I Won't Let Anyone Take You Away

"Sir the Torrennos came earlier than expected". Corbin rushed to Jack's office as soon as he received the information.

"Where did they stay?". He stopped his work and focused on Corbin. He was wondering why did they came early than expected.

"They already bought a manor at Hidden Canyon". He placed the files and photos in Jack's table.

Jack took the files and read the owner's name of the house. It's not Torrennos but DaSilva. He remembered the last name as the owner of a shoe and clothing business. One of the biggest in Europe where the Torrennos's rules.

The Hidden Canyon is one of the prestigious and most famous subdivision in the country. It was built almost outside of the city where access are very difficult and the security is superb. The place itself is really almost hidden because of the structure. A lot of influential people live there that is why it's not really that accessible. But Jack thought the old Torrennos didn't know the real owner of the said village because if he do he might think twice to buy one from him.

"Who is this person?". The report he was reading doesn't say any connections of the both families. He cannot see any ties or did it intentionally.

"I already looked into it after I got that report. The family name belong to the cousin of the new Madam of Torrennos. He came here before and bought the Manor two years ago". Corbin stated. "His record is clean and even if we know that he is related to the Torrennos we might still sell the land to him because back then you aren't married yet to Ms. Son".

"I see". He looked at the photos of the young Torrennos then the photo of the house. It was built like the European style old houses. But the one that he focused his eyes on is the photo of the old Toni Torrennos. "So, he really knows how to use his pawns. Tricky old man!".

At the Hidden Canyon. Number thirty eight diamond house.

"Hey grandpa, guess what?". Khilla opens a conversation with the old Torrennos who was sitting in their grand sofa reading his papers.

"What". He answered without looking at him.

"We have just met the woman that you like for us, yesterday". He paused and looked at Drako who is coming to their direction. "She is not what little brother told us". Then he gave Drako a smirk. He sounded like he is accusing him of lying.

Drako sits lazily in a single couch followed by his older brother Raider. He just gives Khilla an annoying look and copied how he opens his amount. Raider was suppressing his laughter, he really thinks Drako is very cute when he is annoyed.

"Did you introduce yourself?". Toni is still reading his papers and didn't gave them a single glance.

"I tried to but she's not interested in them". Drako is now the one smirking at his older brother Khilla. "I think the power of their charms only works with the ladies without a brain". He even crossed his arms to his chest and lifted his one eyebrow to him.

Toni stops himself from reading and looked at Drako. He remembered something that happens a long time ago.

"Something wrong grandpa?". Raider became worried when his grandfather falls into silence out of the blue.

"I just remembered your father when he was about your age. The time when he met Celestine, Azalea's mother. He was captivated by her beauty and brain but she didn't gave your father even a single glance". He shook his head remembering how broken hearted his son back then.

"Well it's her lost and it's our mother's gain. If it isn't for our mother you won't have us". Drako frowned by the thought that his father was ignored too by Azalea's mother.

"I think she's stupid. She was handed with a gem but she still choose a rock". Khilla's light aura changed into dark. The Torrennos are not someone that can be ignored by anyone. His father was like humiliated back then.

"I think she is not just in love with him". Raider understands the story.

He thinks Azalea's mother is the type of person who uses her heart more than her brain. A rare type of woman who will endure pain for the one she loves. He heard this story from his father too, secretly. His father never opens up his feelings to anyone except to him, specially to his mother they know she will be furious because of jealousy. He knows that his father is still in love with the woman despite how good his mother to him. But he won't blame the man. He too falls in love with a woman he don't really know or maybe he can never have. A very rare woman that he met in one of his race. An angel who helped him without batting an eye in mids of danger.

"You are right Raider. Even though she knew who he was she never intended to use him. But your father did manage to utilize her talent that's why a contract of her marrying to our family was made". Toni never hide anything to his grandchildren. At first they never understand the concept of the contract they made a long time ago but he uses their family motto to utilize it.

"But grandpa what if it didn't work?". Khilla becomes curious. If the results aren't the one they are expecting.

"I thought I raised you by myself to be a real Torrennos. Why are you doubting yourselves today?". He looks at the three of them and shook his head while grinning.

He really did raised the five siblings in his own home away from their mother's grasp. He never liked the woman but he needed a wife for his son who was broken hearted at that time. Margaret DaSilva's family needs a strong backing and he needs another heir and the marriage happens. Through the years he noticed that the woman falls inlove with his son already but his son treats him only in a civil way. His heart is already frozen to the thing called love and it makes Margaret furious. Sometimes she turns her frustration to his sons. That is why Toni took all of them under his wings away from their scheming mother.

Shin Tower.

Jack and Corbin was busy checking all the reports they had about the Torrennos when Trey came in.

"Grandfather has arrived and he is in our ancestral house. He wants us to send invites to the Torrennos and hold the meeting in our house". As he walks straight to his cousin's location.

"When?".

"Tomorrow night".

"Corbin make some arrangements". Jack was thinking about Azalea. "Whatever happens I won't let anyone take you away from me". He said to himself.

Hidden Canyon.

"Sir an invitation just arrived". Toni's secretary gave him his notepad to show the invitation.

"I thought the invitation is still written in the paper. The new century is really fascinating nowadays". He is always amazed with the new technology around them. And he noticed how his three grandsons chuckles. "I'm glad I made you laugh. Prepare yourself for tomorrow night we're going to visit an old friend". Toni is grinning with excitement.
