Mira agreed to be introduced as Rodney's girlfriend to his grandmother. None of them realized that they made their lives chaotically intertwined and tangled to each other when the older woman liked Mira and pursued to get them married.

How can Rodney trust her when she has pretensions of her own?

And how can Mira let him go when their expiration date comes, if the only way to let him go is to cut herself open and leave her heart bleeding?

Substitute Lover

I was almost shouting and I am sure my face is already red in irritation but my wife is just sitting there calmly on the passenger seat. 


I’m getting more furious by the minute. 


I understand deep inside that I am just keeping myself angry to cover up the embarrassment I am feeling right now. I know it is unfair, but who wouldn’t get irritated if you are kissing your wife and she will just freeze because of another man’s voice? 


And shit, why did I even kiss her in the first place?! 


"Guy who?" she asked innocently, but I know better. "You mean Zandro? I told you earlier that I just met him there." 


“I am not talking about him! The guy who chased us!” 


“Huh? How would I know? You should have asked him earlier. Isn’t the other guy the bar manager?” 


“The other guy that he’s with! He called you.” 


Argh! I really wanna wring the neck of this woman! 


“Then tell me, why did we run away from them?”
