Keifer's POV
I want to bang my phone on the wall. I use the word 'again'. I'm nervous. I hope she doesn't notice what I said. I read my message for her again. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: it ws nice hearing ur voice again. 😊 She doesn't know me. She knows we've met so she probably won't notice the word 'again'. My carelessness will put me in danger. I'll make sure to double check my message next time. I heard the phone text tone. It was Jay-jay. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: I know you! Good luck! My lips form a smile. I don't sense any irritation from her respond. And she didn't react with the word 'again'. I couldn't stop smiling while typing her reply. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: Gudnyt... I hope you'll have sweetdreams. 😚😚😚 I feel so corny for using emoji. So childish and cringe. But it looks like Jay-jay are enjoying it. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: ikw din. Sweetdreams din. 😊😊😊 Damn it! Why can't I stop smiling? This is just an emoji. I bite my lips while typing a reply. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: nah! But wet dreams will do! I already imagine her reaction. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: Queen Ina ka! Wg ka na nGa txt skin! Lkas mo mkCra ng gv! I knew it! And I laugh so hard. Napahiga na ko sa kama ko sa kakatawa. I'm so in love with this woman. She makes me laugh with her small gesture and curses. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: I more like it when u talk to me like that.. I bit my lips again and waited for her reply. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: You're crazy! Your name is so crazy... GagongBaliw! Sounds like a curse. Should I mentally count that one? It's a name but still a profanity. Oh well... I'll count it. More profanity, more kiss. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: You're crazy and Baliw. How rude. If I were just in front of her now, I might have pinched her cheeks in excitement. I could also stop her in another way. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: I don't know! Don't you want to talk to me! I wonder if you have to go now? Why didn't you reply to me?! I was about to reply to her when suddenly someone knocked on the door. I hid my secret phone and took the original one from my pocket. I also sat up properly on the bed as if I'm doing nothing. "Kuya... Are you still awake?" It was Keigan. "Yeah." The door opened and he entered. He immediately looked at what I was holding. "You're holding your phone." He said while pointing his ï¬nger at my phone. "Yes, just now." "Then why aren't you answering Honey's messages and phone calls?" Shit! I didn't hear my phone ring. I was too busy with Jay-jay. "I'm not in the mood to answer her phone calls. I'm busy thinking about our plan." I said and threw my phone at my back. His forehead creased. "You thought you wouldn't answer her phone calls yet . Kuya! It's important to answer everyone's phone calls! We have something important to do so what they'll say is important too." He scolded me."I'm just thinking a lot." He held out his hand to me. "Hand me your phone. I'll answer the calls for you." I shook my head. "You don't have to. It won't happen again." He sighed. "Next time Kuya. I will take your phone." I simply nodded. "Is that all?" "We'll go back to Watson Enterprise tomorrow. Please, talk to him nicely and don't threaten his life." He was referring to Clyde. I sighs before nodding at him. He turned around and walked out. I breathed a sigh of relief when the door closed. I thought he would ask more questions about what I was doing. Why do I feel like I'm talking to my dad while I'm in front of him? So Bossy. I checked my secret phone. I wanted to text him but he might be asleep. The time in the Philippines is still early so it might be midnight by his side. It's better if I let him sleep. I just hope he sleeps well despite what happened. I hid my phone again and stood up to walk to the bathroom. I placed myself under the shower after removing my clothes. I was actually changing. I felt like I was in another world. And because of that, I couldn't help but be nervous. I couldn't control myself in this place. After taking a shower and changing into my pajamas, I collapsed onto the bed. My body was tired but my mind was awake. I tried to close my eyes and force myself to sleep but it's useless. I got up and rubbed my eyes. I don't know what to do to make myself feel asleep. I took out my original phone again and opened social media. I was only looking at Jay-jay's account. He wasn't posting and only his enemies were commenting on his timeline. If he had a post, it was obvious that it wasn't him. It was Ci-N pretending to be her. I also closed the app when I couldn't see anyone else to flirt with. I sighed. The gallery was my hot spot. Ci-N took most of the pictures here. He told me he would take a nice picture Jay-jay. But he didn't fulï¬ll his promise. Most of the pictures he took were of Jay-jay gaping, closing his eyes or smiling. He also took some while yawning and nose picking. His pictures would ruin his reputation. I just put my cellphone away again and lay down. I rolled around in bed but my spirit was still awake. I kept imagining things. I also thought about how I would approach Jay when I got back. Maybe a deep torrid kiss would do. Maybe he would hit me with a punch. I'll just hug her or buy her an expensive gift. But she don't like material things, she's more into....food! I'll bring her to an eat all you can buffet for a month or year. I think it's better to buy the whole restaurant for her. She'll deï¬nitely like that one. I'll ï¬nd Honey a restaurant