Ch147- Forever
Watson Mansion Garden
5:30 PM
The day had finally arrived.
---
After wars.
---
After losses.
---
After tears nobody saw.
---
After moments where they thought they would never reach this day.
---
They did.
---
The garden was glowing.
---
White flowers everywhere.
---
Soft lights.
---
A sea of familiar faces.
---
Family.
---
Friends.
---
Survivors.
---
Everyone who had walked through hell with them was here.
---
And at the end of the aisle—
stood Keifer Watson.
---
The man who once thought love was a weakness.
---
The man who never believed someone could become his home.
---
Until Jasper Jean Mariano.
---
His Mutya.
---
His queen.
---
His everything.
---
The Groom's Side
Standing beside him—
Alex.
---
Cole.
---
The two men watching him carefully.
---
Alex smiled.
---
Alex: "You look nervous."
---
Keifer: "I'm not."
---
Cole looked at him.
---
A rare amused expression.
---
Cole: "You are."
---
Keifer ignored both of them.
---
Because for once—
he had no comeback.
---
The Bride's Side
Waiting at the entrance—
Ash.
---
Lyra.
---
Honey.
---
Freya.
---
The four bridesmaids looked emotional.
---
Because they weren't just watching a wedding.
---
They were watching their family grow.
---
Then—
The music began.
---
Everyone turned.
---
The doors opened.
---
And the entire world seemed to stop.
---
Jasper Jean Mariano
The Mutya of Section E.
---
The fearless girl.
---
The chaos queen.
---
The girl who once challenged an entire school.
---
The girl who protected everyone before herself.
---
Was standing there.
---
Beautiful.
---
But she wasn't walking alone.
---
Angelo Fernandez
Her guardian.
---
The man who stood beside her through everything.
---
Walked with her first.
---
On the other side—
Aries Fernandez.
---
Her brother in everything but blood.
---
The one who would fight the world for her.
---
And beside him—
Percy Mariano.
---
Her forever annoying brother.
---
Her biggest supporter.
---
And then—
behind them.
---
Her parents.
---
Jasper Mariano.
---
Reycee Mariano.
---
Her family.
---
Her roots.
---
Her beginning.
---
The people who watched their daughter become someone extraordinary.
---
The aisle felt endless.
---
But JJ didn't feel afraid.
---
Because at the end of it—
was Keifer.
---
And he looked completely lost.
---
Not because he didn't know what to do.
---
But because the woman he loved was walking toward him.
---
Percy
Before leaving her hand—
leaned toward Keifer.
---
Percy: "Take care of her."
---
A pause.
---
His smile disappeared.
---
Percy: "Or I personally prepare your coffin."
---
Keifer raised an eyebrow.
---
Keifer: "You?"
---
Percy: "Don't underestimate me."
---
Aries stepped forward.
---
Much more serious.
---
Aries: "I'm not joking."
---
Silence.
---
Aries: "Make her cry, hurt her, break her trust..."
---
A pause.
---
Aries: "And you won't need enemies."
---
Keifer nodded.
---
Because he understood.
---
JJ was their family.
---
Their heart.
---
Angelo
The final warning.
---
The calmest one.
---
Which somehow made it scarier.
---
Angelo: "I don't threaten people often."
---
He looked at Keifer.
---
Angelo: "Don't make me start."
---
Percy whispered.
---
Percy: "I already ordered a specialized coffin design."
---
Everyone stared.
---
Percy: "What? Preparation."
---
The entire group laughed.
---
Even Keifer.
---
Because this was them.
---
Chaos.
---
Even at a wedding.
---
The Handover
Angelo placed JJ's hand into Keifer's.
---
For a moment—
everyone became quiet.
---
Keifer looked at her.
---
Really looked at her.
---
The girl who changed everything.
---
The girl who made him softer.
---
The girl who stayed.
---
Keifer
Quietly.
---
Keifer: "You came."
---
JJ smiled.
---
JJ: "You waited."
---
And somehow—
that was everything.
---
The Vows
The ceremony began.
---
But nobody was listening to the decorations.
---
Nobody was watching the cameras.
---
Everyone was watching them.
---
Keifer
Held her hands.
---
His voice was steady.
---
But his eyes weren't.
---
Keifer: "I spent most of my life believing I didn't need anyone."
---
A pause.
---
Keifer: "Then you arrived."
---
JJ's eyes softened.
---
Keifer: "You annoyed me."
---
A few people laughed.
---
Keifer: "You challenged me."
---
Keifer: "You changed me."
---
A breath.
---
Keifer: "And somehow, you became the one person I can't imagine my life without."
---
Silence.
---
Keifer: "I promise I'll protect your smile."
---
Keifer: "I'll stand beside you."
---
Keifer: "Every lifetime."
---
JJ
Everyone knew she was going to make a joke.
---
Because she was JJ.
---
But today—
she didn't.
---
She looked at him.
---
The boy.
---
The man.
---
Her home.
---
JJ: "You were the most irritating person I ever met."
---
Keifer smiled slightly.
---
JJ: "You were arrogant."
---
A pause.
---
JJ: "Impossible."
---
Everyone laughed softly.
---
JJ: "But you were also the person who stayed."
---
Her voice became softer.
---
JJ: "When everything was falling apart."
---
JJ: "You stayed."
---
She squeezed his hand.
---
JJ: "So I promise..."
---
JJ: "I'll keep choosing you."
