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.

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...
