MV Princess Marguerite Cruise Ship
"She hates me. I know she does. But I'd do it again if your life is on the line." ani JT saka inubos ang laman ng baso niya.
"Give her time... Her heart is good. She may just be in shock right now but I know someday she can forgive you..." ani naman ni Laurice
"You're right...I hate you. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. For me...You're the man who killed my father." ani Beatrice na titig na titig kay JT na bumaba rin pala upang puntahan sana si Laurice at humingi ng pasenaya rito.
"Beatrice... " ang tanging nasambit ni Laurice
Nakatingin lang si JT sa dalaga na hindi kababakasan ng kahit anong emosyon.
"I don't regret doing it to save my sister. I'm sorry that you're hurting but I will never be sorry for killing the man who tried to kill my sister." malamig nantugon ni JT
Kitang kita nila ang pagtulo ng masaganang luha sa mga mata ng dalaga.
"JT!" saway ni Laurice sa kapatid.
"I hate you Mr. Lyons and I think I will hate you forever. Excuse me your highness. I have to go." ani naman ni Beatrice saka tinalikuran ang magkapatid.
"For me...You're the man who killed my father."
"For me...You're the man who killed my father."
"For me...You're the man who killed my father."
"It's not my intention to kill him." sagot naman ni JT kahit pa tinalikuran na siya ng dalaga.
"I know, it never is...but it still won't change the fact... That you're the one who killed him..." malamig na tugon ni Beatrice na tumigil sandali bago tuluyang lumabas ng ospital.
"but it still won't change the fact... That you're the one who killed him..."
"but it still won't change the fact... That you're the one who killed him..."
"but it still won't change the fact... That you're the one who killed him..."
Pawis na pawis si JT ng magising mula sa panaginip na iyon. Agad siyang nagbihis at lumabas ng kanyang cabin. Dumirecho siya sa bar sa may upper deck at doon kumuha ng alak.
"What the fuck is wrong with me??! It's not yet your fucking intention to kill him JT! So what the fuck!!! Get a hold of yourself!!! " kastigo naman ni JT sa sarili bago inubos ang laman ng baso at nagsalin ulit.
Hindi na muling nakatulog pa si JT. Nagulat pa nga ang Executive assistant niyang si Tony ng makita na ito agad sa opisina.
"Sir." ani naman ni Tony
"Tony, find everything you can about this girl. Beatrice Von Latier. I wanna know how is she doing now." ani naman ni JT
"Right away Sir." ani naman ni Tony at lumabas na rin ng opisina.
Kinahapunan ay may dala ng report si Tony tungkol sa inutos ni JT.
"Sir, here's what you've asked for about Beatrice Von Latier." ani Tony na inabot na ang folder.
"What did you find out?" ani naman ni JT
"She's currently the head doctor of John Hopkins Hospital however she's in France right now for her Father's death anniversary. She'll be back in the States come Friday." ani naman ni Tony
