My Bizarre Lover--Facsimile of Him
A Story of Clones--What boundaries are you willing to cross just to bring someone you love back to life? What if... the result of that choice turns into something sinister--a vicious creature? This story follows Roy Abueva and Julie Fuentebella, a young couple whose love was cut short by Roy's untimely death. But twenty years later, Roy mysteriously returns. Unbeknownst to others, he is but a clone who emerged from the underground lab of Dr. Guillermo--a brilliant yet unhinged scientist secretly hired by Roy's grieving parents to revive their son through cloning and memory modification technology. Some believe this "new Roy" is the real deal--a second chance at life. Others whisper about dark rituals and resurrection through black magic. Julie's family and closest friends want nothing to do with him, convinced something isn't right. They warn her to stay away, unsure of who--or what--he truly is. Can love survive when the person you once knew might no longer be human? Will this second chance bring a happy ending--or spark the beginning of something far more terrifying? --- This story is inspired by a real-life powerful couple in the Philippine entertainment industry. Filipinos were shocked when one half of the couple died an untimely death. As one of their avid fans, I wrote this story with the male character revived through cloning technology.

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Complete
