THE BOOK
Athena started writing this right after she finished her first story entitled, Entangled Destinies. She published the prologue of Unblessed along with the prologue of My Superstar Julalay, right after finishing her first book. Although this is her fourth book in her book numbering, she decided to finish this one first before writing her third book, making Unblessed her second story.

"I chose to write this one before "My Superstar Julalay" simply because this is a short story. Masyado akong matatagalan kung uunahin ko yung MSJ. Since short story lang to, ito na lang inuna ko. Busy kasi ako lalo na pag may pasok na."
When asked about why she wrote this story, she answered that it's just a product of her imagination and at the same time, she is challenging herself.
"This story is purely a product of my crazy imagination, and at the same time, a challenge to myself. Kasi, I know I suck at dramatic moments at mas kaya kong mag-comedy. So this story is supposed to be gloomy and heartbreaking. Kaso sadyang salungat sa nature ko ang supposed-to-be character ni Lisette na madaling magbreak-down. Palaban kasi ako eh. So I failed in that part. But hopefully, maayos ko rin ito."
MAIN CHArACTERS
"Some wounds cut deep enough to leave great scars. And even if it heals, the flesh would never be the same again. Pain made me change. And it's something I cannot control... Something I cannot undo..." She is the woman who has a seemingly perfect life. She has all the riches, the beauty, the glory, the success in career, and all the love from her friends and her loving husband. She is called in various nicknames namely, "Director Lee", "Manager Lee", and "Ma'am Lisette".
She is a strong woman of integrity and loyalty. She is sweet, gentle, kind, and generous. Though she is fearsome when you get her to her bad side. She could be insulting and sarcastic when she gets pissed or just wants you to know that she doesn't like what you said, you did, or you as a whole. |
"Pakiramdam ko hindi ko deserve si Lisette, and I hate myself for that." He is Lisette's husband. Like Lisette, he also have a seemingly perfect life, having all the riches, the gorgeousness, the glory, success in career, and the love from his friends and his loving wife.
He is the romantic type of guy, and likes to tease his wife. He is a man of his words and thus, could be trusted. He never broke a promise to his wife, and that's why she trusts him completely. Nevertheless, like every man, his weakness is temptation with a woman. |
"I cried hard that day.. Ang bangungot na kinatatakutan ko, ngayon kaharap ko na.. Hindi ko rin matanggap, Lisette.. I never wanted to be a mistress.. I never wanted to be a second family again... I never wanted to ruin anybody's family!" She is a sweet, happy, kind woman who is kind of a hopeless romantic. She wishes to have a husband who loves her and have a family of her own. However, she happened to fall in love with the person that she shouldn't have feelings for in the first place.
