Deep Thought Quotes

Catalina Ramirez has always been the subject of gossip on campus—labeled a playgirl not for what she did, but because of what people think they saw. When her long-distance boyfriend left for the Philippines, rumors flew that she cheated with her boy best friend, Aiden. What no one knew was that Aiden was simply protective of her, always by her side, never crossing the line. But to others, closeness easily looked like something more. With striking blue eyes as calm and deep as the ocean, Catalina doesn’t need to lift a finger to catch anyone’s attention. Her beauty is effortless, her voice captivating. As a member of a rising campus band, she sings with a passion that defies the quiet disapproval of her mother. Who has always tried to pull her away from music. Catalina feels it deep in her bones: her mother is hiding something from her, something about her past, something she’s not ready to confront. Then came Logan Axel Tyndall. At first, Catalina thought it was nothing but a harmless crush, an infatuation she’d get over in a week or two. She tried to laugh it off, but soon found herself stalking him, chasing after the way he walked, talked, and carried the world like he knew more than he let on. Before she knew it, she wasn’t just falling... she was drowning in him. But Logan wasn’t just another boy. He held the missing pieces of a puzzle she never knew she was trying to solve. Through him, secrets begin to unravel. Questions long buried rise to the surface.

But her seemingly perfect life with Jackson Park, the heir to Astine Corporation, was nothing more than a cruel illusion created by her greedy family. Their dream wedding was just a way to further their own selfish desires. Ang pagtataksil ng kanyang stepsister na si Nicole Smith kay Jackson, at ang lihim na relasyon nito sa kanyang fiancé, ay nagdulot kay Mina ng matinding sakit at pagkadismaya. Sa gitna ng kanyang paghihirap, isang lihim na relasyon ang umusbong sa pagitan nina Mina at Matthias Park, ang foster father ni Jackson. Their relationship became her strength, driving her to stand on her own and break free from her family’s control. She swore to succeed on her own terms, refusing to let her family’s power shape her future. Her success became the ultimate sweet revenge, exposing Nicole’s lies and taking back her life. Pero paano kung ang inaakala niyang katapusan ng kanyang paghihirap mula sa pang-aabuso ng mga nasa paligid niya ay simula pa lang—the beginning of a truth about herself she never knew? Mananatili ba siyang kalmado, o maghihiganti sa mga taong dapat managot?
