Versailles Series Book 4: The Bodyguard [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 42

=== P A T C H ===

We went along our daily routine like nothing happened. Kylo has been very busy since he came back to his newly renovated office which was bombed the last time.

Many expressed their worries when we came back but he patiently assured each and every one that he's okay.

I was busy listening to the bugs we installed in the Formosa mansion. It was boring to listen to everything and nothing comes up. Wala rin naman kaming natanggap na kahit anong tawag tungkol sa nangyari noong gabing iyon. The Formosas are still oblivious to their plans.

Now I'm listening to their conversation somewhere in the house. I thought it was another nonsense conversation but no.

"A virgin you say?" Benedicto said.

"Opo. Pambayad utang daw po ng pamilya. Ilang buwan na po silang hindi nakakabayad ng renta ng bukid. Ngayong biyernes po nila ibibigay."

I took note of the words I didn't understand. I can still go back to the conversation as the feed is directly uploaded to a cloud.

"Ihanda mo na ang kwarto, Jon. Alam mo na ang mangayayari."

"Tulad po ba ng dati Señor?"

"Oo naman. Paglalaruan ko lang naman saglit. Masarap katalik ang mga bata at sariwa. Pwede rin kayo sumunod kung nagsawa na ako. Pero hindi na natin ibabalik sa magulang niya. Sampalin mo ng pera kung kailangan. Kung hindi man, pwede naman nilang samahan ang anak nila sa libingan. Kasya naman ang tatlo ano?"

"Opo Señor."

"Sige. Aabangan ko iyan."

The conversation ended. I sent a note to Willa to transcribe the conversation.

I was in deep thought when I felt a kiss on my temple.

"You're in deep thought."

Nalingunan ko si Kylo na nasa likod ng sofa na kinauupuan ko. Looks like he's back from his meeting.

"I heard a conversation from the Formosas. I don't know if my instincts are wrong but I feel like something bad is going to happen. I'll have Willa send her transcription."

He looked at my scribbles. The longer her stared, the closer his eyebrows went closer together.

"I don't know...from the looks of it, someone indebted to him will be paying him with a person. Someone young. Probably a female as you listed here katalik or a sex partner. They'll pay up the parents...libingan is grave...tatlo is three..."

"Three...the parents and the daughter. They're planning to bury them?"

"We better get the transcription soon."

"What are we gonna do? We can still save her, Kylo."

He touched my shoulder. "Let's plan tonight."
