Despite her past, she's the most loving, caring, and the most genuine person someone could've ever meet. Her life only revolves around her Dad, academic, her two friends, and her love in books and modelling, no men, literally NO MEN, until...
She met a guy who's two years older than her, not just a random guy, but that guy featured everything she's looking for in a man. He's Conrad Brailé Grant, an Oncologist.
In the heat of Spain, their connection grows into something deep. Conrad becomes her anchor, the only person who truly understands the weight of her loss. But when the time comes for Venice to return to her hometown and reclaim her old life, she finds herself paralyzed. The home she once loved is calling her back, but the "Velvet Trap" Conrad has built around her heart is too tight to break. Can she really leave the man who saved her, or is she destined to stay forever in a life that isn't hers?

Folded Like Notes
Eliana Izel Mendoza once believed she had her life perfectly mapped out. Back in senior high, she was the composed student whose world revolved around plans, deadlines, and quiet ambitions. She wasn't supposed to fall for anyone....especially not for Laurence Gomez, the boy whose calm presence felt like a secret she was never meant to keep. Years later, Eliana's life looks exactly as she hoped: successful, independent, and built on the steadiness she once craved. A licensed architect living on her own, she has traded school corridors for city skylines. Yet beneath the rhythm of her carefully managed days, something feels unfinished. When a chance encounter with Laurence's mother reconnects her to the Gomez family, Eliana finds herself unexpectedly facing the past she thought she'd outgrown. Laurence-now a pilot who's returned home for good, reappears, holding not just the plans for his family's new house, but pieces of a memory she's long tucked away. As construction begins, boundaries blur between professional and personal, and the quiet tension that once lived between them resurfaces, more mature, but no less complicated. Meanwhile, Gavino Leander Ramirez, her old constant, lingers on the edges of her present life, steady and loyal, but never quite crossing the line she's drawn. In a story that folds between past and present, Folded Like Notes traces the slow unraveling of emotions once left unread. Because sometimes, the things we bury in our youth don't disappear....they wait for the right time, and the right person, to unfold again.
