de Chavez Siblings #5
Warning: R-🔞 with mature themes and languages
Everyone in town knows William de Chavez--the altar server and choir member in the church his family built, the fifth son of an infamous lawyer, and the eldest child of a former provincial board member. His family's name carries power, but also controversy.
But Esther Adajar, fresh from years in the U.S., knows none of his story.
Returning to Laguna to reconnect with her roots, she doesn't expect to find William in the rice fields. A haughty and sarcastic guy, and ironically devoted to the local church.
He's nothing as she expected.
And she's everything he never wanted.
Will the two get along well once they learn about the marriage set for them?

Salt & Caramel (Love, Brewed#1)
Sal Alvarez built Café Primero on three rules: no shouting, no free coffee, and no hiring anyone she couldn't afford to lose. She broke the third one first. Mel Vergara wasn't supposed to stay. He walked in uninvited, offered to mop floors, and somehow made silence feel less like a weight. He wasn't sweet. But he was steady-and that's exactly the problem. Because just when Sal was finally ready to admit what she felt, Mel vanished. No explanation. No goodbye. Just gone-back to the life where he truly belonged. And for six years, Sal carried the silence he left behind. Six years of early mornings, quiet matcha hours, and trying not to rewrite that final rule in her head. Then one cozy afternoon, he came back. No warning. No reason. Just a familiar voice saying: "One salted caramel, please. With so much salt." "And a cheese roll." Now the man she tried to forget is standing at her counter again. And no one knows why.

de Chavez Siblings #28 Warning: R-🔞 with mature themes and languages 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 Sabi nga nila, para mag-work ang love triangle, dapat may isang bading sa picture. Ilang taon nang ini-stalk ni Althea si Messiah. Ilang beses na rin siyang nagtangkang jowain ito pero lagi na lang din siyang nababasted. Wala na siyang pakialam kahit mag-take pa siya ng program sa college na hindi niya naman gusto, masundan lang ang crush niya at matupad ang pangarap niyang maging girlfriend nito. Walang kamalay-malay si Althea na deads na deads sa kanya si Geoffrey. Bilang center ng basketball team at self-proclaimed crush ng bayan, hindi papayag si Geoffrey na basta na lang siyang mababasted dahil lang may crush na bakla ang crush niya, kaya para makuha ang gusto, kakailanganin niya si Messiah para matupad ang gusto niya. Ang malaking problema ni Geoffrey ay kung matutupad ba ang gusto niyang maging girlfriend si Althea kung si Messiah ang taong babrasuhin niya.
