Daphne let out several deep sighs before leaving her spot. The guard followed her since she was carrying cash. It was her second day as a cashier. She had chosen to go back to work instead of staying idle. She didn’t want to rot in the house. At least here, she was happy. She could talk to people, too.

She was off early today. Just eight hours of duty.

She stopped by the market to buy something to cook. Amelie would be home later. It would be better if the food was ready when she arrived.

She smiled when she saw the chicken vendor. As usual, she was loud—nothing had changed.

“Hey! Long time no see!” the woman said when she spotted her.

“Sales doing well?” she asked with a smile.

“Of course! It’s me, after all.” The vendor smiled sweetly at her. “How much do you need?”

“Just half. There’s only two of us.”

She chopped the chicken and weighed it.

“That’s a little extra, so you’ll have to pay extra,” she chuckled.

Daphne shook her head and handed over the exact amount as shown on the di

    DAPHNE woke only when her mother knocked.“Anak, I’m going to the next village. We’re going to attend a wake,” her mother said as she opened the door for her, still half-asleep.“What time will you be home, Ma?”“Maybe around dawn. Keep the door locked. Don’t open it right away. Got it? Even if your husband’s outside, it’s still not safe.”“Ma…”“Why haven’t you two made up yet? He seems like a good man. You’re both making things harder than they need to be—especially him, standing guard like some night watchman. Don’t you feel sorry for him?”“Let him wear himself out first, Ma. If it’s meant to happen, it will.”“I get it. But what if someone else comes along in the next few days? Would you be okay with that?”“Then he doesn’t love me. That’s it.”Her mom nodded at her again.“Alright, I’m leaving. Just eat something. I cooked chicken soup.”“Okay, take care.”She walked her mom outside. She’d still close the gate after.She glanced at the makeshift shelter across the street. Her h

    “WHAT?!” he snapped as his friends burst into laughter.He was already hurting, and now they were mocking him. Some supportive friends they were.They had just arrived in Manila and were now at the Spotlight helipad.“You actually know how to kneel, and you still have Amber? Damn! How’s your wife gonna take that?” Kevin laughed.“You fool! He loves his wife, so let him be. Soon my island will be mine. For real!” Rixi chimed in, grinning widely.“Knock it off! You don’t know how I feel, so shut up!” he said, standing and grabbing the leather jacket he’d left on Paul’s couch earlier.“Legit?” he heard Paul ask the others. It was the first time he’d ever walked out.So that was it. They came along just to tease him. They said they’d support him. Turns out, they had a secret bet going on.He remembered his wife’s words. He wasn’t giving up. Never. He’d win her back, bring her home. She’d return to him, whether she wanted to or not.He sped out of the parking lot, needing to clear his head

    “WHAT ARE YOU doing here?” she asked as she and BK came face-to-face.She glanced at her husband’s friends who were also approaching their gate. Only Max stood blocking BK. Her mother kept shifting her gaze between her and BK.“I came to pick you up, baby.”“Baby your ass!” she heard Max snap, eyes fixed on BK. BK gave Max a brief glance before turning back to her.“Can you move out of my way? I came here for my wife, not for you. And I have no plans to argue with anyone.”“I’m not moving unless Daphne says otherwise,” Max replied firmly.“Sorry, hijo. Who’s your wife here, anyway?” Her mom had her hands on her hips now, which made her swallow.BK’s tongue got caught in his throat at her mom’s question.“‘Ma,” she said quietly.Her mom only glanced at her, as if telling her to let it be because she’d handle BK.“D-Daphne,” BK replied.“Huh? You’re my daughter’s husband? You sure about that? Then why is Max always by her side? Don’t treat me like I’m dumb, kid! You all better go back w

    “DO YOU WANT me to buy you anything from town?” her mother asked as she came closer.“Nothing, Ma. I already bought everything yesterday.”“Is that so? Alright, I’m leaving now. There’s food over there. Just eat if you get hungry.”She nodded at her mother. Later, she walked her to their gate.Her mom said she’d go grocery shopping because they were out of a few essentials. But really, the list wasn’t that long. Actually, she could’ve bought them from the next house where there’s a small store, but the goods there are more expensive. Maybe her mom had another reason for going. She was supposed to do the shopping yesterday, but her mother insisted she shouldn’t, afraid it might harm the baby in her womb.Ever since they found out she was pregnant, her mom wouldn’t let her lift anything heavy. Sweeping, cooking, and doing the dishes were okay, but fetching water from the well? Off-limits.Well, the well she meant was three houses away. That’s quite a distance. That’s why she sometimes j

    “LOVE, IS THERE a problem between us?” BK looked at his girlfriend Amber when she asked. “N-none,” he replied softly and took a sip of wine. He was thinking of Daphne at that moment. He and Amber were now in the house he shared with his wife. He shouldn’t have come back here, but Amber insisted. It felt like he couldn’t stay long in this place, especially in his room, even in the old room his wife used to occupy. Ever since his wife left him, he felt empty. He missed her presence. He’d felt this before, but he never really understood it. He saw her in every corner of the house. Sometimes, he thought he was going crazy, imagining his wife kissing him, sometimes even making love to him. He lost interest in other women, even in Amber. Why did Amber have to come back? She messed up everything between him and his wife. He never expected Amber to say yes when she re-entered his life. She simply declared they were back together, even though years had passed. He felt happy at first. But
