Chapter 13 - Chapter 13- Betrayal

Jayjay's POV:-

"Wait, your wounds might open Angelo", Mam Cindy said worried, but my angel brother was not going to stop. He burst through the door.

"Why the hell are only the two of you here?", he yelled.

Keifer stepped in front of me, he wasn't scared of Kuya at all. "I am here to look after Jay. You passed out and the others were helping Sir Alvin", he explained and I nodded to support him. Kuya seemed to calm down a bit.

"You must be hungry, you have been unconscious for a while, I will prepare porridge for you", Mam Cindy interjected.

Mam Cindy left the room and the three of us talked for a while. I told Kuya that I don't remember what happened and we also did not inform him about Keifer hitting him. Soon Mam Cindy came with a tray full of food.

I smiled and nodded at her, "Thank you". She nodded back before turning to Kuya Angelo and whispering something into his ear. I saw his expression shift, he was mad, Raging even.

I turned to Keifer immediately, "You saw?", I asked him and he nodded. "Follow them", I commanded him but he refused. Gago thought I was in danger because I could get burned by the porridge. The King was dumb. We argued back and forth for a while before I thought of the secret technique.

I made my best puppy dog eyes, "Please, Please Hubby-Hubby,

Hubby-Please-Please", I sang it like I was in a commercial. He let out a soft laugh and turned pink. He looked away and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"Do it again", he said but I refused, we were about to argue further when we heard a crash, Someone was fighting.

"I'll go immediately. Let's go", I said but Keifer declined. He heard another loud crash and he looked back at me. The King had no choice. He got me up on his back and we rushed downstairs.

All the ullupongs were lined up near Kuya, Sir Alvin and Mam Cindy. Kuya turned to he was looking like an angry madman....like Keifer.

"Keifer, take her back inside", Kuya ordered. But my brave boyfriend, hehe. Did not comply. "What is happening here?", Keifer asked Kuya, his voice authorative.

"One of these bastards here, sent Jayjay's photos to that son of a bitch", Kuya shouted while punching Mayo.

"Don't fight with them, I will deal with this", Keifer said and Kuya surprisingly stepped aside. Wow, Kuya is listening to Keifer??

My chest tightened as I realised one of my ullupongs have betrayed me... again

"Either you tell the truth or I will punch each and every one of you until the floor of this house will be painted red", Keifer announced, his voice dangerously serious.

I turned to him, terrified. But his eyes were cold, his expression dark. He was not kidding, but I could see he was not looking anywhere near losing control.

All of the ullupongs started roasting their case one by one until the young snake pointed out, "Drew, why aren't you saying anything?"

All of us immediately turned to Drew who was crouched in a corner looking miserable.

"Drew?", I called out to him, my voice cracked slightly. Drew stood up, avoiding eye contact.

"I sent the photos"

Keifer's POV:-

I was feeling a lot of things at the same time—betrayal, sadness, pain but not anger. This was not me, I was tempted to punch Drew, but somehow I was sure I would not lose control. Did I do it?

"Why?", she asked him, voice cracking, tears filling her eyes and her refusing to let them fall. Seeing her like this broke my heart, it was all too familiar, too familiar to how she was when I had betrayed her trust.

Drew started crying and explained about how loan sharks were after him and none of us would lend him money anymore.

It hurts so much seeing her like this again, broken... She came and stood beside me resting her head on my chest while crying.

I looked over at Angelo who was trying to calm himself down so he wouldn't kill Drew. He looked at me and asked me, "What do you think we should do to this motherfucker?"

I looked over at Jay who was crying and turned to hug her tightly, she instantly broke down in my arms sobbing uncontrollably. If it was the Keifer from a few months ago, he probably would have killed Drew. But something was different in today.

I told her not to worry and everything would be fine. I pressed a kiss on the side of her head. That's when I realized, I was not angry, I was disappointed sure but I wasn't like a raging bull anymore ready to hit anything that came in its way. I was not like my father. I could protect my queen now.

I broke away from the hug, my hand still around Jay, pulling her close, "I want him out of section E", I commanded and Angelo agreed. I looked down at Jay who was sobbing even more now.

"No! please don't remove him from section E", she whimpered. I knew she just wanted to be kind, she valued the bond. But I valued her protection more.

"Jay, this is about your safety. Drew has betrayed section E and broken our trust and friendship. I don't want him anywhere Section E, especially Jay", I declared.

Rory and Edrix went on to defend Drew and Jay joined them but I stood firm as a rock on my decision.

I took Jay and flung her like a sack on my shoulder, gently. I put her to bed and took the bowl of porridge. I don't want to eat, You did not have to be so harsh on Drew", she pouted.

