Dominique nodded, giving him reassurance. "I swear. I won't tell this to anyone. This is just a secret between us."

Aaron smiled upon hearing that. "Okay, Uncle Dom. I believe you."

Dominique froze on his spot upon hearing that revelation. 'Aaron is Athena's son. But why? Why doesn't she want to acknowledge Aaron?'
