Downfall Of The Badass

Chapter 38: Pregnant

"Ty...Laurice is suppose to come with us but...something happened with her dad..." ani naman ni Maristelle ng makarating na sila sa Paris.

"It's alright...how is she?" ani naman ni Ty

"She's fine I guess... She wanted to tell you that...she'll wait for you...everything's clear with her now...she just thought that the twins are yours..." ani naman ni Maristelle

"She actually thought that they are mine...that explains everything..." ani Ty na malungkot ang mga mata.

"Yeah...she really wanted to see you..." Ani Maristelle

"I'll see her soon.." ani Ty na may kakaibang lungkot sa mga mata.

"Aldrich... " ani naman ni Andrei

"Andrei... Why?" ani naman ni Ty

"Oh sorry, I didn't know you're here Maristelle

"It's alright... " ani naman ni Maristelle

"Dad wants to see you." ani naman ni Andrei

"Why? Something happened?" ani naman ni Aldrich

"I don't know...but...Beatrice is there..." ani naman ni Andrei

"I think I know... " ani naman ni Aldrich na napabuntong hininga pa.

Pinuntahan naman agad ni Aldrich ang ama. Inabutan niya roon sa silid ang ina at si Beatrice.

"Aldrich... You're here..." ani naman ni Antoine

"Andrei said you were asking for me dad? What is it? Are you alright? " ani naman ni Aldrich

"I'm fine... I...I just...want to ask you...a...a favor..." ani naman ni Antoine

"What is it dad?" ani naman ni Aldrich

"Can you...escort...the Lady Beatrice... To the... The Louver Annual Fund Raising Ball...?" ani naman ni Antoine

Napatingin naman si Aldrich kay Beatrice at sa ina.

"Of course dad...I will..." ani naman ni Aldrich na bahagya pang ngumiti.

"Thank you son..." ani naman ni Antoine na hinawakan pa ang kamay ni Aldrich.

"Anything for you dad..." ani naman ni Aldrich na hinalikan pa ang kamay ng ama.

Nang lumabas si Aldrich ay sinundan siya ni Beatrice sa balkonahe.

"I'm sorry Prince Aldrich... I didn't mean-" ani naman ni Beatrice na pinutol ni Aldrich

"It's alright Beatrice... It's not your fault... " ani naman ni Aldrich na hindi nawawala ang lungkot sa mga mata.

"I really like you but...I don't want it to be this way...I don't wanna force you to do something you don't want... " ani naman ni Beatrice

"I've known you since we were kids Beatrice... I know you well enough...that you won't take advantage of the situation... But...I want you to know that I'm doing this to make my father happy..." ani naman ni Aldrich na hindi pa rin nililingon ang dalaga.

"That hurts you know..." ani naman ni Beatrice na malungkot na ngumiti.

"I'm sorry Beatrice... I'm just not the man for you. You're beautiful inside out but-" ani Aldrich

"Stop flattering me Aldrich... You don't have to say anything... I can't force you to like me... And I won't do that... I'm happy enough knowing that you still care and treat me as a friend..." ani naman ni Beatrice na nais ng maluha.

"I've always loved you as my sister Beatrice... That won't change..." ani naman ni Aldrich na humarap na sa dalaga.

"You're unfair...but at least you've never lied to me..." ani naman ni Beatrice na tumulo na ang luha.
