In Your Orbit
Five years. That's how long a contract signed by our families binds us. One house. Separate bedrooms. No love story. I'm Mio, the quiet girl with a heart full of unsaid feelings. She is Rei, cold as snow, untouchable, and already in love with someone else. But to the world, we are wives, sharing vows written for a future that was never ours. She calls me her wife in public, but in private, I'm just a stranger who cooks her breakfast. Still, I stay. Still, I orbit her like a lonely moon caught in a one-sided gravity. I love her in silence, in stolen glances, in moments she'll never remember. And she... she keeps her distance. Always so close, but never mine. How long can a heart wait in orbit before it crashes? How do you let go of someone you were never really holding? This is a story of longing, heartbreak, and a love that aches quietly. Because sometimes, the deepest kind of love is the one that's never returned.Complete

Taming the Sparks | Guontiveros AU
"The book cost me three thousand pesos- how much will you cost me?" Risa Hontiveros, a sharp-tongued and cold-hearted senator, never loses-especially not over something as trivial as a book. But when a cheerful and cunning woman, Alice Guo, tricks her out of ₱3,000 and dashes away with her own copy, Risa swears she'll get even. Their paths cross again when Alice unknowingly applies to be Risa's secretary. Now under her roof, Risa has every chance to settle the score. But Alice's warmth chips away at Risa's defenses, turning their workplace into a battlefield of teasing, tension, and an undeniable spark neither of them can ignore. What starts as a game of payback turns into something deeper. Will the senator let her icy walls melt, or will she fight against the fire that Alice brings into her life? •••
