Gusion's Brother Novels & Stories

This time, the audio spliced her voice with Zion’s name: “Ako si Sophie Rodriguez… at si Zion ang kasama ko sa lahat ng nakaw.” Her eyes widened. “Zion?!” she gasped. What the hell? The other detainees leaned closer, whispering. “Kasama pala kapatid niya?” Sophie’s heart pounded. The lies were multiplying, spreading like wildfire. And now, her own brother was being dragged into the storm.

Because part of me already knew he was right. Julian and Adrian weren’t fighting for power anymore. Or inheritance. Or family control. They were fighting for me. And that realization was horrifying. The stranger’s phone suddenly buzzed. He answered immediately. “Yes.” Silence. Then his expression hardened. “Understood.” Fear crawled up my spine. “What’s happening?” He looked directly at me for the first time. “The younger Yang brother just shot someone.” My blood turned cold. “Who?” Before he could answer— An explosion shook the tunnel violently.

Matagal na napatitig ang lalaki rito bago ito tumango sa kanya. "We will talk, Evhan, but let me investigate this carefully." Inis niyang tinuyo ang luha sa harap nito. "Sorry, nagiging iyakin na rin yata ako." Sinundan niya ito ng mura na ikinangiti ng lalaki. Tugon naman ni Evhan, "Dad never told me everything about Hyanct, he's our sibling by surrogate, Brander. And about her—my sister Vie."

Sa bawat pag-tawag niya sa pangalan ko at mga d***g niya ay tila punyal na humihiwa sa puso ko at dinudurog ang kalooban ko. I never have a brother by blood and Lightning was the brother I thought I had. But I was wronged. Even real brothers dare to betray their own blood because of money, a huge amount of it so to speak. The pictures said a thousand words. Ayoko man na maniwala dahil tinuring ko na siyang pamilya kahit hindi kami magkadugo, pero sapat na ang mga pictures na nakita ko para sabihin sa akin na nag-alaga ako ng ahas sa bakuran ko.

“Ganun ba talaga ang nagagawa ng pagmamahal eh, she even got to the point of killing herself just because kuya never accepted her” “She did that?” I asked unsurely. “Well 'yun ang balitang umabot sa amin but who knows what really happened back then her brother didn't really told us anything all I know was si Kuya ang sinisisi niya sa pagkam×t×y ng sister niya” “And this brother was?” “Kuya Stephen Nepomuceno” Say whut!? ••••• Calvin...

"After Eldest Brother passed away, natatakot ang mga elders na hindi sila makahanap ng isa pang successor na kayang dalhin ang pamilya." "At that time, Second Brother was still in high school. Ginugugol niya ang kanyang mga araw sa pagra-race ng sasakyan, pakikipag-away, at ang mga grado niya ay palaging nasa ibaba. Nobody thought he'd amount to much." "Exactly. Ako rin, akala ko talaga he'd spend his whole life bilang isang spoiled young master." "But after Eldest Brother died... it was like he became a completely different person."

“Kaya nga kita pinabalik agad. Gusto naming marinig mismo mula sa’yo kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari.” Bahagya niyang tinapik ang balikat ni Ethan, pero nanatili ang lamig sa kanyang tinig habang nagpatuloy, “Si Cassandra asawa na ngayon ng kuya mo. Ngayon, siya na ang sister-in-law mo.” Napailing siya, saka marahang bumuntong-hininga, may bahid ng lungkot at pagkalito sa kanyang mga mata. “Diyos ko ano bang nangyari at nauwi ito sa ganito?”

Mabilis namang sumunod sa amin si Jane habang tinatakpan ang tainga ni Sofia para hindi marinig ang mga sigawan at sagutan namin kanina. “David’s Sofia's father? At hindi mo man lang sinabi sa akin?” mahinang sabi niya, sapat lang para kaming dalawa ang makarinig. “H-Hindi ko… Hindi ko alam na kapatid mo siya,” guilty kong sabi. Kung alam ko lang na kapatid niya si David, kahit half-brother pa iyon ay hindi ako papayag na magkaroon ng koneksyon sa kanya.

Nanginginig ang tuhod ko, pero alam kong ito na ang pagkakataon ko para ipaglaban ang kapatid ko. “Ms. Cassandra Dela Vega,” panimula ng prosecutor, “can you tell the court what your relationship is to the victim?” “He’s my half-brother,” sagot ko. “He was kind, responsible, and didn’t deserve what happened to him.” “Can you tell us what you found suspicious about his death?” “Daniel was never the type to give up. He loved life. He had plans—he was even preparing to start a new business with Sebastian. When they told me it was suicide, I knew something was wrong.”
