(This chapter will be about keifer's pov where he is in London busy getting his inheritance. Just 1 more week after that he will go back to philippines.)
Keifer's pov:
Almost one month.
Sitting at boardrooms. Negotiating, staring at letters, numbers, discussing strategies.
I was drained to death. Good thing Keigan was there for support.
Just one week more of these trouble.
Because once I'm done with these bullshit I'm free like a bird.
I can look for Jay.
Somehow Make it up to her. And...convince Jay.
I hope she is safe wherever I took her.
I already eliminated all the threats for her.
But I'm not the one....eliminating exactly.....for her....it's someone else.
It's like before I find the threat, or the threat eliminates her....someone eliminates the threat...and it's not me.
Which is pissing me off more than I imagined.
Could it be her brother? But even if it is him. I don't think he is that strong.
But right now.
Everything felt I felt was different.
Broken.
Messy.
Frustration.
I cannot live without her. I need her. and I'm going to find her no matter how long it takes.
Tomorrow is the final meeting with the Mariano's, After that my full attention and priority goes to Jayjay. Her. Only her.
No one else.
Section E got no news from the girls. They tried but even the girls didn't know where she was.
Edrix tried hacking using different accounts.
Failed miserably.
Till now. No new about her from him.
If there is one person who can answer my questions Now.
It's him.
Angelo.
Tomorrow is the final day.
*Tomorrow*
Today was the last day it was going to be about boardroom.
Because after this I'm the king of section E.
Back to my old self.
Hunt for Jay?
Begins once I written. Nothing can stop that fact. Or stop me from finding her.
Last meeting. Today. With the Mariano's.
The conference room was packed.
On the side I saw him. Jaspher Mariano with his assistant.
A business tycoon. Owns the government in new york. Powerful.
A prodigy.
Mariano's are full of prodigies.
If I'm not wrong I remember him having 4 sons, 1 daughter and for some certain reason he never revealed his 2 sons and daughter. His eldest son name was like a ghost that very few people knew about him. He....
Disappeared.
His youngest son. Recently back to his family from abroad. It's all over the new paper. Yet their names never been revealed for some certain reasons.
Meeting started: Paperwork, negotiation, Presentation, planning, proposals.
Again with numbers and letters.
But Jaspher Mariano did not seem like how public described. He looked like...them.
Jayjay and her twin Jare.
Cold. smiled when needed. Nod when necessary.
"Mr. Mariano what do you think about this proposal from us?" I was confident.
But they were high chances of rejection. Afterall, Mine is nothing compared to his.
He paused. Seemed like hesitation. Then smiled. A polite one.
Satisfied he nodded.
"Mr. Watson you truly....met my expectation for someone this young. Truly exceptional."
He signed the contract and stood up so did I.
I took the contract and handed it to honey.
He stood up.
so did I.
"Umm...Mr. Watson can I talk to you alone?"
I thought just for a fraction of second then nodded.
"Meeting dismissed" My voice neutral. cold.
The employees left.
Honey left.
Only me and Mr. Mariano
"Mr. Watson your truly exceptional. Your work is fantastic, truly remarkable. Your young and carried out a meeting extraordinarily. Can you marry my daughter?"
My brain snapped in anger. But I didn't leave my composure. I was not ready to.
"No"
simple.
cold.
One word.
His eyes widened. The returned back to normal.
"N-no?" he stuttered.
Then smiled. filled with warmth.
"I understand Mr. Watson is there a reason. Someone you love?"
"Yes."
No hesitation.
I love my Jay.
"Hmm...I understand can I just know her name?"
I hesitated. What if he does something to her?
But there is no trace of her.
"Jasper Jean. That's her name"
He smiled. Like he knows something.
"Thank you. I understand Mr. Watson"
I nodded at him.
"I hope this won't affect our collaboration Mr. Mariano"
"No...it won't. You were honest. which is good. Honesty is important in business"
I saw him leave. Did I just reject him? He looked scary.

Jaspher's pov:
When he said no.
I stuttered before I could stop myself.
When my daughter told me about him I thought....he will be those kind of rich brats....but he is different.
I thought he loved someone else.
But when he told my daughter's name I smiled.
He ofc doesn't know that my daughter is a mariano.
He told my daughter's name yet....rejected the marriage proposal...he isn't after money.
Not like those other rich brats either.
Good.
"You will regret when you know you rejected your own girl" I whispered and chuckled.
I wonder what his reaction when he knows her identity?
But still....if he loves her....why humiliate her?
You better have yourself to ready to face her family in future.....