with an all you can buffet. I wonder if she's dreaming about me now. Is she eating well? Has she had another ï¬ght? What did Angelo do to her? I'm a bit worried about her family's reaction. Maybe Aries is ï¬ghting her again now. I feel like going home. I don't want to get involved while I'm here. I want to know exactly what's going on with her now. The hell! I should go to sleep! I caught myself rolling over in bed. If I don't stop thinking about her, I might not be able to stop myself and think about going home. I gave her space because she needs it. I can't just go back just because I'm worried. I know she's a strong woman. I trust her and I believe she can face every challenge in her life. I get up and took my original phone. I looked up Rory's name and pressed the call button. ["Hello?"] He answered with sleepy voice. "Rory! I want you to update meâ€"." He cut me off. ["Keifer? Oh my! It's tomorrow! It's already dawn here!"] "I know. I just want to make sure you'll keep me updated on what 's going on with Jay-jay." I heard his soft moan of complaint. ["Yes! Just put me to sleep! Please!"] "Okay... Goodnight." I said and ended the call. I just want to make sure he's safe. Maybe I should call the others too. There's nothing wrong with saying hello every now and then. I put my phone down at my bedside table. I've gone to bed again but I'm not planning on sleeping. I have this feeling that someone is thinking about me. And that someone is her. I smiled as I grabbed my secret phone. I bit my lips while composing and message. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: stop thinking of me. I can't sleep. Not that long when I receive her respond. I knew it she's still awake. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: your face is so stiff! Why are you so stubborn? YOU'RE SO FAST! I laugh shortly. Let's not sleep. Let's do this all night. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: why are you so stubborn? Co'z ur the only person that i'm talking to mula pa kanina. I know she'll insist that I'm wrong. My stubborn Future Mrs. Watson. From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: don't me! Don't blame me! What? Don't? I laugh so hard after reading her message. She really knows how to make me laugh intentionally or not. I type my respond but another message from her came up. I sent my message ï¬rst before reading her new text. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: hahaha... What's with your english? From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: why are you so stubborn! I can't even read it! I immediately typed my answer. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: yes, i am thinking of you. Here in my bed, naked... 😎😉 I can sense her anger from here. I will start counting now! From: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: Ulowl! Wg ka ppkita skin, uuwi kng bali-bli ang buto sa ktwan! Basto ka! Npka-manyak mo! Dpt syo pinuputulan ng anes pra madala! Yng mga ktulad mo dpt ang tinotokhang! I'm having trouble understanding her message but I know she's pissed. Dapat siguro bawas-bawas ko na ang kalokohan. To: MyFutureMrsWatson. Message: i'm just kidding. Yes , i'm thinking of you but not like that. I am thinking of you wearing a wedding gown and walking in the red carpet while looking at me very happy. I always imagine that scenario. Me waiting at the church. Her walking while wearing her beautiful smile. Damn! I hate sounding chessy. I compose another message for her. To: MyFutureMrsWatson Message: and of course... The honeymoon! Yup! She's deï¬nitely cursing now and wishing for my death. I was going to wait for her answer but I ï¬gured it wouldn't be a good idea to keep her awake. She needs to save her energy. Especially now that the Hanamitchis have retreated. She'll be in more trouble. I hide my secret phone and close my eyes. For the last time, no need to try to fall asleep because I really did. I woke up to the sound of my phone. I reached for my secret phone thinking it was ringing. I stopped when the ringing stopped. "Hello." Voice of Keigan. I opened my eyes and looked at her. She was holding my original phone. It's a good thing I didn't take out the other one. "Got it. We'll be there." He said before putting down my phone. I arch a brow when he looked at me. "Too early to scold me." I said with a raspy voice. "Get up. It's late." I looked at the wall clock. 7:15 AM and Keigan considered it late. His time must be different from mine. I was forced to get up. "Get out. I'm going to ï¬x it." I said and he walked out without saying any words. I immediately took out my secret phone and checked if there was a message rom him. Unfortunately, it looked like he fell asleep right away last night. I decided too greet her before hiding my phone again. Keigan came in without me knowing so maybe he would see this if he just left it lying around. I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and ï¬x it. I did it quickly because I knew Keigan would rush me again . And I hate it when he talks to me like our Monster Dad. Honestly, that monster is more like Keigan than me, the eldest. I'm not surprised but I don't want Keigan to end up like him. A heartless monster. I took out both my phones. I hide the other one in my coat while the original one is in my pocket. I leave the room and I'm ï¬ne. Keigan is on his way to call me. "Quickly, please." He said while gesturing his hands. I nodded shortly. He was becoming commanding. Honey and Mr. Raider came out of the suite and greeted me. "I'll take care of Keiren." Mr. Raider said. "Honey will come with you." I winced. I didn't want to! There's no one else? Maybe next time I should call Rory and ask him to work for me