Danger Zone

Looking at Aiden right now gives back memories in Grandmama's past. The memories that she longed buried after her husband died of heart attack. 

She is smiling but she is feeling something else. Is it change? Does she want to change for Aiden now that she finds out who he really is? 

Is this the reason for this feeling? No. 

This is nothing like that. She doesn't feel anything new except for this one. She feels pain in her chest but it is not something that is similar to angina. 

It is something far than that. This feeling is still new and she can't put up a word for it. Is it emptiness? Is it loneliness? Is it jealous? What is this pain?

She can't understand. Maybe because she had never felt this sort of pain before or it has been years since she suppresses such emotion. 

Yes. This could be it. 

But there is still no proper reason to feel this way. She takes a deep breath and tries to look at the two males standing on stage and having the time of their life. 

She looks at Aiden and tears start to form in her eyes. Maybe because of happiness. Maybe they are from desperation to be the most popular and richest family in Switzerland.

But no, there is something else. And she is sure that it is not because of emptiness. She is just hallucinating. 

Daime and Primo are standing near the entrance when Drax enters the venue. He has a wide smile on his face upon seeing Crystal. 

"I saw Crystal and his husband in one of the tents. They even have a kid with them."

Daime looks at his cousin, unsurprised. Making Drax thinks that Daime probably already know about his sister's existence and her new family. 

"A Matautia, huh? No wonder she did not inform any of us when Grandmama asked her before."

Drax sits down near Daime while the other two are still standing, looking far ahead where Aiden and his father are smiling to the guests. 

The women who are gossiping about Grandmama's obsession of the hidden gem are now quiet and reflecting on themselves.

"You know, sometimes, it is better to just shut the fuck up instead of spreading lies within lies of non-existing information. Embarrassing myself was never in my bucket list."

Primo almost smacks Drax because of what he said but stops himself before he majorly kills his older cousin for the mockery. 

The women, who embarrassed themselves, try to hide on the other side of the table upon hearing what Daime has said. 

Looking down to the ground as they contemplate of their actions so this won't happen again. 

Drax looks at them and smirks. He even snickers beside Daime and the latter almost smacked him as well, for being so childish.

"Care to stop mocking people? It's embarrassing plus you are no longer a child, Drax."

Drax look at him with a funny expression as he clears his throat but eventually bursts out laughing. He wipes his tears away as he fans himself and takes a deep breath.

"What? It's funny. Plus, who cares if you are no longer a child but still doing childish ways? No one."

Daime rolls his eyes while Primo only shakes his head. Drax can only sigh and looks up for Grandmama to see her reaction. 

He is shocked by what he sees.

"Wait… What the fuck?"

Daime hears what he said and looks at Drax. But since Drax is looking far out, Daime follows the direction he is looking at and sees Grandmama, wiping down her tears.

"Why is she crying?"

Primo hears this and directly look at Grandmama. In all his years with the Santoro house, he has never seen Grandmama cry before. 

He even asks her if she knows such an emotion before but Grandmama only laughs. Managing to answer him about the said emotion something along the lines of "Why would I cry?"

Primo sighs and goes back to focusing what is happening up front. Tonight is supposed to his cousin's wedding celebration but now, it is the Matautia's event. 

Oh, how the tables are turned.

Cameras keep on flashing and anchors reporting in front, trying to get a glance at how handsome Aiden is. 

Handsome? That's not even a word that will describe Aiden. Heck, no.

The word is supposed to be "beautiful". Yes, Aiden is indeed a beauty to die for. Primo even looks around to the different families that are talking. 

Probably of what they want to do knowing that the hidden gem is real. Knowing that he can also be one of the richest bachelors in Switzerland. 

This information makes Primo thinks about the past when Master Evon said to the public that the hidden gem of their family will be going to have everything that their family owned. 

Even Jasmine has this testimony, choosing to be one of Aiden's watch dogs instead of marrying and getting her share from the family. 

Primo sighs and smiles at Aiden who gives him a little wave from the stage where he is surrounded of many paparazzi and reporters trying to make him talk about his hiding and why did he reveal his identity in public at this late. 

"I want it to be a surprise, that's all."

Flashes of cameras even surround him more until everything seems to get out of hand. Daime, Drax and Primo go to the stage to protect Aiden and Master Evon. 

But Drax thought that Daime will help him with Master Evon, when he turns to his side, Daime and Primo are all standing in front of Aiden, blocking him with the amount of paparazzi ready to mound him.

"Oh for the love of every God in the Universe, just fucking admits that you two are both dating Aiden!"

Silence. 

The whole wedding venue goes silent. Drax covers his mouth with his hand and looks at Master Evon. The old man only pats his shoulder because he already said something he should never said. 

There is nothing they can do at this point but to confirm. Master Evon walks to one of the paparazzi and confirms the relationship between two Santoros and a Matautia.

"Yes, it is true. They are indeed dating."
