Dr. Adriana Valdez doesn't believe in things she can't control.
Not in coincidence. Not in fate. And definitely not in love.
As one of the hospital's most talented neurosurgeons, Adriana is used to control, every incision calculated, every outcome anticipated. People, however, are less predictable. Especially Mika Pascual.
Mika is everything Adriana isn't. Warm where she is distant. Honest where she is guarded. A painter who sees meaning in the smallest details, and insists on finding it in Adriana too.
What begins as quiet curiosity turns into something harder to ignore.
Because for the first time, Adriana finds herself confronted with something she cannot diagnose, cannot fix, and cannot walk away from without consequence.
And some connections, once made, refuse to disappear even when they begin to fade.

She Chose Me In The Sunlight [Book 2]
"Noong umalis siya, para nang namatay ang buong pagkatao ko." - Eli
Railey's Supermodel
"Damn that woman. She wasn't even nice to start with. Paasa!" Mula sa kinatatayuan ko ay napalingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses na iyon. Halatang lasing na. There's a 5'11 tall girl, with a glass of brandy on her right hand. Nakasandal ito sa pader habang nakatingin sa may gilid ng pool. She reminds me of Grant's height and Leigh's physique. Pati pormahan, Leigh na Leigh yung datingan. I was busy looking at her when she childishly sat on the edge of the pool. Tinanggal nito yung stilettos nito at walang pakialam kahit mabasa pa yung skirt nito habang nakaupo sa gilid. Her white long legs are exposed dahil sa nalilis nitong skirt. Out of my normal, I'll just let it pass. "I've been chasing her for two fuckin' years. But she's not even seeing me as her equal. It sucks." Seryoso. Lasing na talaga siguro 'to. Don't tell me babae talaga yung tinutukoy nya? Natatawang nilapitan ko tuloy ito. A small talk won't hurt right? "Hey, Are you okay?" Natigilan ako nang umangat yung kulay light blue nitong mga mata patingin sa akin. I'm not fond of blue eyes. But hers is as clear as a sky. She's still brimming into tears. "Get out!" Gusto kong matawa. Para talaga syang bata. It reminds me of my bestfriend. "What's wrong with you?" Inabot ko sa kanya yung white hanky ko. "Are you stalking me?" "No, of course not. Why would I?" "Hindi mo ako kilala?" I gently shake my head. "Sabagay. You look like a commoner." Tumingin pa sya sakin mula ulo hanggang paa. Fine, I'm wearing black fitted jeans, my casual white tees, and white sneakers. Kagagaling ko lang kasi sa hangar kanina. I just need a drink kaya naghanap ako ng may party. "Do you usually talk to a stranger?" tanong pa nito. "Of course. Talking to someone you do not know is relieving. Especially when you need to talk." Tumayo ito at lumapit sakin. Napatingala naman ako dito. "I don't need to talk. I need to prove something. Stay still, stranger." And then she kissed me. Fucks! What!?Complete

Deves Ember "Lucky" Silverado has everything people dream of: a flourishing career, international awards, and her name etched in the world of architecture. To the public, she is the epitome of success - a woman who built an empire out of steel, glass, and brilliance. But behind every structure she creates lies a story she refuses to tell. At thirty, Deves remains unmarried. For others, it is a curious mystery. For her, it is a wound she never dared to reopen. Because long before she became a renowned architect, Deves met the woman who ruined her life in ways no one would ever understand. A love that became her greatest regret. A love that broke her physically, mentally, and emotionally. A love she survived - barely. And now, that same woman is married... to Deves's cousin. For years, Deves pretended she had moved on. She poured all her strength into building - not knowing she was slowly burying herself under the rubble of her own past. Everything remains locked away... until one journalist, during a live press conference, suddenly asks her the question she fears the most: "𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞?" The world stops. Cameras focus on her. Her breath falters. Memories she has spent years avoiding resurface like a haunting: the rooftop sunsets, the promises, the betrayal - and the moment she was exactly 𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑦-𝑓𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒. This is the story of a woman who fled from love, the woman who destroyed her, and the painful truth she discovers when the past refuses to stay buried.
