เข้าสู่ระบบAfter few minutes that they arrived at the airport, they got on a private jet, Aiden got bored since they all were busy with some things, so he did FaceTime with Justin
"What?, you mean you're on you're on your way to Japan?... unbelievable, huh?" "Yh... "he sighed unexcited "hey, what's wrong?" "Nothing, just worried about mom?" "Nothing to worry about I will take care if her for you okay just be good okay?" " Hmmm" he nodded with a smile "but really dude, I envy you" "Hmm, it's not that I'm not happy, I have been on this seat for an hour and trust me it's a 12-hour journey from there to Japan " "blah, I don't mind you know that?" "No one has spoken to me, not even him, and I'm bored " " I understand you, but you have to hold in till you guys are on ground and you really must be at your best behavior" Justine smiled " whatever... I will try my best" Aiden sighed " I gotta go... talk to you later" Aiden dropped the call and adjusted himself, he laid still till he fell asleep They got to Japan but it was night already, Aiden was mesmerized by the beauty of the Mansion they entered. They were welcomed by a man who seem more like a Butler " welcome sirs... madam has been waiting" he bowed "madam ?" Aiden Said " where is she? " Damien asked coldly "In her study Sir... she Asked you three to meet up with her as soon as you are back " Sean Said " Kate! lead him to his room" he pointed at Aiden It's been two hours Aiden left for his new room, he slept like a log since he had jet lag he couldn't help but sleep mean while, the three brothers have been in conversation with Their grandmother since they were welcomed home "Grandma, how have you been?" Charlie Asked "I have been doing great son, and how are your studies?" "ma, it has been stressful... "he pouted "I understand child, 4th year is stressful and hope you are not using influence in the school right?" " ma, trust me... I kept low profile but not until today that your twins came to pick me at the school" he sulked " sorry dear it's not their fault..., Damien I heard you brought someone new, your new boy or what" she smiled looking interested " nah just a boy that's all" he replied sharply " okay, Charles how are your business going also?" " Great ma, I might not be able to stay here that Long" " suit yourselves, I'm leaving also" Madam Smith smiled " to where?" " for meeting too, Damien " After a hour of discussion within the family the next day they had talk on breakfast,then Damien noticed Aiden wasn't down for breakfast, so he Asked "what about Aiden?" "sir, I went to his room to call him down for breakfast, but he said he was lazy to have breakfast with you" a maid replied with a bow Damien stood up and went straight to Aiden's room to get him, when he got there he met him on his bed busy with his phone "why weren't you downstairs for breakfast"?" " I'm not hungry..." he sulked "what's going on in that head of yours huh?" "Not just feeling welcome here that's all" he sneered " Hmmm I understand you but don't worry you will like it here, besides I know I breeched the deal but it won't happen again I promise...now let go have breakfast" Aiden nodded even though he had no choice than to oblige. they both got to the table Aiden was really nervous at first but he bowed to everyone especially madam Smith "Have your sit dear " she offered "yes ma'am" he bowed They all began to have their meal when Charlie spoke up "Bro... weren't you going to introduce him to us?' he smiled " stop being mischievous, it's left to him to do that" Charles answered " ma...meet Aiden, Aiden meet my grandma" Damien said after a sigh " nice meeting you ma" " same here dear, how I wish I could spend more time with you but time isn't on my side so maybe whenever I'm back in town I Will surely ask you to pay me a visit" she smiled " will do that gladly ma" he beamed "Hmm you're so lovely, just call me grandma so what do you do for a living dear?"

