Final Hustle

Keifer's POV

I saw Jay was sleeping by keeping her head on my shoulder, her warm breaths were touching my neck and I felt blessed to have her by my side, finally... The flight was long, it used to be exhausting earlier when I travelled alone but today she's right beside me and I don't want this journey to get over but I just want to keep walking by holding her hands for my lifetime. I rested my head on her head and soon drifted away by sleep.

I was still in deep sleep, then felt some wetness over my neck, no way my plane crashed again and it's sinking into the sea, I don't want to die again I mean to get away from her and my family, not again...I've already planned our wedding..a grand wedding..then our honeymoon on our private island, then making babies to create our personal cricket team..let it be a dream God. But it's only on my neck and I opened my eyes with a jerk and realised it's Jay, ahh...she's drooling.

Her eyes were close, mouth partially opened and hands wrapped around mine, I took out my phone and clicked a picture of us, she's looking so cute...my messy cat. I need to drink water, but I chose to stay like this so that she won't get disturb.

I couldn't help adoring her, "if love is a religion, then she's my God and I'm her devotee...if love is philosophy then she's the concept of eudaimonia, my happiness...if love is a drug then she's the most expensive and I'm addicted...if love is cricket then she's my toe crushing yorker, putting all the efforts to learn it".

She moved a bit, her knees touching mine and some of her hair came on her face, I brushed them off and my face itself moved towards her, "sorry for stealing away a kiss while you're sleeping", and I pecked her upper lip.. She folds her lips, "it's yum! I love tiramisu", I chuckled, do I taste like Tiramisu, really?

I was observing her little movements, feeling her breathes and touches...and of course bathing in her saliva she's drooling again, "be a gentleman Keifer, she's your wife and...", the pilot announced for the landing, which woke her up, she find me staring at her, I smiled, and she's about to wipe her face with hands but I stopped her, and took out my handkerchief and wiped off the place around her lips.

"Yuck! I drooled over you, your neck is...", she said while being embarrassed, I wiped off my neck as well, "it's okay! I've kissed you many a time, already knows how your saliva tastes so...", she cut me off, "idiot". I kept my eyes fixed on her face. "Don't you get tired of looking at me?". I held her chin and kissed her lips again lightly, "never...I can just see this beautiful face for my lifetime", she hits on my arm she's holding and sits straight.

"You should consider giving auditions for dramas", she snorted, I giggled, "well, you're right but then I'll always become famous. Of course I'm handsome and then girls will get crazy for me, they'll start having crush on me, my Dms will get full with their confessions, God! I'll be followed...", she pinched me, "I dare you to do that! I'll poke the eyes of such girls who will ever look at you".

My possessive wife, "you're so violent, but don't worry I'm all yours", she hissed and starts looking out the window, and a smile appeared on her face, "In past two years, whenever I flew it's for you, in search of you and today you're here with me. If I hadn't dream about getting you back that day maybe I'd have never found you".

I cupped her face, "but I must not have let you go...I was with you and I'm with you", I saw tears welling up in her eyes, "hey! I hate seeing you cry, you know I hate tears", she smiled while her tears rolled down but I wiped them off.

It's final call before landing, we buckled up our seatbelt, the plane changes it's angle and with a whirring sound it lands on London Heathrow Airport. Again this place, which hurt me a lot cause the memories I've with it are haunting, my wealth is here but I've only lost everything, either my mom for it or myself. But it's final take, and I'm going to win this time.

At first, we directly went to my mansion, as we entered the main door, the gatekeepers opened the car's door and greeted us, she curiously asked, "why aren't they shocked after seeing you?", I just smiled, she got it, "they knew it, right?". As we go inside the home, the house help didn't know and were shocked, the one who was cleaning nearly fall, someone holding water spilled it, "Sir!", it's really expected and it'll be more fun to meet my family, the fucking one who celebrated my death.

When I entered my room as it's I left, Jay was standing beside me, "I never let anyone touch your belongings", I smiled and looked around, and my diary, "did you read it?", she nodded, "I did...and hated you for hiding this all". Well...let bygones be bygones.

"Let's change and then we will go to office", she said, and I just nodded. After the meals, and regaining the strength, I called Mr Ryder to meet me, at first he thought it's a prank call but it's Jay on whom he trusted. When he saw me he's blank, I didn't tell him because his niece, Honey has got a big mouth. Well, thanks to him for all legal aid he provided to Jay and Keigan behind me.

I hugged him, and explained the things but a voice diverted our attention, "Oh my God, Kieferr...it's true", it's Honey, she kind of did her dramatic run and hugged me, "it's true...you're really alive", I slightly hugged her but then my eyes goes over Jay and her bombastic side eyes and immediately backed off, "yes...", but Jay cut her off, "I was missing him so badly that I found his doppelganger", and she pulled me towards herself.

I was quiet cause I know just one more word and I'm a dead meat, Honey flipped her hair, "whatever... there's no one like Keifer, only one like me", Jay coughed, "my Keifer...and yes only one and only mine", she elbowed me, I gulped, "only hers". Honey laughed, "huh! of course and my nose is precious". 

