Percy’s POV 🖤💜 I waited.
I didn’t move.
I didn’t say a single word.
I simply watched Jay disappear up the staircase.
One step…
Then another…
Until she completely disappeared from my sight.
I waited a few more seconds.
Then— CLICK.
The sound of her bedroom door locking reached my ears.
Only then did I finally relax my shoulders.
I slowly turned around.
And my eyes immediately met Aris’s.
He was still standing there, looking confused and guilty at the same time.
I stared at him for a few seconds.
Percy: “You were scared of your own sister?” My voice was calm.
Too calm.
Percy: “She wasn’t in her senses, Aris.” Aris clenched his jaw.
Aris: “You don’t know what she had become at that time.” A small, bitter smile appeared on my face.
I slowly pointed toward myself.
Percy: “You think I don’t know?” I gave a quiet laugh.
Percy: “What happened to you is nothing compared to what happened to me.” Everyone became silent.
Percy: “She stabbed me.” I paused.
“Not once.” “Twice.” Several people gasped.
But I continued.
Percy: “And you know what?” I looked directly into Aris’s eyes.
Percy: “I was never scared of her.” My voice became softer.
“Because I knew what she had been through.” I took a deep breath.
Percy: “Do you know what actually scared me?” Nobody answered.
My eyes started burning.
Percy: “Her.” I swallowed hard.
“Not because she could hurt me…” “But because I was terrified of losing her.” My voice cracked.
Percy: “After that incident, she didn’t say a single word for five days.” The room became completely silent.
Percy: “Five days.” “She locked herself inside that room.” “She barely ate.” “She barely slept.” “And she wouldn’t let me near her.” I wiped the corner of my eye.
Percy: “I was scared.” My voice trembled.
“Not because she had stabbed me.” “I was scared she would do something to herself.” I looked down.
Percy: “And she was scared she would do something to me because she was terrified of what she had done.” My chest tightened.
Percy: “That’s why she locked herself away.” “I kept trying to talk to her.” “Every single day.” “On the fifth day, I finally managed to get her to speak to me.” I closed my eyes.
Percy: “We were talking…” My voice broke.
“And suddenly…” “She fainted.” Everyone stared at me.
Percy: “When she woke up…” I took a shaky breath.
“She didn’t remember anything.” A tear slipped down my cheek.
Percy: “And I felt relieved.” I looked at Aris.
“Not because I wanted her to forget.” “But because I thought…” “At least she won’t blame herself anymore.” My tears finally fell.
Percy: “I was so fucking scared during those five days.” I wiped my face with the back of my hand.
Percy: “Not because she stabbed me.” “I was scared of watching her destroy herself.” “I was scared of losing her.” My voice became almost a whisper.
Percy: “Two days later, she finally woke up completely after fainting.” I looked down at my hands.
Percy: “Those two days…” “I never left her.” “Not even once.” I swallowed the lump in my throat.
Percy: “I held her hand the entire time.” “I was scared that if I let go…” “I’d lose her.” My voice completely broke.
Percy: “I couldn’t take that chance.” 🥺 Nobody spoke.
Even Aris looked shaken.
For the first time, I could see something in his eyes.
Regret.
Then— Jeena gave a mocking smile.
Jeena: “So she really is a monster, isn’t she?” Something inside me snapped.
I looked at her.
For a moment…
I couldn’t hear anything else.
Then I walked straight toward her.
SLAP!
The sound echoed throughout the mansion.
Jeena’s head snapped to the side.
Everyone froze.
Everyone: “PERCY!” I stood there, breathing heavily.
My hand was still raised.
I looked at Jeena with pure anger.
CLICK…
i heard jay’s room door opened slowly Percy: “Keep your mouths shut.” Nobody moved.
Percy: “Every single one of you.” My voice echoed through the room.
Percy: “If anyone says one more fucking thing about Jay…” I took a step forward.
Percy: “I won’t think twice before taking action.” Suddenly— Footsteps.
Fast footsteps.
Jay came running down the staircase.
Jay: “What happened?!” She reached the end of the stairs and looked around the room.
Jay: “Why did everyone shout your name, Perse?” I immediately changed my expression.
I couldn’t let her know.
Not this.
Not now.
I looked at her and smiled softly.
Percy: “Nothing, baby.” I pointed toward myself.
Percy: “I just lost my balance and fell down.” Jay blinked.
Jay: “You…
fell?” Percy: “Yeah.” She looked at me suspiciously.
Jay: “Are you okay?” Then she sighed.
Jay: “Why are you always like this?” 😑 I smiled.
Percy: “I’m fine.” Then I remembered why she had come downstairs.
Percy: “Finish your call.” She nodded.
Percy: “then start packing your bags.” Jay’s eyes widened.
Jay: “What?” Percy: “We’re leaving.” Before she could say anything— Everyone: “NO!” The entire room shouted together.
Jay looked at everyone in confusion.
I calmly looked at her.
Percy: “You just go.” I smiled reassuringly.
Percy: “I’ll handle them.” Jay hesitated.
She looked at everyone.
Then back at me.
Finally, she nodded.
Jay: “Okay…” She slowly turned around and went back upstairs.
I watched her until she disappeared.
Then I turned back toward Jeena.
My expression immediately became cold again.
Percy: “That was your last warning.” Jeena swallowed.
Percy: “Don’t think that I’ll forgive you, because I’m not Jay.” I stepped closer.
Percy: “Everything happening to her right now…” I pointed toward her.
Percy: “It started because of you.” Jeena’s face went pale.
Percy: “And don’t think I don’t have evidence.” I pulled out my phone.
Percy: “I have everything.” “Messages.” “Records.” “Documents.” “Conversations.” “Everything.” Jeena stared at me in horror.
Percy: “Jay might leave you.” My voice became dangerously quiet.
Percy: “But I won’t.” I leaned slightly toward her.
Percy: “If you say one more word against her…” I paused.
Percy: “I’ll make sure you regret it.” Jeena’s lips trembled.
Percy: “Understand?” Jeena: “Y…
yes.” Percy: “Good.” I stepped back.
But before anyone could speak, Aris suddenly interrupted.
Aris: “Wait.” I looked at him.
Aris hesitated.
Aris: “If Jay was living with Jeena…” He looked toward Jeena.
“…then how did she not know about Jay meeting you?” The room went silent.
I slowly turned toward Jeena.
She froze.
I stared directly into her eyes.
Percy: “That’s a good question.” Jeena looked away.
Percy: “Don’t you think?” She didn’t answer.
I took another step toward her.
Percy: “Why don’t you answer it?” Jeena’s face became pale.
Angelo immediately looked at her.
Angelo: “Tita…” His voice was filled with confusion.
“What did you do?” Jeena’s eyes widened.
Angelo: “What did you hide from us?” She remained silent.
Angelo’s expression hardened.
Angelo: “Tita, I’m asking you.” “WHAT DID YOU DO?” The room fell silent again.
And this time…
Nobody was looking at me.
Everyone was looking at Jeena.
Waiting for her answer.
I folded my arms.
I already knew the truth.
Now…
I wanted them to hear it from her.
