Chapter 74

“BECAUSE she’s my daughter. The next heir of the company and the mafia. Kung sa ganitong bagay lang ay hindi ko siya mapagkakatiwalaan, paano ko ipapamana sa kan’ya ang lahat ng ‘to?”

“But Vivianne wasn’t interested in those things, and this is too dangerous. If I wasn’t able to go there in time, she might have died.” Nagtangis ang bagang ni Beckett nang sabihin ‘yon.

He can’t imagine what he would do if Vivianne died. Hell, he couldn’t even imagine a life without her. Kapag nangyari ‘yon ay parang namatay na rin siya.

“Kung namatay siya, ibig sabihin ay hindi siya karapat-dapat tawagin na anak ko,” sagot ni Alfred nang walang pag-aalinlangan. “This is her fate, and not her dream to be a dress stylist. Hindi ‘yon ang nababagay na mundo para sa kan’ya.”

“And who are you to decide what she should do?” tanong ni Beckett bago nagpakita ng nakalolokong ngiti. “By the way, I can train her. I know that you did a background check about me. Alam mo na kung sino talaga ako.”

Ngumisi si Alfred.
