The Castilho family was famous in the commercial branch thanks to its diverse services. As if there were several groups, the Castilho could be your lawyer, help you in the purchase of real estate, to take care of your personal and business financial life and other things.
The founder of this family's goal is to ensure that Castilho was everywhere. Thanks to this, there was no information they did not know, knowing how to use them strategically to gain advantages in the negotiations and keep their surname high.
So the Mckenzie hated the Castilho.
In an old house with a huge yard full of trees and flowers, lived a master in the house of his ninety years. The wrinkles and the dull look that admired his beautiful and well-kept garden one day was turned to business.
That was the founder of the Castilho.
— Sunbathing, grandpa?! — Waved an alpha of tanned skin, smiling excited as he entered the garden — It's time for you to have your tea, isn't it?
The old man raised his head slowly and then smiled waving back.
— Well, it seems that my only grandson came to visit this grandfather.
— Don't talk like that, you know my cousins are taking care of the business and so you do not have much free time.
— So you became a bum, is it?!
— For sure, haha!
Your grandfather knew he lied. Matheus Castilho had already been chosen as the next family leader, the only problem was that he kept postponing the announcement to the great mass. With this, his father and his uncles continued as supposed leaders despite the boy already being active in his new role.
It was not very clear why he kept his appointment under wraps, however, it was fascinating how this helped him move freely to be able to deal with the business.
— Who came with you?!
— Me, grandpa! — Jake appeared smiling wide — Did you missed me, right?!
— Oh, brat!
— Hahaha, are you okay? Are you taking care of your health?
— I'm going to die, so why take care of me?
— To finish cursing my parents, you said there were more than five hundred swearing still.
— Yes, it is, it is.
Every now and then, Jake come visit Matheus' grandfather. And even though the old man knowing that the alpha was a Mckenzie, more Jake hear him cursing his own parents. While the Mickenzie hate their rivals, the Castilhos enjoy mock their rivals. That old man's mood was indeed interesting.
The two alphas helped the old man get into the house. The lady who took care of him greeted the boys and continued with her duties with the other maids who kept the house running.
Jake went back to the living room, which seemed to have stopped in the eighties. The furniture, wall tiles, pictures on the shelf and even hanging paintings looked like typical houses of a nostalgic old man. Every time Jake entered that house he was surprised as if he had traveled in time, a pleasant feeling as if he could experience a time that would never return.
— What brings you to visit me?
— We came make a search in your office, grandpa — Matheus warned, handing the cup of tea that the caregiver had prepared — I need information from a specific family.
Mr. Castilho took the cup and blew before he drank the first sip, then he raised his opaque eyes to the two boys.
— What are you looking for in my stuff?
— You know what it is, grandpa?! — Jake sat next to the old man — Do you believe my parents tried to threaten my omega?
— Don't tell me! — The old man answered with clear interest.
— Well I say! I'm lucky to have an omega as fucking Nath, because he threatened Doctor Octavio. He said that if my parents try to threaten him again, he will destroy his career.
— My goodness, Matheus, you need an omega like that.
— I suddenly became deaf, do you believe it?! — Matheus made a grimace when scratching his ear.
— This brat... And why do your parents want to talk to your omega? By chance will they force him to have an heir?
— As if it were necessary a threat for that — He mocked Matheus.
Jake answered him with the middle finger.
— It's the usual lie, grandpa. But since my omega is so fantastic, they want to take advantage of it through threats. Ah I wish I had seen him fighting with the lawyer, it must have been super sexy.
— Hohoho, it's the first time I see you so excited about someone — Laugh old man messing with Jake's dark hair — Good, good. But which family do you want to search?
— Callegari, do you know grandpa?
The old man drank the tea again, and as a sign that he was stuck in thoughts, he hit his finger on the porcelain.
Matheus' grandfather was amazing. Despite his old age, he kept a good memory. It's okay that he walked slower and needed the support of his old cane, but otherwise he was healthy. However, Matheus was a careful grandson who kept an eye on his grandfather.
Well, it's that story, as healthy as they are for their age, old people can fall and get hurt.
— Oh right, right. I think in my time I dealt with the deed of a farm whose family had that name. My goodness, there were four heirs. Yeah, that's right... I remember.
— Deed of a farm? So there was any distribution of inheritance when the owner of the farm died?
— Oh, I don't remember the details anymore, but I'm sure that I had a family with that name. You can look in my office, but it will be hard work to find the paperwork.
Jake and Matheus looked at each other, gathering courage to face that little challenge.
Leaving the grandfather in the care of the maids, the two alphas went to the back of the house, where there was a half water that was his old office. Just passing through the door was enough to seriously rethink your search.
That room was a jungle of papers and folders. There were piles all over the place, being difficult to even step on! Certainly Mr. Castilho used to go into his office once in a while looking for something, and leave his mess behind. The Organization did not exist in that jungle.
— He said it was in the office, didn't he?
— But you know my grandfather, not fucking going to be here.
— Let's start.
The two boys shared headlong into those piles. Luckily some folders were tagged, which made it less difficult to check document by document. Still, it would take them hours to find something.
This is in the best case.
— But how did you get the brilliant idea to ask my grandfather for help?
— Nath said the Callegari were farmers who live nearby.
— Isn't his family? Why does he not talk to these people and ask what he needs?
Jake sat on the floor next to a pile, and continued searching.
— From what he told me, it is the family with whom he has not much contact. And as his mother does not feel comfortable to talk about it, so Nath did not ask much. I don't know, there must be some shit in the family.
— If it's about inheritance, then it makes sense. This subject never works out.
Certainly Nathaniel could have many family problems besides his relationship with the fighter. Although it was not news the omega do not comment much about it. Only that Jake had never considered the hypothesis of his boyfriend also not knowing things.
Did the problems with Ares take him away from his family?
By the way, Nathaniel only had contact with his mother...
What about your father?
— Did Guilherme ever mention their family to you?
— And why do you think the rookie would tell me about something private?
Jake faced Matheus with his eyebrow arched. Was he trying to fool who, this rascal?
— You guys have been so close lately...
— Because of a certain someone I end up being responsible for taking the kid back home and make sure those idiots Akaguia do not get in a fight.
— Okay, okay, I'll pretend to believe.
— I'm not like you, Jake — Matheus replied seriously — That kid will have no merit if he ends up liking me.
— And does Nath have any merit for dating me?
— Just see what you're doing right now — Matheus pointed to Jake — Do you think anyone would go that far for a lover? You asked for favors to everyone you know as soon as the joker told you about talking with the lawyer. I repeat, no one would go that far.
— Do not try to fool me, you and I are the same flour. You're just saying that to keep the person in question safe — Jake replied with indifference, but soon returning the look at his friend with a certain keen brightness — Since it is his new weakness.
After that, the two plunged into silence.
It didn't help to lie to each other. Jake and Matheus were too similar, which justified the fact that they got along so well. The difference was that Jake didn't want to hide anymore.
Especially now that your omega needed your help.
