Soma Julius Cruz

Sakura Suzuki has always prioritised her friendship with Mia Yoshino, even when it meant burying her own heart. In their second year of college, both girls fall for Haru Soma, but when Mia confesses her feelings, Sakura chooses loyalty over love, silently stepping aside to help Mia win his affection. Years later, on Mia and Haru’s wedding day, the carefully constructed facade shatters. In a shocking turn of events, Haru kisses Sakura—the maid of honour—and confesses a long-hidden truth: "It was always you, Sakura," he said softly, his voice rough. "I've always loved you. Not Mia. You." Guilt and longing consume Sakura as she grapples with the revelation. That night, she makes a wish at 11:11—and wakes up nine years earlier, back in college, on the day she first met Haru. Given a second chance, Sakura is determined to claim the love she sacrificed—but rewriting the past is far more complicated than she imagined. Her choices start to unravel everything she once knew. Friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and Sakura must confront the painful truth: Pursuing her own happiness could cost her everything she holds dear. Will she find the love she's always dreamed of, or will her second chance destroy the very life she hoped to protect?

" Survival of the Fittest", a phrase which we hear many times in our life, is applicable in every domain of life. ---- Julius didn't know why he got selected, why was he given such power. Maybe he was lucky, or maybe the gods above wanted to play with his life. He was never an optimistic person. But for once, for once, he wanted to look at the positive side........ ---- Rachel always assumed that whatever happened, happened because it was written in their fate. She was a firm believer in destiny. A logical person, if you would say. But then she met someone who defied fate and defied logic in front of her own eyes and her world turned upside down.......... ---- Mustafa was a lone wolf, not due to choice. But due to circumstances. He longed for a companion, but never let it known to others. He learnt through the hard lessons given by life that trust is not something which should be given freely. But when a hand extends and tears through his fabric of loneliness, offering friendship, what can he do but accept it......... ---- Let us together embark on this journey of three lives, intertwined with each other by fate...... //// Author's Note:- I got sick and bored of reading the same system troupe, again and again, so I decided to do something about it....... I hope you will like this novel.... So, meet you in the novel Sayonara...

