Keifer POV: 🖤
Four hours.
Four bloody, agonizing hours of dead silence.
Still no news about jay.⏳💔
My mind was playing the absolute worst scenarios over and over.
(Where is she?
Is she hurt?
Is she crying?) 🧠💥😭
KEIF!
her secondary wearable tracker just pinged a brief signal near the abandoned harbor warehouses!” Edrix shouted, pointing at a red blinking dot on his monitor!
📍⚡
Kuya Angelo grabbed his coat, his eyes burning with lethal intent.
“Aries, Keifer, Percy.
Get in the car.
We’re tearing that place apart.” 🚗💨🔥
Suddenly, the front gate rattled open!
🚗💨
Kuya Angelo grabbed his keys, and I charged out the front door ready for a bloodbath!
💥🚪
Standing on the driveway…
was Jay looking completely relaxed and unbothered 🌸
She was holding a massive box of pizza in one hand, a chocolate ice-cream in the other, and carrying bags of burgers and drinks!
🍕🥤
Everyone POV: 👥😱
All of us stood completely frozen in place.
Our jaws literally hit the floor.
💥
The absolute silence in the driveway was deafening.
Jay took a slow bite of her chocolate ice cream, blinked up at us in complete confusion, and tilted her head.
🍨❓
“Why…
why are you guys all staring at me like that?” Jay asked softly.
J-JAY-JAY?!” Ci-N squeaked out, pointing a trembling finger at her like he was seeing a ghost.
🫨💥
Kuya Angelo’s face turned from terrifying, murderous rage to pure, utter, mind-boggling shock.
🤯
“JAY!
WHERE THE ABSOLUTE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE LAST FOUR HOURS?!” Kuya Angelo bellowed at the top of his lungs!
🤬❓
Aries blinked rapidly, staring at the huge ice cream and all the bags of food in her hand, completely speechless.
” Were you…
were you actually kidnapped…or did you just sneak out to buy midnight snacks?!” Aries gasped in sheer disbelief!
🥳🍦💥
“It seems like you went to a party!” Aries shouted, staring at the huge mountain of food bags in her hands!
🍕🍟🎉
My heart was beating so fast in my chest I could barely breathe.
I stepped forward, taking her in completely to make sure she wasn’t bleeding or bruised anywhere.
🥺💔
”Are you okay, Jay?!” I blurted out, my voice trembling from the sheer panic of the last four hours!
😭⚡
Section E POV: 🎒👥
“Why are you carrying so much food?!” Felix yelled, pointing a dramatic finger directly at the paper bags overflowing with burgers!
😱🍔
”I WANT TO BE KIDNAPPED TOO IF THE KIDNAPPING IS THIS GOOD!” Ci-N squeaked out, his eyes instantly turning into giant shiny hearts at the sight of the pizza box!
🤤🍕✨
Jay POV: 🌸
Everyone was firing questions at me all at once without giving me even a single second to answer or breathe!
🤯❓
(Oh my gosh, if they don’t stop screaming, my ears are going to explode!) 🙉⚡
“Hey!
Stop shouting all at once!
I can’t even hear myself think!” I yelled back, holding up my hands to stop the chaos.
🙅♀️💥
When they finally stopped shouting, I blinked and told them softly, “Guys, I’m completely okay!
Really…
and look, all this food is actually for us to share!” 🍕🥤
Right then, one of the men who had brought me back—holding the rest of the heavy food bags—walked up, handed them over to Aries, and bowed deeply.
🙇♂️🛍️
“We are deeply sorry for the immense trouble and worry we caused all of you tonight,” the man said, bowing again.
🙇♂️💦
All of Section E just stood there completely stunned and bewildered, unable to comprehend what was happening in front of their eyes!
😵💫💥
“Wait…
sorry for what?
And why?!” Kuya Angelo demanded, stepping forward with his eyes narrowing in intense suspicion!
👿🔥
So, the man nervously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained, “Sir, our team accidentally kidnapped the wrong person due to a stupid location glitch on our GPS tracking system!
📍❌ Our head boss arrived late at the warehouse to verify the target, only to realize we picked up the wrong girl!” 🤦♂️💨
“So why the hell did you buy her an entire banquet?!” Aries blurted out, staring at the endless food.
🤯🍕
“When our boss asked her what she wanted as compensation for our grave mistake, she looked him dead in the eye and said…” The man paused, looking at me.
“I told him I was starving!” I chimed in with a sheepish grin.
“So he bought a whole feast before sending me back home!” 🍕🎁✨
Everyone stood there frozen by what they just heard…
💥
(Wait…
did they all just stop breathing?!) 🙈⚡
Nobody moved.
Nobody said a word.
The entire driveway went dead silent.
Ci-N’s jaw was practically scraping the gravel floor.
🫨
Aries looked like his brain had completely short-circuited.
🤯
And Keifer…
Keifer just stood there staring at me, his eyes wide in utter disbelief, his chest still heaving from pure relief and sheer outrage mixed together!
🫀⚡
”Wait…” Felix stammered, pointing a trembling finger at the endless bags of burgers and pizza boxes.
“You…
you got kidnapped by a dangerous gang, and you made them buy you a whole feast?!” 😱🍕🍟
Slowly, Kuya Angelo’s terrifying glare shifted from the dark street where the kidnappers’ car had just vanished…
straight to me.
👿🔥
His eyes narrowed into two dangerous, razor-thin slits.
A dark, bulging vein pulsed violently on his temple.
🩸⚡
(Uh oh…
why do I feel like I survived a criminal syndicate, only to be executed right here by my own brother?!) 🙈💥💦
