This is a story of young love-fragile, unspoken, and shaped by distance and circumstance.
Lisa Manoban had always been the kind of student whose brilliance drew attention. Scholarships awaited her, teachers praised her, and her future looked promising. Yet it was her passion for dancing that defined her most. By junior high, she had earned a name for herself as one of the school's most gifted dancers.
Jennie Kim, on the other hand, lived under a different kind of spotlight. As one of the school's celebrated It Girls, she was adored and envied in equal measure. Boys vied for her attention, girls admired and resented her, and though she wore confidence like armor, beneath it lived a soft heart few ever saw. She wasn't academically gifted, but she was persistent, intuitive, and far gentler than people assumed.
Their worlds collided through Irene-Jennie's friend who would eventually become Lisa's girlfriend. What began as friction between Lisa and Jennie soon shifted into something unexpectedly tender. When Lisa's heart broke, Jennie became the quiet solace she didn't know she needed. And without either of them realizing it, the boundary between friendship and something deeper began to blur.
But neither spoke of it. Neither dared to.
After high school, life carried them down separate paths, yet the echo of what they once shared lingered silently between them. Years later, fate allowed their paths to cross again in the city-a place where dreams begin, and where old wounds sometimes find healing. But Jennie was no longer the girl Lisa once knew; she was now a mother.
Will love give them a second chance?
Or will the weight of the past-and the life Jennie built-keep them apart once more?

In Another Time, Maybe (Last Book of Not My Bodyguard) Completed.
Three hearts. Three stories. One thread of love stretched too far between them. Jennie, the woman who once held Lisa's heart in both hands - and unintentionally broke it by not knowing how to hold it right. A love that bloomed too fast, too fierce, and faltered when comfort became complacency. She never stopped loving Lisa, but love left unattended is love lost all the same. Chloe, the woman who never planned to fall - but did so gently, quietly, completely. She never asked for anything in return, only stayed long enough to help Lisa remember how to breathe again. She was the calm after the storm... but even the calm knows when to step away from a battlefield never meant for her. And Lisa - the heart caught in between. The one who loved deeply and lost loudly. Who bled silently through heartbreak and exile, only to rebuild herself in the solitude of discipline and distance. She left to forget, only to carry the weight of them both. Now she returns - not as the girl she was, but as a woman uncertain of where she belongs. In Another Time, Maybe isn't a story of choosing who to love. It's a story of choosing when. Of loving two people in different ways. Of learning that timing is just as cruel as it is kind. That sometimes the right person is found in the wrong season - and that no matter how tightly you hold on, you cannot make the universe speed up, slow down, or turn back. Jennie hopes Lisa hasn't stopped loving her. Chloe hopes Lisa learned to love herself. And Lisa... she isn't sure what she hopes for anymore. But when paths cross again - as they always seem to - maybe hope is enough to begin. In another time, maybe... they all would've gotten it right.Complete

Her Replaced Bride - Jenlisa
Love was never supposed to find them like this. For Lisa Manoban, love was always a dream stitched in quiet fragrances and fleeting moments-the kind of forever she once believed in, the kind she bottled in perfume, hoping someone would one day understand. On her wedding day, she waited to be given away, to surrender her future to a stranger chosen by family, her heart caught between obedience and silent rebellion. And then the groom ran away. For Jennie Ruby Jane, love had always been a rumor, a whisper she never trusted. She had inherited empires and obligations, but never intimacy; she knew the weight of expectation better than the warmth of devotion. Cold, untouchable, and unwilling to bend-Jennie had promised herself she would never belong to anyone. And yet, on that same day, she was asked to replace the man who fled. Two women bound not by choice but by circumstance. Two hearts pressed into vows neither wrote. In a world where silence cuts sharper than words, and longing lingers longer than perfume, they must learn whether love can grow in the spaces between heartbreak and hope. This is not a story of perfect beginnings. This is a story of vows rewritten, of glances that hurt and hands that heal, of two souls who were never meant to collide-yet did. This is the story of Her Replaced Bride.Complete

But beneath the cold control is a hunger for something more than titles, more than eternity. Something real. Then whispers reach the Council. A myth, a ghost, a name long erased from the ancient texts: Lisa Manoban. The daughter of Dracula. The one who vanished in the fire that took down the original bloodline.

Our Unfinished Symphony
Lisa gip 🌙 Epilogue The university courtyard was silent that morning, though the cherry blossoms had begun to bloom. Jennie stood beneath the old tree, her hands trembling around a folded note - the last words Lisa had left her. The handwriting was uneven, but the message was clear: "Don't cry for me, Jennie. Loving you was enough. You gave me more than the world ever did. Please, live beautifully - for the both of us." Tears blurred Jennie's vision. She had spent so long pushing Lisa away, calling her persistent, annoying, foolish - only to realize, when it was too late, that Lisa had loved her with every fragile heartbeat. A soft breeze carried the blossoms across the bench where Lisa once sat every morning, waiting with that stubborn smile Jennie used to roll her eyes at. Now she would give anything just to see it again. Her lips quivered as she whispered Lisa's name. Not in annoyance. Not in rejection. But in love - raw and aching. Yet the girl who carried poverty, illness, and hope in her fragile heart was no longer there to hear it. Jennie sank onto the bench, pressing a hand against the spot beside her, as if she could still feel Lisa sitting there. She closed her eyes and remembered - the laughter, the light in her eyes, the way she always looked at her as if she were just Jennie, not a queen. The world would keep moving. The blossoms would bloom again. Jennie Kim would remain admired, untouchable. But inside, there was only silence - because she had lost the only person who had ever truly seen her. Lalisa Manobal. The orphan. The fighter. The love of her life. And Jennie knew, with every breath she had left, she would never forget her.

Crimson Temptation [JENLISA]
[GP] Jennie Ruby Jane. People mistook her beauty for innocence, but her allure was never pure. It was deliberate, calculated, and devastatingly effective. Every line of her body carried an unspoken promise, and every glance was a test of willpower. A law student in her final year, she knew the power of words and wielded them like a blade-sharp, persuasive, lethal when she chose. Behind her red-painted lips and smoldering eyes was a mind sharper than any cross-examination. Lisa Manoban. A surgeon with ice-untouchable, unreadable. Her hands were steady, her heart carefully stitched shut after a painful past. Her beauty was clinical, almost cruel in its precision, a face carved in marble with eyes that gave nothing back. She spoke in measured tones, as if every word cost more than it was worth, and silence was her favorite weapon. While others sought warmth, Lisa offered only cold truth, her gaze dissecting people the way her scalpel did flesh. Together, they make the perfect storm- temptation and control, fire and ice, heat and emptiness. Can they turn the storm into a perfect weather? Or will the storm keeps swirling around?Complete
