Chapter 17: Green

Ophelia was rooted in place as she witnessed how he left her without turning his back.

Then, she slapped herself on the sand, unable to stand up or even motion her fingers.

As she cried her heart out, she couldn't help but remember how this happening had altered her solid decision of marrying him. She cried upon thinking how her decision was changed in a matter of a single call over the phone. Then, she closed her eyes, trying to remove the pain in her heart.

Ophelia couldn't help but stare at Declan's peaceful and innocent face while sleeping. She caressed his hair as she gave him a peck of kiss on his lips. She wants to marry him.

She even hugged him as tight as she could, whispering 'I love you' onto his ears.

He's so handsome and charismatic even he's already asleep. The most handsome man she had ever seen.

Kahit halos kamukha nito ang kaniyang pinsan na si Lennox, hindi pa rin mapagkakailang may malaking pagkakaiba ang mga ito.

Lennox's face is too soft for Ophelia's eyes, and Declan is something she can't explain. Well, maybe she's just being biased since she loves him.

Ophelia chuckled with her random thoughts.

She was about to sleep since it's already eleven in the evening habang sinisiksik ang sarili sa binata nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone nito mula sa side table.

She sighed, but still smiling like an idiot as she's gazing every corner of his face.

Wala siyang balak na sagutin iyon dahil baka tungkol lang sa trabaho. But her curiosity kills her kaya maingat niyang kinuha ang cellphone ni Declan at tiningnan ang caller.

It's just 'D'. Who the hell is D?

So, she immediately answered the call.

"Oh, goodness gracious, my lovey! I miss you." Ophelia's smile faded as she heard a woman saying those words in a very soft and seductive tone.

The woman even tried to make her voice rusty which made her grit her teeth.

Decaela.

She's a hundred percent certain that it's THAT girl. And her number was even registered to his phone, still.

Right.

Mapakla siyang napamaang.

"You're not saying a word again? It's okay, Lovey..." Her face became stolid as she crumpled the white blanket that was covered on her legs.

Declan is peacefully sleeping beside her, while she's listening to a wrecker on his phone.

"I heard you're in Macau and I happen to drop by here, as well. Would you mind if we hang out? You know, just like the old days. Sleeping in bed with you and all." Ophelia gulped with a very closed eyes, as a set of tears had started to form.

Her heart began to feel the sudden hatred, jealousy, and anger.

Decaela. "Fuck you for ruining my happiness," uttered her mind. Hindi siya makapagsalita. Ni ang normal na paghinga ay hindi niya nagawa.

"Mommy Alani will be very happy. Lovey, please speak naman, oh?"

Mommy Alani, huh? She's even calling Declan's mother as her mommy. The fuck?

"Lovey, are you still angry? I love yo—" Hindi na tinapos ni Ophelia ang tanong ng nasa kabilang linya at mabilis na nagsalita.

"Declan's asleep, and you're still a slut."
