“I’m sorry, hon, I couldn’t make it. There was a slight issue with a business deal, and it’s something I have to urgently fix. Don’t wait up for me tonight. I really don’t know what time I’ll be able to come home.”

Demani’s shoulders slumped as she glanced at the dining table, where the dishes she had carefully prepared for the evening were already laid out and waiting. They had been sitting there for a while, awaiting Van’s arrival, only for her to receive a call informing her that he would not be joining her for dinner. She felt disappointed, but she understood. Forcing herself to nod, as if he were right in front of her, she replied.

“It’s okay, honey. Please just don’t go home too late, and don’t drive if you’re too tired. You might fall asleep at the wheel and g

  • ANOTHER DAY ROTTING IN VAIN   CHAPTER 043 - This Isn’t What They Promised

    Demani removed her apron the moment she heard the sound of her husband’s car pulling into the garage. Perfect timing. She had just finished cooking and setting the table for dinner.She tossed the apron onto the clean kitchen counter, stepped into the small restroom attached to the kitchen, and quickly checked her reflection in the mirror. Once she was satisfied with how she looked, she walked out and headed toward the front door to greet Van.Just as she reached the door, it opened.She immediately put on a wide, welcoming smile— but the moment she saw the blank, unreadable expression on Van’s face, her smile vanished.Van walked in, holding his coat in one hand. He gave her the briefest glance before walking past her without a word, head

  • ANOTHER DAY ROTTING IN VAIN   CHAPTER 042 - A Letter Meant for Her

    “I still can’t believe you actually hired me to work here in your company,” Lily said, shaking her head with a small, incredulous laugh. She stood by his desk, arms crossed loosely, her eyes scanning the office in amusement and mild awe. “Honestly, I thought you were just joking when you offered me the job.”Van glanced up from the papers he was signing, the corners of his mouth lifting into a small smile. There was a glint of fondness in his eyes; half amusement, half nostalgia, as he looked at her.“Well,” he said, setting the pen down and leaning back in his chair, “I figured you needed something to keep you occupied while you’re here in the country. And maybe a little structure, too. You always did get bored too easily.”Lily laughed, brus

  • ANOTHER DAY ROTTING IN VAIN   CHAPTER 041 - A Secret Crisis

    Just as she expected, everyone looked for Van.The whole family already knew that their trip to Palawan didn’t push through, so no one bothered asking why he wasn’t with her.As she usually did whenever her husband couldn’t attend family gatherings, she simply told them that Van had something important to do. Which was true. But lately, she had started feeling uncomfortable answering all their questions about him.So that day, to avoid the barrage of questions from her relatives, she quietly slipped into her grandmother Grandma Val’s room. Despite her old age and recurring illness, Grandma Val still managed to get up and greet her with a warm embrace. Her grandmother had been watching a drama series on TV, which she paused upon seeing her arrive.

    The next few days went back to normal for Demani and Van. They were happy again, and everything seemed to be falling back into place.Or so she thought.Well, that was what Demani wanted to believe.But no matter how much effort she put into restoring the closeness they once had, it felt like there was now a wall between them. Something intangible, but undeniably there.Now, she found herself hesitating before doing or saying things around Van, constantly gauging whether her words or actions might upset him again. It was as if she had to walk on eggshells, carefully checking whether what she wanted to say or do was acceptable to him.She had become overly cautious; not out of fear, but out of desperation to avoid conflict.And even though Van would still smile at her and try to show affection, something sti

  • ANOTHER DAY ROTTING IN VAIN   CHAPTER 039 - Not Quite Okay

    It was ten o’clock in the evening again when Van came home. That, too, was nothing new. Somehow, she had gotten used to him returning late at night. She had stopped asking questions because he always gave the same answer.“I went out with some clients.”And she believed him. Of course she did. She knew her husband would never lie to her.“Would you like something to eat?” she asked as he entered through the front door. Unlike the past few nights, Van didn’t smell of alcohol. And he didn’t seem upset.He even gave her a faint smile.“You waited up again,” he said.She tightened the belt of her silk robe. She had been cold for a

  • ANOTHER DAY ROTTING IN VAIN   CHAPTER 038 - Three Days of Silence

    It was Sunday the next day, and they should have been in Palawan by now, probably swimming in the resort pool, if only she hadn’t made that reckless decision the other day.Since they were no longer able to go on vacation, Demani began wondering if maybe she could invite her husband to join the Sunday family get-together instead.That morning, they sat together at the dining table. Van, quiet and composed, settled into his usual seat. He was dealing with a terrible hangover when he woke up, but still, he had gotten up, walked around, and prepared himself for the day.He opened the newspaper as he always did, took small sips from the cup of coffee she made, and ate his breakfast without saying much.It looked like a typical morning.
