Midnight Series #1
Is being smart a blessing. . . or a curse?
Sera's life feels like a game- quiet, calculated, and always a step ahead. Like a chessboard laid out before her, where she moves as the queen and others exist merely as pieces. She's an independent woman. She doesn't need anyone. She knows her boundaries. She knows her worth.
Or at least, that's what she believes.
Then she meets a man who was the complete opposite of her.
A man who doesn't plan ten steps ahead, only the next day. Someone who wakes up just to survive. A pawn, trapped in the same game she thought she had already mastered.
She was never meant to fall.
Yet somehow...
she already does.

Beneath the Rainbow's Embrace
Life is full of challenges. But where do we find the strength to keep fighting when the people who once inspired us are gone? Is it still possible to rise when we are drowning in pain-shattered, broken, and betrayed by those we trusted the most? Farreah Red Leviathan is a young woman who is kind yet feisty, strong-willed yet tender-hearted-especially when it comes to her parents. Forced by life's harsh realities to stop her education after high school, Red carries a quiet insecurity about her past. Yet despite this, her wisdom, resilience, and depth of knowledge reveal a mind shaped not by classrooms, but by experience. Her closest friend, Dretheia Ellyn Suizon, lives a life far removed from Red's struggles-born into wealth and comfort. Through Dretheia's mother, Red is offered a job as a helper in a grand Mansion. Desperate for work, she accepts without hesitation-unaware that her bosses were gays. The people under her care are three adult men with childlike minds-gay siblings whose personalities clash with Red's patience and challenge her emotional limits. Each day becomes a test of endurance, self-control, and compassion. As fate continues to pile hardship upon hardship, Red finds herself on the verge of surrender. But through the unwavering support of her sister and her closest friend, she discovers that even at her weakest, strength can still be reborn. Dreiko Zin Florencio: will he become a turning point in Red's life, or merely another trial she must endure? Cziendro Finn Florencio: could he be the one destined for her heart, or will their bond forever remain just friendship? Keinzo Shun Florencio: the youngest of the siblings-will he be Red's greatest enemy, or t the connection she never expected? Join us as we unravel the pages of Red's story-one filled with pain, resilience, unexpected bonds, and the question that lingers above all else. Can a broken soul still rise-and love again?Complete

But Tibo Alexandre didn't respond the way she expected people to. He didn't flinch at her silence, nor did he take her withdrawal as a final answer. Will Aiah stay where silence keeps her safe, or will Tibo become the sound that lingers long enough to break what she never thought could be heard again?Complete

What begins as friendship blossoms into a love story filled with stolen glances, soft confessions, inside jokes, forehead kisses, and a boy who never lets her doubt her worth.
