Kiefer's POV
We reached New York.
I am not that excited to attend that event, but I am more excited to meet Jay. I want to explain everything I did to her. I broke her only to save her from my monster dad.
Angelo: Come on. First, we will attend the event. Get ready. We will depart in one hour.
We stayed in a hotel because the city was a little far, so first we had to get ready for the event.
Aries: What should I wear?
Yuri: We have to wear a black coat, white shirt, and black pants.
Aries: How do you know? hhh
Yuri: That's the dress code. I read it on the invitation.
Kiefer: He's right. That's the dress code.
Aries: By the way, guys, what do you think? Will the four pillars reveal their identity? I mean, they have hidden it for almost five years.
I also got information that all of them are almost our age or even younger.
That's strange — ruling such a big business empire at such a young age.
And the first pillar, whoever this person is, is something else. He also rules a separate big company named EVON.
The information says they are kind of gangsters.
Kiefer: Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.
I searched about them too, but there is nothing about them on the internet.
Yuri: If they said they would reveal it, then they will. Otherwise, they wouldn't have announced it.
Kiefer: Let's see. First, we should get ready, or Angelo will get angry.
We got ready, and our cars were waiting outside.
Our bodyguards were coming with us to the event because, obviously, we are handsome and rich — girls would probably jump on us.
But I am Jay's.
If she finds out I even bumped into another girl, she would probably kill me before forgiving me.
So bodyguards are better.
We decided to go separately because we didn't want to show that we came to New York together.
As soon as we reached the event, people were gossiping everywhere.
"See, the CEOs are here…" "So handsome…" "They're hot…"
Some girls even tried to bump into us, but our bodyguards stopped them.
We went inside.
Still gossiping.
"You know, the four pillars are coming…" "Obviously, the first award is theirs…" "They will also reveal their faces…" "Yeah, let's see how handsome these four boys are…"
The event started, and awards began to be distributed.
The 5th award was won by Angelo, of course.
The 4th award by Aries.
The 3rd award by Yuri.
And the 2nd award by me, of course.
Host: So, guys, the moment we all have been waiting for — the first award goes to the Four Pillars and Mariono Enterprises.
Please give them a round of applause.
As soon as he said these words, the spotlight shifted to four people wearing masks.
All four went to the stage, and the host congratulated them.
One of them spoke into the mic.
It was a man's voice.
I was sure all of them were men.
They were all wearing black coats — maybe to hide their outfits.
1st Pillar: Thank you for this amazing award. But we are going to accept it after revealing our faces, because some people are eagerly waiting for it.
His head was pointing toward a lady.
They started revealing themselves.
The first mask opened.
There was a really handsome man.
He: Hi guys, I am the 4th pillar. My name is Jasfer Dane Mariono.
The second mask was revealed.
We were shocked. All our eyes were stuck on him.
It was Percy.
Percy: Hi guys, I am the 3rd pillar — Percy Mariono.
Handsome enough to catch your eyes.
The entire female audience screamed at the top of their lungs.
The third mask was revealed.
There was a girl.
She also revealed her outfit — a beautiful black dress.
(Check in comments)
She: Hi everyone, I am Jasmine Mariono, and I am the 2nd pillar of Mariono.
It was strange…
Her face looked similar to Jay.
Now it was time for the person everyone was waiting for — the 1st pillar.
Aries: It's probably another boy, guys. He also rules a separate big company.
But I swear, once this event is over, I'm directly heading toward Percy to get my kokey back.
Yuri: Focus. The first pillar is revealing now.
As soon as the mask was removed, all of us went silent — like we had seen a ghost.
That was my Jay.
So she is the first pillar.
She looked gorgeous.
She wore the same outfit as the girl before her, and she looked stunning in that dress.
(In comments)
She: Hello everyone. I am the 1st pillar of Mariono, Jasper Jean Mariono.
Everyone shouted.
All the males present there remained statues.
Aries: That's Jay! My kokey is a CEO?
And since when did she become so beautiful?
She was always beautiful, I said to myself.
Yuri: This is insane. She is the first pillar.
All four of them started speaking into the mic, one by one.
P: I know you guys are shocked after seeing our beauty, but please stay silent.
D: Yeah, please. We will meet every single gorgeous lady here.
J: Shut up. I think someone is burning from jealousy here.
She was again pointing toward the same lady, who was staring at them like she would eat them alive.
Jay was giving her a death stare.
Suddenly, she spoke:
Jay: Thank you for this amazing award, and thank you to everyone here.
We will take our leave now.
She was confident…
Not like my Jay from before.