It's time to go to the office of Watson Enterprises, the name was high but people inside were of low standards well that's the reality of every fucking enterprise, the war to hold power and mine is with my own father but I'm here to end this all. Jay gets off the car to move inside, I was confident...but something inside was making me nervous as well, I don't know maybe it's been long. Finally, I gathered myself up and came out.

Jay was moving ahead, I was following her, and every face I was crossing was shocked, looking at me like there's a ghost well seeing a person who was announced dead is of course shocking, she entered straight into the cabinet, and I was just behind her, she turned to me, "let's just call a meeting and inform them". I agree with her, she moved close and smiled, "it's time for you to take over the things belongs to you".

I took a deep breath, "yes!", she tilted her head a bit, "Mr Mark Keifer Watson needs to look confident and fierce as always", she lifted up her toes a bit and fixed my neck tie, and asked me down my head and I did so she fixed my hair as well, "Perfect Mr CEO", how come I'm not supposed to fall for her...again and again.

The door was knocked, and Jay let the person come inside, "finally you're back", it's Clyde. It seems like he hasn't noticed me yet, "employees are looking confused and you've asked for meeting, is it you're going to announce our official relation..", this jerk, I'll beat the hell out of him, I coughed, "just a min Keigan", he turns to me, "how did you got so tall after visiting Australia".

Jay chuckled, I rolled my eyes, "you don't recognize me, my dear cousin", I moved forward, "your own Keifer", his eyes widened and lips parted away "Kei...Keifer...", I smirked, "yes Keifer", he rubbed his eyes, once then twice then pinched himself and looked at Jay, "Keifer?", she nodded, "Keifer". He took the support of a wall.

I nodded my head, "nice to see you", he smiled, "same here, brother, he forwarded his hands, "but how did...?". I shook hands with him, "miracle", his smile was confusing, though he's changed a lot, maybe my Jay carries some magic that everyone around her turn into some good soul. He left the room. 

All the employees were collected in the seminar hall, "So Mark Keifer Watson is back", I said in a determined voice like announcing my arrival in the world of all powerful men, and I'm here to rule, they all were looking lost, I tried to explain them, then Jay take over, "welcome your real CEO, he's and he'll always be the one".  

Everyone dispersed, Jay took the seat, "it's done", I ruffled her hair, "not yet ...still a threat is here". She sighed, but I assured her that it's going to fine, "I'll bring you cappuccino ". I left, and asked someone to bring coffee in Jay's cabin. I turned to go back and saw some of the employees looking scared, "what's wrong?", one of them said, "your father is here", pointed at seminar room.

The monster, unluckily my father, whenever I see him, it just boils up my blood, the pain he gave us...to my mother, to me and my siblings. The injuries which can never be healed, this man is behind that all. I can never forget the scars he left on my heart, the voice of my mother screaming when he killed her, in front of my eyes and I was so weak to save her. The loud cries of mine, the mercy I asked from God to save us.

My eyes were burning, he made our life hell, he took away all the happiness, stole my childhood and just left the memories that keeps haunting. If it's not Jay, I would've never been able to cop up and feel loved again. But it's not enough, he tried to kill me, snatch away my Jay, but that's all, I'm strong now and can protect the one I love.

As soon as I was approaching him, all the things he did to us rolled down in my mind, the blood of my mom, scars on my body, and the words, "just kill him, yes I don't have any other option for my stubborn son Keifer, he's like his mother, just get rid of him". And the hard time he must have gave to Jay for Keigan's custody, it's time for the justice.

I reached near the room, he was yelling "I was stuck in some work, and you thought you're free and your fucking cousins can save you, Girl! just sign here otherwise", but Jay reverted fiercely, and he moved towards her but before he can hurt her, I pushed him off with all my force.

"Don't you dare to look at my woman, I never raised my voice at Jay...and will never let anyone do that", he almost fall but balanced himself , "Keifer! so it's true", a smirk around his lips, "my son you're alive, I can't tell you how much happy I'm to see you again".

I scoffed, "bullshit! happy my foot. what do you think it's only you who knows to plan". He laughed, "behave, I'm your father". I clenched my jaws, "huh! that's my poor luck, idk what did I do to deserve to have such fucking father, who plots his own son's death".

His eyes sharpen, "what? me?", he turns to Jay, "look what he's saying...it's you who instigated him against me. Why would I do this to my child, I'm a harsh father but not cruel. You're just behind my son's money", I held his collar, "it's you who thinks about money all the time, you're greedy".

"Keifer", he shouted but my voice was double than that of him, "I'll not scared of you", he removed my hands and squeezed my face, "you're really my son, so daring but remember I'm your father...the one you brought into this world", he jerked my face even pushed me, "I'd have killed you on the same day I killed your mother". Jay runs towards me and holds me.

He throws the file on table, "sign here Mariano! otherwise, he's already dead for all, the same will happen to you, then you two love birds could keep celebrating your fucking love story in front of Serina", Jay smirked, "I'd have signed these two years back if I feared your threats, and now Keifer is back so...".
