Living Under My Evil Stepbrother's Rule
Juliana has everything that money could buy, at hindi kasama doon ang pagmamahal ng isang magulang. Her mother made sure of that the day she married her stepfather, a man twice her age, in exchange for wealth and status. Kaya naman nang mabalitaan niyang nasawi ang mga ito sa isang aksidente, wala siyang naramdaman na kahit ano. Ni isang patak ng luha ay walang tumulo mula sa kanya. She already lost to money the only family she had, kaya hindi na bago sa kanya 'to. For sure, after going through their burial, she would be back at the all-girls boarding school they sent her away to, and everything would stay the same.
But just when she thought that nothing would ever change, nalaman niya ang laman ng last will ng kanyang ina. To claim her inheritance, kailangan niyang tumira sa iisang bubong kasama ang kanyang stepbrother, her stepfather’s only child from his first wife, until she turns 21 years old.
Ang problema? She just turned nineteen a week ago before their accident! Dalawang taon niyang kailangang magtiis sa poder ng taong pinaka-ayaw niya sa lahat.
At ang mas malaking problema? Their state, the mansion where her stepbrother currently resides, is far from the city and the life that she’s used to! It’s in a secluded area in a remote province! What would her life be like from now on? Hindi puwede ‘to! Mamamatay muna siya bago siya tumira kasama ang lalaking ‘yon na masahol pa sa demonyo ang ugali!
But between hatred, lies, and the forbidden tension she couldn’t name, matutuklasan ni Juliana na may mga bagay na hindi kanyang diktahan, lalo na ang puso.

Chapter: 030Juliana—He wasn’t lying though. Totoo ngang may mga kaibigan siyang inimbitahan na pumunta rito.It was one week after settling in when his friends finally arrived at the mansion. Wala ang mga magulang namin sa kasalukuyan dahil abala sila sa mga kailangang preparasyon para sa kanilang kasal sa Manila.They said that they might be gone for the week, kaya akala ko hindi pa ngayon ang dating ng mga kaibigan ni Kuya Raegan, lalo na’t kaming dalawa lang ang natira rito.But then again, he’s almost of legal age, kaya siguro pinayagan na rin ni Tito Garry ang gusto niyang mangyari.Limang babae at walong lalaki ang nadatnan kong maingay at nagkakagulo sa may sala kasama siya.“Man, I can’t wait to finally graduate high school. Mas maraming magaganda sa college!”“Ang sabihin mo, you already hooked up with every girl in our batch kaya wala ka na mapili.”“You should try the lower batch then.”“The heck? Girls our age are already clingy, paano pa ang mas bata?”“Girls in college were almost

Chapter: 029Juliana—I wanted to brush off his threat.Na sa mga susunod na araw, matatanggap niya rin ang sitwasyon na ‘to, lalo na’t papalapit na ang kasal ng aming mga magulang.Na baka nahihirapan lang siya sa ngayon at nabibilisan sa mga pangyayari, kaya sa akin niya ibinubuhos ang kung anumang galit na nararamdaman niya. Ngunit pagkuwa’y maiintindihan din niya na hindi naman namin kontrolado ang mga bagay na ‘to.His father wanted to marry my mother as well.Oo, gusto ni Mommy na ikasal kay Tito Garry dahil sa yaman nito. Pero hindi naman ‘yon mangyayari kung ayaw din ni Tito Garry sa kanya.I was hoping that he would see that. That him being older than me would make his mind more open about it.Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero umaasa ako na magiging maayos pa rin ang tungo niya sa akin kahit na gano’n ang huli naming pag-uusap.But it was clear to me that right now, the guy hates me.Nang tawagin na ako para sa unang salo-salo namin ng tanghalian dito sa mansyon, nakita kong nakaupo na siya

