After everything she went through, Leyrah stopped believing in love.
She's convinced na she's hard to love, kaya hindi niya iniintindi kapag may nagpapakita ng kahit anong kindness sa kanya.

Kaya nung dumating si Zadhi, hindi niya pinansin ang pagiging gentle nito.
She thought he was just nice. Friendly. Just a passing moment.
Hindi naman siya sanay na may tumatagal-lalo na para sa isang kagaya niya.

But Zadhi stayed.
Even though she ignores him, even though she always chooses distance, he always choose to stay.
And slowly, unti-unti niyang nakita na iba si Zadhi. Iba yung paraan nitong piliin siya nang hindi siya natatakot.

But as her heart slowly softened, quiet questions crept in:

"What if the moment I'm ready to love Zadhi... he's no longer there?
What if he feels differently about me too?
And what if, in the end, it's all too late?"

Broken Doll by CherylZielle

The De Luca brothers reign supreme in the underworld, holding dominion over the ruthless realm of the Italian Mafia. They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.

When Selena Ilyanah Vega Montoya, an introverted artist from a wealthy family in Manila, escapes the city's noise and scrutiny, she finds herself in the quiet, rustic town of Dimasalang-the very same place her mysterious cousin Liora once disappeared into. Seeking solace, clarity, and maybe even herself, Selena stumbles upon a man she doesn't know but can't seem to forget. Sebastian Silas Reyes Cortez lives a life rooted in simplicity. A furniture maker with a quiet strength and a past he chooses not to speak of, he spends his days building with his hands and avoiding the noise of emotions he can't afford to entertain. One stolen photo. One moment frozen in Selena's lens sparks an obsession-not of romance, but of art, of curiosity. She doesn't know his name, but she paints him. Again and again. Until fate decides it's time for their worlds to collide. As they orbit around each other in the slow rhythm of a town untouched by time, secrets begin to unfold, and what started as a portrait becomes something far more intimate.
