Last Call for Runaways
Amelia Ricalde was supposed to say "I do."
Instead, she jumped out a window, landed in a dumpster, and crash-landed into The Backroom Saints - a half-functional dive bar run by Rue Lim, a bartender who makes bad drinks and even worse decisions.
Now stranded in Manila with nothing but a ripped wedding dress and a panic attack, Amelia ends up sleeping on Rue's busted sofa. Rue figures she'll be gone by morning.
She isn't.
Between spilled cocktails, neon lights, and arguments about cocktail shakers, the runaway bride and the emotionally unavailable bartender start accidentally rebuilding each other's lives - one disaster at a time.
But when Amelia's past comes knocking, she'll have to choose: the perfect life she escaped, or the beautiful, chaotic one she's built behind the bar.
A story about heartbreak, healing, and second chances in the glow of a dying neon sign -
Last Call for Runaways is a WLW slow burn about falling apart, falling in love, and learning that the best beginnings often start with a bad decision.

Mikha has been inlove with Maloi since the first time they've met. She did everything on her will to make her fall for her. And she didn't fail! Maloi fell for her and it made her the happiest person on Earth. So she took that chance and secretly started to keep her long time promise for her, one by one. When she thought everything's falling into their perfect places, Maloi suddenly broke up with her and left her. Hindi man naging malinaw ang dahilan kung bakit siya iniwan ni Maloi, sobrang lalim naman ng sakit na idinulot nito sa kanyang puso. Makalipas nga ang tatlong taon, dumating na ang araw na pinakahihintay nya. Iyon ay ang muling pagtatagpo ng kanilang mga landas. This time instead of letting Maloi fall for her, she will take her revenge and make her suffer. At mukhang umaayon sa kanya ang tadhana dahil malaki ang pangangailan sa kanya ng babae. Pero magagawa nga kaya ni Mikha na pasakitan si Maloi? Because eventhough Mikha's heart is now full of anguish and hatred towards Maloi she can't help herself to be drawn with her all over again.Concluida
Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Concluida
Oblivion and Echoes
In the heart of Manila, where neon nights blur into heavy mornings, Mikha Lim lives two lives. By day, she is a razor-sharp lawyer feared in court. By night, she hides behind the neon glow of her bar-an escape she refuses to name. Maloi Ricalde, an indie singer-songwriter, drifts through cafés and dimly lit gigs, piecing herself together with lyrics and sketches no one else sees. Their worlds aren't meant to collide. Yet when they do, the spark is impossible to contain-pride against vulnerability, silence against song, control against chaos. Oblivion & Echoes is a slow-burning story of intimacy, betrayal, and the dangerous gravity of unspoken feelings. ⚠️ Content Warning: Contains mature themes: WLW romance (f/f dynamic) Emotional conflict, betrayal, and vulnerability Nightlife, drinking, and smoking Taglish dialogue with profanity Explicit/NSFW content in later chapters Reader discretion advised.Concluida
While We're Here
They were never supposed to meet. Mikha only needed a place to crash after her old unit was sold overnight. Maloi only needed somewhere warmer than a hotel while she was in the city for work. One loft condo. Two strangers. Twenty-five days until they go their separate ways. Pero sa pagitan ng quiet mornings, late-night talks sa balcony, spontaneous coffee runs, shared playlists, at mga hawak na mas tumatagal kaysa dapat - unti-unti nilang nadidiskubre na hindi lahat ng chapter sa buhay mo kailangan maging mahaba para maging importante. Because sometimes, home isn't a place. It's a person you found... while you were here.Concluida

I'm Sorry (Watty Nominated 2019)
"I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for being so emotional all the time. I'm sorry for hurting myself the way i do. I'm sorry for pushing everyone away.

And he would make sure he saves her no matter what.Concluida
Love on Trial
A'ishah stood out in the vibrant city of Manila, not just because she was new, but because her calm demeanor suggests that her poise and serenity are so exceptional that they seem almost too perfect for this world, giving her an almost magical, out of this world beauty. Fresh from London, she moved to the Philippines to take care of her mother, a woman broken by her own husband and now clinging to A'ishah for emotional support. Despite her mother's demands and the weight of these expectations, A'ishah remained a picture of grace and composure. But underneath her serene exterior, A'ishah was struggling. She felt trapped in a cycle of trying to be perfect for her mother, while longing for the freedom to live her own life. It was a tough balancing act, made harder by her mother's relentless need for control. Despite feeling drained, A'ishah held on, buoyed by the love of her supportive best friend who always got her back, Nicole. Nicole is A'ishah's childhood best friend, who was more like a sister and a role model for her. Nicole introduced A'ishah to her circle of friends, and that's when things began to change. These new friends brought warmth and laughter into A'ishah's life, especially Maxine, who was her complete opposite: lovely, chatty, and full of care. Maxine was like a burst of sunshine in A'ishah's previously gloomy world. With each day, A'ishah found herself looking forward to spending time with her new friends. They were helping her rediscover joy and giving her a glimpse of a happier, more fulfilling life. For the first time in a while, she felt like she was on the path to not just surviving but truly living. But everything has an end. An end for all the pain she's going through. But also an end for everything she started to love too. But how can she be selfish? Should she choose the chance to fix their family and leave the life she grew to love with Maxine, or... Just stay. Stay and... work things out.Concluida![The Pack Slut (The Fae Omegas, #1) [Full Version]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/334232919-256-k92635.jpg)

Between Diapers and Living Room Confessions
Mikha Lim never planned to move in with Maloi Ricalde. In fact, she had never even met her. But when Mikha's family home in Batangas undergoes a full renovation-and her parents conveniently jet off abroad-she finds herself crashing in Maloi's upscale BGC townhouse. What Mikha doesn't know? Maloi isn't just living alone. She's raising Malcolm Jaeger, her two-month-old adopted son. What starts as an awkward, temporary arrangement quickly turns into late-night baby feedings, shared coffee in the mornings, and quiet talks in the living room when the world feels asleep. Friends drop by, siblings visit, and chaos unfolds in malls, beaches, and grocery aisles. Somewhere between diaper changes and accidental heart-to-hearts, the lines between guest and something more start to blur. But with Mikha's family house nearly ready, reality sets in: she was always supposed to leave. And now, both of them have to figure out if what they've built is just a temporary comfort... or the beginning of a home neither expected to find. A slow-burn, WLW rom-com with a touch of drama, Between Diapers and Living Room Confessions is a modern love story about found family, everyday chaos, and the moments that quietly change everything.Concluida
