Vangie almost held her breath as she read her daughter’s message. She bit her lip and stared outside her store. What should I do? she asked herself. She hadn’t told Bert yet about her plans to process her papers. She’d tried several times, but every time she was about to speak, her words got stuck. She didn’t know how to tell him without hurting him — or making him upset.
She hadn’t expected Bert to come into her life. She had been content just running her little store and waiting for her children. Her plan to follow them to Can

“Vangie!”Vangie stopped scrubbing Bert’s clothes when she heard someone calling her from outside the house. She was in the middle of doing laundry. She frowned because she wasn’t expecting any visitors today. Besides Sheila, the only people who usually came by were delivery drivers — and she hadn’t ordered anything today.“Just a second!”She set the brush down and slowly stood up, holding her waist. Her back had been aching a lot these past few days. She stretched a little and wiped her hands before heading toward the gate. She froze when she saw who was waiting outside.“Aren’t you going to let me in?” the woman asked directly.Vangie swallowed hard and quickly walked to the gate

Vangie’s heart almost broke when she saw her husband with another woman in the field. He had just come home from Manila and said he wanted to work on their land because he missed it. She followed him there to bring him lunch — but never expected to see him with someone else, doing something unforgivable.On her way to confront him, she ran into Fredo’s mother.“Vangie? What happened to you? Why are you crying?” his mother asked, full of concern. She held Vangie’s shoulders and tried to lift her face.Vangie’s face was soaked with tears, and she could barely see. She didn’t care that they were standing in the middle of the road. She hugged her mother-in-law and cried her heart out.“M-Ma… F-Fredo…”

The woman gasped repeatedly, her hands tied to the headboard of the bed. A bathrobe was the only thing covering her body. She bit her lip as she watched the man who captured her receive a blowjob from a woman dressed in black leather lingerie, wearing a butterfly-shaped mask and high-heeled boots.Soon, the masked woman quickened her movements, making the man groan loudly as he reached his peak. Seeing this, the tied woman looked away, biting her lip to stifle her own sounds. A strange sensation built up in her lower stomach from what she had just witnessed.The masked woman then stood up and marched out of the room. The tied woman glanced back at the man—only to find him standing near her feet, completely naked, staring at her with desire.He slowly crawled onto the bed, and she instinctively pressed herself against the headboard to get away. But he grabbed her ankle, pulling her down, causing her bathrobe to slip, revealing her smooth, fair thighs.“S-Stop,” she pleaded when he plac

Evangeline frowned. Her brain seemed to lag at what the man in front of her had just said."They never told me we'd be delivering to someone so beautiful."She looked at him in confusion. She couldn't tell if he was being serious or just flattering her. His grin stretched almost to his ears, and the way he looked at her felt like he was teasing.She was no stranger to compliments. Even at forty-two, her heart-shaped face still held a natural beauty. Her shoulder-length haircut made her look even younger. People often told her she could outshine the younger women in their town. And she believed it—before she got pregnant with her ex-husband’s child, she had been the school's top beauty contestant.Even after giving birth to five children, she never gained weight. She never used beauty products, yet her tanned skin remained smooth.She swallowed hard and looked away, feeling a strange flutter in her chest. She was used to compliments, even ones that were just flattery. But for some reas

Sometimes in life, we think we’re already content—especially as we grow older and have a stable life. Often, all we wish for is to be happy. But as they say… life starts at forty.Ever since Vangie’s encounter with Bert, she couldn’t get him out of her mind. She found out he was Lucia’s son, which meant that even if she didn’t want him delivering to her store, his mother wouldn’t stop him. He had grown up in Manila and had only recently returned to Samar. She tried to ignore him whenever he delivered goods, even though he persistently tried to talk to her. His mother even asked her to just let it go and not pay him any attention.She was convinced he was a little slow in the head.That morning, Vangie went into the city to collect money sent by her children. The remittance center was only available there. Every month, her kids sent her an allowance, even though she constantly told them it wasn’t necessary. The money she earned from her store was more than enough.After getting the mon

It had been fifteen years since Vangie and her husband separated. She never thought she would have another man in her life. For all those years, she had been alone, except for her children. She let their father petition them to live abroad so they could have a better life. Even though she knew it meant being left alone in the Philippines, she accepted it. She didn’t want to take that opportunity away from them.It had also been fifteen years since she last felt her heart beat for someone. The feelings she had for Fredo never came back. From then until now, only her ex-husband had ever touched, hugged, or kissed her. She thought she was done with things like that.Until now…Bert was kissing her.Vangie froze in shock, unable to move. Her eyes widened when she opened them, but Bert’s remained shut as he savored their kiss. One of his arms held her basket, while the other wrapped around her waist. His other hand rested on the back of her head.She wanted to push him away, to slap or hit

