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
Nang mga sandaling iyon ay iyak lang iyak si Beatrice. Litong lito siya sa mga nangyayari. Hindi pa rin matanggap ng utak niya na ang daddy ay may kinalaman sa mga sinabi ni Ty kanina.
Nakarating na rin ang balita ng pagkakadakip kay Beatrice. Kaya hindi niya napigilang magtanong sa kapatid.
"Laurice, I wann ask you something." ani naman ni JT
"What is it Kuya?" ani naman ni Laurice
"I've heard that Beatrice has been arrested. Is it true? That she has something to do with it?" tanong naman ni JT
"They have evidence against her father but...but I don't think Beatrice has anything to do with it..." malungkot namang ani Laurice
"Honestly, I don't think she's capable of doing that." ani naman ni JT
"I just hope everything goes well. Kuya...are you...are you worried about her?" ani naman ni Laurice na tinitigan pa ang kapatid.
"No.. No...no...I was just asking that's all." ani naman ni JT
"Ok...if say so..." ani naman ni Laurice na may pilyong ngiti sa labi.
Si Ty naman ay dumaan sa bahay nina JT at kinausap silang lahat. Maayos na rin ito sa kanilang pamilya.
Si JT na ang naghatid kay Ty palabas.
"I don't even know what to call you now. Crawford or Betancourt." ani naman ni JT
"Ty...you can call me Ty..." ani naman ni Ty
"We're not friends remember. " ani naman ni JT
"I know...but we're family..." ani naman ni Ty na nakatingin sa mga mata ni JT.
Si JT naman ay bahagya ng napatawa sa sinabi ni Ty.
"Welcome to the family Ty...and thank you...for giving dad a second chance in life." ani naman ni JT
"Just make sure your sister doesn't know anything about all of you coming. I want it to be a surprise that she won't forget..." ani naman ni Ty na nakangiti kay JT.
"I can do that...see you later on the flight brother-in-law..." ani naman ni JT na inilahad na ang kamay kay Ty.
Iaangat pa lang ni Ty ang kamay para tanggapin ang pakikipagkamay ni JT ay tila gusto niyang sumigaw sa naramdamang sakit.
"Aaaaahhh..." ani Ty na pigil na pigil ang pagsigaw habang hindi niya maigalaw ang kanang braso.
"Ty!" ani naman ni JT na agad dinaluhan si Ty
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" ani naman ni JT
"My arm...I...can't move my arm...dammit!" ani naman ni Ty
"I can take you to the doctor... " ani naman ni JT
"No...it'll pass..." ani naman ni Ty
"Are you sure?" ani naman ni JT
"Yeah..." ani naman ni Ty na tila pinagpawisan ng malamig.
"Who drove you here?" ani naman ni JT
"Me..." ani naman ni Ty
"Come on...I'll drive you home. I'll just ask my driver to follow us in my car." ani naman ni JT
"Thank you. Sorry...I asked Lex to make sure everything's ready for Laurice..." ani naman ni Ty
"It's all good you stubborn asshole...come on." ani naman ni JT na hindi na rin maiwasang mag alala para dito.
Habang nasa sasakyan sila ay hindi naman nakapag pigil si JT na magtanong.
"Ty about Beatrice, are you guys sure she's guilty?" tanong naman ni JT
"I really don't know anymore JT. I've been through a lot and I don't know..." ani naman ni Ty
"I don't know. I can't believe she can do that to you. I mean she cares for you a lot...it's just hard to believe." ani naman ni JT
"I know... But I don't wanna think about that for now...I just wanna make it up to your sister." ani naman ni Ty
"Can I ask you a favor Ty?" ani naman ni JT
"What is it?" ani naman ni Ty
"She's gonna safe right? I mean Beatrice. Since she hasn't been found guilty." ani naman ni JT na tila nahihirapang sabihin ang nais.
Napatingin naman si Ty kay JT sa mga sinabi nito.
"Do you like her?" ani Ty
"What? No...I'm... I was just asking. I really don't mean-" ani JT na tila nataranta sa tanong ni Ty.
"Don't worry, since you asked. I promise to keep her safe." ani naman ni Ty na nginitian si JT.
"Thanks but I...i really don't mean anything. " ani naman ni JT na nagpapaliwanag pa.
"I didn't say anything. " ani naman ni Ty na bahagyang napatawa.
