Dahil maayos na ang lahat sa kaibigan ni Beatrice at sa girlfriend nito ay nagoasya siyang uuwi na muna ng Pransya. Pumunta si Beatrice sa opisina ni Ty upang magpaalam. Kilala naman siya ng mga sekretaryo doon kaya pinapasok naman siya.
Gulat man ay napayukod si Beatrice ng makita ang hari na naroon din sa opisina ni Ty ng makapasok siya.
"Your Highness... I'm sorry.... I...I didn't know you're here..." ani naman ni Beatrice na bahagyang yumukod dito.
Napatingin dito si Ty na tila punong puno ng galit. Agad itong tumayo at pinuntahan ang dalaga habang ang kanang kamay ay nailagay nito sa leeg ni Beatrice hanggang sa naitulak ito sa dingding.
"You!" ani Ty
"Al-aldrich... Why...what's wrong...?" ani naman ni Beatrice na nahihintakutan sa nakikita kay Ty.
"Did you plan all this with your good for nothing father??!!!! Anawer me Beatrice!!!! Answer me!!!!" makapangyarihang sigaw ni Ty.
"What... What are you talking about... You're hurting... Me...I...I can't breath Al-aldrich.." hirap na hirap humingang ani Beatrice
"Ty!!!!" sigaw ni Laurice na agad namang inawat si Ty
"Let go of her Ty...please... " ani naman ni Laurice na hinawakan ang braso ni Ty habang titig na titig sa mga mata nito.
"Dammit!!!!" ani Ty na sinuntok ang pader bago binitawan ang leeg ni Beatrice.
Nang mabitawan ay napaluhod naman si Beatrice habang dinalahit ng ubo dahil tila naubusan siya ng hangin. Hibdi niya alam kung anong nangyayari bakit biglang nagkaganito si Ty.
"Lady Beatrice of Versailles... I'm putting you under arrest for treason. Get her. We'll bring her back to France." ani Andrei na walang mababakas na emosyon para sa dalaga.
"You're Highness.... What have I done...? Why are you doing this...?" litong litong sagot ni Beatrice habang umiiyak.
"Your father committed unforgivable treason and we have grounds that you're part of it." ani naman ni Andrei
"No!!! My father won't do such thing! He...he's a strong ally of the Royal Family!!!" ani naman ni Beatrice na hindi makapaniwala sa mga naririnig.
"Too strong I believe that he wants to get it. I'm sorry Beatrice. The three of us were friends since we were kids, how I wish it doesn't have to be this way." pormal na sagot naman ni Andrei
"I have nothing to do with treason....You have to believe me...Aldrich...please...tell them...you have to believe me....Aldrich.... You knew me since we were three....I won't do anything to harm the Royal family... Aldrich help me...please...." ani naman ni Beatrice na umiiyak na sa pakikiusap sa kaibigan.
"I wish I can believe you Beatrice... But I'm at the point that I don't wanna trust anyone else except my family..." ani Ty na galit ang tanging makikita sa mata habang nakatitig kay Beatrice.
"Aldrich... Tell me what have I done to deserve this..." ani pa ni Beatrice na umiiyak.
"I'm not an imbecile Beatrice.... Your father... Planned it together with the late Viscount Edmund of Artois... Just because I'm not marrying you or Annabelle...now tell me how the fuck will I believe you??!!!!" ani naman ni Ty na puno ng galit.
"What...? I...I...don't know...anything about that Aldrich... Believe me...Aldrich...please..." ani naman ni Beatrice nanakikiusap sa kaibigan.
"Take her away." ani naman ni Ty sa mga gwardiyang kasama ni Andrei.
"Aldrich!!!! You gotta believe me please...! " ani pa ni Beatrice habang hawak na siya ng mga gwardiya.
"I'm sorry Beatrice but you will have a fair trial in front of the Royal Council." ani naman ni Andrei

RomantiekHow do you love someone that you can't help but hate? Is love enough to forget the pain? The hate? Will it ever be enough to be able to love the man who killed the only family you have left? Is it guilt or love? Whatever it is, it may not be enough...
