Is Life Just A Dream

Ella never imagined her life would turn out like this. Running away from the man she had fallen in love deeply, carrying a secret inside of her.

Not knowing who to trust anymore, Ella finds her thrown into a world of betrayal, lies and danger.

She's Penelope Gabrielle Avery. She's the famous, gorgeous, and rich heir of Avery Corporation. She got it all- Looks, Fame, Wealth, Brain, name it all, but one thing seems to be missing. The Campus Queen crown. It has been her dream since she was young. And now that she's a step closer to winning it, she will do everything she can to achieve it. He's Zachary Hestrone Austin. He's an orphan and he lives independently. But beyond his sad fate, he enjoys his life- being a campus journalist, a Starbucks part-timer and a scholar. He will do anything to live especially now that his scholarship is at risk. She needs him. He needs her. Two goal-diggers born in two different lives. Will love help them find their way towards a happily ever after? Or will their differences hinder them from achieving their goals?

"Kiss me." My eyes widened as my throat ran dry. His lips were inviting but I knew I was walking straight into trouble. "Stop this, Khalil." He came closer, backing me up against the wall, "I said, kiss me. Or no answers." -•- Life goes into sudden crumbs for Kezie when Khalil Ahmed, his rival and arch enemy takes his lips under the warm showers of the boy's locker room. For some stupid answers about what he had said the last night when he was drunken to stupor. But he knows deep down, that Khalil is using his body to invite him in slowly irrespective of what their society believes in. He knows it's a dangerous game. But why does he keep getting succumbed into his kisses? Why is he always begging for more?

My husband's first love posted a video on her social media. In the video, the two of them were passing a playing card with their lips. When the card fell, their lips met in a kiss. They didn't stop—lost in the moment, they kissed passionately for an entire minute. Her caption read: [Still the same clumsy piggy! PS: Steve's skills are as good as ever!] I quietly liked the post and left a comment: [Congrats.] The next second, my husband called, yelling at me furiously, "No other woman is as dramatic as you! I was just playing a game with Lanie. Why are you acting crazy again?" It was then that I realized seven years of love meant nothing. It was time for me to leave.

Kong hindi ka lang buntis nong time na pinakasalan ka nya hinding-hindi ako papayag na kayong dalawa magpakasal ng araw na yon, tapos ano? Dahil sa katangahan mo nakunan ka! And now I want you to stay away from my son at wag na wag kang mag papakita ulit sakanya!" "No, I love Elthon, Tita. Hinding-hindi ko sya hihiwalaya--" "Kung gusto mo pang makita ang mga magulang mo, susunod ka sa sasabihin ko."
