Downfall Of The Badass

Chapter 41: Last Shot

"Marry me Beatrice... " ani Ty na nakatitig sa mga mata ni Beatrice

Hindi naman nakapagsalita si Beatrice sa tinuran ni Ty.

"I'm serious Beatrice... Marry me...at least I can make my father happy... " ani Ty na tila nakikipag negosasyon ng negosyo.

Isang malakas na sampal ang dumapo sa pisngi niya. At pag harap niya kay Beatrice ay ang luhaang mukha nito ang nakita ni Ty.

"What exactly do you take me for Aldrich...? A toy? A thing that you own?" ani naman ni Beatrice sa gitna ng pagluha.

"Beatrice... You said you love me...?" ani naman ni Ty

"I do...but to marry you...Aren't you asking a bit too much?! Do you even love me?!" sagot naman ni Beatrice

"It doesn't matter if I love you or not...-" ani Ty

"It does matter to me dammit!!!! Why do you think I'm still single until now given the fact that we both belong to families who do arrange marriages as if it's just a business deal??!!!" ani naman ni Beatrice na dinuro na ang dibdib ni Ty.

Si Ty naman ay biglang hindi nakasagot si mga binitawang salita ni Beatrice.

"Because I chose to marry for love...you're so unfair Aldrich... You know that?" ani naman ni Beatrice na iniwan na mag isa si Ty sa parking area.

Sa loob nmn ng hotel ay iyak ng iyak si Laurice sa dibdib ng kapatid.

"Hush now sweet... I'll make him pay for doing this to you...nobody hurts my sister..." ani naman ni JT habang pilit pinatatahan si Laurice

"I don't care if you're a CEO or a goddamn Prince... I will make you pay for treating my sister this way Ty..." galit na galit naman na ani JT sa kanyang isip.

"What will happen to me now...to my baby? My baby is gonna grow up without a father..." ani naman ni Laurice na iyak ng iyak.

"I'll be there for him or her Laurice... You have me...I will take care of the both of you...I promise... We're family... Remember that..." ani naman ni JT na awang awa na sa kapatid.

Gabi na ay hindi pa rin nakakauwi si Beatrice. Ayaw niya munang makita si Aldrich. Hanggang sa napadpad si Beatrice sa isang bar.

Maingay, mausok at malakas na tugtugan ang bumulaga sa kanya pagpasok niya sa loob.

Nakakailang shots na rin si Beatrice at nag uumpisa ng tumama ang mga nainom niya.

"Care to dance?" ani naman ng lalaking lumapit kay Beatrice

"No thank you..I'm go-- you...you're the man in the press con earlier...what are you doing here...?" ani naman ni Beatrice ng makilala ang lalaking lumapit.

"I'm herr to get Ty's happiness away from him..." ani naman ni JT

"Hahaha! You're funny... You can't... You're wasting your time..." ani naman ni Beatrice na napatawa sa harap ni JT

Tumiim bigla ang tingin ni JT saka hinawakan ang braso ni Beatrice.
"Is that how much you love him? That you're saying that I can't get his happiness?" ani naman ni JT

"Yeah...I love him...I love him ever since we were kids..." ani naman ni Beatrice na may lungkot sa mga mata.

"Dammit! Do you even know that you're hurting my sister?! Is that the kind of love you have?! That you don't care who gets hurt?!" ani naman ni JT na naguumpisa ng magalit.

"You're stupid... You know that...?" ani naman ni Beatrice

"What?!" ani naman ni JT

"Let me go mister...take your sister away...that's what you can do to help her.. " ani naman ni Beatrice na lumabas na ng bar.
