Architecture, Ambition, and Avidity.
The island of Cebu has always been too small for the ambition of two powerful families: the Kinsleys and the Javiers. Their rivalry is legendary, a toxic blend of political warfare and construction industry dominance.
Jewel Selestine Kinsley, sharp-witted and fiercely driven, enters Cebu's most prestigious architecture program with a single goal: to prove she is the best. Now, with her father recently elected Governor and her family's firm gaining unprecedented power, the stakes have never been higher.
But waiting for her is her family's greatest foe and her most frustrating academic rival: Hector Isaac Javier, whose family owns the architectural empire that Seles' father seeks to dismantle, is as charming as he is competitive. Their classroom is a battlefield of blueprints and critiques, their arguments as passionate as their shared love for design. They are opposites who understand each other's vision better than anyone else.
The tension between them finally snaps, they agree to a strictly physical arrangement. No strings, no feelings, and absolutely no one can know that their vicious public rivalry hides a fiercely private connection.
When a mandatory project forces the governor's daughter and the tycoon's heir to build together, the foundations of their hatred begin to crack.
Therein lies the descry of veracity, the scent of freedom, and the kiss of ardor.

Love At First Hate
Maeven Eloise C. De Vera hated the thought of love-ironic, considering she grew up with two parents who proved that love defies all norms. Her father was gentle and flamboyant, her mother strong and grounded-a pair that worked perfectly. You'd think she'd be a hopeless romantic because of them, but Maeven believed otherwise. Despite her disbelief in love, she was the university's social butterfly-smart, beautiful, and adored by everyone. Well, almost everyone. Nikolai Calix L. Santiago was the exception. Everything about her infuriated him-the way she talked, walked, breathed, and worse, the way she lived rent-free in his head. Determined to beat her at something, he made it his mission to outshine her. To get her attention, he started taunting her in every way possible-little pranks, harmless jokes-until one went too far. And that's when something shifted. For the first time, Nikolai didn't want to win against her-he wanted to win... her? --- Written in the protagonists' point of views with a hint of the author's. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ This story is a work of fiction.