Chapter: 028Juliana—Napalunok ako.Ayaw niya ba sa akin? Well, it’s clear that he’s taunting me right now, but I still couldn’t understand why.I didn’t do anything wrong to him. I only offered him my food because it was really good and I wanted him to at least have a taste.Did he get offended by that?I bit the inside of my cheek. If only I had more friends than Cairo, ‘di sana may mapagtatanungan ako kung paano ba ang tamang pakikipagtungo sa ibang tao.Paano ko na lang magagawa ang utos ni Mommy na mapalapit sa kanya, gayung mukha na agad itong galit sa akin?“S—sabi po kasi ni… Tito Garry… uh, na iyon na lang raw po ang itawag ko sa kanya,” kabado kong sagot, nag-iingat sa bawat salitang bibitawan. “B—but… if you’re not comfortable with it, Kuya, then I won’t,” I added quickly, hoping to appease him somehow.“Really?”Umayos siya ng tayo. Something flickered in his dark eyes defined by his long and thick lashes. Tulad noong unang beses kaming nagkita, nakakalat ang kanyang buhok sa kanyang

Chapter: 027Juliana—My mother sighed contentedly at Tito Garry’s words.Alam kong matagal niya nang hinihintay ‘to.After she was disowned by my grandparents, she had been eager to find a love match for herself. Isang lalaking handang tanggapin siya kahit na mayroon na siyang anak sa pagkadalaga.Because of that, she began trying… things… with older men.Noong una, hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit. We were fine with just ourselves. It was enough for me to have my mother only. Hindi ko naman kailangan ng kikilalanin na ama.Pero habang lumalaki ako, mas lalo ko ring napapansin ang kagustuhan niyang magkaroon kami ng isang kumpletong pamilya.I do not know the details about my biological father. O kung bakit kailangan naming lumayo sa pamilya ng aking ina.Ang alam ko lang, ayaw na ayaw ni Mommy na mapag-usapan ang kahit na anong tungkol doon.There were so many things I did not know about her. Hindi ko rin magawang makapagtanong, because she would just dismiss me right away.In the end, all she w

Chapter: 026Juliana—I hate him.I hate him.I freaking hate him!After what happened, pakiramdam ko kailangan kong ipaalala nang paulit-ulit sa sarili ko kung gaano ko talaga kaayaw sa kanya para makalimutan ang nangyari.That aside from him being off-limits because he’s my stepbrother, I shouldn’t keep wanting someone who did nothing but torture me and made my life a living hell while I was growing up.That reason alone should be enough for me to stop feeling this kind of attraction towards him.Ano naman kung gwapo nga siya?I could find someone who looks better than him. Iyong pwede at libre! Iyon hindi masama ang ugali! Iyong hindi anak ng kinikilala kong ama sa nakalipas na taon, at mas lalo na, iyong walang fiancée!Marami namang iba dyan. Hindi ako mauubusan!Ano rin kung maganda ang katawan niya?I could also find someone who has a better body than him. To hell with his abs and muscles! Maghahanap ako ng mas kayang higitan ang kanya!Again, hindi lang naman siya ang mayroon niyan. Marami

Chapter: 025Juliana—Now, I understand why Icarus flew closer to the sun.Noong bata pa ako, ni hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit tila sabik ang tauhan na iyon sa lumang kwento na lumapit pa nang lumapit sa araw.He knew the dangers of it. He knew exactly what would happen to him, yet he still did it anyway. He was warned, told everything to prevent him from doing it, but he still went for it.Gano’n ang pakiramdam ko ngayon habang hinahalikan si Raegan.It was so wrong and forbidden.Alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi namin dapat ginagawa ‘to. Alam ko ring alam niya. That this isn’t something siblings, or even step-siblings, should ever do.Mali. Makamundo. Imoral.But both of us felt like Icarus and the sun at the same time. Siya para sa akin, at ako naman para sa kanya.We knew the consequences of what we were doing, but in this moment, it’s as if every voice of reason inside our heads is gone. Ang tanging init at kiliting dulot ng ginagawa namin ang siyang naiwan.He deepened the kiss in a way that

Her Buried Desires
Kaia has always been an obedient daughter. Following and pleasing them was her own way of earning her adoptive parents’ love and approval. But despite her unwavering efforts to make them happy, lagi itong kulang. She always feels like an outsider, lalo na nang mabiyayaan ang mga ito ng totoong anak. When her sister came into the picture, pakiramdam niya ay lalo siyang nawalan ng pwesto sa pamilya.
However, a chance to prove her worth to her family comes when an unexpected proposal lands on her lap—an arranged marriage to a stranger. She is torn at first but eventually agrees to this to prove that she’s willing to go to great lengths just to gain their acceptance. But everything takes an unexpected twist when Kaia discovers the identity of her mysterious groom-to-be: the one and only Aril Verlon E. Adriatico, her first love, who she believed was buried deep within her past. Hindi niya inaasahan na muling mag ku-krus ang kanilang mga landas.
The rush of emotions, old wounds, and unresolved feelings resurface. Will Kaia find the strength to confront her past, which is also apparently her future?

