ And one (1) girl realizing love doesn't always come from who you think it will 💔 LigayaSeries Book #5Complete

The Billion Dollar Dream (TKBT-3)
"Famiglia vuol dire tutto ~ Family means everything." The Knight Brothers had been brought up with that phrase since they were a little bambino. This series consists of the brothers whose one action would change the course of their life. 3. The Billion Dollar Dream. ****** Aaron Diego Knight-the thirdborn and the black sheep of the Knight family-believes family is built on love, not obligation.

In a world of violence, guns, and shadows, he remains the abnormal-the one who dares to feel, to hope, and to love. And love he did...for the girl who wasn't just a dream lost, but a second chance found. She is his redemption. His reason to believe in dreams again. Emma Lily Rose-a name as graceful as her pirouettes. The golden girl of ballet, the radiant soul who lit up every room. Her future was destined for the stage, her smile once brighter than the sun. But that light dimmed. The sparkle in her eyes dulled. Where warmth once bloomed, only cold bitterness remains. Once a sweet, wide-eyed dreamer, now a wounded young woman-broken by love, scarred by the boy who stole her heart. Bound by a tragedy that changed everything, can they find their way back to the dreams they once held? Or are they doomed to live with only the shattered dreams of what could've been?
