Trouble

Jasmine wakes up with an alarming message sent by her father. She immediately calls him through her phone and waits for him to answer.

"Father! What just happened?"

Her father grumbles under his breath before answering her worried daughter.

"I was playing golf with some friends when I felt as if everything is shaking and my vision is getting blurry."

Jasmine sighs heavily through the phone and immediately asks Mr. Terry to ready the car and she packs up all of her things. 

"You don't have to come here, my daughter. I am okay. It's just a simple headache."

Jasmine stares at her phone as she wears her shoes and puts it on speaker mode. 

"It's not just a headache, father. Wait for the doctor's decision before you go out, father. I will be in Switzerland in no time."

She hangs up the call, not waiting for her father's answer as she advises every maid and butler of the house to not tell Aiden anything about this. 

They all nod and proceed to the airport where the Matautia family's private jet plane is waiting for Jasmine. Boarded by the best pilot and his crew, the jet plane ascended after a few reminders from the captain.

Just like what she says, Jasmine arrives in Switzerland in less than four hours, much faster than the economic flights that requires doing a stop-over from country to country. 

Once landed, Jasmine passes through the security in a speed of light. Being a VIP in the airport, passing through the immigration with no checking is very convenient for her. 

A driver is already waiting for her arrival. She hops in the car and the driver immediately starts the engine and maneuvers its way out of the traffic that is piling up the airport. 

"Where is my father?"

Jasmine asks as she looks towards the driver. But the man is not talking to him. His gesture towards Jasmine makes her a bit anxious. 

She looks around the car and doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary. She pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through her feed. 

Minutes had passed until Jasmine realizes that they are not near the city anymore. The path that the car is taking is a bit unusual for her. 

She continues to swipe on her phone and goes to Maps to see where she is. Finding out her location, she sends the information out to her friends with a tiny message of "Wait for my call of help". 

She peeks through her camera screen to see what the driver is doing. She uses her other devices to record anything that is happening between her and the driver, in case that something might happen during this trip.

The car passes every road and tunnel until Jasmine notices that there are no more buildings and the view is just filled with vines and tall trees. 

She looks at her Maps and pins her last location. According to her location, she is on the North eastern border of Germany, between the town of Schaffhausen and Lake Constance. 

She doesn't appeared nervous of what could happen to her and the driver is much nervous than Jasmine. She inhales a deep breath as the car stops in the middle of nowhere. 

Jasmine looks outside when the car door opens, revealing a much taller guy that doesn't look like the driver. Normally, she will question anyone that doesn't deem familiar with her. 

But upon seeing the guy's reaction, she shuts her mouth and walks out of the car quietly. The guy closes the car door and moves beside Jasmine, clearly nervous yet he is not showing how nervous he is. 

With a low voice, he whispers something that Jasmine could only hear. 

"Master Evon calls out for an emergency meeting amongst the family. According to the meeting, the Santoros are making their move to find the hidden gem of the clan. 

They have been searching high and low for the young master but they couldn't find him around Switzerland. Thinking that the young master is still in the mansion, they follow Master Evon's schedule and made sure that there's no one in the mansion. 

Once Master Evon goes to his golf game, some of the Santoro children enter our premises, breaking many other things that belongs to our clan and goes inside the mansion. 

But they didn't find the Young master. Upon knowing this fact, Master Evon tasks everyone to hide you and the young master somewhere far away from this place. 

He is hoping for your coordination, Miss Jasmine."

Jasmine can't believe his ears after hearing what had the driver just said. She can't believe that the Old Witch would do something like that to their family. 

But this one question remains, why?

"Why would they do something like this?"

The young man clears his throat and stares at the bewilderness in front of them.

"They want to marry one of their own to the Young master."

Jasmine's eyes widen in surprise. She never knew that something like this would happen. In all of the members of the Santoro clan, which of those girls or boys would they want to marry off to her gay brother?

"Which of them?"

The driver visibly flinches as he takes out a tiny folder in his coat. Jasmine takes the folder into her arms and flips the pages to see which Santoro children it will be. 

Her eyes widen in surprise when she sees the picture of the man that they want to marry off to her brother. 

"Oh come on… Of all people, why this guy?"

The driver shrugs his shoulder because he doesn't even know the reason why. Jasmine exasperated a sigh and looks around the tiny forest where the driver parked the car.

"What is this place?"

The driver clears his throat and smiles.

"This is the North and Eastern border of Germany, Miss. Switzerland locates at the North border of Germany near Schaffhausen. While the eastern border with Germany and a portion of Austria is drawn through Lake Constance."

Jasmine hums as she nods her head in understanding. Minutes had gone passed between the two of them, the driver is getting more relaxed than anxious as the cold breeze swifts touches his face. 

He clears his throat and looks at the time as he remembers what his Master had said about the information upon Jasmine's arrival. 

He looks at the beautiful lady beside him and shakes off the feeling of thumpering heart and fidgeting hands.

"M-Miss Jasmine?"

He shuts his mouth to prevent himself from stuttering further more as Jasmine looks at him with her hazelnut eyes.

"Yes?"

The driver clears his throat and immediately opens the door again. Jasmine looks at him with confusion as he stutters his way on the information given to him.

"Master Evon would like to speak with you through a private channel. After our conversation here in the Mountain's Peak, I need to bring to the Alps to packed all of your stuffs and get ready to move to another country. 

"What about my brother?"

The driver looks at Jasmine with his soft and tantalizing eyes. 

"He will stay in the Philippines until further notice."