Chapter: 023Truce-Kaia's[present]"Kasalanan ko bang pakalat-kalat 'yan kung saan-saan?"I was even going to put it inside the glove box kung hindi lang nahulog. Kung makaakusa siya, parang nanakawin ko 'yon!"Stop making excuses," inis niyang sagot. Hindi pa rin siya nagsisimulang mag-drive. I could see his jaw clenching from the side. Nakabaling ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay diretso lang ang tingin sa unahan.Napanganga ako. "It was here in my seat! Ilalagay ko sana sa loob ng compartment—""Don't lie to me. It was already inside it!" His knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel tightly.I bit my lip to stop myself from cursing. My cheeks heated, partly from anger and partly from humiliation.Why would I even lie about it? Totoo namang nakakalat iyon!Gusto ko pa sanang ipaglaban ang sarili ko, but he was already set on what he believed. So there's really no point in defending myself. Bakit pa ako mag-aaksaya ng oras sa gagong 'to?Paniwalaan niya kung ano ang gusto niyang pa

Chapter: 022Ring-Kaia's[present]Pero imbes na iyon ang mangyari, I felt a warm embrace envelop me.“This must be hard for you, hija…”Unti-unti kong iminulat ang aking mga mata. But my mind was too stunned that my body froze in place.Hindi ko alam kung ibabalik ko ba ang yakap sa kanya, dahil hindi ko rin naman alam kung para saan iyon.Wait… what did she just say?“I can see it in your eyes. I was once in your place too,” aniya at kumalas sa yakap. Ang kanyang mga kamay ay nanatili sa aking magkabilang balikat.The warmth in her eyes was back now. Pero ngayon, may ibang emosyong humahalo roon.She exhaled slowly and patted me on the right shoulder.“Believe me when I say that it will get better. It’s hard, that’s true. But you will find reasons along the way to love the new life you will soon have.”Wait. Hindi ko pa rin makuha ang sinasabi niya.Nakita niya yata ang kalituhan sa akin kaya napahalakhak siya nang marahan. Her hands moved to hold my palms. Ni wala na akong oras para mahiya ku

Chapter: 021Come-Kaia's[continuation of 015 ; from the present]“I can’t believe that we're finally going to be in-laws!"“Me too, kumpadre,” halakhak ni Daddy at bumaling sa amin ng lalaking katabi ko. “I have never imagined this day would come!”Gusto ko ring maging masaya. I faked a smile when my father’s stare lingered longer than usual.It’s been at least two weeks now magmula nang ma-discharge siya. Ayon sa kanyang doktor, at katulad din ng sabi ni Mommy noong una, it was a good thing na maisugod agad siya sa ospital nang mga oras na ‘yon kaya hindi na nagkaroon pa ng kung anong komplikasyon.Again, I wanted to be happy that he’s finally healthy and well. Kaso hindi ko tuluyang magawa dahil sa katotohanang kailangan ko nang harapin ang lahat magmula ngayon.“The engagement will be announced during the 70th anniversary of The Shire. That would be next week,” sabi ng ama ni Aril na si Frederico Adriatico. Daddy calls him Fredo. “It’s the perfect time, together with the announcement of the

Chapter: 020You-Kaia's[past]No matter how much I tried to forget what happened that day, hindi mawala-wala sa akin ang pangamba at pag-aalala sa nadatnan kong sitwasyon ng mga magulang ko.Daddy told me to go straight to my room, which I hesitantly obeyed. Habang si Mommy naman, narinig kong umalis daw at hindi umuwi ng gabi ring 'yon.Wala sila pareho sa hapag nang mag-dinner. Ani Daddy, may kailangan pa siyang tapusin, kaya sa study na siya kakain.The only good thing? Elyse was asleep during that whole fiasco, at noong mag-dinner naman ay hindi na siya nagtaka na hindi sumabay ang mga ito sa amin. Kung kaya't wala siyang kaalam-alam sa nangyari. Iyong mga kalat kasi ay agad nang ipinalinis bago pa man din siya magising.Wala ring imik sina Nana Ising kahit anong tanong at pangungulit ang gawin ko tungkol do'n."C'mon, Nana. What were they fighting about?" pilit kong tanong kinabukasan nang makauwi ako galing sa practice.Hindi ko na nga halos makausap ang partner ko kanina dahil sa kakaisip

