Pero nang makita ko itong naghuhubad, kung paano niya idinirekta ang kanya sa aking lagusan ay halos mahimatay ako. Shit! Nakita ko! At hindi ko alam kung makakaya ko ba iyon!

His playful antics often lighten the mood and add a sense of fun to any situation, though they occasionally land him in trouble. Love Andrei complements the siblings with his sharp intellect and quick wit.

Hanggang sa ipinasok na ang babae sa loob ng cremation, at doon ay hinaklit na niya ang kaniyang Kuya palabas ng room at agad itong kinuwelyuhan, malakas na isinandal sa pader. “Kasalanan mo lahat, Kuya! Wala kang karapatan umiyak dahil hindi mo naman siya minahal! You’re just obsessed with her, but you don’t love her! Nakita ko kung paano mo siya pagbuhatan ng kamay dahil lang sa walang kwenta mong pagseselos! Pero ikaw pala itong may babae!” galit niyang sigaw sa kapatid habang mahigpit na hawak ang kuwelyo ng business suit nitong suot.

This can't be happening. Jacob is Franco's stepbrother. Kaya pala pamilyar ito sa kanya dahil ipinakita na ni Franco ang larawan nito noong high school sila. Hindi man sila totoong magkapatid ay magkahawig naman ang mga ito. Halos parehas din ng tikas ng katawan at taas. Ito na ba ang katapusan niya?

I could feel some of the other moms glancing at me—not in a bad way, maybe even with sympathy—but I still hated it. I wasn’t ashamed. Just… uncomfortable.
