“Good demonstration,” sabi ni Marcelo matapos akong baliwin ni Enzo sa bawat hawak niya habang ipinapakita kung paano ako dapat i-pose sa harap ng camera.

Hindi ako nakagalaw agad nang binitiwan niya ang bewang ko. Ramdam ko pa rin ang init ng palad niya sa balat ko, parang naiwan ang bakas ng bawat daliri niya kahit wala na roon ang kamay.

“Atlas,” Marcelo said, without taking his eyes off Enzo. “Try it exactly like that.”

Enzo stepped back toward the monitor, his face unreadable, pero ang mg

  • Behind Closed Doors With My Stepbrother (Lust)   37. The Marriage Plan

    Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. “Ano?”“Not the big wedding. Not in front of them.” His voice grew stronger, more urgent. “Secret. Just us. Somewhere away from this island’s eyes. A real one. Where I can promise you in front of God or whoever is listening that I choose you. Not the Montemayor name. Not the power. You.”Kumalabog nang malakas ang puso ko sa dibdib ko. “Enzo… hindi pa tayo handa. Paano si Mama? Paano kapag nalaman nila?”“I know it’s crazy. I know the timing is shit.” He cupped my face again, eyes intense. “But I’m tired of hiding, Amara. Tired of pretending I don’t want a future with you. If we wait for the perfect moment, it might never come. This island will take it from us.”I searched his eyes. There was fear there too.“Secret marriage…” I whispered, testing the words. Parang nakakatakot pero parang may liwanag din.Yumakap ako sa kanya, not because I fully believed everything would be okay, but because for that moment, gusto kong maniwala.Humiga lang kami, still tangle

  • Behind Closed Doors With My Stepbrother (Lust)   36. Marry Me

    “I’m not an outsider. My mother is marrying Marcelo.” Kumuyom ang kamao ko. “Exactly. Which makes this…” She gestured between me and Enzo. “Even messier. Imagine the scandal if photos of this little hallway moment got out. Or worse — if dear Carmelle found out her daughter is spreading her legs for her future stepson.”“Watch your mouth,” babala ni Enzo.Ngumisi si Ysabel. “Or what? You’ll choose her over everything? Over your father’s plans? Over Vienna?” She looked at me again, eyes gleaming. “She’s coming soon, you know. And she doesn’t share what’s hers.”Nasusuka ako sa kaba. Biglang parang malayong panaginip na lang ang treehouse. Dito, sa Lust Estate, everything was poison wrapped in gold.“Ysabel,” Enzo said, stepping forward. “If you say a word—”“I won’t. Not yet. I like watching things burn slowly. But Amara…” She met my eyes directly. “Enjoy him while you can. Because when the wedding happens, and when the real games start… secrets like this? They have a way of destroyin

    “Good demonstration,” sabi ni Marcelo matapos akong baliwin ni Enzo sa bawat hawak niya habang ipinapakita kung paano ako dapat i-pose sa harap ng camera.Hindi ako nakagalaw agad nang binitiwan niya ang bewang ko. Ramdam ko pa rin ang init ng palad niya sa balat ko, parang naiwan ang bakas ng bawat daliri niya kahit wala na roon ang kamay. “Atlas,” Marcelo said, without taking his eyes off Enzo. “Try it exactly like that.”Enzo stepped back toward the monitor, his face unreadable, pero ang mga mata niya… nanatili sa akin. Parang sinasabi niyang akin ka pa rin.Atlas took his position beside me. His hand landed where Enzo’s had been.The photographer took the shot. “Beautiful,” he said. “Much better.”“Very good.” Marcelo smiled faintly, pero may kung anong matalim sa likod ng ngiti na iyon. “Now let’s make it more intimate.”Biglang nawalan ng hangin ang veranda.Atlas’s hand stiffened on my waist. Enzo’s eyes sharpened from the side.“More intimate, sir?” tanong ng photographer.“Y

