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 staring at the ceiling although there was nothing there to look at. I must be going crazy as I am smiling on my own while hugging in my chest the note that Rodney left for me at the bedside table. 


It says: Hey my dolce amore. I know you are tired so I did not wake you up. I will pick Lola up from the hospital. Just stay here and rest. Will be with you again soon. 


Ah.. My heart is fluttering like a teenager. I am aching all over my body but I don’t mind. 


My face felt hot again as I recall how his eyes roamed over my body as he showered me with his kisses. 


‘Oh my-! I’m craving for him again!’ 


I wanted to feel embarrass with my thoughts but I reminded myself that he is my husband and I should have nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, I know that I gave him myself in the context of love.
