Zachary Ramirez is the engineer who makes her job ten times harder. Late requirements. Missing documents. Last-minute requests. They argue. They annoy each other. And somehow, the entire office has turned their rivalry into its favorite entertainment. But somewhere between the arguments, stolen lunches, unexpected gifts, and endless workplace chaos, Athena starts wondering... What if the person who annoys her the most is also the person she secretly looks forward to seeing every day? Fernandez vs. Ramirez. Where every deadline comes with an argument-and maybe, eventually, a little romance.

This time, her lola is in the ground, the house is full of relatives who keep asking when she's going back to Manila, and the ache in her hands hasn't stopped since the bus climbed past Baguio. Aven "Ven" Ragasa is still here. Still rooted. Still the person the whole barangay calls when something needs fixing. She's watched Soli leave twice and she has no intention of watching it a third time. There is a three at the edge of the Saldarriega property. It's old, older than the town, older than the family that's tended it, and something is wrong with it. Soli knows exactly what it is. She has known since she was seven-years-old, in the same way she has always known what she feels when Ven is in the room. Two hundred years in a mountain town an hour past Baguio. Three generations of women who loved someone society said they couldn't. One debt that has been waiting a very long time to be paid, and only one way left to pay it. Some things you inherit. Some things you have to come home and claim.

LANGIT, LUPA (Laro ng Tadhana: Book 3) "He demands perfection. She is fighting just to survive." To the world, Andrea Joy "AJ" De Leon has it all: a stable life and a diamond ring on her finger. But inside the theater, under the judgmental gaze of the man who once knew her soul, she is hollow. Her fiancé, Kevin, offers a "domestic leash" disguised as love, but it's the stage-and the director she once called Pau-that threatens to pull her back into a reality she's spent years trying to forget. Paulo Alonzo is no longer the quiet, serious boy from the tech booth. He is a "Terror Director" who weaponizes silence and demands raw truth from actors who have forgotten how to feel. He claims to hate AJ's lack of discipline, but behind his wire-rimmed glasses is a memory of a girl in a yellow hoodie who once made him break every rule he ever wrote. As rehearsals turn into a battlefield of past hurts and unspoken longings, AJ and Paulo must decide: Is the "Laro" they are playing a rehearsal for a new beginning, or the final act of a tragedy eight years in the making? In the game of Langit at Lupa, someone always has to fall.

As fame, expectations, and unspoken feelings pull them closer, they must decide if they will stay within the roles the world gave them-or risk becoming something neither of them knows how to label.

One believes every soul deserves a second chance. The other believes every verdict must remain impartial.

Someone is rewriting the laws that govern the afterlife. Now, the attorney who defends lost souls and the last guardian of Balance must decide whether justice is worth risking Heaven, Hell... and their own hearts.

These spine-tingling horror stories will challenge your perception of what is normal and plunge you into a world where the unexpected lurks around every corner. Are you ready to confront the darkness that lies beneath the surface of everyday life?

After the sudden death of the King of Pop, twenty-three years old Donielle Verisse Rivera finds herself unable to move on from the tragedy that haunted her childhood. Raised by parents who adored Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5, she spent her life surrounded by old vinyl records, VHS tapes, posters, and cassette collections that filled their tiny apartment with music and memories. One rainy night, while cleaning their storage room, Donielle discovers an old silver cassette tape labeled: "FOR THE GIRL WHO WILL CHANGE TIME."

What starts as an impossible encounter slowly becomes an emotional connection neither of them can explain.

Every trip weakens the timeline, alters reality, and slowly erases and changing the history. And somewhere hidden behind Michael's fame, a dangerous secret ties his music to time itself. Now Verisse must decide.. Can she really save the man the world could not save? Or was she sent back in time for another reason entirely? In a story filled with music, destiny, romance, mystery, and heartbreak, two souls connected across timelines fight against fate itself.... even if loving each other could destroy reality.