Chapter: 019Dance-Kaia's[past]They say that when you're happy, you get inspired to do a lot of things. So, days go by without you even noticing it.And it was true enough—because I didn't even realize it was already Monday. At tama rin ako sa pag-iisip na mapag-uusapan 'yong nangyari sa party."Kaia! OMG! How are you?" lapit ni Mary Anne, na sinundan naman nina Leigh. Agad nila akong pinalibutan sa aking upuan."We heard what happened. Sana tinawag mo kami," si Arianne, halata ang concern sa kanyang boses.I smiled at them. "I'm fine. You don't have to worry.""That Lara girl is graduating, right?" baling ni Mary Anne kay Leigh. Tumango naman ang huli sa kanya. "The nerve of her! Hindi man lang natakot mapa-disciplinary committee.""It didn't happen in the school grounds, kaya malakas ang loob niya," sagot ni Leigh.Nilingon niya ako. "Hindi pa 'yon tumigil no'ng umalis kayo. She was spewing some bullshits, saying you were leeching off Aril. Gusto na nga sanang sagutin ni Arianne na hindi nama

You're just too humble to admit it.""I don't know how to swim," natatawa kong amin para lang patunayan sa kanya na hindi ako perpekto. Itinabi ko ang sketchpad at pen sa bag.Earl pretended to look surprised. "Really?"Tumango ako."Then I could teach you! I'm from the swimming team, remember?"Pinaningkitan ko siya ng mata. "Baka lunurin mo ako?"Nanlaki ang mga mata niya, then he burst out laughing, kaya natawa na rin ako. "I wouldn't do that to you, Kaia!""Hindi, baka itulak mo 'ko sa malalim...""Hindi nga! I can really teach you," aniya at natatawa pa rin."Okay, but only if I get the will to do so..." sabi ko, na nakapagpangiti sa kanya."Too bad the ball's partner isn't someone you choose," sambit niyang bigla."Why?" tanong ko.

Chapter: Kabanata 10But the asshole didn't call for me.Buong umaga akong tulala at naghihintay ng orders galing sa kan'ya but nothing came. As in ni isa, wala. Kahit sa meeting kaninang alas diyes, ni hindi niya rin ako ipinatawag. Ani ni Marco, siya raw ang sinama ni Sir Polo dahil nasimulan niya na raw attendan ang mga nagdaang meeting para sa project na 'to. Mas 'convenient' daw para sa lahat kung siya muna ang dadalo roon kesa sa akin.I really want to laugh at how ridiculously lame his excuse was. Convenient my ass! Sino naman ang maniniwala sa gan'ong palusot? Ni hindi man lang siya naging subtle sa pag-iwas na ginagawa niya.At dahil wala akong ginagawa, maliban sa maghintay ng maaaring iutos niya, I spent the whole morning trying to devise strategic ways to charm him. After all, iyon naman talaga ang pangunahing objective ko kung bakit ako pumasok sa kompanyang 'to. Bonus na lang ang mga masasagap kong balita o impormasyon na maaaring makatulong sa mga plano ko.Kaya imbes na mag mukmok, inabala

Chapter: Kabanata 9Tumitig lang ito sa kamay kong nakalahad sa harapan niya. His eyes went from my hand then to my face. Nakakunot pa rin ang noo na parang 'di maintindihan kung anong nangyayari.Kung hawak ko nga lang ang phone ko, panigurado ay hindi ko papalagpasin na kunan ito ng litrato. The utter suprise and horror in his face is ridiculous.It took him a couple of minutes before he finally recovered from his shock.Imbes na abutin ang kamay ko para sa isang pormal na handshake, hinawakan niya ito para higitin ako paloob ng opisina niya. He then went to get a remote control, dahilan para maging frosted ang glass walls ng buong opisina niya. Nobody from the outside can see us right now. Ang tanging natitirang wall na walang harang ay sa bandang opisina ko dahil siguro connecting room naman ito ng kan’ya."What the fuck are you doing here?" baling niya sa akin.He loosened his tie na para bang masiyado iyong masikip at nahihirapan siyang huminga."I told you, I'm your new secretary," natatawa kong s

