"Why do I feel like I have been in this place before?"

Grandmama asks Aiden to visit her favorite wedding hall for another wedding that will happen this Saturday. It is an easy task even if Daime asks Grandmama to join Aiden, in which the old lady surprisingly agreed on.

But when they got there, seeing how big the wedding hall is, Aiden slumps back to a chair as he reminisces something about the hall.

Daime looks at Aiden as the latter wonders why the place looks extremely familiar.

White walls that colored the tall pillars of the building, spiraling deigns that dated from the ancient times, the stone bricked stairs of the walkway, flowers and the metallic colored railings; Aiden is having major flashbacks of the place.

"Are you sure that you have been here before?"

Daime looks at Aiden with a confused face.

"I've been here when Primo's brother got married. Although that was a long time ago."

Aiden looks at Daime with confusion as the taller man sits down to one of the staircases of the building.

"The wedding is all over the news, to be honest. Since Alex's surname is not a native surname in Switzerland, as the reports say. But who cares? Weddings are supposed to be a private thing between couples, friends and their families."

Daime sighs heavily as he stares at the vast space between them. Daime's car is parked near the bank, which is in front of the wedding hall.

"What is the name of Primo's brother and the bride?"

Daime smiles sadly at Aiden. He just finds out about Primo's brother's name after Drax had told him about it back in the Philippines.

"Alexander. Primo's brother's name is Alexander Luvisnovinchi…"

"Aiden, no. It is supposed to be a bit tacky and comfortable! Stop moving around! You are making this difficult!"

Aiden's mother yells as the tailor tries to get the boy's measurement while Aiden complains why his clothes should be a slim fit instead of a big size that would make him look like a small person.

He kept moving around so the tailor is forced to just go with the measurements that he gets instead of the proper measurement being requested. Cassie watches the scene after she got measured.

She waits until Aiden stops moving and the tailor could focus on his work while Aiden becomes more vocal about his complaints.

"I will not wear that tacky suit if it is not slim fit, mother! You cannot make me!"

His mother furiously pulls him away from the tailor and pushes him towards the fitting room exclusively for men. Aiden faces her red-faced mother with a smug on his face.

This is not the first time he became bratty towards her. She should've got used to it but no, this time, his attitude is much worse than the first time he had this kind of tantrums.

"Aiden! Stop being a baby! You are not a child anymore! Stop this tantrum! Your making everyone uncomfortable"

Aiden looks at his mother with a pained expression. He looks like he is about to throw hands at his mother. He tries to calm himself down while his mother went back to the tailor.

Aiden hates talking to his mother when it comes to his clothes. The engagement party is days away but she is so frantic to get everything done days before the party.

It will be a miracle to get everything done since her request is too much for the tailor to do. He went back to the tailor's office, while his mother stomps her foot on the wooden floor.

"Can you stop? Whatever you're doing is irritating."

His mother looks at him with her eyes wide open. She had never seen Aiden with this type of attitude before. She never knew he had it in him since he only knows fun and games.

"Don't talk to me like that, young man! I am your mother! Please be more respectful!"

Aiden looks at her with a confused face. Cassie observes the two as Aiden scoffs before telling the tailor what he wants and make sure he follows what he wants only.

His mother looks at him with a mad expression while Aiden turns his back away from her. His mother is about to call Aiden's father when Aiden looks at her with a challenging voice.

"Calling your ex-husband. Go ahead. I am not scared. What is he going to do anyway?"

Cassie's eyes widen as well as the tailor's. Aiden's mother looks at him with a shocked expression before putting the phone away.

She doesn't know why or how Aiden knows about her ex-husband but she doesn't have time to know about this as well.

She turns her head away from him and went out of the office and into the lobby. The tailor looks at Aiden with a sad smile and measures his size again.

"She is not my mother, in every article about our family. She will never be my mother. She marries my father after killing my biological mother when she finds out that my father has money.

She even cheated on him, thinking that my father would not find out, which he did after years and years of hiding it. She came out of the scandal when her ex-husband impregnated a Santoro.

Her poor little heart got broken and my father still accepts her. Now, she is living in luxury and pretends that she is rich and her life is indeed glorious when she is just a mere gold digger."

The tailor listens to every word that Aiden is saying. Cassie does too but hers is more of observation when she notices that Aiden's mother favors his sister more than her.

After the fitting, they all went to the lobby where Aiden catches his "mother" talking to a younger man in a red suit. His hair is laid back and his face is perfectly structured.

[10/10 recommend! Wait- no.]

His eyes were blue and his jawline is striking. He is the epitome of all things masculine, handsome, and rich bachelors. Aiden scoffs, drawing his mother's attention away from the guy.

When his mother sees him, she removes her arms on the man's biceps and walks back from him, stumbling on one of the chairs while Aiden looks at the man carefully.

"You must be Aiden."

Aiden lifts one of his brows and folds his arms to his chest. The man chuckles and walks towards Aiden as he cups his chin lifting it to observe his face more clearly.

The man draws towards Aiden's ear and breathes out, sending shivers up to Aiden's spine. Aiden tries not to flinch at the man and tries his best to stand firm under his predatory eyes.

Aiden, in his twenties, tries to fight back and jump on the guy at that very moment. He did try but the watchdog behind him knows that he can't and wouldn't.

The guy leans back and removes his hand from Aiden's chin and walks backward. With a smirk on his face, he said the words that Aiden would consider as sexy if he wasn't a Santoro.

"I will see you on Saturday, darling. I hope you will give me a chance to dance you at the ballroom."

Poisonous.

Everything about him is poisonous. Aiden is loving it yet he feels like he is about to puke when the guy passes by him.

His perfume is too strong, making Aiden dizzy. Cassie catches Aiden before he could fall down to the floor and waltz their way out of the tailoring service.
