Danger Zone

The old steamy and sensational scent of the house starts to convert into a more sinister and menacing scent. It is something that no one would want to smell or sniff out in the air.

The tension is heavy and Grandmama is not happy to see Aiden at all. She stares at him with a mean look that speaks out that his existence is not welcome in this house.

But Aiden is unyieldingly stands in a podium above Grandmama or as the elder imagines. It is a podium that speaks who is the most powerful between the two of them.

Grandmama feels Aiden as threat like any other. She never felt like this before. It is a new sensation to her which affects her actions and expressions towards Aiden.

She grips the handle of her bag and looks at Aiden with firm eyes. 

"Who is he?"                                   

Primo looks at Grandmama with a dead pan expression. He doesn't know what game that Grandmama plays but him and Daime will not be cooperating to that.

Primo and Daime stay silence even after the same question is being asked numerous times. They don't know if they should answer or not. 

Aiden smiles at Grandmama and grips Primo's arm. Primo startles at how rigid Aiden's grip on his arm. He can feels Aiden's nails dig into his muscle and bleed out of his sleeve.

"Never mind. His existence is not important anyway."

It is a solid statement. Telling or even reminding Aiden that he is not part of the family and will never be part of their family. 

Primo grunts at this and almost slams his hands on the table. Daime gives Grandmama a dirty look before looking at Drax, who is snickering a laugh at a corner.

Aiden is not flinching or scared at how dangerous Grandmama sounds as she spouts those words. He had heard many older women speak that way before, when he is still a kid.

He just gets used to them. Even his parents' talk like that to people they don't like. Aiden even get an attitude or two from those people as well. 

Maybe using them against Grandmama will shut the elder up. But that would be in a different fight, where Aiden would be stronger and no one could and would bring him down.

Drax puts down the cold water that he had been waiting since they arrived at the house. Primo is just sitting there not moving while his other cousins were fidgeting in their seat.

No one is talking. No one can give out topics to talk to. 

Until, the woman that Grandmama brought back from Hong Kong, directly asking Primo to marry her once they went back to Switzerland. Primo chuckles at how direct the woman is.

The old lady met her before she boarded the plane to the Philippines. Greeting her with grace and overbearing confidence.

But Primo is not easy to yield. Just like a dangerous machine gun. When it is given to a rookie fighter, it will be the most dangerous weapon. 

But when it is handled by a professional fighter, it will be the most powerful weapon to commit genocide.

Megan, the lady who just asked for Primo for marriage, is the rookie fighter; young, beautiful, sexy, and rich. 

The typical woman that Grandmama wants any of her grandchild to marry. Someone with a good background and a wealthy family. 

But handling a machine gun like Primo is not an easy task. She needs to be trained and be firm to every words she will about to say. 

Because one wrong move towards Primo, her head will be served in a rusty old tray filled with worms, flies, and cockroaches. Something that Primo or any of the Santoro boys would not touch or look at.

"What makes you think that I will go back to Switzerland with you? I don't even know who the fuck you are."

It's a harsh reality for Megan. But she knows that Primo is a big catch. 

She would not find any other man like Primo. This is her time to shine and shows to Grandmama that she is worthy of one of the houses she offers when a Santoro boy marries someone outside their territory.

She did her research and she knows that she is the type of woman that Primo would want as a wife. 

Seductive, sexy, and sophisticated. 

Someone that can make the guy head over heels to his wife. Megan thinks that she is the perfect example of that woman. 

She stands up from her chair and walks toward Primo. Putting her arm over his shoulders and presses her chest on his chest.

"Stop being hard to get, darling. I know you want me."

Primo snorts before looking at her. 

Almost clapping his hands to the attempt of seduction in front of the person who teaches him how to properly love someone, how to care of their existence, and how to respect their decision.

Primo scoffs and removes Megan's arms on his shoulder and pushes her lightly away from his chest. Her boobs make Primo suffocates beyond his belief. 

"Want? Over my dead body. Need? Hell no. Get off."

His voice leaves no room for any other discussion. Megan immediately walks back, almost stumbling at the sudden reaction from Primo. 

When she met the man, he is all lust and sex. She offers her love to him at that time, but he only says that he would just think about it. 

But after that, she had never seen him again. It breaks her heart but she knows that there would be a time that they will meet again and get married in a place where she would call home.

Until, now.

Now, everything has changed. Primo is not the same person that she met. Even Grandmama is thinking twice whether this man is the same Primo she knows. 

She looks at Aiden who is looking at Primo lovingly. He is holding Daime's hand and pressing his back onto his chest.

Grandmama tries to think what this could mean. Is he cheating on Primo secretly with his own cousin or it's the opposite thing? 

He whispers to Drax, who is sitting behind Bran, enjoying the show while everyone is curious what the heck is happening.

"Who is his real boyfriend?"

Aiden looks at Grandmama's direction when he heard the question. He chuckles lowly and clears his throat, letting his presence to be known.

It is a gesture that most rich people do when they are about to speak of a certain topic.

"They are both my boyfriends if that is what you are curious about, Madame."

Grandmama widens her eyes and almost chokes in her own saliva. She never expects such a relationship to exist. 

She doesn't even know if it is healthy or not. Aiden's presence makes her want to see how the younger would handle Primo in his wild moments. 

Those moments that even Grandmama or Primo's dead brother can't control. No one can do that, to be honest. She wants to see that. 

Those moments that would make Aiden lose his mind and would cry because of Primo. It could eventually destroy their relationship and would make Primo single and available to other women.

She really wants to see that.

Thus, with this decision in her mind, she will try to convince Primo to come back to Switzerland if it meant to bring Aiden with them.

She is also planning to investigate Aiden's life. She wants to know what lies beyond that cute and pretty face that Aiden have.

After the argument between Primo and Megan, Grandmama claps her hand and stands up from her chair. 

"Silence!"

Everyone shuts their mouth and waits for Grandmama's next statement before settling down to the next plan that is non-existent.

"Since you are being a hard-headed kid, I have a deal for you. Something that you and I would have a benefit to. A deal that would make you say yes in an instant."

Primo waits for the deal but when it came; he smirks and immediately nods at Grandmama. Aiden looks at Grandmama and smiles. 

"I will make you regret that decision, Madame."