He whispered into a small earpiece, "He’s left my side. He went out for some fresh air—this is our window. Make sure the room is ready." He spotted Aiden standing alone in the shadows of the garden. A stranger had approached the boy, but Mike stepped in quickly to maintain control of his prize. "Get away from him," Mike shooed the stranger with a dismissive wave. "Why would you do that? He was only trying to have a conversation," Aiden argued, frustrated by the constant interference of the people in this world. "Eh! He almost deceived you. Didn’t the person who brought you here teach you the ethics of strange places?" Mike warned, his voice dripping with mock concern. "Err… let’s not talk about him for now. It’s a waste of time," Aiden hissed, the thought of Damien and Jessica making his chest tighten with fresh annoyance. M
"Why am I even at this party full of high-class citizens? It's not like we had… sex more than once," I murmured to myself, leaning against a pillar in the corner of the grand ballroom. The words felt bitter on my tongue. I was just a student from a café, a temporary distraction in a world of silk and secrets. "What did you say?" a voice interrupted sharply from behind me. "Ugh! Sorry for disturbing you," I blurted out, spinning around and bowing instinctively. I started to walk away, my face burning with embarrassment, but a hand reached out and grabbed my wrist. "Seems you don’t remember me again… and after I sent you that text." I blinked, looking up into a pair of familiar, playful eyes. "Ohhh, it’s you… Mike! Finally, I can talk to someone I actually understand," I said, a genuine smile breaking through my anxiety. "Yeah, of course it’s me. How have you been, Aiden? And tell me, are you related to the Smiths? I saw you arrive with them earlier," he asked, raising an eyebrow
Sean had known the moment he heard Jessica’s sharp, entitled voice over the phone that the evening’s peace was over. He had stood at the edge of the dining hall for several minutes, watching the silhouette of Damien and Aiden through the glass. He had seen something he hadn't seen in years: Damien looking genuinely relaxed, even amused. "Sir..." Sean had hesitated, almost turning back to give his boss just ten more minutes of happiness. But Damien’s eyes, sharp as a hawk’s, had already locked onto him. "What is it?" Damien asked, his voice returning to that cold, clipped Japanese. "Miss Jessica called," Sean reported, bowing his head. "She said she is landing in Japan tonight and will be attending the party." "Jessica!" Damien’s fists clenched on top of the tablecloth, the fine linen wrinkling under his grip. The brief warmth that had filled the air between him and Aiden vanished instantly, replaced by a biting chill. Aiden, who had been halfway through a piece of tempura, stop
It was exactly 5 p.m. when the designated driver arrived at the mansion. Aiden lingered at the door for a moment, feeling a strange mix of nerves and anticipation, before finally sliding into the plush leather interior of the car. "Sir, we will be heading to the restaurant. Master Damien has reserved the entire venue," the driver informed him. "Okay… no problem," Aiden replied, though his heart did a little somersault. He kept his eyes glued to his phone, trying to act like a private restaurant buyout was a totally normal occurrence for a student who usually lived on instant ramen and café leftovers. When they arrived, Aiden’s cool exterior crumbled. The architecture was a stunning blend of traditional Japanese woodwork and modern glass. "Wow! This is beautiful! Look at those paintings," he exclaimed, snapping a few quick photos. He needed proof for Justine—and himself—that this wasn't just a vivid dream. As he was led through the grand dining hall, he noticed the eerie silence. A
"So, you mean Damien had memory loss regarding the incident, and none of you really know the full story of what he saw?" Aiden asked, leaning forward. The weight of Mrs. Kate’s story made the luxurious room feel suddenly cold."Yes… he never opened up to anyone. And he’s told us never to call him Charlton since the day he woke up," Mrs. Kate replied, her voice dropping to a cautious whisper."But why? It’s just a name.""I noticed that whenever we do, he gets these terrible headaches—and sometimes he ends up in the hospital," she whispered, looking toward the door. "Let me tell you a little secret…" She leaned in closer."What is it?" Aiden whispered back, caught up in the tension."Hey! You don’t have to whisper back," she scolded playfully, hitting his arm lightly."Oh… then why are you whispering? We’re the only ones in the room!" Aiden chuckled, the heavy mood breaking for a second."Err… yeah, true," she laughed dryly, and Aiden burst into a genuine fit of laughter."You really a
