It all began with a contract she didn't want, a paper she signed with a heavy heart, but accepted for the sake of her family. A decision she never imagined making. She thought that was the end of her dreams?to become a skilled accountant, to have a peaceful life free from worry, and to live without the fear of debt. But all that was shattered because Mr. Gordon de Guzman, a mysterious businessman whom you'd genuinely fear, had other plans?like your boss in a horror movie where you never know when he'll jump out.
She didn't dream of this. She didn't ask for this either.
But one day, fate simply led Gabbi to a familiar yet foreign world?Gordon's mansion. A world of deafening silence, secrets seemingly hanging in every corner, and questions that no one there wanted to answer. Like a grand asylum of mystery.
A contract was put in place. A promise was made. Was there also a curse attached to it all?
In a mansion where time seemed to stand still, where every minute felt like an hour, under lights that offered no warmth, began the story of a young woman and a man who never questioned what was right?because they were both too busy doing what they thought was wrong. Or was it right, in the end?
We don't know. But what we do know is that sometimes, the most important stories begin with things we don't understand, with decisions that seem wrong at first, but lead to outcomes far beyond our expectations.
Autorentext
Author, blogger, spin writer, SEO, artist, designer, all rolled in one -- that's me! I have a thousand and one ideas that is bursting in my mind and I want to share it with everybody. Hoping ang praying that some my of dreams, ideas, fantasies and whatnots can make, in a good way, a big difference in one's life. I consider myself, a jack-of-all-trade, whilst trying to make a dent in our world to make it a better place to live in.
Born in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, Philippines. I've worked for twenty odd years, in 2 leading publishing house in the Philippines (Vibal and Diwa), as a layout artist, illustrator and art director. Somewhere along the line, I established my own DTP shop, specializing in book layout and design. Not long after, I started writing and producing my own e-magazines. My first book, titled "Kritterlund" is all about the world of ants running in parallel to us, and, wheeww, it has been and still is a-work-in-progress for almost 20 years (and running). By then, by offshoot, I started making comic strips out of it (Ants World, Silent Witness, David's Adventure, etc.), and turning it into a humor-fantasy book.
Finally, I discovered that I have this itch for writing. I started writing in social media sites until I said, what the heck -- if I'm this serious in writing, I might as well publish my own books. And thus, the author in me was born. Nope, I'm not a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious author, but just someone who just loves to write. My former boss once told me that I have a talent for writing, so here I am. Of course, and I admit, I have a waaaay lot to learn, when it comes to writing and everything. Ugh! Even my grammar is always faulty. But one thing I'm sure -- I write from the heart. Everything I write comes from the goodness of my heart. That's why, I'm a hopeless romantic ergo I like writing romance-comedy stories, especially with kilig-to-the-bones narratives. Although not everybody will admit it, everyone of us are romantic fools. That's why I love to write love stories that will make a profound impact in one's life.
Uhm, every once in a while, I write non-fiction books, too. But don't hold your breath waiting for a new one.
Happily, writing and producing my own books has become my safe haven.
