Semua Bab Living Under My Evil Stepbrother's Rule: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Juliana—If there's anyone I hated more in this world besides my own mother, iyon ay walang iba kundi ang taong pinili niyang kailangang makasama ko sa iisang bubong bago ko makuha ang mana ko—ang matayog at mapagmataas na si Raegan Ybarro Monteverde. The only son of my mother's husband from his first wife, and my stepbrother.Ni walang isang patak ng dugong Monteverde ang nananalaytay sa akin. We were only introduced when I was ten and he was already seventeen, noong magpasyang magpakasal ang magulang naming dalawa.With that age gap, it was never easy to deal with him. But he made sure it would be impossible, dahil paulit-ulit niya ring ipinapaalala sa akin kung ano lang ang lugar ko sa buhay at pamamahay nila.I was sent away to an all-girls boarding school because of him, wala pang isang taon nang ikasal si Mommy at ang kanyang ama.But my hatred for him is more than that. It is deeply rooted in all of the evil things he has done to me, and I still remember every single one of th

Juliana—"Baby, would you get rid of these for me?" bulong ko dahil sa lapit naming dalawa.For a moment, I swear I saw a crack in his cold and very dark eyes. Kahit ang pagkakahawak niya sa aking buhok ay naramdaman kong lumuwag nang kaunti."Please, baby?" dagdag ko pa at inilapit ang sariling katawan sa kanya.His eyes widened slightly before he dropped me onto the sofa like I was a hot potato.Gusto ko sanang matawa kaso tang ina, muntikan na akong mauntog sa sandalan!"What did you just say?" mariin niyang tanong, nagmamadaling umatras papalayo sa akin.I turned to him and struggled to adjust myself into a sitting position. Napadapa kasi ako sa upuan sa biglaan niyang pagbagsak sa akin. Makawala lang talaga ako rito, susuntukin ko ang gagong 'to!"Ayaw mong tawagin kita sa pangalan mo, hindi ba?" irap ko sa kanya. "Tanggalin mo na 'to kasi ang sakit na! I know you're sick in the head that you want your women in pain, but I'm still your stepsister, you fucker!"Nanlalaki ang mga

Juliana—Iritado kong tiningnan ang buong listahan. All the things written there were absolutely ridiculous!"Seryoso ba siya rito?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko kay Fabro, na nanatiling tikom ang bibig.I crumpled the paper in my hand, just like I did with my mother's will.So much for trying to make peace with that bastard. Hindi talaga ako magkakaroon ng kapayapaan kung titira ako rito kasama ang gagong 'yon!Damn him! I really need to find a way to get out of this house after the burial! Mababaliw lang ako kapag nagtagal pa ako rito lalo!"Where is he?" nagtitimpi kong tanong ulit.Fabro stood there like he didn't hear a thing.Kinuha ko ang remote control para patayin ang TV, bago tumayo mula sa sofa at hinarap siya. I barely reached his shoulder. At sa laki ng kanyang pangangatawan, kahit sino ata ay matatakot na harapin siya. But with Raegan nowhere in sight, hindi ko maiwasang ipukol ang galit sa mga tauhan niya."I'm asking you where he is, damn it!"Yumuko si Fabro.Even

Juliana—At an early age, I already knew that he didn't like me.He never saw me as a sister, let alone as a human being. All he saw was the baggage that came with the gold-digging whore he believed was trying to leech off his father's wealth."Liana, this is your Kuya Raegan," pakilala ni Mommy sa akin sa isang lalaking may katamtamang haba ng buhok. Ang ilang hibla no'n ay nakalaylay sa kanyang noo. "Raegan, this is my daughter, Liana."His skin tone was fair, at alam mong laki sa karangyaan dahil sa kinis ng kanyang balat. His black eyes looked like a polished marble, reflecting the lights around the room, framed by long and thick lashes.I tilted my head as I examined him. He looked like one of those anime boys that my friends used to crush on. Payat, matangkad, at mukhang suplado. Madalas silang bumili ng mga sticker ng gano'ng karakter at idinidikit sa kanilang notebook."Hi, Kuya Raegan," ngiting bati ko, tulad ng bilin ni Mommy na gawin ko. Nasabi niya na 'to sa akin kanina n

Raegan—I stared at my therapist, who continued writing down what I had just said.Sa tagal ko ng nagpapatingin sa kanya, ni hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin alam kung hinuhusgahan niya ba ako o hindi sa lahat ng ikinukuwento ko.But it's been three days now since that girl came back. At tatlong araw na rin akong walang maayos na tulog, kaya nandito na naman ako sa harapan niya."Let me get this straight. The girl you were referring to all these years is the same girl you're talking about now?"Tumango ako."And this is not your fiancée, right?"Tango ulit.Is he always going to repeat everything I say before giving me his advice?"But this girl wasn't your ex or past lover..."I'm already pissed, dahil parang mas ipinapamukha niya sa akin na sobrang mali nitong nararamdaman ko, kahit hindi pa naman niya alam ang totoong pagkatao ng babaeng tinutukoy ko.I already know that it's wrong. That's the reason why I am here again.Kaso nga lang, sa loob ng siyam na taon na pabalik-balik ako
