I Can't Marry You....

Shalom park has always been a center of attraction. Known for its beauty, serenity and energy, people flock there everyday to take pictures, have picnic or just sit around enjoying the smell of the blooming cherry blossoms. Karina, a beautiful young lady sat under a purple Jacaranda tree, gazing up to the sky with loneliness and melancholy oozing from her. It was around noon and the sun was nowhere to be seen, instead the clouds condensed as if welcoming the arrival of a rain. "Looks like it's going to rain." Karina said to herself which sounded almost like a whisper. "How I wish it could wash away the pain I feel right now." She sighed. The sky rumbled, confirming the presence of an incoming rain. Karina stood up, packing her bag and prepared to leave but stopped suddenly after taking five steps. She stood there till the rain began. It started as drops but soon increased and within no time, Karina was soaked. She stood under the rain for about 8 minutes, shaking and sneezing continuously. Passers-by looked at Karina with strange gazes but went their way without approaching her. Tired of standing, she crouched and shivered like an animal hiding from its predator. After a while, footsteps echoed in the rain, getting clearer and clearer until it stopped beside Karina. The footsteps belonged to a young man who covered Karina with his suit and shielded her from the rain with his umbrella. Having bent for long, Karina had a hard time standing and could only stand with the help of the young man. "It's you!" After having a clear look of his face, Karina exclaimed. "Yes, it's me but what on earth are you doing in the rain like a kitten abandoned by its owner?" He questioned confusedly. With a bitter and lonely smile, Karina asked "You think so too?" *"I Can't Marry You...."*

New World, New Life: I Became A Bigshot In The Ancient World

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "F*ck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor husband of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Torn between hearts

Sometimes, the hardest part of falling in love isn't finding the right person. It's choosing between two hearts that make you feel something different. After giving her whole heart to a man who only left her with heartbreak, Jessica Lee decides it's time to start over. Leaving her painful past behind, she moves to a new city where her best friend lives, hoping to rebuild her life and rediscover the girl she used to be. Love, however, has other plans. Enter Jay and Damien—two brothers who share the same blood but couldn't be more different. Jay is a successful, ambitious CEO who has built his reputation beyond the shadow of his wealthy father. Cold, disciplined, and fiercely focused on his career, he has little time for distractions. At least, that's what he tells himself before Jessica walks into his life. Damien, on the other hand, is a notorious playboy who owns several hotels and bars, all funded by his father's fortune. Charming, reckless, and accustomed to getting whatever he wants, he has never had much trouble winning hearts. But Jessica might be the first woman who makes him want something more than a fleeting romance. Unfortunately, the brothers share more than a family name. Beneath their wealth and success lies a bitter feud that has kept them at odds for years. When fate brings Jessica into their separate worlds, neither brother expects to fall for the same woman. And as their feelings deepen, an already fractured relationship threatens to shatter completely. Jessica came to this city to heal, not to become the center of a battle between two brothers. With her heart still recovering from the wounds of her past, she must decide whether she's ready to love again—and, if she is, which brother deserves the chance. Will she choose the man who offers her stability or the one who makes her heart race? Or will the rivalry between Jay and Damien destroy everything before she can make her choice? Two brothers. One woman. A feud that could ruin them all. In a game where hearts are at stake, someone is bound to get hurt.
