Danger Zone

"That ends well that expected."

Master Evon sighs as he and the man dressed in black leave the building. The man looks around him before removing his disguise and shakes off the feeling of being a Santoro.

"Why not hire a Santoro to do this job, Uncle?"

Mast Evon looks at the man who is questioning him for something like this. He sighs once again as he faces the man. 

"Millard, why would I hire a Santoro when I know that you can do the job?"

Millard, the man dressed in black, chuckles as he shakes his head. If only he knew what his uncle is planning, he would've never said yes to him in the very first place. 

"When I first read the script that you gave me, I never thought that I will be the one you will choose between me and my adopted brother. You are a smart old man."

Master Evon scoffs as he places his hand on the latter's shoulder and whispers to his ears. 

"Your cousin's plane already landed here in Switzerland. You might want to alert everyone about their arrival."

Millard widens his eyes and runs away from Master Evon. He pulls out his cellphone and calls the other members of the Matautia group. 

"Young master has arrived."

It's a message that they had been waiting for. A message of freedom from the hands of the Santoro. 

Finally, their salvation is here.

Aiden smiles as the van crosses pass the high buildings of Switzerland. The flags that surround every restaurant and every store, remind him of the past when he is still a little tot.

Tiny Aiden walking down the streets of Switzerland, hand in hand with his parents while his sister is walking behind him. 

The van turns left and it made Aiden smile. The nostalgic feeling of seeing the very country that raised him is something he would be thankful forever. 

The memories of the red, green and white color of his favorite café is still standing in the far right corner of the yellow building where he met the man who asked him for a dance before.

The tiny store of Starbucks where he first saw his father flirting with another woman other than his mom. That serene memory had caused the fall down of their fantasy-like family; where everyone is happy and none of them are sad.

The van turns right onto a corner and Aiden sees a lot of people walking around the streets of Zurich with their bags filled with clothes and other accessories. 

Old people are talking in front of their favorite cafés while the youngsters are playing in the playground with their caretakers. 

Another street passes and it reminds Aiden of the night when his parents got divorced and his father married his mistress that turns out to be a horrifying creature of the gold digger business.

Beers, champagnes, martinis, and whiskeys are being served to the teenagers and some young adults. The flag of Switzerland rising up high in the sky alongside the famous flag of the famous beer in town.

They pass through Zurich and enter the magnificent view of Geneva. The high towers and magnanimous structures of the shopping district of Geneva give off the feeling of luxury and lavishness. 

The lights and the lamppost that show the comfortness of the streets while the modern tram that is running around the streets gives the people a chance to see the beauty of Carouge.

Aiden waves his hand to one old couple and they wave back. A smile plastered on his face as Daime pulls him away from the window and shakes his head.

"Careful, baby. You don't want to fall."

Aiden blushes at his statement and the name that he calls him as he nods at Daime. He continues to sight-seeing everything that he misses at the country while Grandmama is observing him at all.

Passes down the streets and the shopping districts, the cafes and the restaurants, the beer houses and the night clubs, the playgrounds and the parks, the luxury and the busy streets of Switzerland comes the peacefulness and security of the Santoro mansion.

The high security guarded gateway to the mansion is filled with cameras and passcodes that only the Santoros know. 

Black and gold are the colors that decorate the gates and the golden plated number of the house and the surname is attracting the attention of the public. 

Inside is a twenty thousand square foot gateway before the car can even reach the mansion. 

Aiden can also see another gate before the mansion proper that made him think of how secure the family is.

Watchdogs and butlers are all over the place and seemingly not giving Aiden a chance to escape their clutches.

Aiden looks to the side and sees roses of different colors complementing each other in a way that no other flowers can. 

He pulls out his phone and takes a picture of the beautiful garden. It could also be his last time to see them before being locked up inside the mansion and treated like a slave.

A few moments of traveling passes and Aiden can finally see the humongous view of the mansion. Bricked walls and the bricked-like roof, complementing the bluish colored railings and the beautiful green grass. 

Two separate gardens at both sides and a lounging area on the side of the mansion. The van stops in the middle near the green grassy field of the lot as the gardener bows his head and welcomes them.

Aiden looks at the gardener with familiarity in him as his eyes widen in surprise. The gardener slightly shakes his head, making sure that none of the Santoros see him doing it. 

Grandmama tells them to follow her as they walk around the field before reaching the front door of the mansion. She looks at Aiden with one of her eyebrows raise up to the sky and smirks at him.

"Megan, darling."

She addresses the woman that they met in Hong Kong after Silica left and died in the hands of her grandsons. She shakes her thought out of the importance of the woman out of her mind. 

"Welcome to the Santoro mansion."

Primo shakes his head while Aiden only gives the old lady a smile. It isn't a forced smile and it isn't a genuine one as well. 

Aiden's smile is somewhat closer to a sinister smile that made Grandmama feels shivers up to her spine.

There is something about Aiden that she can't shake it off. She knows that Aiden is hiding something important that could bring them down to ashes and she wants to know what it is.

Grandmama opens the door of the mansion and Megan's lips turns into a smile of glory. In her mind, she needs to do everything in her power to make Primo realizes who she is and what is her importance. 

Beating Aiden is the most rewarding for her. But she can feel that she needs to do whatever it takes to beat the young man, especially when Aiden is all calm and confident. 

Both Megan and Grandmama want to remove that confidence over Aiden. Thus, planning ahead of time is a must. 

"Let me show you pain, little boy."
