Lahat ng Kabanata ng MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER IS OBSESSED WITH ME: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

[EDGE OF CONTROL]Julian didn’t speak to me again that night.But the silence between us felt heavier than any argument.I could feel it while we walked back into the mansion from the garden. His presence behind me felt like a shadow I couldn’t escape.Dangerous. Quiet. Watching.When we reached the second floor, Julian stopped outside his private study.“Maris.”My stomach tightened.“Yes?”He opened the door slowly.“Come inside.”It wasn’t a request.I stepped in.The study was dimly lit, the scent of old wood and leather filling the air. Julian closed the door behind us with deliberate calm.Click.The sound echoed in my chest.Julian walked toward his desk but didn’t sit.Instead, he leaned against it and studied me.Long.Carefully.“Maris,” he said quietly.“You’ve been acting differently.”My pulse quickened.“I don’t think so.”Julian tilted his head slightly.“No?”“No.”I kept my voice steady, though my hands felt cold.Julian watched me like he was studying a puzzle.“Earl

[HIDDEN GLANCES]I barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same moment replaying in my mind—the garden, the silence between us, Julian’s hand extended toward me, and Adrian watching from across the path.My choice.Or at least… the beginning of it.The memory still made my chest tight.When morning came, the Yu Mansion felt the same as always—quiet, elegant, and suffocating.But something inside me had changed.And I had a strange feeling the others could sense it too.I walked into the dining room for breakfast, tryin

[SILENCE OBEDIENCE] The silence on the balcony felt heavier than the night air.My hand still tingled from Adrian’s touch.But now it felt like a crime.Julian stood a few steps away from us, his tall figure framed by the soft lights inside the mansion. His expression was calm.Too calm.The kind of calm that made my stomach twist.His eyes slowly moved from Adrian… to me.Then back again.I forced myself to breathe.“Julian—”He ra

[FORBIDDEN MEETING]The mansion felt quieter than usual that night.Too quiet.After the confrontation in the garden, Julian had returned inside as if nothing had happened. His calm composure was even more terrifying than anger.Dinner had been silent.Julian spoke only when necessary. Adrian barely looked at either of us.But the tension between them was like a storm waiting to break.Now the house was asleep.Or at least… it pretended to be.I stood by the window in my room, staring at the dark gardens outside.Julian had already gone to his private study after dinner.Another late night of work.That was normal.But tonight, my mind refused to rest.Adrian’s voice from earlier echoed inside my head.“What if it was never yours to begin with?”The way he had said it…Confident.Fearless.Dangerous.My heart beat faster just remembering it.I shouldn’t be thinking about him.I knew that.But the thought refused to disappear.Suddenly—A faint sound echoed from outside my door.Three

[TANGLED LOYALTIES] My heart was still pounding when Julian closed the door behind him.The quiet click echoed inside my room.And suddenly, the space felt smaller.Trapped.I stood frozen near the center of the room, my eyes still drawn to the small red blinking light in the corner of the ceiling.The camera.Proof that someone had been watching me.Proof that Julian had been watching me.My throat felt dry.“You finally noticed,” Julian said calmly.
