Lahat ng Kabanata ng MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH ME: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

[BEHIND CLOSED DOORS]I married Julian Yu, knowing everyone envied me. Handsome, wealthy, untouchable—the world sees him as perfect. Pero sa loob ng aming bahay, walang kahit isang tao na makakaalam ng totoong nangyayari. Behind closed doors, smiles hide commands. Every touch feels like a tether around my wrist, every compliment a subtle claim.At dinner that night, the chandeliers reflected off the polished marble floors, illuminating the Yu family’s mansion in its usual golden glow. Guests whispered about our life, praising the marriage, the luxury, the power. “Siya yung perfect couple,” someone murmured near the wine table, sipping their expensive Pinot Noir. I smiled politely, nodding, keeping my head high. The world saw perfection. I saw a cage.Julian sat across from me, calm, his dark eyes resting on mine like a quiet storm. “Maris,” he said softly, “ang ganda mo tonight.” His hand brushed mine, just a gentle touch—or so it seemed. But I knew the weight behind it. That single g

[CRACKS IN THE CAGE]Julian’s presence was suffocating tonight, but I couldn’t look away. Every time he smiled at me, it wasn’t just warmth—it was a reminder that I belonged entirely to him. Not just in body, but in thought, in hesitation, in the careful way I moved through the world.“Maris,” he said, voice soft, almost teasing, as we walked through the private gallery of the mansion, “you look distracted. Are your thoughts somewhere else?”I swallowed hard, glancing down at my heels. “I… I’m just thinking, Julian.” My voice was careful, neutral. Too much emotion would give him reason to assert more control.He reached for my hand—not roughly, but just enough that I felt the tether tighten. “Thinking can be dangerous,” he murmured. “Especially when it’s about things that don’t concern you.” His thumb brushed against my skin, soft, deliberate. Every nerve in me screamed that I was already caught.And yet… from the corner of my eye, I felt it again. That calm, impossible intensity. Adr

[FORBIDDEN FLAMES]The night shimmered like liquid gold through the tall windows of the Yu mansion. Chandeliers reflected in polished marble floors, and laughter floated from the dining hall where family and close friends gathered. To anyone watching, this was the perfect life, the flawless Yu family evening—and yet, for me, the air was suffocating. Julian’s presence pressed down on me, constant and commanding, and I felt it even when his hand was only lightly resting on the small of my back as he guided me through the crowd.“You’re quiet tonight,” Julian murmured, leaning close enough that his cologne brushed against my cheek. Cedar, sharp with a hint of something dark. His voice was soft, but every syllable carried ownership, reminding me, subtly, of where I belonged.“I… I’m just tired, Julian,” I replied, forcing a small laugh. My pulse was already erratic, and his touch made it worse. I wanted to look away, to escape his control, but my body refused.“You shouldn’t tire yourself

[WHISPERED THREATS]The hallway felt narrower tonight, the shadows from the chandeliers stretching long across the polished floors. I had been walking toward the library, trying to escape the suffocating weight of Julian’s gaze even in his absence, when I felt it—that familiar, inescapable presence behind me.“Maris,” Julian’s voice came quietly but with that sharp edge that made me freeze in place. I turned slowly, and there he was, leaning slightly against the wall, his eyes unreadable. “What are you doing wandering the halls alone?”I swallowed, forcing a calm smile. “I… I was just… looking for something.” My heart was hammering in my chest, and I could feel the faint tremor in my hands.His gaze didn’t soften, didn’t waver. It pinned me, held me, reminded me of every rule I had learned to obey. “You belong in my sight. Always. Don’t forget that,” he said, stepping closer. His hand brushed my arm lightly, almost casually—but I felt it like a tether, a claim.“Yes… Julian,” I whispe

[THE THIN LINE]I had thought I had learned to move through the Yu mansion without drawing attention to myself. Careful steps on polished floors, polite smiles, measured words. But tonight, everything felt different. My pulse betrayed me with every glance, every slight movement, every whisper of silk against marble.Julian was unusually quiet at dinner. Not the warm, charming host the world adored, but a predator in a tailored suit, his eyes sharp, calculating. Maris. His hand brushed mine once under the table—a casual touch, or perhaps a subtle claim—and I felt the familiar tug of ownership that always made me tense.Across the room, my eyes caught a flicker. Just a moment, a shadow, but it was enough. Adrian. Stella. His gaze lingered on me, calm and intense, as though he could read my every thought. My breath hitched. I turned my eyes back to Julian before he noticed. I prayed he hadn’t seen anything, but with him, you never knew.“Maris,” Julian said softly, leaning closer. “You’v
