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

Rodney straightened up from bowing under the shower and slowly turned to me. 


I closed my eyes tightly. I cursed as I heard the loud thumping in my chest. 


“Did you change your mind and decided to join me?” 


“I’ll just finish quickly. Can you wear your robe for a while and face the other way?” I asked without opening my eyes. 


I heard him laugh blandly but he fell silent afterwards. 


I waited for a while until I felt him coming nearer. 


“Are you a bitch or what? Sometimes you act like a wench, sometimes you act oh-so-innocent. Can you decide which role you really want to play?” 


My eyes flew open at his words. He’s already wearing a robe and looking at me with a serious tone. I gulped again. 


I went on and turned him away from the shower. He turned his face at me while his lips are trying to suppress an amused smile.