The forest at the edge of town isn't just a collection of trees. It's a maze of shadows and half-seen shapes, where sunlight fights its way through a tangled canopy, creating patterns that move when you blink. Roots twist like veins, the soil uneven and treacherous, and every sound a cracking branch, a whisper of wind feels deliberate, as if the forest itself is aware. Inside, the air smells damp and old, carrying memories of things forgotten. Leaves rustle with a rhythm that feels almost human, and sometimes it seems the forest is breathing, shifting, waiting. Paths appear and disappear, confusing the mind, making you doubt if you're moving forward or walking in circles. Every corner hides a question, every shadow a possibility danger, secret, or illusion. Beyond the trees, the town feels distant and unreal. Streets, houses, and the familiar school fade in contrast to the uncertainty waiting in the forest. Even friends Hugo, Ion, Drake are fragments of stability in a world that refuses to be predictable. Their presence is grounding, yet their actions and decisions are unpredictable, tangled in their own strengths and weaknesses. The warehouse inside the forest looms like a half-forgotten thought. Broken, rusted, yet oddly purposeful. It is a place that seems alive, resonating with questions no one can answer, a seed of curiosity that grows with every passing day. The forest does not give clues freely. It promises confusion first, adventure second, and leaves the mind racing, trying to grasp meaning in a place designed to resist it. Time seems different here. Every second stretches and twists. Light, shadow, and sound collide in ways that unsettle perception. What is real? What is imagined? What waits behind the next tree? The forest doesn't answer it only waits, watching, whispering, daring those curious enough to enter.

story of dissipated elusive dream trying to live a half like of you...

Ano ang pinaka old na memory na naaalala mo?...

Sa loob ng isang tahimik at abandonadong music room sa Seiyo Academy, doon nagsimula ang lahat. Si Haru ay isang dating piano prodigy na nakulong sa mundo ng katahimikan. Para sa kanya, ang musika ay naging paalala na lang ng sakit at pagkatalo. He stopped playing for years, naniniwalang wala nang saysay ang pagpindot sa mga tipa kung hindi naman na niya marinig ang emosyon sa likod ng mga ito. He's just a shadow in the hallway, avoiding the spotlight at all costs. Everything changed nang marinig niya ang isang malalim at gumagaralgal na tunog mula sa rooftop. Doon niya nakilala si Yumi. Hindi violin ang hawak niya, kundi isang Cello. Contrary sa image ng instrumentong ito na seryoso at malungkot, Yumi plays it with a wild, untamed energy. She doesn't just play the notes; she fights them. She's loud, clumsy, and full of life-the exact opposite of Haru's cold and precise world. The Twist: Yumi is losing her strength, and her time to perform is running out. Gusto niyang si Haru ang huling taong makakasama niya sa entablado. Pero paano tutugtog ang isang taong ayaw nang makinig para sa isang taong malapit nang mawalan ng boses?

A short war fiction about US-Chinese Naval Warfare.Fan fiction to PW Singer and August Cole's Ghostfleet (2015) novel. This work is also highly influenced by hard-core techno thrillers of Tom Clancy and Harold Coyle. Author's note: Hello everyone, I'm a first time writer here in Wattpad. I really have no idea where to self-publish my ideas but I've decided to give it a try here. I'am a Filipino International Relations Scholar with particular interest in Global Defense and International Security. Growing up during my late teenage life was full of nerd and geek stuff. Expose to playing highly-immersive RTS game like C&C Red Alert and FPS Call of Duty got me into war gaming. Complemented with exquisite contemporary techno thriller novels of Tom Clancy, Harold Coyle, Max Brooks, PW Singer, and August Cole had me hooked in geopolitics. Early on after reading GHOSTFLEET, I've been planning to do a one shot story revolving around one random USN ship, but I've decided to just let my thoughts flow to me, and now we are here. It's gonna be a full blown fan fiction and I'll do my best to bring the greatest entertainment to fellow techno-thriller fans out there. I dedicate this story to all men in service, fellow techno-thriller fans, and to the brilliant pioneers of the genre; Tom Clancy and Harold Coyle.
