Its Complicated Part II

AMBROSE SERIES #2 (On-going) Amaryllis Vega Perez grew up fast. Because of that, she has always been out of place, like a star struggling to shine beneath the vast ocean. Known to be too mature for her age, she was shown the gruesome realities of life early on, forced to act like an adult despite her young age. She has spent her life enduring the role of a sacrificial lamb, determined to shield her younger sisters from the pain she silently carries. When she is accepted into Ambrose University for senior high school, Amari seizes the chance to escape the waters that have long drowned her. A new school. A new environment. A fresh beginning. For the first time, she feels freedom, a chance to reach for her dreams. Cornelius Zade Luna is the perfect blend of intelligence, charm, and mystery. But beneath the polished exterior lies a boy just as lost, just as lonely, just as desperate to belong. If Amari is a star sinking beneath the waves, Cornelius is a fish searching for the sky, both reaching for a world they've never been allowed to touch. Their paths collide in a serendipitous pull. First in rivalry, then in reluctant partnership, and finally in a connection neither of them is ready for. A connection that feels like coming up for air... and sinking at the same time. And when the roaring seas awake, She must decide: can she finally face the waves of her past and the insecurities that have drowned her for so long? Or will she let the tides pull her under once more beneath its waves? Language: TAGLISH Started: 11/29/25
