Chapter 38 - Claiming the throne

Keifer's POV

It's been a week in London and tomorrow is my 18th birthday 🎂 . The day I have been waiting for.Tomorrow I will get my inheritance. The weight of that crown is heavy, but the weight of my sins is heavier.

I was cover in wounds right now, all thanks to my fucking relatives.They hired assians to kill me.The betrayal cuts deeper than the blades they used.I fought them but I'm injured , have wound on my shoulder. I was having drinks one after one.I lost my count after 8 glass.. The alcohol was the only thing numbing the scream in my soul.

I sat on floor holding Jay in Christmas Gift.She was looking so hot 🥵 in this picture.My eyes lingered on every curve, my heart thumping against my ribs in a painful rhythm. I really want to go to her hug , say to her I'm tired.I need someone shoulder where I could lean.

I'm a king tomorrow, but tonight, I'm just a broken boy begging for his Queen.

I messaged her as her Gagonbaliw. She cursed me , threaten me but never block it.Somehow I am little statisfied that she cursed me atleast better than completely shutting me down.Her anger is a tether; as long as she hates me, she hasn't forgotten me.

I know she have some idea 💡 that it is me.But not confirmed.

Section e told she forgave them.Mia also left.She is back to her normal self but still they know something in the way she smile , laugh and stay quiet.There is a ghost in her laughter now, and I am the one who put it there.

I know she hated me now, might be cursing.The word I used you and whole section e knew it. Still comes in my mind again and again.I hatee myself for saying that .Every time I remember the look on her face, I want to rip my own heart out.

I hate being the reason she cries.The way she was crying as if her world 🌎 was falling apart. Don't worry Jay. I will back soon I promise.I will be there for you. I will tell you the truth. Just wait for me Jay..

I didn't the moment I fell to sleep😴. I wake up my phone buzzing fro section e message.They wishing me Happy Birthday.Seeing their messages made my mood little light.I don't why I was hoping for Jay message.Shw even blocked my previous number. I texted her,

*Me*

Love

Are you awake

*Queen 👑*

Hmm

Why did you text late at this time ?

*Me*

I missed you

And

Your wish for my birthday.

*Queen 👑*

Is today your birthday ??

*Me*

Well yeah.

*Queen 👑*

Then

A Very Happy Birthday 🎂 to you

May you live long and happy and stop bothering me ✨

I chuckled slowly seeing her wish.Still my Jay.Even her rejection feels like a gift

*Me*

Thank you so much Queen ❤️

Best wish everyone.

*Queen 👑*

Can I ask you something ?

*Me*

Sure.

*Queen 👑 "

Are you Keifer ??

??

She asked me.I don't know what I should reply.I can't lie also and can't tell her truth also.The secret is a wall between us, but I'm not ready to tear it down until she's safe.

*Me*

I can give you a hint

My name starts with M and ends with N.

*Queen 👑*

Gago, Can't you simply answer my question ⁉️

*Me*

You asked for a answer not for a straight answer.

By the way what are you awake till so late?

*Queen 👑*

Chatting with my boyfriend.

The world stopped spinning. A raw, blinding jealousy flared in my chest, hotter than the wound on my shoulder.

*Me*

WHO IS YOUR BOYFRIEND ??

*Queen 👑*

A human.

Bye.

Good night 🌉

*Me*

Good night.

Don't have wet dreams about me

I was feeling happy that My Queen wished me happy birthday.But who the fuck is her boyfriend.I know maybe she is messing up with me but I need to confirm. I'll tease her forever. If she isn't... God help the man who touched what is mine.I had some other drink and slept.

The next morning I woke with a heavy headache.I went downstairs , Keigan and Honey were already there.They wished me I thanked them .

"Keifer we need to go to office for Paper work 🗞️", Uncle Keir said . I nodded and went my room to change. I wore a sophisticated and professional ensemble featuring a green checked blazer, a light blue dress shirt, and a striped tie.I looked like the Head of an Empire, masking the blood and bruises beneath the expensive silk.

(Check comment)

I reached Watson Enterprises with Uncle and Honey and moved toward meeting room. My grandfather was on the head chair and everyone else was present at their respective seat.The air was thick with greed and silent threats

"As today Keifer turned 18, so according to rules, today he take his position as head of the Watson Enterprises . I hope you all can co-operate with him in future",he announced to board members.

I sat in place and sealed with the legal procedure with Uncle and Kyle.I could feel most of them not happy with this decision.I caught the eyes of the relatives who tried to kill me; they looked at me with venom, but I stared back with the eyes of a predator.But I don't give a damn to it.I had few meetings with board members , standing tall despite the agonizing throb in my shoulder. Every step I took was a reminder that I was still alive, and they had failed.

Now, it was time for the party.

As I walked out of the boardroom, I adjusted my green blazer, feeling the weight of the Watson empire finally resting on my shoulders. I caught my reflection in the glass—the bruises were hidden, the pain was masked, and my eyes were colder than ever.

I took out my phone and looked at Jay's last message one more time. "Chatting with my boyfriend."

A dark, dangerous smirk played on my lips. Let her play her games for now. Let my relatives plot their next move in the shadows. They think they've seen the worst of me, but they have no idea.

"Happy Birthday to me," I whispered to the empty hallway, my voice laced with iron. "The king has claimed his throne, Jay and now soon I will claim what's mine."

I pocketed the phone and headed toward the mansion .
