*****

Nausicaa Renae Gomez thought she had it all--a first love that felt like forever, a boyfriend who cherished her, and a future full of promise. But when Xander's betrayal shattered her world, Nausicaa vowed to never again fall prey to cheaters.

But fate, as it often does, had other ideas. The unexpected Zachary Lozano enters Nausicaa's life and puts her defenses to test. With his piercing gaze and gentle touch, he awakens feelings she thought were long buried. But can she break free from the chains of her past, or will they forever hold her back?

Through heartbreak and redemption, Nausicaa embarks on a journey to illuminate the darkest corners of her soul. Will she find the courage to rekindle the spark of love, or let it fade into darkness?

Craving the Thorns (Monforte Series #1) (COMPLETED) by lustrouspluma
53 parts Complete Mature
In a garden full of roses, how many of us cared for a single thorn? Whenever we glide on every single rose, we hate it when our dress gets caught up by a thorn. But you say it's your favorite? How much pain can you endure by accepting that every single rose has multiple thorns that can prick you, hurt you, and leave you wounded? For Hardin Grathia Costan, the thorns should be hidden. It should be buried and should never see the light of day. Iyon ang palaging utos ng kaniyang boyfriend. Kapalit ng lahat ng naitulong nito sa kaniya simula nang mawala ang kaniyang mga magulang. Sa pag-aaral at sa buhay na meron siya ngayon. Ayos lang sa kaniyang sumunod palagi sa utos. After all, everyone loves roses, their petals, and their sweet scent. Everyone yearns for perfection. Hindi tinatanggap kung hindi perpekto. Iniiwan kapag hindi sumusunod. She's so used to being the perfect girlfriend. The obedient one. A trophy. Her boyfriend can make her do a lot of things that even she, herself, cannot imagine doing. Change the way she dresses? Stop listening to her favorite artists. Even zip her mouth while he cheats? Okay. But when an unexpected thing happened, her boyfriend needed the money to save his grandmother, his only parent growing up. He traded her for millions. And now, she needed to be a girlfriend for someone she didn't even love. His boyfriend's boss, Flame Augustus Monforte. By the hopes that someday, all of her sacrifices for him would be reciprocated. But how is that Flame able to take out the thorn from the rose I built? I thought it was supposed to be hidden. It should be buried, right? Never to see the light of day? Why am I confused all of a sudden? I am giving him the rose that everyone wants but... why is he craving for my thorns? Started: May 9, 2023 Ended: December 26, 2023
