Days passed in a blur of routine. The baby’s first coos, the first feeding, and the tiny milestones that made Kela’s heart swell with pride. Vladimir was there every step of the way, his presence a steady comfort, yet his mind seemed to remain elsewhere at times—far off, lost in thought.

Kela noticed the change. It wasn’t like before, when he was fully engaged, consumed by their baby and the life they were trying to build. Now, there was a distance, a faint tension that never seemed to dissipate.

One evening, after a long day spent caring for the baby, Kela found herself sitting alone on the balcony, the cool evening air brushing against her skin. She looked up at the stars, her thoughts drifting back to the contract, to the promise she had made, and to the woman who still lingered in the background of their lives: Grace.

“Vladimir?”

She heard him approach before she saw him, his footsteps quiet but deliberate. He came to stand beside her, his presence as familiar as ever. She didn’t

    The next few days were a whirlwind of emotions. Kela couldn’t shake the feeling that something had shifted between her and Vladimir. There was a subtle change in the air—an unspoken understanding that things were different now, more real. Yet, despite the reassurance in his words, she couldn’t shake the fear that still lingered. It wasn’t just Grace. It was the unspoken contract, the promise she had made, the future that loomed over them like a dark cloud.Vladimir could sense the change in her too. He tried to reassure her in little ways—touching her arm when they walked together, holding her hand a little tighter in public, giving her a lingering kiss on the forehead before bed. But he also seemed to be preoccupied with something, a distance in his eyes that Kela couldn’t quite place.It was the middle of the afternoon when she found herself standing in the garden, looking out over the horizon.

    The weeks rolled on, and with every passing day, Kela found herself drawn deeper into the life that Vladimir had promised. The uncertainty of the contract continued to hang over them like an invisible thread, but their love was growing stronger, more tangible. It was something she could feel in every touch, in every whispered word, in every lingering look. Yet there were still questions, still doubts, that neither of them had addressed fully.As much as Vladimir’s words reassured her, Kela couldn’t escape the reality of the ticking clock. She knew the contract would end, and with it, a promise that both of them had been trying to avoid facing. What would become of their love, and would Vladimir still want her once the conditions of the agreement were no longer relevant?One evening, after a long day of work, Kela found herself alone in the living room.

There were no more doubts about his feelings—he had proven himself over and over again with every gesture, every touch, every word.The contract still hung in the background, but now it felt more like a formality. She had stopped thinking about it, stopped fearing its consequences. She knew that whatever happened, they would face it together.One morning, as they sat on the balcony of their home, watching the sun rise over the city, Vladimir turned to her with a smile that made her heart skip a beat.“I’ve been thinking,” he began, his voice soft. “About the future. About us.”Kela raised an eyebrow, curious. “What about it?”“I don’t want to wait anymore,” he said, his eyes filled with determination. “I don’t want to wait for the contract to end. I want to make this official. I want you to be my wife.”Kela’s breath caught in her th

    “I am Grace, the mother of Vladimir’s child.” Shock was an understatement. Claire wasn’t able to grasp the situation. She didn't know what to do. “Wh-what are you talking about?” Claire said in a small voice and held her stomach. The mother of Vladimir’s child. Those words kept echoing in Claire’s mind. “I know you’re pregnant with his child too, but he loves me. We both know that he doesn’t love you. You’re just someone who was there because I wasn’t around. So, I am taking back my place.” “I-I…” a tear fell from Claire’s face. She sighed and looked down. “I’ll be going now.” She stood up took her belongings and left the restaurant.

    Claire is about to arrive at Cubao Bus Station. She looked at the busy road of Metro Manila from her seat, where she was facing the bus window. She saw many bystanders—vendors, selling any food or anything they could sell on the side of the road. Traffic enforcers are leading the traffic. People walking on the bridge. I don’t know what will happen to me here in Manila. I don’t know where to start, but I hope to get a job to help my family in Cebu. Claire started looking for a job after graduating from college, and she went to Manila to search for a job. She doesn’t know anyone in Manila, but still, she took the risk and started job hunting. The bus operator announced that they had arrived at the bus station. In a minute, they will alight from the bus. Before going to Manila, Claire asked her friend, who had been in Manila, to search for a bed space. It only cost her a little amount from her savings, so she took the offer.

