The Billionaire Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim CHAPTER 17
DAME’S POVPag-uwi ko, scotch lang ang naging kasama ko. I needed to numb the feeling. I needed to erase the image of her face in that hallway. Pero gaya ng sumpa, dumating siya.Nakasandal ako sa counter nang pumasok siya. She looked tired, her hair a bit messy from the day. But still looking very pretty.“You’re making it sound like I’m a dictator,” biro niya.Kung alam lang niya. Kung alam lang niya na bawat utos ko sa kaniya ay paraan ko para hindi ako mawala sa sarili. I challenged her. I wanted to see how far she would push.“And who is right for me, Damien?” tanong niya.The air in the kitchen turned heavy. I walked toward her, my heart hammering against my ribs. I wanted to say Me. Only me. Pero pinigilan ko. I reached out, my fingers trembling slightly as I tucked a strand of her hair. Her skin was so warm, so real.“No one,” I whispered.I saw it then—the crack in my own wall. I was falling, and I was taking her with me. I had to stop. I withdrew my hand as if I had been bur

XAVI'S POVBuong hapon, hindi mawala sa isip ko ’yung eksena sa hallway. The way he looked at Mark, the way he claimed my time as if it belonged to him.Pag-uwi ko sa bahay, sinalubong ako ng tahimik na salas. Our parents were out for a business dinner, leaving the two of us alone again. Pumasok ako sa kitchen para kumuha ng tubig, only to find Damien there, leaning against the counter with a glass of scotch in his hand.He looked exhausted. His tie was loosened, his hair messy as if he had been running his fingers through it all day.“You’re home. Good,” he said without looking at me.“Sabi mo umuwi ako agad, ’di ba?” sabi ko, trying to sound casual as I opened the fridge. “I followed your orders, Boss.”Narinig ko ang mahina niyang pagtawa—isang tunog na bihira ko nang marinig mula sa kaniya. “You’re making it sound like I’m a dictator.”“Aren’t you?” humarap ako sa kaniya, clutching my water bottle. “You literally scared a guy off today.”Damien set his glass down on the counter an

XAVI'S POVMorning came, and it was hard to get out of my room. I’m scared to see him. I'm scared of how I will face what we have done. Pero kailangan, I just wish not to see him downstairs. It’s breakfast, and usually, Damien would skip it to avoid me, but unfortunately, this time, he sat next to me, surprisingly. “Good morning,” I whispered and gave him a small smile.I have decided to ignore what happened last night. Let’s act normal. Like it never happened, gaya ng ginawa namin noong birthday ni Yuri. The first night, he kissed me.He started putting some food on his plate as he glanced at me. “Morning,” maiksi niyang bati.It was short and simple, yet it made my heart warm. Isang maliit na tagumpay. Iyon lang ang turing ko sa simpleng "Morning" niya, pero sapat na iyon para maibalik ako sa nangyari kagabi. Nanatili akong tahimik habang pinapanood siyang kumakain. Damien was always precise—the way he moved, the way he spoke, and even the way he ignored me. Everything was calcula

XAVI'S POV“I’m sorry,” he whispered.Then, just like that, the weight broke. I felt a sudden, strange lightness—enough to finally let the hurt go and offer him a small, quiet smile.I continued eating. Throughout the dinner, he stayed quiet, but it wasn't the 'angry' quiet anymore. It was a shared silence. He watched me eat, and sometimes, I’d catch him smiling—just a tiny, almost invisible lift of the corners of his mouth—whenever I’d get excited about the food.I felt happy. Weirdly, dangerously happy. Even if he wasn't talking much, the fact that he was here, with me, in this small bubble of time where no one knew who we were to each other, was enough. For a moment, we weren't step-siblings. We were just a girl and a boy having dinner at 9:00 PM in a quiet mall. Well, that’s how I see it.Kakasakay lang namin sa sasakyan at nananatili pa rin kaming nakapark sa madilim na sulok ng mall garage nang biglang mangyari ang isang himala—nagsalita siya.“I meant what I said about Yuri,” w

XAVI’S POV"I didn't want to disturb you," he replied, opening the passenger door. "Get in. Let's go."Pumasok ako sa loob ng kotse, pero ang utak ko ay hindi mapakali. Two hours. He waited for two hours, mag-isa, para lang sunduin ako. Why? He could have ignored Kuya Kevin. He could have told them he was busy. But he didn't.Sa loob ng sasakyan, muling bumalik ang katahimikang kinatatakutan ko. Pero imbes na uwi, may ibang pumasok sa isip ko. Ayaw ko pang matapos ang gabing 'to na ganito kami—walang kibo, parang estranghero. Hindi pa rin ako susuko na maging maayos ang relasyon namin at tanggapin niya ako bilang kapatid."Damien, can we go to the mall first?" tanong ko."Gabi na, Clau. Uuwi na tayo.""Please. I really need to buy materials for the project. 'Yong mga special paper at pens na kailangan para sa presentation bukas. Kuya Kevin can't take me tomorrow morning. Please, Damien."He sighed, a long, weary sound, but he shifted the gear and headed towards the nearby mall.Sa loo

XAVI’S POV Sa sumunod na araw, ang ingay ng university cafeteria ay parang isang ingay na pilit kong ginagamit para itago ang gulo sa loob ng utak ko. Nakaupo kami sa table sa tapat ng malaking glass wall na tanaw ang kalapit na building Business Ad department ng campus. Katabi ko si Yuri, habang ang mga kaibigan ko—sina Reese, Eloise, at Vianca—ay halos mag-collapse na sa kakatawa dahil sa mga hirit ni Yuri. "Claudia, you’re spacing out again. Kanina ko pa napapansin, parang lumilipad ang kaluluwa mo sa ibang planeta," bulong ni Yuri sa akin. Ang boses niya ay malapit sa tenga ko, sapat lang para ako lang ang makarinig. "Hindi ah," mabilis kong sagot, pilit na ibinabalik ang focus sa kanila. "Iniisip ko lang 'yong quiz namin sa mamaya." "Liar," he chuckled, leaning closer. Ang bango niya—isang halo ng mamahaling cologne at mint. "You’re thinking about something heavy. I can see that tiny wrinkle between your eyebrows. Stop it. It’ll give you wrinkles, and it would be a tragedy to
