Notes:* Hindi pa complete ang TDG Book 1 sa Wattpad kasi I'm planning to clean up the manuscript pa. For context, the original TDG Books 1 and 2 on Wattpad were written in chat-style text (na uso sa Wattpad during the 2010s era). If you wish to read the raw manuscript, maraming downloadable online haha
** Complete ang TDG Book 2 sa Wattpad, including the side stories featuring
*** You Won't Hear Me Cry is currently under revision. I will post it on Wattpad once tapos na ako. This is a standalone novella naman so mage-gets mo pa rin ang TDG kahit hindi mo pa mababasa ito.For the After Hours chapters, disclaimer lang: those are my first attempt at writing smut so please expect na medyo cringe!
