After twenty minutes of a silence car ride, we finally arrive to our destination.
A five stars restaurant.
I've never been to places as refined as this one without having to hide.
Whenever my uncle and his men would go to the casino i would hide and try to figure out what his next move would be.

The dinner starts really quiet until Jaxon finally says something to make it less weird..
—So, Aiden, how have you been doing these few months? You know, after what happened.
—Oh, big brother don't pretend like you care about me. I see i haven't missed on much haven't i? You're still in it aren't you?

Jaxon looks at his brother as if they were hiding something.
—I don't think it would be the appropriate place to talk about these things Aiden.
—Fine, whatever. One day or another your beautiful wife to be, will know all about these stuff.
Jaxon, furiously hits the table.
—My fiancée and I 's business is not your concern!
—If I may ask; what are you guys talking about?
—Nothing you should worry about darling.
—Can I have a word with you, Aiden? Privately.
Aiden rolls his eyes then they both get out, to the restaurant's balcony.

The more i stay with them, the more i wonder what secret their family's holding.
I can't help but wonder what's really going on.
After several minutes of them smoking outside, a man comes to our table. He lights up a cigarette and asks me if i would like one.
—Yes, please.

—Where's your boyfriend sweetie? —He's outside talking to his broth-—You are not to come near me or my family ever again

—Where's your boyfriend sweetie?
—He's outside talking to his broth-
—You are not to come near me or my family ever again. And you have no right to speak to my fiancée. 
Jaxon says from behind the man as he returns from outside.
—Ahh, here's our Angel. How are you doing Jaxon?

"angel" ?

— Get the hell out of here Morris. Jaxon whispers angrily at the guy.
—I'm just here as an ally. That's all. Says Morris with a smirk on his face, as he takes a sip another from his cigarette.

Jaxon takes a deep breath, looks at his brother who shakes his head at him. Looks like Aiden doesn't want Jaxon to talk to this Morris guy.
—You want to talk? Let's talk. But not here, in my office.
—No, it won't be necessary. I'm not here to talk business or anything related to that. I'm just here to tell you that hell is in danger.
—What are you talking about Morrice? You know we don't play games, says Aiden.
—Why would you come as an ally? And why should we believe you?
—Let's just say, what's coming is bigger than both of us. Anyways, good chat but sadly, i have to go.
Morrice stands up to leave, as Jaxon stops him and says in a lower voice;
—If i ever learn that it's a trick, you and your dirty little family won't be happy about it.
Morrice removes Jaxon's hand from his shoulder, waves his hand and leaves without saying another word.
Jaxon takes his jacket, pays the bill and we all leave.
..
On our way back home, Jaxon and Aiden look nervous.
Aiden's shaking his legs and Jaxon's looking out the window.
—Faster Louis, we have to be home early. We have a meeting, says Jaxon to his driver.
—I'm holding up a meeting Aiden. You're free to come.
—Nah mate. You know I don't do those anymore.
—Meeting about what? I ask.
—Nothing you should worry about, work meeting.. men's buissness.
—And what buissness do you work in?
—Enough questions Jayden! You better stay out of it.
—Woah man, nice way to talk to your fiancée,
says Aiden sarcastically.
—Stay out of it little brother, reply Jaxon angrily.

Once we arrive home, a bunch of men enter his office, they close the door as Myrala tells me to wait in my room.
I try to listen from behind the door their conversation;
—"It was a warning! He was warning us.
—Or a trick.
—We can't risk it boss.
—What do we have to loose?

Suddenly i feel someone behind me-
—Woah, you shouldn't be here beauty.
—Oh, Aiden.. you scared me.
—Looks like we have a little spy in here. He says jokingly.
—I was just-
—Stay out of it beauty. You're too pretty for this.
—What is this?

Aiden pauses to think about what his next words will be then says;
— Wanna go somewhere?
—Where?
—Anywhere.
—Okay.
—Let's go then.

I know they're hiding something, i just got to make myself look clueless that something's going on..
