WARNING: SPG | Mature Content | R-18 All she was expecting from him was a grant to support her education; little did she know that he would give her more. ✼━━━━━━━━━━━━✼ The 19-year-old student, Cassandra del Rosario, has no other objectives in life but two things: (1) to be liberated from the undesired degree program and (2) to release her family from the curse of poverty. For Lorenzo Castillo, the 27-year-old new mayor of the town of Hope, or "Pueblo de Esperanza", nothing is important to him but two things: (1) to be disengaged from his father's will and (2) to execute the scheme that was developed by his resentful past. When their paths met, the two could not deny the curiosity and interest that they felt for each other. However, due to their status in life- Cassandra as a scholar and Lorenzo as a mayor- their sudden relationship became furtive. But one thing is undoubtedly true: no secret can be kept forever. Everything will be disclosed, and everyone will be opposed to their stealthy affair. For Cassandra, Lorenzo was the man who captured her heart; for Lorenzo, Cassandra was nothing more than a knick-knack for the little game he wanted to perform. Cassandra's heart shattered to pieces upon learning all the secrets that were kept from her. Lorenzo will feel that he should be over the moon as he finally accomplished his long-awaited plan, but why did everything he did seem to backfire on him? Separated paths. Shattered trusts. Broken hearts. Is love really worth fighting for? © 𝑩𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒉, 2019 *This novel is unedited.

She didn't know she only had just ten dates to fall in love. He didn't expect he'd need just ten dates to break his own heart. Because when the truth finally came out, love was the cruelest part of the plan. Alexandra Calynn Acosta had long given up on the idea of love that lasted. Always carrying the weight of responsibility, she chose to put her family first, even if it meant sacrificing her own dreams. Bound by a commitment she never asked for and engaged to a man she never chose, love was a luxury she couldn't afford-until Caelan made her question everything she thought she knew about herself. Caelan Amell Gervacio, on the other hand, had always believed in love-the real kind, the kind that endures. To him, relationships were about loyalty, trust, and building something that would last. But when he met Calynn, he wasn't prepared for the way she would turn his world upside down. What started as a simple attraction soon became something deeper, especially once he uncovered the hidden truths that tied their lives together in ways neither of them could have ever expected. But what happens when their worlds collide? Can love break down the walls they've built, or will it be the thing that destroys them both? This story has been on my drive since July 18, 2020. I wrote this during the pandemic as a product of my imagination, and I wanted to practice my writing. So, I plotted this story in my mind. I want to write stories about different types of love-for family, friends, and a special someone-through these stories.

She has lived her life bound by three core values: maintaining the fragile peace of Salvado, safeguarding the friends she holds dear, and keeping her word, as her family's legacy demands. For years, that has been enough. She didn't care for much else. Until her sister throws a wrench into everything, forcing her to take on a responsibility she never wanted. This responsibility comes in the form of a woman-one with a burning desire to reclaim her fallen family's name. She's ambitious, self-serving, and utterly selfish. At first, the woman seems like nothing more than a nuisance, someone to babysit until the job is done. Carlisle has no interest in her or her petty schemes. She could disappear tomorrow, and Carlisle wouldn't bat an eyelash. But when Carlisle starts to uncover the truth-that the woman she's now bound to protect may have played a role in the suffering of someone Carlisle has sworn to protect-everything changes. The betrayal cuts deeper than she ever expected. Her sense of duty is tested, and with it, her loyalty to her friend, who has been by her side for years. Now, Carlisle stands at a crossroads, trapped between two opposing forces: her sworn duty to protect a woman she finds repulsive, and the loyalty she has always held for her friends, the people who has shared her life, her secrets, and her struggles. Can she keep her word, as a Di Santis should, even if it means betraying someone she loves? Or will the truth force her to shatter her oath, risking not only her own reputation but the fragile peace she's worked so hard to maintain? With every step, the weight of her decision grows heavier, and the consequences more dire. In a world where family, loyalty, and power collide, Carlisle must choose what kind of person she wants to be-and whether she's willing to sacrifice everything she holds dear all for the sake of one woman.

I was the bad guy. The monster that people hate. I was the reason why some agents died in the line of duty. I became the hated mole in my own agency. I turned my back to my own family because I thought I was going to die. I made a deal with the devil until those people started to collect their share. Until I became one of them. I became the devil himself. The once member of an elite team became the cold-blooded killer. I joined those syndicates that I used to hunt. I've got nothing to lose. All I care about back then was to get the money that I can leave for my family the moment I die. But life has a way of fucking things up. Teodoro Castro died, but Martin Darke was born. With a different face, a different body, I had no family to return to. I had to live a different life away from them. I needed to forget them. People helped me to get my second chance. A chance to make things right. The redemption that I was looking for was at the palm of my hands. And I am going to kill anyone who will comes in my way to get the redemption that I deserve. Even if she was the woman that made me fall in love again. --------------------- Note. This is written in Filipino and English language Another note: 18+. Dark. Gruesome. Read at your own risk.