"You know why we call you the Muse of our section?", I asked her and she shook her head. "I suggested that name because from everywhere I have ever travelled here in the whole world, you are the most breathtaking view I have ever had the pleasure to lay eyes on. You, even with your messy hair, wearing my oversized blue hoodie. You, even with bruises all over your body. You, even with your traumatic past and scars that may never mend. Jay, I cannot even go one day without looking at your smile, without knowing how you are. If anything ever happened to you because of a wrong decision that I made, I could never, ever forgive myself.". Tears were about to slip from my eyes but I held them in as I explained the meaning of her title in Section E.

She looked at me sobbing softly and asked "Then how did you live in London?" I turned red, I think its about time I tell her. I pulled out my wallet and showed her the photo I keep of her with me.

Her eyes widened, "Gago!, I did not give you permission to print that photo and keep it"

My smile grew wider and she seemed to get the hint. "Profanityyyy", I said sheepishly and she backed away.😁

"Stay away, no kiss for you!"

"Why?"

Jayjay's POV:-

Shit! I wanted to kiss him too but I can't let him take his after what this idiot just showed me. Quick! Think of an excuse. Cigarette!

"You smell like cigarette", I said proudly thinking he would not question it.

Keifer's POV:-

This girl thought she could just make up any excuse, but she has no idea.

"I quit smoking to kiss you while I was in London!"

Her eyes widened in doubt, she came closer to me to smell my jacket, her face moved up dangerously close to my neck. Before she knew what was happening, I gripped her from the neck and pressed my lips onto hers, she seemed to surrender before pulling away.

She put her hand near the end of my neck.

"You-ou-ch", my heart started beating faster. "Is something wrong?", I asked, my worry evident.

"Sorry, its not you its just that I had fell because of-", I cut her off instantly before she could finish.

"No, I am sorry, I should have known, I hurt you!"

She cupped my cheeks with both her hands and I blushed HARD. "Its not your fault Keifer", she whispered before kissing me softly on the forehead.😘

I had always kissed her on the head but this was the first time she did it. I quickly turned away slowly getting aware of how red I was getting. I felt like I wanted to cry at how sweet she was being, even in pain.

"Keifer", she called out but I was still looking away. She called out my name a few more times but I was too red to turn.

"Hubby", she called out the last time and my head snapped back to her, the neck would have broke with the amount of force I had turned in.

"Its not your fault at all", She said locking her fingers with mine. "Its that Ram, I feel like I want to kill him, what is his problem with me?", she said frustrated.

We talked for a while before she drifted off to sleep. I had fed her food. Gave her medicine and now I was massaging her head gently when suddenly her voice echoed in my head.

I feel like I want to kill him.

Anger was starting to fill me up as the image of her wailing helplessly replayed in my mind. I got up and kissed her on the forehead. "I won't let that bastard ever hurt you again!", I whispered gently before leaving the room.

I opened my phone, Edrix had already sent me the location of the hospital Ram was in before. I walked out the door with heavy steps that echoed on Sir Alvin's porch. He watched me leave the front yard.

"Where do you think you are going?" he asked. I wanted to feel hesitation, double thoughts, guilt. But I saw none.

"To kill an asshole", my voice was deep and stern. I was not joking around. I got in my car and drove to the hospital. I had a gun in my pocket. I walked into the hospital and people seemed to recognize me- A Watson.

I quickly reached to door of Ram's room. I called some of my bodyguards and sent them the location, I told them some mess had to be cleaned up. I opened the door and let myself in. Perfect- he was alone.

I went up-to him. "You here to give your girl to me?", he said with a smug look and that was it. I punched straight in the face and kicked him on the stomach. Blood pooled up in his mouth, the sight was disgusting yet satisfying. I took out the gun from my pocket,the room was soundproof.

The door burst open and my bodyguards got in one by one. Perfect timing. I let out a small laugh.

"Rot in hell dick", I said. I aimed the gun at Ram's chest and fired a bullet right into his heart.

Everything — his clothes, the bed, pillow, got covered in blood quickly.

I turned to my guards, "Take care of him?", I asked and they nodded in unison. I simply walked out of the room, no one went in, no questioning just quiet halls as everyone watched me leave.

I was out in the parking lot when Angelo walked up to me. "What the hell did you do", he asked. I shrugged, "I kept my word and killed that dickhead", I said simply. Angelo's eyes widened in shock, he thought I wouldn't kill. "Don't worry my boys took care of it", I said. Angelo nodded.

There was one more thing I wanted to talk to him about. "Angelo", I called out to him and he looked at me.

"I am worthy, please let me keep Jay, I will protect her", I said, my voice cracking. "I know you have learnt how to control your anger, you are helping her with her past."

My heart rate was so fast it was about to jump out of my chest, my eyes were wide in anticipation, it felt like good news was about to come out of his mouth.

"You have my blessing", I was overwhelmed in happiness, I suddenly hugged Angelo tight, I think I was about to break his ribs.

"Get off of me and you better protect her", he said and I nodded.

I had killed Ram. I had Angelo's blessing. I smiled to myself as I got back in my car.

Wish granted my queen.✨
