She was never supposed to fall for him.
He was never supposed to look at her that way.
Celestielle only wanted a simple life-classes, friends, and maybe a little peace from her chaotic past. Pero bakit parang lahat ng tahimik na mundo niya ay biglang gumulo nang makilala niya ang isang lalaking kayang guluhin ang mundo niya sa isang tingin pa lang. At kung hindi pa sapat iyon, may isa pang taong handang buksan muli ang mga pintong pilit niyang isinara.
Caught between desire, betrayal, and the weight of secrets that refuse to stay buried, Celeste's heart is now trapped in a dangerous game.
Two men. One heart. A love that could either save her... or break her completely.
But in the end, what if the real question isn't who she chooses... but who truly chooses her?

Falling for the Enemy
Celeste Reyes has always been the quiet, bookish type, content with flying under the radar. But when she's paired up with the school's most arrogant and mysterious guy, Drake Villanueva, for a class project, she quickly realizes that their rivalry might be harder to shake than she thought. Drake is everything Celeste isn't: confident, bold, and always in control. From the moment they are forced into a partnership, the sparks fly-and it's not just because they can't stand each other. Beneath his smug exterior, Drake has a depth she never expected. But is he really the enemy she thought him to be, or is there something else brewing between them? As they navigate their project, emotions run high, and the line between love and hate begins to blur. Unexpected moments of jealousy, accidental close encounters, and hidden emotions push them both to the edge. With each passing day, Celeste finds herself falling-hard-for the one person she never thought she'd be drawn to: the enemy. Will they find a way to work together... or will their growing feelings tear them apart?

Where the Sun Finds Us
🌤️ Where the Sun Finds Us Sometimes, the light you've been chasing... finds you first. In the middle of her midlife crisis, Lei thought the chaotic part of her life was finally over. But sometimes, in the midst of all the noise, that's where new stories begin. One day, she receives an unexpected scholarship to Celestra Republic's most prestigious academy - a school for the nation's brightest minds and top celebrities completing their mandatory academic enlistment. Lei's plan was simple: a fresh start. Quiet. Far from everything that once hurt. But instead of peace, she found five of the country's most famous personalities - each carrying a secret behind their spotlight. A golden-retriever boy with tired eyes. A med student who laughs to hide his guilt. A gentle heir who has everything, except the courage to be real. A composed idol adored by millions but haunted by a past he can't face. And his best friend - someone who somehow feels familiar, even though they've just met. But Lei is different. She's the contrast - the calm to their chaos. She was raised in a home filled with warmth, where love was steady, laughter was constant, and kindness was taught not through words, but through how people treated one another. And that kind of upbringing - she slowly begins to bring it back to the people she meets in Celestra. To those who've forgotten what real happiness feels like. To those who've learned to fake smiles just to survive. Because that's what she was taught - to give the same gentleness she was once given. To be the kind of light that doesn't blind, but heals. And maybe, as she helps them find their own sunshine, Lei will learn how to become the light she's been searching for all along. Because sometimes, you don't have to chase the sun. Sometimes, you just have to be the warmth someone else has been searching for. ✨ A story about kindness passed down, love rediscovered, and how the way we're raised can shape the light we bring into the world.
