Ysabela's life only revolved around two important things: her family, and her ambition. Anything else out of that description is instantly disregarded-not even love. Para sa isang babaeng hindi kailanman nagkaroon ng pagkakataon sa isang marangyang pamumuhay, mahirap talaga ang tumaya kung wala ka namang isusugal pa. Masarap pakinggan, at masarap sa pakiramdam ang minamahal. Maari 'yong maging pansamantalang pasatiyempo palayo sa reyalidad na kailangan niyang gampanan. Sa mabilis at walang awang unos ng buhay, suntok sa buwan ang maniwala sa isang pangako ng pagibig. For her, love will always be a luxury she would never be able to afford-Not only because of money, or status, but because deep inside, she knew it was never part of her priority. So when faced with a question that involves choices, her answer became both her salvation and downfall.Complete

The Long Way Back To You
For as long as she can remember, Samaree has been a footnote in Geoffrey's life. She's the girl who never confessed, the silent observer from the sidelines, and the birthday greeter who always stayed in the friend-zone. For years, she kept her feelings for him tucked away like a favorite book she was too afraid to finish-until the weight of the almost became too much to carry. Now, she's just a Pre-med student trying to survive clinical rotations with her heart intact and her caffeine levels dangerously high. But the universe has a funny sense of timing. Just when Samaree is ready to close that book for good, she reconnects with Gavasiel-a guy from Geoffrey's inner circle who seems to have a permanent residence in her personal space. Gava is the bridge. He's the one who knows the secrets, the shortcut that can finally put her in the same room as the boy who never noticed her. He was supposed to be the wingman. The ticket back to the past. The plan was simple: use the bridge to get to the destination. But as Samaree navigates a messy world of anatomy exams, late-night deliveries, and new realizations, the rhythm of her life begins to shift. Now, she's starting to wonder. Is she still chasing a ghost from the past, or is the long way back to him actually the path leading to someone else entirely? A Pinoy romcom about timing, coffee jitters, and the realization that sometimes, getting lost is the only way to be found.![Simple and Sweet [Chaos Series Part 1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/375051563-256-k776228.jpg)
