CW: Physical violence, gore or abuse, Suicide or self harm Laughter. Chatters. Glasses clink. Wine bottles pop. Sizzling iron pots. Conversations mix in layers, surrounding the fancy Japanese restaurant’s tatami and washi walls. The long, low table holds the bountiful, authentic dishes—from well-seasoned tonkatsu and sashimi to udon—luxuriously cut, freshly cooked, steaming with umami as they brush against Nadia’s nose.Her graceful hands hold the knife, pinkies up, cutting through a thin slice of Wagyu beef. Oil stains a section of her crisp...

Would you leave a man who gave you the life you wished? The one who gave you the life your mother always dreamed of but never had?For Gia, it would be rather stupid to walk away from a man who saved her and her family from poverty for good.

You never thought dandelions could be merciless. Letty believed that a hundred percent, and that same belief had found a special place in her brain despite the stabbing pain that swallowed her ankle. Though each step felt like thorns in her sole, she kept her composure intact and her vision steady; her breaths in rhythm with her feet in strides, like a highly depleted Olympian who never knew defeat. Her eyes burned with sweat and tears like her bronzed skin kissed by the midday sun; her mind too frantic to think or care about anything. Even ...

Disgusting. Look at those fools, swallowing plate after plate of food they couldn’t even finish, Onyx told himself, cringing at the sight of thick oils around the people’s mouths. Perhaps the disgust had already reached his head, and he needed to rise from his seat and get another ice-cold beer to ease.

His scarlet eyes shook, wondering why he’d gotten himself here, asking ...

The unusually hot summer day hadn’t stopped the Vincenzos from their special Sunday treat. Pork.No wonder Samuel’s smile was as wide as the mountain ranges behind him, wearing a pair of sparkling eyes full of delight. He worked hard to finally get a kilo of pork, which he knew would make his dear wife and four lovely girls happy. They’d been waiting a month for him to save enough money to get some because pork was a luxury in this part of the barangay. Like having a good beef steak in a five-star fine-dining restaurant. Inaccessible. You mig...
