Chapter-297

Party like a Watson


Keifer's POV


Ion stares at my secret phone for a while.
"Her name is Jay-jay? I thought she's a guy." She said and smiled.
"She's cute. But why is this picture of her? Can I see a decent
photo of her?"
The picture that I saw was from Ci-N. And obviously, she
doesn't look at the camera. Her nostrils are still wide while
looking at someone with a bad look.
Ci-N never gave me a proper shot of her.
"Swipe the screen, maybe you'll find one." I said before sitting down
besides him.
I just finished getting dressed for the party. Ion helps me to choose
after I cried a river. And I can't believe I did it in front of her like a child. I
only cried like that in front of Jay-jay.
She smiled when she saw a few funny faces of my queen.
"I like her already." She said and gave my secret phone back to me.
"She's the reason why you don't want to marry me?"
"And her cousin is the reason why you want to marry me." I stated.
His smile disappeared and he seemed to think that what I said was good.
"Cousin? She's a cousin ofâ€"oh dear." She looks shocked, worried but
then laughs at the end. "What did he say? I know you two are not in the
same boat."
"Well, he obviously doesn't like the idea of me being with his cousin.
Sometimes I receive curses or threats."
She giggled. "He's always been that possessive guy. I didn't know he'll
be the same to his girl cousin."
I arch a brow. I can see glimpses of amazement through her eyes.
"Only to her." I said and stood up.
He followed me. I arranged my stuff and Mom's gift
. She always has a surprise for me. She put so much faith that I'll
receive her gifts.
"How'd you find me anyway?" I ask.
"I called your brother then he called your driver." She smiled
innocently.
I nodded once. I made sure Mom's gift was arranged where
it couldn't be easily seen by others. I have no plan on bringing it to the party.
There's a lot of important documents inside. I went out after Ion.
I saw Uncle getting ready by fixing his bow while his butler was on his side.
"Ready?" He asked me.
"I think." I answered and he chuckled. "I'll wait for you outside."
I went out first. I know Ion is just behind me. I approached the
car that brought her here.
"See you at the party tonight." I said while opening the door.
She walked closer and stopped in front of me. "You mean tomorrow night?"
"Tss. There's no difference. It's my birthday in a few hours."
"Then it's almost your birthday." She smiled lean closer.
I thought she would kiss me on the cheek but she's aiming straight to my lips.
I quickly backed away to avoid it but I hit the car door. She
took advantage of my situation and continued her scheme.
I tried to look away but her lips still rich the side of my lips. I slightly
push her and look at her deadly.
"Ion." I said with authority.
She smiled innocently. "Happy Birthday Keifer. I will always be your
first kiss." She get inside the car.
But you won't be the last.
I close the door and walk away.
I just stopped when I saw Uncle and his butler. They're
both looking at me intently. I heard the sound of
Ion's car.
Uncle shook his head. "Young generation are so complicated."
"I-it's not what you think." I tried to explain but they turned their back.
"What can I say? You're a Watson after all."
He got into his car and I was left standing next to
them. I watch them leave and drove away.
I just sighed. I went straight to my car. My driver
starts the engine and followed Uncle's car. I wipe the side of lips.
Fvck this! Fvck this! Fvck this!
If they find out what she has done I'm doom. I can't believe I let her do
this. I let her kissâ€"yes, it's indirectâ€"but still a kiss.
Jay-jay can't know this, especially not now. She's about to give up on me
now. When she gets to him, she might leave me for good.
I spent several hours of my trip wondering what would happen and how
others would not know what he had done.
I was staring at my secret phone when we reached the Watson Mansion.
Expensive cars are parked in front of the mansion. I checked the time through
my secret phone.
1 hour.
The car stopped and I immediately got out. Uncle and his butler are
waiting for me. They are standing near the door.
"Sorry for keeping you wait." I said.
"Are you ready Birthday boy?" Uncle asked.
I massaged my nape. "Please don't call me that."
He laughed and turned. We start to walk toward the mansion door. There are
some relatives walking with me down the hall.
Some of them greet my Uncle but ignore me like they don't see me.
