First Book of the Orchid Trilogy **** (Excerpt) "Diyan ka lang!" Napa-urong ng upo si Deirdre at napayakap nang mahigpit sa bag. "Bakit mo ba ako sinusundan? Ano ba'ng gusto mo?" "Gusto kita, Orchid!" **** (Blurb) One afternoon, Deirdre stopped a thief from stealing an apple in a random fruit stand. Despite Santiago's extreme rudeness towards her, Deirdre still showed him the slightest act of kindness a cold and apathetic girl like her could possibly offer. Who knows from that simple act, Deirdre unknowingly, unintentionally, and unwillingly tamed the ferocious beast inside of him. The worst part, she wasn't ready for what's to come next. **** Genres: Teen Fiction, Mystery, Slice of Life PS. My story is written in Filipino and English (Taglish).
