Author's POV
The moment they reached Watson Mansion…
The real storm began.

Jay's POV
The huge gates opened.
My heart started beating fast.
This is it…
His world.
Kiefer stepped out first and held my hand.
"Don't worry," he whispered.
I nodded.
We walked inside.
Everyone was already there.
Kyla, Kieran, Keegan… and Kaiser.
Their eyes landed on me… then on the ring.
Kyla gasped.
"OH MY GOD—"
Kieran's eyes widened.
"You actually did it?"
Keegan smiled slightly.
"Finally."
Before I could say anything, Kyla ran toward me and hugged me tightly.
"I'm so happy!" she said.
I smiled softly.
But suddenly—
A loud voice echoed.
"This marriage means nothing."
I froze.
Serena.
She stood there, her eyes filled with anger.
"You think you can just walk in here and become part of this family?" she said coldly.
Kiefer stepped in front of me.
"She already is."
The room went silent.
Serena laughed softly.
"This girl will never be accepted."
Kaiser stepped forward.
"That's your opinion."
Everyone turned to him.
"She stays," he said calmly.
Kieran crossed his arms.
"I agree."
Kyla held my hand tighter.
"She's family."
Keegan nodded.
"She belongs here."
Serena's expression darkened.
So now…
She wasn't just against Jay.
She was against all of them.
Author's POV
That night…
The Watson family split.
Not completely…
But enough.
And from that moment…
This was no longer just love.
This was war.