Chapter: Kabanata 8Ilang minuto lang kaming nagpahinga at pagkatapos noon ay ibang posisyon naman. I even lost count of how many rounds we did. Basta ba ang alam ko ay malapit na mag umaga nang matapos kami.Hindi ko rin sigurado kung pa'no kami nakatagal. I thought he was so drunk that he'd passed out after the first few rounds, pero habang mas tumatagal ay para siya lalong 'di natitinag. It was as if he was desperate for water, but there was nothing that could quench his thirst aside from me.And even though I was so tired and sore because of what happened, pinilit kong hindi hatakin o hilahin ng antok. Kahit ang totoo, gustong gusto ko na lamang ipikit ang mga mata ko at magpaubaya sa pagod na nararamdaman.Nilingon ko siya sa tabi ko. Natatabunan ng puting kumot ang katawan naming dalawa. At kahit malawak ang buong kama, sobrang lapit namin sa isa't isa that I could even hear his light snore.Dahan dahan kong inangat ang kamay niyang nakapulupot sa akin. He stirred for a second kung kaya't nanatili

Chapter: Kabanata 7His right hand gently caressed my cheek as I slowly flick my tongue on his velvety head down to his length. I could almost taste and smell at the same time a salty scent with a hint of menthol."Mouth wide open, baby," he growled and I obliged. Para bang hindi sapat sa kan'ya ang dila lang. His eyes were laced with impatient at first, but then it was replaced with approval when I opened my mouth obediently.Without any warning, he hastily thrusted his member into my mouth.For a second, I tried to fight the need to gag it out pero kalaunan ay nasanay din ako. Pilit kong hinahabol ang hininga ko sa bawat sulong niya papasok. And it wasn't even half way inside my mouth, pero para na 'kong maduduwal. The tip of his member is constantly poking my throat in every thrust, as if teasing me that I couldn't take the whole damn thing.I gently cupped his balls with one hand and the other one is responsible for stroking his remaining inches. His deep groans made me clench my thighs while kneelin

Chapter: Kabanata 6Sa unang link, tumambad sa akin ang isang balita mula sa nasabing tabloid ng mga babae kanina. Laman n'on ang pinag uusapan nila kanina.Tungkol ito sa pagka-cancel ng engagement ni Mr. Dela Vega at ang model nitong fiancé dahil umano sa third party.Dela Vega Heir's Engagement Crumbles Amid Roseanne Morales' Alleged Beach Romance!Iyon ang title ng nasabing balita.Nagbigay agad ng statement ang management n'ong Roseanne Morales, na ito mismo ang nag cancel ng engagement dahil hindi niya kayang magpakasal sa lalaking hindi niya mahal.Ngunit dahil sa kumalat na video, halo-halo ang reaksyon ng mga madla at halos doon ay nakikisimpatya sa tanging tagapagmana ng mga Dela Vega.Ani nila, kaya lang nagbigay agad ng statement ang management ni Roseanne dahil may video na kumakalat at guilty umano ito sa pangloloko. Tumanggi namang magbigay ng pahayag ang panig ng mga Dela Vega.Nang pindutin ko ang pangalawang link, automatic na nag play ang video na tinutukoy sa balita. Ilang minuto lang

Nagawa ko ngang mag hintay ng humigi't kumulang labing limang taon para makarating sa kinatatayuan ko, mano bang maghintay ng ilang araw pa, hindi ba? Pero kasi ayon sa surveillance ni Sidro, nasa Palawan lang daw ito.Pa'nong nasa 'conference' 'to sa France kung nandito lang naman pala siya sa loob ng bansa? As much as I want to book a flight para lamang malaman ang dahilan, hindi ko naman basta basta maiwanan ang trabahong nakaatang sa akin dito lalo na't baguhan pa lang ako.Guess this is one of the consequences, huh?