He was Joaquin Dela Cruz, a Filipino exchange student. His excitement turned into unease when he finally met Lianhua Zhang, the daughter of his host family. Cold and distant, she made it plain that she didn't want him around. And when she muttered something about him not being the first Filipino student to come here and that the last one hadn't exactly been a success either the tension started to rise. This search for unscrambling truth involves Joaquin in the old secrets, family feuds, and cultural expectations that bound him close to Lianhua. At Henan University, where both of them must spend time together, sparks are ignited between the two, as are misunderstandings, clashing ideals, and an undeniable attraction they cannot resist. She would then reveal, within the course of this history, a painful past that once comprised a forbidden love between a Filipino student and the local girl: heartbreak, the loss of dignity when love ends in shame and despair. In a family where such happened before, it is not supposed to happen again. And yet, through everything here, Joaquin and Lianhua are inescapably attracted to one another above and beyond everything. But when an unexpected betrayal exposes their growing relationship, Joaquin must make an impossible choice: fight for love or leave before he is forced out of China forever.

``` —¡Feng Tianyi! ¡Tu hermano destruyó mi familia Tang! ¿Hay algo bueno en tu familia? —exclamó con ira. —En. ¿No ves cómo nuestros buenos genes se transmiten a nuestros hijos? En cuanto a la deuda de la familia Feng, te la pagaré —dijo con despreocupación. Tang Moyu se rió con desdén y cruzó los brazos sobre su pecho. —¿Cómo piensas pagarlo? —¿Qué tal si te reembolso con mi cuerpo? ... ¡Qué sinvergüenza! El hombre sentado en su silla de ruedas estalló en una carcajada al ver su fea expresión. —Señorita Tang, no tiene sentido que pretendas que no lo has visto ya que prácticamente te subiste a mi cama y te aprovechaste de mí. Hace cinco años, Tang Moyu era la emperatriz del mundo empresarial y estaba en la cima de su carrera antes de ser reducida a nada cuando su prometido se enamoró de otra mujer. Eso estaba bien, ya que no había amor entre ella y Feng Tianhua, pero ¿quién hubiera pensado que esta ‘Cenicienta’ era un lobo con piel de oveja? Luego está Feng Tianyi, el infame sucesor de la familia Feng, un autor aclamado por la crítica que constantemente sacudía la lista de los más vendidos con sus libros. Los rumores dicen que era de carácter fuerte y temperamental. Era tan despiadado que ni hombres ni mujeres querían su compañía. Los rumores incluso dicen que su rostro era tan bello y fuera de este mundo. Era prácticamente un dios entre los hombres. Era una lástima que estuviera incapacitado. Los dos nunca debían encontrarse de nuevo, pero un par de dulces pequeños bollos intervinieron. —Tío, no tenemos dinero para pagarle por los daños —dijo el mayor de los Pequeños Bollos. —Mis manuscritos no tienen precio —respondió este tío apuesto con diversión. —Tío, si no te importa, ¿podemos pagar con nuestra Mami? Ella también es invaluable —propuso el pequeño. Y así el par de dulces pequeños bollos y el tío apuesto llegaron a un acuerdo, pero ¿quién hubiera pensado que la mujer en cuestión era una reina helada del infierno que tenía una extraña afinidad por los dulces? — Editor/corrector: ninaviews Portada del libro: Bizzybiin / derechos de autor 2020 anjeeriku ```

However, this has a dark side: unethical human experiments. 17-year-old Akira Cruz, the genius nephew of the president of the Philippines, was in the middle of grieving for his late best friend when he stumbled upon an abandoned orphan boy in the mountains while on a hike with his younger sister.

Together, the two boys team up with a detective named Toshi Kawasaki, a half-Japanese, half-British who specializes in the supernatural and also considers the murder case of Akira’s best friend open despite the police closing it due to a lack of evidence. The three of them believed that Kara Tech was somehow connected to the disappearances of various children in and around the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As they go and solve cases, their friendship blossoms, especially when two people, Riho Yoshihara, Akira's childhood, biracial friend, and Htet Kawa, a half-Japanese, half-Burmese junior detective from Yokohama, come along in their various missions, both involving the supernatural and the overworld. Will they stop the organization from committing more heinous crimes before it’s too late? Warning: the photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!!!

Julius didn’t know what to expect when he stood in front of the grandiose gates, luscious fields, and beautiful students dressed in their pristine uniforms looking like a million bucks. He told himself that he wouldn’t get involved with anyone and that he’d keep his head down since the chances of him moving again were quite high. He didn’t expect to find himself to be so entranced with the dorm leader Agares Montgomery, the most handsome boy he’d ever seen. “So what’s Agares really like?” Julius asked. Silas grinned mischievously. “That’s a tough one.” Julius noticed the sly smile on Silas’s face and realized he’d been teased. “Just kidding~” Silas said, chuckling. “Well, Agares is a bit of a mystery. He’s strict but has a laid-back side too. He’s cold most of the time but can be surprisingly kind in rare moments?” Julius couldn’t help but laugh at the contradictory description. “Why do you make it sound like you’re unsure?” “Because he really is a puzzle. He’s not a bad guy, though. He keeps to himself and mainly communicates through the vice leader, Epaphras. He’s insanely popular, not just here but at Saint Ambracia Academy too. There have been incidents where girls from the academy tried to sneak into East Laurence just to see him. It’s crazy.” “Anyway,” Silas said, “you probably won’t interact with him much unless absolutely necessary, so don’t stress too much about it.” That should’ve been the case, and yet, he found himself interacting with the dark haired boy more and more, his admiration slowly started to change into something more. “Do I like him?” He couldn’t help but ask himself. ………………….. Avondale, a city of privilege and prestige, high school junior Julius Loriana steps through the grand gates of East Laurence Preparatory School, a renowned institution for the elite.

But everything changes when he crosses paths with Agares Montgomery, the enegmatic dorm leader of House Ares. With his striking looks and effortless charm, Agares captivates Julius in ways he never expected. As Julius grapples with his resolve to remain detached, he finds himself drawn into a whirlwind of emotions that transforms his mundane existence into something exhilarating. Follow the love story between a shy boy and his socially inept senior as they navigate through the pains of love, friendship and the hell that is known as high school. …………………………… A little extra note: This is a sweet love story, a bit of a slow burn but definitely worth getting into.. Each chapter includes a song and I would definitely recommend you listen to the song (on low volume of course) while reading. You get to feel the full Julius Loriana experience by listening to the music he’s also listening to with each chapter. If this story happens to curry your fancy, then please give it a try, I promise it won’t disappoint (≧∀≦) !