Vangie felt like she was transported back in time as she rode on the back of Bert’s motorcycle. She was still shy around him, so she only held onto his shoulder. But before he started the engine, he grabbed her hands and wrapped them around his waist.“What are you doing?” Vangie asked, eyes wide. She felt awkward as her body pressed against his back.“It’s safer if you hold on here. Plus, you get free abs.”Vangie frowned and pinched Bert’s stomach, but to her surprise, it was rock hard. It was like grabbing a stone. Bert flinched slightly, pressing against her even more. She froze when her chest touched his back, making her pull away in embarrassment.“Y-You’re so full of nonsense,” she muttered.“Just hold on properly. You don’t believe me?”Vangie sighed and adjusted her grip. It had been a long time since she last rode a motorcycle, so she finally gave in and wrapped her arms around his waist. She swallowed hard when she caught a whiff of his masculine scent. Something inside her

Vangie tried to forget her conversation with Bert, but ever since then, he kept coming to her house. He never said much—just brought her food. Sometimes, he even helped her open her store. He was serious when he said he would court her.She tried to ignore him, but after his confession, something inside her seemed to come alive. She had to admit it—she was slowly starting to feel something for Bert.“So, this young guy is courting you?” Sheila asked again.Vangie paused from repacking cooking oil and looked at her friend. “Yes! How many times are you going to ask that?” she replied, annoyed.Sheila had asked her the same question five times. They were in Vangie’s store, repacking supplies like cooking oil into small plastic bags to sell for five or ten pesos each. Sheila always helped her with this task.They had been friends for over a decade, ever since Vangie was still studying and hadn’t married yet. That’s why she trusted Sheila enough to talk about Bert.Sheila suddenly squealed

As the days passed, Bert and Vangie’s relationship grew deeper. Bert visited Vangie almost every day — in fact, he often stayed over and hardly went home anymore. Vangie’s friend, Sheila, kept teasing her, saying she looked like a lovestruck teenager again because her cheeks would blush whenever she talked about Bert. Vangie didn’t deny it — she felt the same way. Ever since she and Bert got together, she felt younger and happier.“What? What did you just say?” Vangie asked in shock while they were having lunch at her store.“I said… maybe I should just live here,” Bert replied casually.Vangie put down her spoon and stared at him. “Y-You’re serious? You want to live… here? In my house?” She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and

When they arrived at the farm, Bert left Vangie in the living room for a moment. He sat her down before going out to get their things.Vangie tried to see if she could stand, but she still winced whenever she put pressure on her foot.“Vangie!” Bert called out in surprise when he saw her trying to get up. He dropped their bags by the door and rushed to her. “What are you doing? Why are you standing?”“I-I just wanted to help.”Bert sighed and helped her sit back down. “Just stay put. I’ll take care of everything. I’ll put our things away first, then we’ll take a bath.”Vangie’s eyes widened. Her cheeks turned red at what he said, and she suddenly felt ner

Vangie hurriedly walked away. She couldn't handle what Shane had said. It made her feel like she wasn’t good enough for Bert. What was wrong with her? Her feelings for him were real. Just because she was older didn’t mean her love wasn’t true. And besides, he was the one who showed interest in her first!Tears streamed down Vangie’s face.“You’re so stupid! Why did you even get involved?” she scolded herself. She kept walking until she reached the wooded part of the beach. She suddenly stopped. “Why did I even listen to that woman?” she sighed in frustration.Tears welled up again. She knew she wasn’t Bert’s first love. He wasn’t her first either. In fact, she already had kids from a previous relationship. But she couldn’t understand why S

After their swim, they returned to the cottage. Vangie’s knees wobbled from the cold and exhaustion as they walked. Bert had his arm around her, which didn’t escape Shane’s sharp gaze. His eyes narrowed as if he wanted to swallow them whole. Vangie ignored him and sat in her usual spot.Bert took a jacket from their bag and draped it over Vangie’s back. The cold water had sobered him up a bit from earlier.“I know! Let’s play truth or dare!” Aira suddenly suggested.It was already nighttime, and their drinks were almost gone. Their food was nearly finished, and some of them were already drunk or asleep in the cottage.“Huh? That’s for kids!” Simeon protested.Aira sh

"Bert. So you're here after all.”Bert raised his head. It was as if he suddenly woke up when he saw his former partner. He was sitting in the chair opposite them, between Aira and Brenda. He looked at it without any emotion. He thought it wouldn't come because he heard that it had gone back to Manila."Yes, Shane," Aira answered. "Vangie." Bert's girlfriend.Vangie was slightly surprised when Aira introduced her. She winced when she saw Shane's eyes widen and his sharp gaze on them, especially on her.Shane smiled. "Really?" Have you moved on? "his probing question."Vangie's eyebrows shot up. She didn't like Shane's tone anymore. He stood up and grabbed Bert by the arm."S

The sun had already set when Vangie and Bert arrived at the beach. She was wearing a black tank top and cotton shorts, while Bert wore beach shorts and a white tank top. He was also wearing sunglasses, which made him look even better. They immediately looked for their cottage, which they found at the far end of the beach, near a rocky area.“Bert!” called out some of Bert's old classmates.Vangie took a deep breath. Her heart started beating faster when she saw Bert’s old classmates approaching. There were four women and two men. They seemed to be getting ready, as if they had just arrived. Vangie followed Bert.“Is it just you guys?” Bert asked once they entered the cottage.The cottage was long with a big table in the center. The roof was
