Jay's pov
We were out of hospital, I was discharged.
Section E, keifer and his brothers, my brothers, girls were waiting for me.
Aries approached me. But I just took a step back.
Everyone were shocked.
Aries: are you ok?
Jay: yea! just cautious....
Aries didn't believe it. No one did.
Rakki: so..... where are we going to going?
Jay: Well you guys can go home.
Keifer: without you?
Jay: I have works with the others. Moreover I need to be prepared.
Angelo: for?
Jay: punishments.....
ci-n: we are not going to leave you alone Jay.
Felix muttered: especially not with your so called fiance
But I heard it. clear.
But I didn't respond.
Ella: so where are you heading now?
I still hated her. I still felt her kindness was an act
Jay: To main base.
Section E: us too!
Julian: no
he said calmly. very clam. which wasn't good.
but keifer matched his tone and attitude.
Keifer: and why is that Oliver? so you could get an alone time with her.
Keifer was jealous.
Julian's tone changed as the crown prince.
Oliver: Mr. Watson I think I should remind you that you used her. Honestly.... I wonder how people like you even have the guts to talk after what you did. You actually planned to use her for revenge against her brother.
everyone froze. Keifer's brothers were shocked.
Julian moved forward to keifer.
Angelo was about to explode.
Oliver: Revenge is only for the weakest and you people
he pointed his finger to keifer and chuckled.
" and you just proved you are week."
" all of you did"
Keifer was pale now.
He opened his mouth and closed it. Keifer's brother were frightened. section E looking guilty.
Girls pitied.
And I?
Just stood there watching everything. I wanted to say something. I wanted to cry. I wanted to cover my ears. I wanted to stop julian but I didn't bcoz he was the only one..... Who actually trusted me, who believed. Not only him. They built me for who I am today....
His family
Everytime I hear the word family..... my mind only goes to Julian's parents.
I snapped back to reality.
Julian took few steps back standing beside me.
then kaito said
Kaito: You only know us as humans not as Octane phantoms!
Juliette chuckled
Damien smirked
People know how dangerous that name was. People work like shadows. And we were that group.
I looked at Julian and he looked at me. we both nodded.
Julian: enough! It's time. Since they want to come so badly let's go to the 2nd base. Main base is too dangerous for them.
They didn't speak much everyone hopped onto the bus. I went with Julian on his car.
In the car:
Julian: why was your watch in vibration mode?
He pulled out the pills and handed it to me.
he was still driving.
Maria: I didn't want them to know.
I swallowed the pill.
Julian: what if you fainted?
Maria: coming from someone who is the same situation as me.
He sighed
Julian: Don't joke.
Maria: Is kelly in the secondary base too?
Julian: yes.... Does sec E know abt her.
Maria: I mean they did listen when we explained everything to Kaito..... so ig it's a yes.
He nodded.
Julian: you could have stopped me....
Maria: I know you. you never step on boundaries.
.....
Maria: When do you plan on fixing your relationship with your elder brother.
He stayed silent for a minute.
Julian: I Don't know....
He pulled out a small candy. Blueberry flavour. It was our favourite flavour.
A candy that his parents made. The recipes of of many blueberry flavour that only we ( Julian, Juliette, me) knew. Now he made it. it was special.
Memories flashed. Every month his parents and us baked blueberry cake together. It showed unity.
I took it.
A silent tear fell.
Maria: I miss mom and dad
Julian: me too...
They were my mom and dad too.....
We reached the base soon.
Everyone stood in shock. they looked around.
The gates of base swung open, revealing a driveway that wound its way up to the mafia's luxurious mansion. The exterior was a masterpiece of discreet opulence, with classic architecture and manicured lawns that seemed to stretch on forever.
As you stepped into the grand foyer, the sound of clanging glasses and murmured conversations filled the air. Marble floors gleamed beneath your feet, and a chandelier above seemed to cast a golden glow over the proceedings. A staircase curved like a work of art, leading up to the private quarters where the big boss held sway.
To your left, the study beckoned, with its dark wood paneling and leather-bound books.
the sound of laughter and music drifted in from the lounge. You caught a glimpse of a poker game in full swing, with a few familiar faces and a lot of cash on the table.
I showed them around the shooting range, gym, dining area, kitchen, Arcade, clinic.
EVERYTHING!
section E stood speechless
Felix: Jay.... how much exactly do you own
Jay: 8 bases, 8 mansion, hospitals, parks.... and more properties
Section E shouted
8!
Mansions
Bro why do have these any ways!?
What the
how!
.....
The questions were kept firing.
Jay: relax. I bought it for fun and I have 8 for everything bcoz it represents 8 of us.
Grace: Aren't there only 7 of you.
Jay: there is 1 more person but... Nevermind you will meet him after.
Drew: Jay why are you always surrounded by boys?
Jay: I get along with boys easier idiot. Now come let's go to the back base.
Keifer: back base?
Julian: there is private ground and many rooms maybe around 30 or 40. Ground is huge filled with assassins. do not mess with them they are well trained.
Maria: they might be having dinner now anyways julian
he rolled his eyes.
We were walking to the back base. Group of people were already at the entrance. They bowed
Assassin 1: k-king a-and queen welcome!
They were sweating.
They looked terrified.
Julian noticed and so did I
Juliette: what's going on?
Assassin 1: there is a fight. A boy. He looked young. He's maybe 14 or smth. He beat up most of us.
Damien: what the hell.
Ivy: you guys actually lost to a 14yrs old. Are you guys even well-trained?
Everyone were shocked.
A boy stood choking a person. it was one of the assassin
Angelo: He looks familiar.
Angelo looked at Julian. Julian's fist were clenched.
Section E mumered
some swore under breathe
some were shocked
Bcoz the boy looked like Julian and Juliette
The octane phantom and Angelo know who he was.
Boy: Next time.... Don't tell me a bastard child.
He looked at us and froze
He smiled genuine and sweetly.
He walked towards us and hugged me!