  • Behind Closed Doors With My Stepbrother (Lust)   34. The Wrong Touch

    Kinabukasan, hindi ako ginising ng alarm.Ginising ako ng tanong ni Marcelo.Is there something between you and my son that I should know?Paulit-ulit iyong bumalik sa utak ko habang nakaupo ako sa harap ng vanity mirror, surrounded by strangers touching my hair, my face, my skin.Last night, I said no.Hindi ko alam kung paano lumabas sa bibig ko ang sagot. Hindi ko rin alam kung naniwala ba si Marcelo.“Ma’am, chin up po.”Napakurap ako nang itaas ng makeup artist ang baba ko.“Sorry,” I whispered.Sa likod ko, may dalawang stylist na abala sa rack ng gowns. May garment bags, boxes of jewelry, perfume bottles, and people moving around me like my body was no longer mine.Today, I was the girl who had to stand beside Atlas De Silva and pretend she wasn’t thinking about Enzo Montemayor’s mouth on her skin.“Ang ganda ng skin mo, ma’am,” sambit ng makeup artist. “Almost no need to cover anything.”Bumaba ang brush niya papunta sa may collarbone ko, then stopped.Humigpit ang kapit ko sa

  • Behind Closed Doors With My Stepbrother (Lust)   33. His Father Noticed

    “Enzo…” Halos hindi lumabas ang boses ko. “Alam ba ng daddy mo?”His jaw tightened as he locked his phone. “No.”“How can you be sure?”“Because if he knew, Thiago wouldn’t be the one messaging me.”Mabilis akong bumangon mula sa picnic mat, pero nang tumayo ako, nanghina ang mga tuhod ko. Enzo caught my waist before I could stumble.“Careful.”Mabilis akong umiwas sa hawak niya. Not because I didn’t want him touching me, but because I wanted it too much.“We need to go back,” I said.“I know.”Mahina pa ring kumikislap ang picnic lights sa pagitan ng mga palm trees. The sea was still calm. The moon was still beautiful.But everything felt different now.Kanina, this island felt like a secret made only for us. Ngayon, parang may invisible hand na humihila sa akin pabalik sa reality. Pabalik sa Lust Estate. My fingers shook as I fixed my dress.Tahimik na pumuwesto si Enzo sa likod ko at tinulungan akong isara ang zipper. His knuckles brushed my spine, and I hated the way my body stil

    “Enzo, sino ’yon?” Enzo brushed his thumb along my cheek. “Stay here. Put something on, Amour. I’ll answer the door.”“Don’t open it!”He kissed my forehead. “Trust me.”Mabilis kong inabot ang dress ko sa sahig habang isinusuot ni Enzo ang shirt niya.Hindi niya inayos ang magulong buhok niya. His lips were swollen, his neck marked by something I didn’t even remember leaving.Muling may kumatok. “Sir?” Boses ng lalaki ang narinig ko mula sa labas. It was Thiago! Nanigas ako sa kama, halos sumabog sa kaba ang puso ko.Binuksan ni Enzo ang pinto just enough para siya lang ang makita. Nakatayo si Thiago sa maliit na landing, calm as always, hindi man lang sumilip sa loob.“Sir,” Thiago said calmly. “Lunch is ready.”Lunch? I blinked.Enzo nodded. “Give us a minute.”Nang tuluyang makaalis si Thiago, saka lang ako nakahinga.Isinara ni Enzo ang pinto at humarap sa akin.“Come,” he said, taking my hand.Hindi na ‘ko nakipagtalo at sumunod na lang sa kanya pababa ng treehouse. Pagdatin

    “Atlas De Silva!” ulit ng host.Mula sa kabilang bahagi ng pavilion, umakyat si Atlas sa stage.Nanigas ang likod ko. Ngayon ko lang talaga naisip ang ginawa ko.“Ladies and gentlemen!” Nag-ingay ulit ang host. “Please welcome tonight’s chosen heir!”Lumakas na naman ang hiyawan nang makatayo si At

    “What the he*ll is this?” Nalaglag ang panga ko nang makita ang paligid ng island the moment Eli and I stepped out of the mansion.Dalawang helicopter ang umikot sa himpapawid bago dahan-dahang bumaba sa private landing area malapit sa mga bangin.Kasabay noon, nakahilera sa malayo ang mga luxury y

    “Think you can handle me in your mouth, Amour?”Bumaba ang tingin ko sa ti*te niya at agad nanikip ang lalamunan ko.My eyes slowly traced the prominent veins along his length habang halos manginig ang mga daliri ko sa kaba at curiosity.“I…” Napakagat ako sa labi. “Never ko pang na-try s-sumubo.”

    “And lock the door.”My heartbeat slammed violently against my ribs.Mariin kong kinagat ang ibabang labi habang nanginginig ang kamay kong inabot ang doorknob sa likod ko.The sound of the lock echoed softly inside the dark room. Lalong uminit ang hangin.Matalim siyang ngumisi. “Good girl.”Nanlam
