In her past life, Autumn James devoted herself tirelessly to her seniors and her so-called "brother," always putting their needs above her own.
Little junior had a stomach problem? She brought him breakfast every day.
Senior short on cash? She became his tutor just to get money into his hands.
Her proud older brother? She handed over her father's membership cards and allowances without a second thought.
But despite all her efforts... thanks to Anna Hawthorne' schemes, Autumn ended up betrayed and murdered.
Now, reborn, Autumn has a new outlook.
Stomach problems? Not her problem anymore.
Short on money? Too bad.
Prideful brother? Public humiliation feels just right.
Autumn thought reclaiming her life would be smooth sailing.
But who would have guessed... her previously background-less fiancé suddenly appears?
Everyone wants her to give him to Anna Hawthorne.
Autumn just smirks-and sets her sights on the mysterious, stoic, impossibly handsome tutor who has captured her heart.
When the day comes that she heads home with him, she finds her angry fiancé-now calling her "little aunt" in frustration-blocking her way.
Before she can escape, he pulls her close, pressing her against the wall with a possessive intensity:
"Where do you think you're going, darling?"

Reborn in the hands of Mr. Billionaire.
In her previous life, she trusted the wrong people, treated foes like friends, cut all ties with her family, and abandoned the one man who loved her more than anyone in this world, all for a cheap, poor, sorry excuse of a man whom she mistakenly took as a treasure. What was the result? She lost her inheritance, her family, got cheated on by that man with her best friend, and finally died a miserable death at the hands of her then fiance with her best friend. At the last moments of her life, she saw the only man who loved her, a man she had grown to hate, rush to her like a madman. She heard him scream in agony as her body lay lifeless in his arms, her mind reeling from the last moments of her life. Maybe the heavens took pity on her, or her unwillingness was just too great to resist that she found herself back to the day it all started, back to when she was eighteen. This time, though, she wouldn't make the same mistakes, nor would she allow herself to die so unjustly. This time, she would make them pay. The pain she felt in the previous life, they'd feel it a million times more. On top of that, she was determined to cling to a certain big boss and shower him with all the affection he deserved.Concluida
Bound To Love You
"You came into my life out of nowhere, Eliana, like a storm I never saw coming, and turned everything upside down. You stirred feelings in me I didn't even know I had.

The only hope she sees is to track down the baby's father, a man she deeply resents. She knows exactly where to find him. This man, as far as she knows, took advantage of her best friend during one of her lowest moments. The thought of facing him fills her with anger and disgust. But for the baby's sake, she gathers the courage to confront him. Their first meeting is tense. Eliana's heart is heavy with judgment and pain. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into a tangled web of emotion, truth, and healing. Now Eliana must face the most difficult question of all: Can she trust the man she once hated... not just with the child, but with her own heart? P.S: This story is taglish.

SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
Chasing Autumn (EDITING)
Asher grits his teeth, clearly getting cornered. "Autumn, you're making a scene over nothing. Just stop this already!" "Nothing. Nothing." She echoes, laughing bitterly. "You call cheating nothing." "I'm not cheating!" he pushes Autumn away, not roughly, but enough for her to react. She looks at him with hurt, anger, pain, and everything combined. She instantly sides next to me, her fists clenched at her sides and eyes watering. My heart pounds in my chest as I stand next to her protectively. I will do anything for her, even if it means leaving this place to drop her off right now. She looks away, tears threatening to fall. "We're over, Asher. Don't come back crying." --------------------------------------------------- Autumn Meyers has never aspired to love. Growing up, she's only ever known one boy - her best friend, Milo. The boy next door and her loyal supporter. She's never taken an interest in him, or, frankly, anyone. But that all changes when she meets the new boy. He is everything she isn't - hot, charming, and most of all, flirty. Soon, she falls for both boys who like her, leaving her questioning where her loyalties lie. She has to choose eventually. It has to be soon. To satisfy one heart means to break another. Who will she choose?
