Bounded and Conquered, a novella [Slice of Life. Politics. Semi-BL Romance]
Oblivious but unscathed. Oscillating between naivety and wit. Preferring kindness and warmth over power and delusions of grandeur. That is what Lorelei Sigrid Manalastas is made of. With his mother raising him alone and homeschooling for a decade, he is now finally stepping out to experience life and to attend an actual school.
As he unravels and navigates the norms and true identity of a teenager, he will cross paths with Roam Douglas Buenaventura IV, the scion of Ventura Hawthorne Academy. He knew he was bound not to cross more lines head-on, but fate had other plans for him.
What happens when the simple drive he had to experience life outside his home becomes more complicated? To what extent is he willing to push his bounds? And try to change everything that was not meant to be conquered?
