THE HILARIOUS HUSBAND (LEE BROTHERS #2) Chapter 8. Dinner
CHAPTER EIGHT: DINNER❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥PAGDATING ko sa bahay, sinalubong ako ng isa sa maid namin, si Agnes. Tinanong niya agad ako kung gusto ko ng kape dahil nakasanayan ko nang nagpapatimpla kapag umuuwi."Black coffee. No sugar," sabi ko rito habang nakasunod pa rin sa 'kin. "Wala pa ba sila?" Sila, ibig kong sabihin ay 'yong mga kapatid ko pati na rin si Daddy at ang madrasta ko."Wala pa po. Ikaw pa lang ang dumating."Umiba agad ako ng direksyon. Imbes na paakyat sana sa hagdan para tunguhin ang kuwarto ko ay lumiko ako papunta sa kusina. "Kung wala pa sila, ipaghanda mo na 'ko ng hapunan. Mauuna na 'kong kumain para maagang makapagpahinga. Masakit ulo ko.""Sige po, ma'am." Agad siyang sumunod sa 'kin. Ang totoo, ayoko lang talagang sumabay sa kanilang kumain. I preferred eating alone. Whenever we were at the dining table together, there was always some argument, especially once my stepmother started nagging, and my father would join in. Naririndi ako sa gano'n kaya mas prefer

CHAPTER NINE: KITTEN ❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥ “Mom, Dad, andito na ‘yong mamanugangin n’yo,” nakangising sabi ni Hope pagdating namin sa maluwang nilang dining. Hawak niya pa rin ang kamay ko at ayaw niyang bitawan kahit pasimple kong binabawi. Bumaling sa amin ang buong pamilya niya. Nakapuwesto sa upuan ang dalawa niyang kakambal at ang Daddy nila, nagkukuwentuhan. Sa kabilang banda, ang Mom niya at ang dalawang babae—si Poppy at ang bunsong si Summer—ay abalang tumutulong sa paghahain sa mesa. Even the housemaid in uniform paused, her eyes following our entrance. Hope’s mom flashed a wide smile at me. “Hi, Elisse!” she greeted warmly, placing the bowl she was holding onto the table and quickly walking over to me. ‘Tsaka pa lamang binitawan ni Hope ang kamay ko. Before I could say anything, Hope’s mom kissed me on the cheek, and I felt the warmth of her welcome. “Buti nakarating ka. Ikaw lang ba?” Lumingon pa siya sa gawing likuran ko na tila may hinahanap. “Hindi mo kasama ang family

CHAPTER TEN: UNFORGIVABLE❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥Isang buwan na ang nakalipas, and in just two weeks, Hope and I are supposed to get married. The closer the date gets, the more stressed I feel. No matter how appealing the benefits of marrying into the Lee family are, my own happiness means far more to me. I can’t ignore the mounting pressure and my own growing resentment toward this marriage. Kaya naman ngayon ay desidido akong kausapin muli si Daddy para umatras sa arranged marriage habang hindi pa huli ang lahat.“Si Daddy?” tanong ko sa bunso naming si Edward—sixteen years old—nang masalubong ko ito sa hallway. Nakasuot pa siya ng school uniform, hawak ang paborito niyang Star Wars mug, nagkakape. Halatang kauuwi niya galing sa school.“Office n’ya,” tipid niyang sagot bago ako lagpasan. Tinungo niya ang living room at binuksan ang TV, habang nakaangat pa ang mga binti sa coffee table.Siya ang bunso sa aming magkakapatid. Siya rin ang kaisa-isa na buhay pa ang Mommy, iyon nga lang ay h

