Jay's pov:
I called one of the maids.
Maria: Fayee
Fayee (maid): Miss Anderson and Mr. blackwood
she stepped forward and bowed to us.
Julian: Assist them to their rooms.
I turned towards sec E and family
Jay: Any doubts, you can ask fayee
They nodded
MOM DAD!
The voice echoed. I turned. It was kelly. She hugged us tight.
Julian: hey Kel
Maria: Kelly had fun?
Kelly: Yes mom
***************************************************
Author's pov:
Behind them keifer watched. His jaw tight
Fist rolled up
He stared hard at Jay, Oliver and Kelly
His mind replayed the word mom and dad
**************************************************
Keifer's pov:
When the Kelly shouted mom and dad. I wasn't holding up good. I felt pain. The way kelly told like it was the most natural thing. the way she smiled and laughed at Oliver. I felt hurt. The little girl's words hurt more than Oliver being her fiance.
I was ok with Jay being called mom but Oliver as dad.... NO!
It was not ok. I wanted to go and grab her away from him. But I stayed. I could hear section E and girls muttering
Brooo...
What the hell!
They look like actual parents
It suits them damn
They do look good together
That did it. I walked away.
I saw a tree and punched it hard.
ONCE
TWICE
THRICE
My knuckles were bleeding.
Keifer?
I turned around
Keifer: Jay.....
I hid my hand.
She looked away from my eyes.
She went towards a small box nearby. It was a first aid kit.
Keifer: I'll do it myself....
Jay: Stay!
I saw her focused. She was cleaning my wound bandaging it. when she spoke
Jay: kelly.... I
Keifer: I know you adopted her. we all did. we heard you loud and clear but why Oliver
she looked at.
Jay: bcoz she was entrusted to both of us. She call us that due to gratitude. Her parents they are still alive. She visits them often. We..... are her second parents.
Keifer: you looked like a family.
she chuckled.
Jay: we are! all of us are..... The octane phantom, f4, DOH, Andersons, Reyes, Archer all are. We..... are just not related by blood. Well I should go now, I have a huge punishment that needs to be done!
She handed me a small box.
hugged me and whispered open it
Jay: when your alone. Also you should go and rest. We won't be there for dinner. We will be somewhere in mansion working. Don't look for me!
Before I could process she kissed me quick.
And..... ran away
After realisation hit hard. I smiled and chuckled like an idiot.
Keifer: my wifey.
Fayee took us to our allocated rooms. section E kept asking where I was. I shrugged it off. Bcoz I was excited.
After entering the room, I practically Jumped on to the bed.
I unwrapped the paper to reveal a Graff diamond hallucination watch, it had unique cuts.
A note was tucked beside it: _Time stops when I'm with you
I wore it and kept the letter safe.
Keifer (mind): it perfectly amazing Jay.....
I touched my lips falling asleep slowly.

Author's pov:
After 1hr
Everyone were eating and went to sleep. including kelly.
Meanwhile with Octane phantom:
Juliette: OMG! Is this rule book ever going to end I have been writing for a while now.
Damien: *scoffs* babe how will it end if it has 500+ rules
Lucas chuckled
Max: relax
Ivy: It's not new for us anyways.
Julian: It's better than running 10 laps in a big ground.
Kaito muttered: I might as well do that
Maria: shut up and focus!
All (except julian): ok.....
Juliette: You know it's hard to focus like this! Let's have some fun talks and do our work
Amaid approached carrying a tray of food which was our dinner. she placed it in front of us and bowed.
Maria: Why soup for me?
Maid: Mr blackwood's order maam
Maria frowned
Maria: seriously
she looked at him
he was busy writing the book
he nodded without looking
Maria: ok....
Damien: let's continue babe.
Juliette: so.... Max
Max (mind): oh no!
she smiled awkwardly
Juliette: tell us abt your boyfriend.
Max: NO!
Lucas: Bakit? I pretty sure your the only girl in this group who hadn't moved on From RJ for 4yrs and now you finally found someone so... tell us.
That grabbed everyone's attention
Max looked at maria
she nodded gently to tell wa all were present for her
Max: Deib Lohr Enrile is his name! He's sweet, kind, understanding. It's fun to be with him. I didn't feel lonely with him when you guys were away....
Ivy: does he know abt us?
Max: not yet.... but soon he will!
Lucas: Anyways I have something to say. This is mainly for you maria.
They finished copying the rule book. now they had to do it the second time.
Julian: go ahead! write at the same time
They were focusing and writing
Lucas: ggp wants to do an entire background check on them.
Damien: on who?
Lucas: on sec E, your brothers, family, keifer's....
That stopped Julian and Maria.
Julian took out the 2 small candy, handed one to Maria
Julian and maria: Bakit?
Lucas: Safety reasons. He wants to make sure there isn't a traitor. So that there won't be any problem to your position as head.
Julian: Melody and Daniel agreed
Ivy: Yes. they thought of the same reason
Maria: I don't want to. But.... protocols matter.... So do it.....
They finished the second copy soon and ordered one of their people to take it to ggp.
They started to work on proposals and reviewing related to company.
1hr went by...
Lucas was typing and working faster while Ivy helped him take printouts.
He captured everything: History, parents, medical issue, past relationships, Fights, Families within
Everything was going alright until it came to Yuri.
Lucas was panicked when he came through something shocking!
Lucas: MARIA!
He shouted
Everyone turned to him pen dropping down.
Juliette: What's wrong lucs?
Lucas: the Hanamitichi Clan..... They have hitlist involving you and keifer Watson!!
All: What!!!
Pens slid from some of their hand
Some stopped sipping coffee
Maids muttered
Maid 1: Does that have clan have death wish or smth.
Maid 2 : Exactly! Targeting the queen....
Jay glared that shut them
Damien: Out now!
The maids ran closing the huge door behind them.
Julian: hmm..... it actually makes sense..
Ivy: how?
Julian: you see..... she has been engaged to him but it was cancelled. To them it must have humiliation. So they must have added Maria
Max: then why keifer?
Maria: bcoz he was the one who took me away from yuri
Lucas: I found out more
Ivy: what is baby?
Lucas: Yuri's position as head been disapproved after the engagement. People in his clan took the chance to bring him down. So they made you in the hitlist. What's worse is that the clan has taken his mother away from him! his father..... he refused to support him. To reclaim his position and his mom he has to kill you and keifer....
Damian: Unbelievable
Maria: but it is true! Do me favour lucs.... I need all the recent calls. I need to know who he has been contacting
Julian: I did notice how quite he has been. He hasn't spoken much since he came here. moreover, he looked sad.