I'm not sure if they don't know me or they just choose to do so.
When we got to the hall, the staff opened the door. The
music immediately blared from inside. A classical music piece played through a piano.
Let me vomit.
Uncle walked first and his butler and I walked almost at the same time.
Some looked at us and their expressions changed immediately upon
recognizing me. Some immediately avoided and moved away from my path. Some
mumbled and others gave me plastic smiles.
It was still far but I could already hear the loud laughter of the Elders. I
should prepare myself for their insults.
"Kier, you shouldn't be here." The Oldest said when we reached them. "
This is also my house. I have the right to be here, Maveric." He said
with a deadpan look.
"I'm talking about your health condition." The Oldest answered with
irritation.
I saw the superiority through him. Intimidating despite his ages.
Funny. In all my time here, I only just learned the first name of
the oldest. Maybe because I don't usually give a fvck about him.
"My health never matters to you."
I wanted to laugh because Uncle Kier was being so prankish to him.
It was also obvious that he was getting upset. I look at the other Elders who are obviously
unhappy to see us.
One of the Elders who was right next to the oldest looked at me.
"Keifer. Go find Hazel." He commanded.
I nodded briefly and bid my goodbyes to them. I walk around and look
or my cousin like what they ask me to do.
So many rich people.
I almost laugh from what I think. They wouldn't be Watsons if
they weren't rich. I watch how they show their sophistication. Jewelry are
shining from their body parts. Expensive clothes are waived. Too many
oices and too many conversations. Drinks are everywhere and so is the
buffet.
This is the first celebration and this is how a Watson organizes a party.
When they Watson style, they mean it. Party like there's no tomorrow.
Drink like it was your last drink. Dance like no one is watching. And they
say rich people are boring.
Watson birthday party consists of two celebrations, the first one starts at
midnight, waiting for the clock to reach 12 AM. It's their way of welcoming the day
of the celebrants. Second celebration is to wait for the end of the day.
First celebration is usually for the relatives of the celebrant. While the
second is for anyone that they invited.
I don't see the purpose of the two parties. The same thing
happens. Introduce the birthday person, eat, have a little chat,
dance then go home. So what's the difference? This is wasting time.
I saw Hazel talking to someone. I planned not to approach her
but she saw me and she came up to me. She gave me a weak slap on the cheek. Those around us
looked at me . But Hazel immediately smiled and adjusted my dress. "That's not how you wear Gucci." She
said and forced a smile. "Yeah right." I said sarcastically. She leaned closer and whispered. "That's for hurting
my brother." I knew that from the start. My lips form into a smirk and lean closer to her ears. "He deserves it." I
push her slightly and I can see the anger in her eyes. We do have the same eyes when I'm mad. Part of
Watson's traits I guess. "Don't start with me." "Your brother started it. He always tempts my patience." She
sighs. "I let it pass for now. But next time, I'll make you pay." I rolled my eyes. She can make me pay now. I
want to see her capabilities as a Watson. She anchored her hand on my arm. She pulled me closer to the
people she was talking to earlier. "Keifer..." She took my attention. "...this are our other cousins." I look at them
and I almost raised a brow. It was obvious they didn't want to meet me. They just gave me a forced smile.
Others look at me from head to toe. No one wants to come up and get to know each other so Hazel does it for
them. She let go of me and approached one of them. "Keifer, this Angelica Louise Sendrijas. She owns the
Sendrijas pharmaceutical company in Germany." Hazel said. She tried her best not to show her irritation but I
can still sense it. She offered her hands for a shake hands. "Nice to meet the only heir of Watson's inherits."
