She didn’t see the need to register this marriage, as none of them wanted to be married. As the blazing sun beat down on her skin, Cathleen hurried to her car and slumped into the driver's seat. She anxiously awaited her husband's return, feeling the weight of her broken life pressing in on her. As she gazed out at the barren landscape, tears streamed down her face in a torrential downpour, matching the intensity of the scorching heat. Her sobs echoed through the empty car, a painful reminder of how alone she truly was. The only family she had left was her father, but now even he seemed distant and unreachable. At this moment, she felt completely isolated and abandoned by those she loved mos

She barely rested, always tired but never giving up. But through it all, Mama stayed strong. She taught us to work hard and never give up, no matter what challenges we faced. And because of her, we learned to be resilient and face life's obstacles with courage. Even though times were tough, Mama's love for us never wavered. She was our rock, guiding us through the darkest times with her unwavering support. Reflecting on Mama's journey, I felt determined to face the challenges of being a single parent. Mama's strength and resilience were in me, guiding me forward.

What was one more little mess to clean up, if it made her happy? Mother had been a single mom for years, so everything came down to me; taking care of me and picking up waitressing shifts at a local bar, cleaning up the house, shopping for groceries, and anything and everything in between. However, my mother rather do all of that by herself than be stuck in a relationship with someone who didn’t care about me. Because of that fear that someone would have loved us, her dating life had been as dry as the desert until she married Daniel Santini, a widowed Italian emigrant in the Philippines. At least I had some of the best company, though.

"That's what everyone keeps saying." "Because it's true." Her mother's voice softened. "When your father left, I spent a long time figuring out how to be alone. How to be a single parent. How to make a life for us. And then you grew up. You left. And I had to figure out who I was when I wasn't being your mother." Maya's throat tightened. "What did you figure out?" "I'm still figuring it out. That's the thing. You don't land somewhere and stay the same. You keep changing. And the people you love keep changing. And you figure it out as you go."

This child is innocent and maybe, just maybe, this was God’s way of giving me back what I had lost. I knew what it meant. It meant being a single mother in a society that looked down on women without rings. It meant raising a child alone while the father played happy family with his oil heiress. It meant financial struggle, sleepless nights, and the permanent, living reminder of the man who broke me. "I don't care," I sobbed, resting my forehead against the steering wheel. "I don't mind being single all my life if that's what it takes." I drove straight to Stella’s apartment.

Lillian shouted, nodding in pain. "Good," I said as I released her. "But, Mom," she protested, rubbing her ear, "I saw a video online that said single mothers face a lot." "Like how?" "Umm, they said in terms of intimacy—not money, because I know you'll say you have money. What about the other side of intimacy, huh? I heard if someone has had good sex, it always makes it difficult for that person to resist. So, Mom, you need to get married. I need a father. Besides, he looks like your husband, which means the equation balances, Mom!"

Caroline continued, “There might still be flaws even if everything is planned out well. The best solution is to give birth to a daughter without marrying the man. Without getting a marriage license and becoming husband and wife legally, the man won’t be able to take any assets. There won’t even be any shared assets between us from the start.” Belinda said, “Caroline, pretend I never said anything. I still hope you’ll have an ideal partner by your side so you won’t get lonely.” “Why will I be lonely after having a daughter to myself? Being a matriarch is stressful and busy. There are so many things to take care of every day. When will I even have the time to feel lonely? “I don’t have a man I