here. "What's with the look?" Honey asked me. I shook my head. "Nothing." We walked out of the hotel almost together. Our service is waiting for us. As we got inside, I looked at Honey as she handed me a piece of paper. "What is this?" "Plans of the acting CEO of Watson Enterprise. They plan to expand and increase shares." She explained. "A good plan so that when it's time for you to sit down at the company, he can't be ï¬red because he has more allies and control." That bastard! He's now working on a way to not lose what belongs to me. His courage. We arrived at the Enterprise. There are 3 buildings that belong to our company. The newest is located at the busy street of London. The second one is unknown while the oldest is in front of me now. This building is made of bricks and stone. Similar to the materials used in castles. There is also a third floor and the entire building but because its ceilings are large and high, the whole thing looks like it's up to the ï¬fth floor. Keigan and Honey walk ï¬rst before I follow. Just like before, there was no one in the lobby except for the receptionist, a woman and a man. They greet us by slightly bowing their heads. All I know is that this whole place is just the CEO's office so there's hardly anyone there. The CEO office employees are also here. Entering the Elevator, Keigan pressed the floor. He was the one who broke the silence. "Please Kuya, stop threatening his life." He said sound pleading. He's talking about Clyde. I couldn't help but threaten him especially when I heard him insulting me. Arriving at his office floor. I noticed a few bodyguards waiting at the door of his own office. Did he really feel threatened? They slightly moved aside when they saw us coming. Keigan knocked before opening the door. We almost stopped at the same time when we saw the youngest of the Elders. He was the only Elder who didn't interfere in my inheritance's affairs. I also got the key to the vault at Watson Bank from him. "U-uncle Kier." I said and slightly bowed my head. I slightly glanced at Clyde and I could see the irritation on his face. It seemed like they were talking about something bad. "Have a sit Keifer." He said and motioned his hand to the nearest seats just across Clyde. I sat down and Keigan and Honey followed me. They just stood behind me. "Nice to see you Uncle." Keigan greets him. He looks at him and stares for a while before opening his mouth to speak. "I need a new pair of glasses. I thought you were Kaizer." I didn't notice Keigan's reaction anymore. I know he didn't like what he heard either. Who would want to be the same as that monster? "What's brought you here Uncle." Clyde said and slightly turned to me before facing the Elder again. "I heard you're not letting Keifer to get his rights in this Company. Do you want me to remind you about our deal?" My orehead crease. What deal? What's going on? I don't understand what is this for? But I like the way he scolded my stupid cousin about my rights. "I don't think Keifer is ready." Clyde explained. "Of course he will never be ready. Unless you let him experience things. Give him at least a position in this office." His commanding voice echoed in the whole office. "He's the heir and you're just the acting CEO." Clyde's face showed his refusal. But he couldn't do anything. He was talking to one of the Elders. Although he didn't often talk like other elders, his words were still followed. "B-but the other Elders will notâ€"." "Forget them!" His voice growl like thunder. "Our deal Clyde! I will let you handle the company if you will put Keifer on training. But it looks like you are changing your mind." He bowed his head while clenching his ï¬st. So that's it! He was supposed to train me but now he refuses. No wonder why he managed to become the CEO. "Keifer." Uncle called me. "I know you still don't have a degree. This company requires a school graduate. That's why we can't let you sit on your throne yet." I simply nodded. "I understand." "Clyde will be in charge of everything for your training." He said and stood up. We did the same and watched him leave the office. As the door closed I felt Clyde's hand on my collar. "You bastard don't deserve anything here." He said while clenching his teeth. I pulled his hand away. "Same as you. You tried to fool the youngest Elder." He smirks. "Your grandfather made a mistake. He shouldn't leave everything to you." "Who should he leave it? To you? Then he'll make a disaster." He was clearly upset. He let out a punch that hit the side of my lips. Honey screamed. "Kuya!" It was Keigan. I immediately returned the punch and of course this one wouldn't let me lose. We exchanged powerful punches and kicks. We didn't care where we were anymore. We rolled over the coffee table and executive table. We broke everything. Papers flying in the air and whatnot . "I'll fvcking take everything from you!" He shouts in my ace. I push him hard. "I will never let you!" He stand up and grab me at my shirt. "You don't deserve to be a Watson." "Too late to say! I'm carrying the same last name for almost 18 years now!" He threw a punch but I managed to get a kick out of his leg. He screamed in pain and fell to the floor. "Fvck you!" He shouts at me. "You will loose everything! I'll make sure of that! And I will include your girlâ€"!" I kicked him in the face. He couldn't speak because of the blood and dizziness. I badly want to break his jaw. "What have you done Kuya!" Keigan said while in shock. "Shutting his mouth. He talks too much." I took off my coat and handed it to Honey. I sat down in my seat earlier and opened some buttons of the polo I was wearing. I could break his ery skull. Just don't make the mistake of including Jay-jay.
