Jayjay’s POV 🖤💜 A man stood at the doorway, holding a black leather folder in his hands.
He looked calm and professional, but the atmosphere inside the mansion was anything but calm.
Mr.
Willson: “Sir, the papers are ready.” Percy turned toward him.
Percy: “Bring them here, Mr.
Willson.” Mr.
Willson walked toward us and stopped in front of Percy.
He opened the folder.
There were only two documents.
He carefully placed them on the table.
Mr.
Willson: “Sir, these are the two documents you asked me to prepare.” Percy nodded.
Percy: “Explain them.” Mr.
Willson picked up the first document.
Mr.
Willson: “The first document is the partnership agreement between Michael Angelo Fernandez and Mariano Crop.” He paused.
“And as stated in the agreement, once Mr.
Fernandez signs this document, Miss Jay’s engagement with Mr Yuri will be automatically terminated.” The entire room went silent.
The entire room was shocked.
Angelo’s expression immediately darkened.
Angelo: “What?” Percy remained completely calm.
Mr.
Willson then picked up the second document.
Mr.
Willson: “The second document concerns Miss Jayjay’s guardianship.” My eyes widened slightly.
Mr.
Willson: “Once signed, legal guardianship of Miss Jayjay will be transferred to Mr.
Jaspher Mariano, her biological father.” I stared at the document.
My father…
Jaspher Mariano.
The thought of finally being under my father’s protection made something inside my chest ache.
Percy looked at Angelo.
Percy: “All you have to do is sign.” Angelo immediately shook his head.
Angelo: “Absolutely not.” Percy’s expression became colder.
Percy: “Think carefully.” Angelo: “I said no.” Percy slowly leaned back.
Percy: “Then I’ll make this very simple.” His voice was frighteningly calm.
Percy: “Sign the partnership agreement…” He paused.
“…or I’ll bankrupt your company.” Everyone froze.
Angelo stared at him.
Angelo: “You wouldn’t dare.” Percy smiled.
It wasn’t a friendly smile.
Percy: “Try me.” keifer : “What the hell are you doing?” percy : “SHUT UP” percy shouted Angelo clenched his fists.
Angelo: “You can’t destroy everything I’ve built.” Percy: “I can.” His eyes became darker.
Percy: “And I will.” Angelo remained silent.
Percy pushed the document toward him.
Percy: “Sign.” Angelo: “No.” Percy: “Fine.” He picked up his phone.
Percy: “I’ll make one call.” Angelo’s face changed.
Angelo: “Wait.” Percy looked at him.
Percy: “Changed your mind?” Angelo remained stubborn.
Angelo: “I’m still not signing.” Percy sighed.
Percy: “Then we’ll do this the hard way.” He made another call.
Percy: “Prepare everything.” A pause.
“Yes.
His company.” Angelo’s eyes widened.
Angelo: “STOP!” Percy ended the call.
Angelo stared at him.
Percy: “Last chance.” Angelo looked at the document.
Then at Percy.
Then back at the document.
Angelo: “Fine.” He grabbed the pen.
But before he could sign— Yuri stepped forward.
Yuri: “NO!” Everyone looked at him.
Yuri: “I won’t accept this!” He pointed toward the document.
Yuri: “I’m not breaking my engagement with Jay!” Percy rubbed his forehead.
Percy: “Oh, for God’s sake.” Yuri: “This is between me and Jay!” Percy’s patience finally snapped.
Percy: “Shut up, you roaster!
I’m just doing it!” His voice echoed throughout the mansion.
Everyone stared at him.
Yuri’s face reddened.
Yuri: “Percy, you don’t have any rights to speak between us!” My blood immediately started boiling.
I slowly stood up from the table.
Percy glanced at me.
He already knew that look.
I walked toward Yuri.
Yuri: “You should stay out of this.” I stopped directly in front of him.
Jayjay: “Talk to him like that again…” I clenched my fist.
“…and I will bury you alive.” BAM!
My fist connected hard with Yuri’s face.
The room erupted in shocked gasps.
Yuri stumbled backward, holding his cheek.
Everyone stared at me.
I shook my hand slightly.
Jayjay: “Don’t ever disrespect Percy in front of me again.” Percy looked at me.
And despite everything happening around us…
He winked.
Percy: “That’s my girl.” I glared at him.
Jayjay: “Not now, Perse.” Percy immediately raised both hands.
Percy: “Okay, okay.” I rolled my eyes.
Percy turned back toward Angelo.
His expression became serious again.
Percy: “Now.” He pushed the document toward him.
Percy: “Sign it.” Angelo: “No.” Percy: “You’re really testing my patience.” Angelo: “I won’t destroy my family for you.” Percy: “Then watch your company disappear instead.” Angelo stared at him.
Percy: “Sign.” Angelo remained silent.
Percy: “I’m asking you for the last time.” Angelo still refused.
Percy leaned closer.
Percy: “Do you really want me to start taking apart your company piece by piece?” Angelo’s jaw tightened.
Percy: “SIGN.” Another long silence.
Finally…
Angelo grabbed the pen.
He looked at the document one last time.
Then…
He signed.
The sound of the pen scratching against the paper seemed strangely loud in the silent room.
Percy immediately took the document.
He checked the signature carefully.
Then he looked at Angelo.
Percy: “Good.” He placed the first document aside.
The engagement was over.
Just like that.
Yuri stared at the paper in disbelief.
Yuri: “No…” He shook her head.
Yuri: “This can’t be happening.” Percy ignored him.
Instead, he picked up the second document.
The guardianship papers.
He looked at me.
And something changed in his eyes.
All the anger disappeared.
The darkness softened.
His lips curved into a small smile.
But his eyes…
They filled with tears.
Percy walked toward me.
He held the document carefully in his hands.
Percy: “You are free now, baby.” My lips trembled.
I looked down at the papers.
Then back at him.
Tears slowly rolled down my cheeks.
For years…
I had felt trapped.
Trapped by people.
Trapped by decisions I never made.
Trapped by a family that had never truly felt like home.
But now…
For the first time…
I was free.
Jayjay: “I’m finally free now…” My voice broke.
Percy smiled through his tears.
He gently handed the guardianship papers to me.
I took them with trembling hands.
I stared at my father’s name.
Jaspher Mariano.
My guardian.
My father.
My protection.
I held the papers against my chest.
And for the first time in years…
I allowed myself to believe that maybe…
Just maybe…
I could finally have a life of my own.
Percy quietly stood beside me.
He didn’t say anything.
He didn’t need to.
His presence was enough.
I looked at him through my tears.
And whispered— Jayjay: “Thank you, Percy.” He smiled.
Percy: “Always, baby.” And this time…
Those words didn’t feel like a promise.
They felt like freedom.
I hope you’re enjoying the story so far.