Angelica said with sarcasm. I just looked at her hand and turned away with a smile. At the corner of my eyes, I
saw how pissed she was. She couldn't take it anymore and walked out. Hazel looked at me with threats. Next
she approached another of our cousins. "I want you to meet the head of the Orcas foundation. Hannah Luisa
Orcas." Hannah just smiled at me but didn't bother to offer her hands. I showed no reactions. Next she
introduced the twins who had been looking at me for a while . "This is Ayana Rain and Dana. They handle a
ery famous jewelry shop in Paris." Hazel said and they both smiled at me. She again dragged me to another
group of people. "Gierence..." She took their attention. "...This is Keifer, our cousin from the Philippines." I
almost raised an eyebrow. It's incomplete. She should inform them that I'm the heirs of the family. The
Gierence offered his hand for a shake but immediately ignored it. He simply nodded and dragged the woman
beside him. "This is my wife Samantha by the way." He introduced his wife but noticed how he glared at me. I
know that look. I'm not interested in his wife. I have my beautiful Jay-jay. Hazel introduced me to many more.
We almost ran out of time when he pulled. But my suffering from her hands has come to its end. The oldest of
the Elders went up to the mini stages and spoke into the mic. I saw our other cousins signaling us to come
closer to the stage. Hazel went first and I followed. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. As the Eldest
member of this family, I would like to thank you for joining us..." He said and raised the glass of champagne.
"As you all know, the only heir of this family is celebrating his upcoming birthday. He's legal age to accept the
first term of the last will and testament of my late brother, Keeper." Yup, I have the same name with him. "From
this night, he will no longer be the bastard of this family but the next CEO of Watson Enterprise. So please
come closer and sing with us. Let's welcome the day of his birth." The big cake was lifted onto the mini stage
with the applause of the guests. It was a shining black covered cake with gold lettering of my name and
'happy birthday'. Very simple yet look so elegant and expensive. Keigan is the one pushing towards the center.
Uncle Kier pushed me to get on the stage. My face showed no reaction as I looked at them all. Keigan smiled
at me while clapping. "Happy Birthday Big Brother." I ruffled his hair. "Thank you Keigan." He stepped aside and
let me approach the cake. The people sang the endless birthday song together . " Happy Birthday to you...."
While looking at them and listening to their song, I can't help but to think of my friends. We use to celebrate
together.Having all night drinks and none stop food party. They even rented this karaoke thing just to watch
Ci-N sing the whole song book. We celebrated like no tomorrow. I can imagine how happy I am and I can be
more happy if Jay-jay have joined us. The song ended and the guests waited for me to blow out the candles. I
did what they had expected and their response was loud applause . Keigan gave me the mic. "Please thank
them for attending your party." I took the microphone and said. "Thank you for attending my birthday party." I
looked at them all and was just as surprised when I saw the unexpected guest. The Monster. "...but I don't
need you here. So please leave and make sure I will never see your faces again." I said without leaving my
eyes on him. I heard the Eldest gasp and Keigan called my name. While the visitors commented harsh words
on me. Some call me bastard while others called me disrespectful.
People slowly walked away except for him and
his men.
"Keifer! What the hell is this?!" The Eldest called me.
"He's here." I said almost whispered.
They all look at the same way that I'm looking at.
"Kaizer." Uncle Kier said.
I felt Keigan's presence at my back. "K-kuya."
"Sshh... I'm here Keigan, I won't let him hurt you." I said without
looking at him.
I heard one of the Eldests ordering the crew.
They immediately moved to close the door after the last guest left.
All the bodyguards appeared and surrounded the entire hall.
The monster clapped as he approached us.
"Happy Birthday my son." He said and spread his arm as if he's
waiting for a hug.
We all got off the mini stage and approached him slightly.
"What the hell are you doing in here?!" Uncle Kier asked with a threat
on his voice.
"Attending the party of my precious son." He said and gave us a pure
evil smile. "Of course I won't miss the special day of my child. After all
I'm his father."
For some reason my heart beats fast when he emphasized the last word. I
wanted to puke but I know there's a deep meaning for it.
"What do you want?" I asked while trying to calm myself. "You will
never get a single penny from my inheritance."
He smiled while shaking his head. "You're like your Mother."
I looked at his companions. I saw Dylan, his hitman looking at
Keigan behind me. I slightly block his view.
"Leave now Kaizer or I will make you." Threat of the oldest.
"Oh please, not yet." He looks like he's talking but
he's smiling. He then looked at me seriously. "We have some important things to
talk about."
"Say what you wanted to say." I glared deadly.
He smirked. "You're the one who will say something to me."
