Lahat ng Kabanata ng One Night with My Brother-in-Law: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

“Oh, Jefran,” Jeslyn called out as they exited the meeting room.“Yes, Jes?” Jefran replied, walking over to his fiancée.“I’ve decided to move back to my apartment starting today,” said Jeslyn.“Are you sure?” Jefran asked.“Yes, I’m sure. I’ve had enough rest, and Daddy’s condition is steadily improving,” Jeslyn answered.“That’s great to hear. I’m really glad,” Jefran replied with a gentle smile.“Oh, by the way, are you stopping by later?” Jeslyn asked.“Um... well, Jes, actually, I really want to go with you to the apartment. But I already have plans with a friend—something I really can’t cancel. I’m really sorry,” Jefran said, his eyes filled with guilt.“It’s okay. What can we do? If you already have plans...” Jeslyn said with a small smile.“Well then, I’ll head back to my office now.” With that, Jefran walked away.Jeslyn watched him leave in silence. He hadn’t even bothered to compliment her or give feedback on her presentation. Was it too much to expect a little praise from

“Finally, that Alligator is gone,” Jeslyn sighed, collapsing onto her bed. She stared at the ceiling of her apartment room, her mind filled with swirling thoughts.“How do I get rid of that Alligator?” Jeslyn murmured to herself, finding no answer. She regretted her foolish mistake—entering the wrong room and getting entangled with her future brother-in-law, who turned out to be dangerous and utterly annoying.She picked up her phone and tried to call Jefran. After several attempts, there was still no answer.“Where is he, anyway?” Jeslyn frowned at her screen.Letting out a long breath, she tossed the phone gently onto the pillow. Her gaze returned to the ceiling as she bit her lower lip. Her thoughts were a tangled mess—frustration, confusion, and a touch of panic all mixed together.“Jefran… you shouldn’t just disappear like this,” she whispered.Her eyes shifted to the large suitcase Leonel had dragged into her room earlier—the only physical remnant of the chaos that had just unfo

Jeslyn stared blankly at her laptop screen. Her right hand gripped the mouse while her other fingers tapped on the desk in a random rhythm. She was supposed to be finishing the final report for the project she was handling—a crucial presentation that needed to be submitted later that afternoon. But no matter how hard she tried to concentrate, her mind kept drifting back to the same moment that had haunted her since morning.That kiss.That sudden, unsolicited kiss Leonel had planted on her so carelessly.“I’m going to go insane! How long am I going to be like this, unable to focus?” she muttered with a sigh.Jeslyn clenched her fist, trying to contain the turmoil in her chest. She had tried everything to shake the memory—throwing herself into work, splashing cold water on her face in the office bathroom—but nothing worked.The image of Leonel’s face, the intensity of his gaze, the heat of his touch—they were all seared into her mind. What irritated her most was how her own heartbeat h

“Sir, the man who was following Miss Jeslyn came back to her apartment just a few minutes ago.”That was the message Leonel received from the person he had secretly assigned to keep an eye on Jeslyn.“Who the hell is that bastard!”Leonel stepped out of his car and made his way toward Jeslyn’s apartment complex, a storm of emotions brewing inside him.“If he lays a hand on Jeslyn, I swear I won’t let him live!” he thought furiously.Just as he approached the elevator, he heard faint footsteps running behind the emergency stairwell door. Without hesitation, he pushed the door open—and at that exact moment, Jeslyn appeared, her face pale with fear, sweat dripping down her temples.“Jessy?”“Leon—?”Jeslyn didn’t hesitate. She threw herself into Leonel’s arms, trembling in fear.Leonel caught a glimpse of a man at the top of the stairs who had abruptly stopped running and quickly turned away, clearly frightened.“H-he was... up there...” Jeslyn stammered.Leonel wrapped his arms around h

Jeslyn sat in the corner of her apartment, the dim light casting soft shadows across her vacant expression. The cup of tea in her hands had gone cold long ago, untouched. Her eyes stared blankly into the distance, but her mind kept circling back to the scene she had witnessed earlier that day.Jefran—and that woman.Jeslyn took a deep breath, but her chest only felt tighter. Who is she? she wondered. And why did they seem so close? The questions echoed in her mind, crashing like relentless waves.She tried to convince herself it might have been a casual meeting. Maybe a coworker. Maybe an old friend. But the image of their hands intertwined across the table—too intimate, too personal—wouldn’t leave her.Jeslyn rubbed her face slowly, trying to chase away the unease that had quietly crept into her chest. But the sting was real. Something inside her ached—something she hadn’t even admitted to herself.Do I still care about Jefran? Or is it just the feeling of betrayal?The new question