Claire was panicking. She didn’t know what to do, and she was about to call Gina when suddenly the man cried and hugged her.

    Claire felt that the man’s hug loosened. The moment he let go of her, Claire felt empty. He’s still holding her when he looked at and said “I've missed you so bad, Love. I thought I was not going to see you again. I've been praying for this day to come! Every year, for four years, I've been hoping to see you. To hold you. To kiss you. To make love with you.” The man stopped and sighed. She gasped. “Every year, I've been coming here to this place on the same day at the same time to wait for you. Every year I've been praying for you to come back, and here you are in my arms." Claire felt that the hug tightened again, and his hand slowly touched her face. "I love you, Grace. I still do! And I don't want you to leave me again" The next thing the man did was unexpected. He suddenly kissed her! Claire's eyes widened from the shock she felt. She tried to push the man, but she failed. He’s too tall and too strong for her. Just like how fast she kissed her, that’s how fast his lips a

    The days that followed were a mix of quiet contentment and uneasy thoughts. Kela felt herself pulled between two worlds: one where she allowed herself to hope and feel something for Vladimir, and the other, a world of doubt where she kept her heart guarded. Every time Vladimir held her, or kissed her forehead, or smiled at their child with such genuine love, the walls she had carefully built around her heart crumbled a little more. Yet, each time she remembered the contract, the promise of an end, the fear came rushing back.The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a soft glow across the room where Kela stood, preparing for another day. Her fingers fumbled as she adjusted the baby’s blanket, her thoughts far away. She heard the soft click of the door opening, followed by the gentle sound of footsteps. Vladimir appeared in the doorway, his expression calm but with an unreadable glint in his eyes.“You’re up early,” he said, his voice warm, a smile playing on his lips. His g

    The days following their heartfelt conversation were filled with a strange tension. Kela found herself constantly second-guessing her decision to trust Vladimir. Every time he spoke of the child, or when they spent time together, the weight of their contract hung over her, an invisible barrier that she couldn’t quite ignore.She knew what she had promised: after a year, the custody would be his. It was a deal she had made, but now, each time she saw Vladimir’s eyes on their child, a small part of her felt that ache of uncertainty. Could she really hand over the child after all this time? Could she trust that he would keep his word?Vladimir, for his part, had been making an effort to prove his sincerity. He was patient with her, never pushing too hard. He would hold her hand during meals, kiss her forehead before leaving for work, and spend hours with their child when he was home. He was trying, and Kela had to admit that his actions spoke volumes, even if she couldn’t always put her

    The evening had turned chilly, the cool breeze brushing against the curtains of the living room where Kela sat, her thoughts a whirlwind. Vladimir had been distant since their conversation earlier, lost in his own world, and she couldn’t help but wonder what he was really thinking.She was shaken from her reverie when she heard footsteps approaching. Vladimir appeared in the doorway, his face a mask of indecipherable emotion.“You’re quiet,” he said, his voice low, his eyes searching hers.Kela stood up, her posture tense. “There’s a lot on my mind,” she replied, trying to steady her breathing.He stepped closer, his gaze never leaving hers. “We need to talk. About the child. About everything.”Her heart skipped a beat at the mention of the child. It had been a constant source of tension between them—his desire for the inheritance, her desire to protect her child from the world he wanted to bring them into.“I’ve been thinking about what we agreed on,” she said slowly, her voice stead

    Kela sat by the window, gazing out at the view of the city. The wedding had been beautiful—everything she had ever dreamed of. But now, in the quiet aftermath, the reality of her situation felt heavier than the delicate lace of her dress.Vladimir’s presence beside her startled her, though she had heard his footsteps approaching. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder, the touch warm and reassuring.“You’re thinking too much,” he murmured, his fingers softly kneading her skin.Kela turned to look at him, his deep brown eyes filled with an intensity she couldn’t quite read. His proximity made her heart race. She wanted to pull away, to create distance, but something in her wanted to stay.“I can’t stop thinking, Vladimir,” she whispered. “About the child. About the contract. About everything that’s been… planned for us.”He stepped closer, his breath warm against her neck. “Kela, I never meant for any of this to be so complicated. But it is. I need you to trust me.”The softness in
