Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 45

=== P A T C H ===

4M worth of drugs seized in Nueva Maravilla buy-bust.

That's what all the news had printed all over the broadsheets. The task force also looked into the properties of the family and potential connections to nearby drug cartels.

On that same morning, Willa released the videos taken from the night before where he almost raped a minor and threatening her and her family's life. There was no doubt that Benedicto Formosa, one of the richest families in the province, will be sentenced to life imprisonment because of all of his deeds.

Hindi naman kasama sa plano nila pero may nahanap na litrato sa bahay ng mga Formosa tungkol sa mga karahasang ginawa nito. Lahat ng tao na pinapatay nito at ikinalat ang mga bangkay sa daan. Maraming tao na nasa missing persons list ay kasama sa mga pinatay ng mga ito. It had pictures of how they tortured the people to death. He really was the demon incarnate.

During the flag ceremony, reporters were all over the capitol. They wanted to hear Kylo's opinion on this big story.

"Kayo po ay nagka-ayos kailan lang. Ano pong masasabi ninyo sa mga binabatong alegasyon sa mga Formosa?"

"Those allegations are already confirmed by facts as you've seen. Hindi talaga natin ang alam ang nagtatago sa ilalim ng katauhan ng mga tao. It is sad to know that he chose the dark path. We all thought they were a good bunch of people as they are well known in Nueva Maravilla.

More than the Formosa family, mas iniisip ko ang mga taong dumaan sa mga kamay nila. Maraming pinatay at pinahirapan na parang hayop. They will finally get the justice they deserve."

"Sinasabi ng nag-iisang anak ni Benedicto Formosa na pinlano mo raw lahat ng ito. Lahat raw ay pakana mo para ma-frame up ang ama nito."

"Did she mean that I told her father to pose beside the bloody bodies he just tortured? Did I tell him to touch the drugs he was selling? Did I tell him to keep his drugs beneath his daughter's property? Did I tell him to rape a minor? I don't think I can do that. It's common sense. Kung may dapat man siyang tanungin, iyon ay ang ama niya na nakakulong na ngayon."

He raised his hand as a sign that he won't be answering more questions now.

We went inside up to his office. He greeted his employees as usual before getting inside his office.

Pagkasarang-pagkasara ng pinto ay yumakap ito sa akin.

"I'm so happy I was with you all this time." He gave my knuckles a kiss each after hugging me.

"Do you think...there's still danger from Formosa?"

"Probably not in a while or none at all now. He's in jail. All of his firearms have been seized. Even his men have been arrested and some witnessed against him."

I smiled while looking at him. I was afraid to ask. "Do you still need me by your side?"

"And my family will be home tonight." His face beamed with happiness. "This is perfect."

Napapikit na lang ako nang kintalan ako nito ng halik sa mga labi.

"Ate Patch!"

Masaya kong sinalubong si Kiana na yumakap sa akin.

"You're still here like Kuya promised!"

"I am still here, princess. Did you miss us?"

Marahan itong tumango. "Super! Kuya said we're safe now. Can we go to the mall now?"

Binuhat ito ni Kylo. "Whoa! Not so fast princess. Rest up will you? We can go to the mall this weekend."
