Danger Zone

Chapter 130 - His Gift

It has been five days since Daime goes missing. His birthday has already passed but Aiden can't still accept that he is gone and no one can find him. 

At first, he thought that it is all just a dream. That Daime will be hugging him from behind and Aiden will wake up from his deep slumber smelling like fresh puff pastries from France. 

That Daime will be there whispering sweet nothings to his ear and kissing his neck, marking his territory so Primo will be jealous of him. 

A normal routine that Daime does, making Aiden fall for him even more. But that is just a mere dream that Aiden hopes to happen. 

Now, it slowly sinks in that Daime is indeed gone and probably will not come back home anymore. Aiden is sitting at a stone bench in the middle of the botanical garden that Daime made for him as a gift on his birthday. 

The scent of the garden has the same scent from the medieval restaurant. Aiden sighs as he roams his eyes around the botanical garden. 

Tall green pillars that supports the roof of the glass ceiling roof of the garden. Vine trees loop around these pillars, creating a wonderful display at all four corners of the garden.

Flower beds surround the sides of the pillars, making a beautiful and fresh-looking gallery of fresh flowers including irises, lilies, red roses, red tulips, pink chrysanthemums, and orange peonies. 

And at the very end of the botanical garden is a molded statue of Aiden. Aiden's reaction upon seeing the statue is funny. He can't believe that Daime actually made a statue out of him. 

It is like Daime is worshiping him because of it. The botanical garden is all guarded by metal fences that are painted in dark green that gives the flowers their shine because of their colors.

Aiden sighs as his tears start to fall down his cheeks. If only Daime is the one who showed him his hard work, it will be better. 

"I bet he will like my reaction. I would have ask someone to film it but you are not here, my Prince. Why did you have to go away? It has been five days."

Aiden crouches down to the ground as he sobs loudly. This isn't the first time that he cried his heart out, calling Daime's name. 

It has been five days and he has been crying for five days. Nightmares are already getting to him, making him unable to sleep and constantly screams at night. 

Primo has been putting up with it but there is nothing he can do but watch Aiden suffers as his cousins look for Daime's whereabouts. 

"I thought you despise seeing Aiden cry, you motherfucker? Look what you are doing now."

Primo exhales sharply as he shakes his head and goes back to finding Daime in every parts of Switzerland. He tries searching for every name that Daime has, from his first name to his childhood nicknames, still there is no result showing in the map.

A pat on his shoulder makes he look behind him, only to find Drax with a sad smile. The older sits beside him and moves the laptop away. 

"Did you sleep already?"

Primo can only shake his head as he tries to get the laptop from the older. But the lack of sleep is making his body weak. Drax releases a deep sigh and shuts the laptop down as he looks at the crying petite man inside of the botanical garden. 

"How is Aiden?"

Primo scoffs as he looks from the table to Aiden's direction, watching him cries his heart out staring at the statue that Daime made using his skills in sculpting, days before the wedding and the sudden revelation has occurred. 

"Sleepless nights, re-occurring nightmares, crying sessions and a lot of regrets of not paying attention to Daime's feelings. It has been five days and there is still no progress in Aiden's condition except those."

Drax sighs as he suggests to bring Aiden to therapy, in which Primo just laughs about because he indeed brought him to therapy.

"We have five psychologists in this mansion. What do you think they are doing?"

"Touche."

Primo huffs as he stares at the cloudy sky, waiting for the sun to show up. Maybe its rays will give them the hope of finding Daime before Aiden will completely go crazy looking for him. 

"Did you guys found anything?"

Drax looks at Primo who is hoping at any information from the tech team. He drops his head down and shakes his head, making Primo pissed more than anything.

"That stupid kid! Why would he even run away?! It's not like he is being abused here or something!"

Drax tries to calm him down before he says something that he isn't supposed to say. Primo takes a deep breath and leans back to his chair. He needs to calm down or Aiden will cry even more.

"It has been five days, Drax. Where the fuck can he go?"

Drax only shakes his head when one of their cousins tap him by both of their shoulder. They both look at the man who has an unsure expression plastered on his face. 

He looks like he has found any information about Daime's whereabouts but he doesn't know how to tell them.

"What's wrong, Aaron? Do you have something?"

The man named Aaron takes a deep breath before speaking to them. He can't mess this up or he will be at the mercy of two powerful Santoros. 

"I found his last signal before going off the grid."

Primo stands up from his seat while Drax's eyes widen in surprise. Their reaction makes Aaron more nervous than anything. The latter clears his throat before speaking again or else he will be stuttering from the pressure.

"Where is he?"

A simple question requires a simple answer. But the pressure from Primo is making Aaron sweats profusely and Drax senses it. He holds Primo down and makes him seat beside him.

Primo almost holds his throat when Drax stares him strongly in the eyes.

"You are scaring him. Calm the fuck down."

This time, Primo looks at Aaron who is looking down to the ground, attempting to calm himself down before he convulses in nervous. 

Primo calms down in his seat and wait for the latter to answer them. It is a fact that they need to find Daime as soon as possible but forcing the information out of the latter will be a big trouble.

Aaron clears his throat for the second time before answering the two Santoros who have been waiting for this information for such a long time.

"Daime is in…"
