Two people.

One plan.

A twist of fate.

A not-so-typical modern day fairytale that can happen to two people when they think that they've got it all planned out. 

On the outside, Alex Lizares seems like the prototype of a bad boy – reckless, egocentric, and roguish. Bequeathed with amazing looks and incredible sex appeal, he can charm his way out of anything. But is there more to Alex than meets the eye? Is a vulnerable and caring man just hiding behind that façade?

People see Drei Buenaventura as the perfect example of the modern woman – independent, resilient and confident. Having faced a lot of struggles in the past including losing the love of her life, Drei is convinced that she can already handle anything. However, is she really as tough as she seems? Can she play with fire and not get scorched?

All he wanted is to have fun and live his life to the fullest…not caring if he broke a few hearts along the way.

All she wished for was a break from her seemingly boring life...to feel alive again.

In a dangerous game where their hearts are at stake, who will emerge victorious and who will crash and burn?

Breaking rules and breaking hearts. Can they play the game?

Theirs To love by Keeper_of_Shadow

In the underbelly of a sprawling city, three lives become inextricably intertwined by fate, obsession, and a thirst for control. Leon and Victor are not just brothers; they are feared mafia leaders, known as much for their ruthlessness as for their shared obsessive-compulsive disorder, a trait passed down through generations of their crime family. They thrive on order, control, and the routines that keep their world in check. Into their carefully ordered world enters Clara, a sheltered young woman who has been homeschooled her entire life by overprotective parents, keeping her away from the city's dark secrets. With an innate innocence and curiosity, Clara represents everything the brothers have lost and yearn for. One fateful night, a chance encounter brings Clara into the brothers' world. Leon, with his brooding intensity, and Victor, with his cold calculating mind, both become infatuated with Clara, seeing in her an opportunity to break from their suffocating routines and experience something genuine. Their obsession grows, and they both wish to have her for themselves, but also recognize that she might be the only bond preventing them from self-destruction. Clara, initially intrigued by the brothers and their enigmatic aura, soon finds herself trapped in a world of luxury, danger, and conflicting emotions. While she is drawn to the passion and protection Leon offers, she is also captivated by Victor's strategic mind and the stability he provides. As the bonds between the trio deepen, so do the dangers they face. Rival mafias, jealous of the brothers' new distraction, see Clara as a vulnerable target. As the three navigate their unconventional relationship, they must also combat external threats and their own inner demons. "Theirs to Love" is a tale of obsession, desire, and the lengths one will go to for love. In a world dominated by darkness and danger, can an innocent light shine bright enough to survive, or will it be consumed by the shadows?

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.