CHAPTER ELEVEN: SUNDO❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥MAHIGPIT akong kumapit sa railings ng hagdan, nanginginig ang mga kamay ko habang pababa ako, at ramdam ko ang mabilis na paghinga ko dahil sa pagtakbo.Halfway down, I saw Edward waiting at the bottom, his face scrunched with confusion and concern. His eyes widened as he noticed the panic in mine. “Ate Elisse, what happened?” may pag-aalala niyang tanong, but I could barely hear him over the pounding of my heart. Parang ngayon ko lamang siya nakitang ganito, na may emosyon.Maging ang mga maids namin na sina Agnes, Jelay at Moira ay naantala ang mga ginagawang paglilinis, and their expressions shifting from curiosity to alarm. Agnes was the first to rush toward me, her hands reaching out as if to steady me. “Ma’am Elisse, ayos lang po kayo?” Her voice was filled with urgency.Ngunit sa halip na sagutin sila, lalo akong kinabahan nang marinig ko ang mga yabag ni Daddy na tila pababa na rin. Ramdam ko ang panlalamig ng buo kong katawan. Parang bi
THE HILARIOUS HUSBAND (LEE BROTHERS #2) Chapter 12. Hope vs. Miles
CHAPTER TWELVE★HOPE RYKER LEE★[FLASHBACK]A month ago.I stepped into GDV Club, and immediately, the heavy bass of the music pulsed through my chest like a second heartbeat. The dim lighting was carefully curated to create an air of mystery, with gold accents glinting from the polished surfaces of the club and the plush velvet lounges. The walls were adorned with abstract art that seemed to dance in the low light, adding a touch of sophistication to the already opulent surroundings.I let my eyes roam over the room, searching for Thunder Villasis. He’s the son of Uncle Gino, one of my father’s oldest friends, and his family owns this club—one of the most prestigious in the city, with branches that have sprung up in the most exclusive locations around the world. This wasn’t just a place where anyone could stroll in; this was a playground for the elite. Celebrities, business moguls, and high-profile socialites flocked here, making it their personal sanctuary for indulgence.Kahit mas
THE HILARIOUS HUSBAND (LEE BROTHERS #2) Chapter 13. Teasing Elisse
CHAPTER THIRTEEN: TEASING ELISSE★HOPE RYKER LEE★I guided Elisse out of Miles’ condo, my grip firm around her wrist as we made our way to my car. Pero ‘yong mga hakbang niya, halatang pilit lang dahil nagpapatianod lang naman siya sa paghila ko sa kaniya.Oras na marating na namin ang sasakyan ko, binitawan ko na ang kamay niya at hinarap siya. My brows furrowed, demanding answers without saying a word. She knew exactly what I was asking — what the hell was she doing there?Pero sa halip na sagutin ang mapagtanong kong tingin, butonghininga lang ang ginanti niya sa ‘kin. Her shoulders sagging slightly, avoiding my gaze. Then, as if on cue, she rolled her eyes at me, dismissing my silent interrogation like it was the last thing she cared about. It irritated me how she could remain so nonchalant, so defiant, even when caught red-handed.“What did I tell you before if I ever found out you were meeting with your ex again?” I asked, my tone sharp, reminding her of my warning.“Sinabi mong
THE HILARIOUS HUSBAND (LEE BROTHERS #2) Chapter 14. Marriage Contract
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: MARRIAGE CONTRACT★HOPE RYKER LEE★Nakahinto na ang sasakyan ko sa harap ng bahay nila, pero pareho kaming hindi pa rin bumababa. Tiningnan ko si Elisse; bahagya siyang nakayuko, parang malayo ang iniisip, habang magkahawak ang pareho niyang kamay sa ibabaw ng hita niya na bahagyang nanginginig. There was a tension around her that hadn’t been there before.“Elisse?” mahina kong tawag sa kaniya. It took a moment, but finally, she seemed to snap back to reality, blinking as if shaking herself awake. “Andito na tayo,” I reminded her. “Sa bahay n’yo.”Napatingin siya sa akin, tapos sa bahay nila, na para bang hindi pa siya handang harapin kung ano man ang naghihintay sa loob. Kitang-kita ko ang pag-aalinlangan sa mukha niya— the way her lips pressed together, the deep breath she took as if she was gearing up for something difficult.Isang malalim na buntonghininga ang pinakawalan niya bago niya buksan ang pinto sa side niya. Sinabayan ko rin siya agad sa pagbaba at sabay
THE HILARIOUS HUSBAND (LEE BROTHERS #2) Chapter 15. Fast and Hard
CHAPTER FIFTEEN: FAST AND HARD ❥ ELISSE GARCIA ❥ Nakatayo ako sa harap ng full-length mirror sa kilalang boutique ni Phoenix O’Hara. Suot ko na ang wedding gown, and I smoothed down the delicate lace. The fabric was soft against my skin, its intricate patterns catching the light as I turned slightly to see the full effect. I looked like a bride — but I don’t feel like one. Ganunpaman, alam kong wala na ‘tong atrasan. Hindi na ako puwedeng umatras ngayon, lalo na at ako rin naman ang makikinabang sa kasal na ‘to. Ang totoo, matapos ang ginawa sa akin ni Daddy na kawalanghiyaan sa opisina niya, parang nawalan na ako ng gana sa kaniya, sa Garcinema at mas lalo na sa kasal na ‘to. Pero matapos kong matanggap ang text niya kanina, I couldn’t ignore him. He mentioned a business proposal in exchange for the marriage. The idea intrigued me, even though I had no intention of seeing him. Iyon ang dahilan kaya nagpasama ako kay Hope sa bahay. At dahil kasunduan ang tinalakay namin—bago ko si
