BS2: Chained by the Billionaire (On Hiatus)

Chapter 15

"Where's your hubby? 'Yung asawa mo na lagi mong inaaway," diretsahang untag niya.

I glared at her. "Went to work early."

"Oh because he's hurting," Naya raised a brow at me.

"Grabeng bungad iyan, Naya," sabi at pinanood siyang ibaba ang bag niya at nameywang sa harapan ko.

"Joke lang. I know you're hurting too," ngumuso siya. I held her hand when she sat beside me and hugged me. "So ano na balak mo?"

"To say sorry?" I chuckled dryly.

"I always say that I value the sanctity of marriage but I couldn't even completely apply it the way it should be. Because I'm still stucked at the thought of how our marriage started wrongly. And I know for sure that this marriage between me and him won't work unless I accept the fact that I am already a Monterro," hirap akong lumok. "That I am Ansel Monterro's wife."

Naya rubbed my hand to comfort me. "Whatever your plan will be, I will support you."

A bitter smile appeared on my lips. "Kagabi, may inuwi siyang babae rito. They were kissing. And if not for my presence, he might have fucked her already."

"ANO?!" Sigaw ni Naya. Napatakip agad siya sa bibig niya at malalaki ang mga matang nagtanong sa akin.

Huminga ako ng malalim. "I haven't mentioned to you yet. Nung nagpunta si Arco dito dahil plano natin lumabas na tatlo, hindi ba may sinabi siya sa akin privately?"

Tumango si Naya ng nakakunot noo pa rin. "Oo nga pala. And what did he say?"

"Arco confessed that he loves me."

Naaligaga si Naya. "As a friend?"

Umiling ako. I pursed my lips. "Romantically speaking."

Literal na napaawang ang bibig niya. "Seryoso?!" She covered her mouth exaggerately again. "I knew it! Oh my gosh! I was right! Torpe nga talaga siya! Ngayon lang nakapagtapat kung kelan inunahan na siya ni Monterro!"

Hindi ako makangiti. Kaya sumeryoso din ang mukha ni Naya. "And you told him that you can't love him back, didn't you?"

Tumango ako. "Naalala kong bumaba si Ansel nung oras na 'yon at hinanap ka. Mukhang nag-aalala dahil wala ka," she looked nervous for me.

Gumuhit ang mapaklang ngiti sa labi ko. "Nahanap niya ako. And he witnessed Arco kissing me that time."

"Oh hell no," suminghap siya. "Buti hindi nagkagulo! Gagong Arco! Hindi ba siya nag-iisip?! What's wrong with him?!"

Kumuyom ang kamao ko. "I told Ansel that I liked Arco's kisses."

Natigilan si Naya. "Tapos sinabihan mo pa siya ng masasamang salita," napahawak siya ulo niya at napamasahe sa sentido niya.

"But did you really like Arco's kisses?" Mataman niya akong tinignan.

I bit my lip. I couldn't answer. "I do. I felt happy. Arco has always been my first love at mahirap iyon na isuko lang."

"Pero may mali?"

I let out a heavy sigh. "Yes. It didn't feel right."

Naya hugged me. "You really have to sort your feelings out. Maybe, figure it out. Ikaw lang ang makakagawa noon para mas maging malinaw lahat sa'yo."