---
JJ: "Even when you're annoying."
---
Keifer smiled.
---
JJ: "Especially then."
---
The Rings
Slipped onto their fingers.
---
Two promises.
---
Two lives.
---
One future.
---
The Officiant
Finally smiled.
---
Officiant: "You may now kiss the bride."
---
The Entire Crowd
Immediately started cheering.
---
Percy screamed the loudest.
---
Of course.
---
Keifer didn't rush.
---
He didn't need to.
---
He gently held JJ's face.
---
Like she was something precious.
---
Like he still couldn't believe she was real.
---
And JJ smiled.
---
Because this was Keifer.
---
Her Keifer.
---
Then—
they kissed.
---
Not for the cameras.
---
Not for the guests.
---
But for every year they fought to reach this moment.
---
A promise.
---
A beginning.
---
A forever.
---
The crowd erupted.
---
Ash cried.
---
Lyra hugged Honey.
---
Freya wiped her tears.
---
Alex smiled.
---
Cole looked away quietly.
---
But for a second—
just a second—
he looked peaceful.
---
Because someone else had found the happiness Care always wanted for them.
---
And Jasper Jean Mariano—
The Mutya of Section E—
finally walked into her own happily ever after.
---
Watson Mansion Ballroom
Night
The wedding ceremony was over.
---
The vows were done.
---
The rings were exchanged.
---
And somehow—
Jasper Jean Mariano and Keifer Watson were officially married.
---
But everyone knew one thing.
---
The real chaos was just beginning.
---
Because a Section E wedding reception?
---
Was never going to be normal.
---
The Ballroom
The entire place looked like something from a dream.
---
Crystal lights.
---
Hundreds of flowers.
---
Elegant decorations.
---
A live orchestra.
---
Everything perfect.
---
And somehow—
Percy still managed to create problems.
---
Honey: "How did you already break something?"
---
Percy: "I didn't break it."
---
A pause.
---
Percy: "It just fell dramatically."
---
Everyone stared.
---
Percy: "Same thing."
---
The Newlyweds
Everyone's attention kept returning to them.
---
Because Keifer Watson—
the man known for being terrifyingly calm—
was completely different tonight.
---
He couldn't stop looking at JJ.
---
Not because he was worried.
---
Because he still couldn't believe she was actually his wife.
---
JJ
Noticed.
---
Of course she noticed.
---
She was JJ.
---
JJ: "Why are you staring?"
---
Keifer didn't even pretend.
---
Keifer: "Because I can."
---
JJ rolled her eyes.
---
But the small smile gave her away.
---
The First Dance
Everyone gathered around.
---
Ash immediately started crying.
---
Ash: "They actually did it."
---
Yuri smiled beside her.
---
Yuri: "Yes."
---
Ash: "After everything."
---
A quiet pause.
---
Yuri: "After everything."
---
The music started.
---
Keifer placed a hand around JJ carefully.
---
JJ looked up at him.
---
JJ: "You know everyone is watching, right?"
---
Keifer: "Let them."
---
JJ: "You're impossible."
---
Keifer: "You married me anyway."
---
And that made her laugh.
---
A real laugh.
---
The kind everyone had missed hearing after everything they survived.
---
Meanwhile
The others were enjoying the chaos.
---
Alex and Lyra were arguing over the food.
---
Freya was forcing everyone to dance.
---
Rhys was quietly smiling for the first time in a long time.
---
Cole sat away from the crowd.
---
Watching.
---
Quietly.
---
But not broken.
---
Not tonight.
---
Because tonight belonged to them.
---
Later
After hours of celebrations—
JJ finally escaped the crowd.
---
Almost.
---
Because someone followed her.
---
Obviously.
---
She turned.
---
Keifer.
---
Still wearing that calm expression.
---
That dangerous Watson expression.
---
JJ immediately became suspicious.
---
JJ: "What?"
---
Keifer: "Nothing."
---
JJ: "That means something."
---
He smiled slightly.
---
Keifer: "You're my wife now."
---
JJ froze for a second.
---
Even after hearing it all day—
it still felt unreal.
---
JJ: "Don't say it like that."
---
Keifer: "Why?"
---
JJ: "Because..."
---
She looked away.
---
And Keifer noticed.
---
The great Jasper Jean Mariano—
the fearless Mutya of Section E—
was actually embarrassed.
---
And he loved it.
---
Keifer: "You're blushing."
---
JJ: "I'm not."
---
Keifer: "You are."
---
JJ: "Mark Keifer Watson."
---
He leaned closer with a teasing smile.
---
Keifer: "Relax, Mrs Watson."
---
A pause.
---
Keifer: "The night is still very long."
---
JJ immediately looked away.
---
The same girl who had faced enemies, wars, and impossible situations—
was defeated by one sentence.
---
JJ: "You are so annoying."
---
Keifer: "Yet you married me."
---
She tried not to smile.
---
Failed.
---
Completely.
---
From across the room—
Percy noticed.
---
Percy: "Did Keifer finally make JJ speechless?"
---
Honey looked.
---
Honey: "Impossible."
---
Ash laughed.
---
Ash: "No."
---
A pause.
---
Ash: "He just found her weakness."
---
Everyone looked at JJ and Keifer.
---
The two people who had fought through everything.
---
Finally getting their peaceful moment.
---
And for once—
nobody wanted to disturb it.
---
Because after all the battles...
---
After all the heartbreak...
---
They deserved one night of happiness.
