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’s cold treatment could rival the chilling weather. If I could just undo everything, I wouldn’t have ruined that moment. 


I wanted to pull my hair in frustration. I was so wrong, I was an idiot for blabbing unnecessarily. Because of what I said, he becomes so cold to me again. He comes home late, will check on Lola, will come to our room, take a quick shower and sleep on the couch. In the morning, he’s gone before I wake up. 


“Mira, should I start frying the rolls?” 


I jolted when I heard Manang Olga’s question. 


“It’s already eleven o’clock.” 


“Oh, why didn’t you tell me sooner?” 


“I told you several times, but you were just staring blankly at the door and would not answer. Your husband will come home, don’t stare at the door too much,” she teased. 


But I know he will come not for me, but for his grandmother.
