If you love a CEO with a tormented heart to call his own and strong, fighting girls, you will fall in love with this couple. Once upon a time there was a lonely CEO named Andrew who dedicated his entire life to his work. He was successful in his career, but he had no time for anything beyond that. Until one day he came across a hard-working cleaning lady named Ella. Ella is a humble, kind and very hard-working young woman who makes Andrew fall in love with her from the frst moment he sees her. But she fears that her simple, humble life will never fit into Andrew's sophisticated life. Will he be able to see that true love has no social barriers, and will Ella see that her dreams can come true if she believes in herself? This is a cliché romance, inspired by the Cinderella fairy tale, but with a modern twist and a message of love and hope. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I loved writing Andrew and Ella's story. Hawthorne, Some Years Before It's a rainy day with palpable sadness in the air. I look at my body covered in raindrops that the umbrella couldn't block. I'm wearing dark clothes exactly like my father, who I fnd standing on the other side of the room. I hold my nanny's hand tightly. I look around, confused, scared, watching people crying or whispering something to us with their expressions of sadness and grief. My father is silent, reclusive, his eyes are red, but no tears come out of them. Still, I can see your sadness like no one else in this room can. Your pain. While I myself try to understand what is happening inside me. The void that seems to become a big black hole in my chest. Dad's distance from me since we left home makes me insecure about going to him. Afraid. I look in front of me. Mom is in a big shiny wooden box. The nanny insists that I come closer, but I'm afraid to get any closer. This seems forbidden, but I try. One step at a time. I look at her face. It's serene. I can almost see her beautiful smile. It's as if she was sleeping or saying one of her prayers that she said on the carpet. Only she isn't. Sleeping. Somehow, I understand that mom will never wake up from this dream and I can no longer hold back my tears. Daddy says strong people don't cry. They just swallow the defeats and move on. I break away from Nanny's hand and go to him. His face remains hard, still without paying me any kind of attention. - Why don't you talk to me, daddy? - I try really hard, but I can't hold back the sobs coming out of my throat. Mom was always attentive to me, affectionate and I remember her by my side all the time saying that she loved me and that I was her sunshine. Would Dad feel the same? I desperately want a hug, a kind word, any kind of comfort from him. A promise that everything will be okay. But none of that came from my father. - Come on, darling - the nanny holds my hand again. Dad doesn't move, doesn't look at me, and doesn't answer the question I asked him. Would I ever have the answer? Would daddy look at me with love and pride one day? I will fght to deserve this.

Wisdom University, Windlerbrook I'm

sitting in business relations class, listening intently to the teacher as I make notes in my notebook, when I hear my cell phone ring. I look at Mrs. Marshal with an apologetic look and quickly silence the device. It didn't

take long for the sound of the vibration on the table to draw the teacher's attention to me again. This is not a common thing to happen. Only my parents, my younger sister Dorothy, my best friend Tina, who is sitting right

behind me, could be calling me this early. It must defnitely be a company wanting to sell something. I should.

Oh no! Lowering the glasses. That means I'm in a lot of trouble. I try to pick up the device so it doesn't further.

Needless to say, at that moment I already have the entire room's attention on me and Mrs. Marshal. - You're disrupting class with your phone, Miss. Pepper - the teacher decrees in an irritated tone - Turn it off

immediately or I will ask you to leave. If I had been a little smarter, I would have fnally turned the device off and thrown it into the depths of my backpack and only taken it out for the next century at least. But becoming.

the center of everyone's attention and interests is something I'm still learning to work on. Immediately, I apologize to the teacher, pick up the phone and leave the room as if my two white Nike sneakers were on fre.

I rest my back on the door as it closes behind me and I slide to a stop against the wall. The phone vibrates again, startling me. It's a local number, but completely unknown to me. - I would like to speak to Elle Pepper.

- Ella. It's Ella Pepper. Who is it? - This is Nurse Santiago... The woman on the other end of the line and she told me she was from St. Milton hospital. I knew immediately that something had happened to my family. As

soon as I assimilate the word hospital, my eyes widen and my heart starts to beat faster. - Do you know.

Nora, Paul and Dorothy Pepper? I knew something was wrong. - They are my parents and my younger sister.

- Your parents and sister were involved in an accident and are being treated here at the moment. We need.

you to come immediately. I can't believe what I'm hearing. I feel tears streaming down my face as I try to stay calm. - Of course, I'm going now - I reply in a low voice. Stunned, I return to the classroom to get my things.

The teacher still seems to be irritated with me, but when she sees the tears in my eyes her frown softens. -

Are you well? - No, I'm not - I reply, sobbing - My parents and sister were in a car accident and are in the hospital. I need to go there now. The teacher, Mrs. Marshal, immediately switched to one of concern and

compassion. - Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Go, go now. I hope you are well. Everything becomes a real blur for me. I can barely see the people around me. - Wait, Ella - I hear Tina's voice coming behind me in the long.

college hallway - I'm going with you. - My parents, Tina... - I sob louder when she puts her hand on myshoulder and guides me to the parking lot. - They are well. Everything will be fne. You need to stay calm. I'm

too nervous to drive and we end up in Tina's car, who drives as fast as she can while I pray that everything is

okay. I feel fear arising, fear of what might have happened to my family. I try to remember the last time we

were together, just today at the breakfast table. I teased Dothy as always and my parents presented the same

shameful scene of a couple in love, without caring that their daughters found it disgusting. I'm terrifed.

worried, scared, but I'm very hopeful that it was nothing more than a big scare. Finally, we arrive at the hospital and I go straight to reception. I explain to the woman what happened and the receptionist takes us to the waiting room. I sit in a chair shaking with fear as I anguishly wait for news. I couldn't think about anything

other than my parents and my little sister. - Please let them be okay - I say a silent prayer - Please, God. As

I wait, I hear the conversation of other people approaching. The moment the doctor's eyes fell on me, I knew the worst had happened. I hear my last name being called and I quickly stand up. - How are they? They are fine? - I ask the doctor even though inside I already know the answer. - I am really sorry. Your parents... That

was the beginning of it all. CHAPTER 2 G&S, Hawthorne I'm sitting at my desk, poring over the earnings sheets.

company that I have been running for the last year and I need to ensure that everything is in order to present

to my father. And as the son of a successful businessman admired by everyone, letting any failures pass by in the eyes of an experienced and demanding fox like Mr. Gilbert wouldn't make our always tense relationship

any better. Suddenly, I hear a knock on the door and I look up to see my secretary approaching. - Excuse me

Mr. Andrew. Your father is president and would like to speak to you. Is my father at G&S headquarters? When

had he returned from his business trip in Europe? And why hadn't he notifed me of his return? I feel a shiver

run through my body. I take a deep breath and try to remain calm. It's the only way to deal with him. - Thank

you, Christine, can you let him know that I'm on my way? As soon as my secretary leaves, I get up and straighten my tie, making sure I look presentable. I walk toward the presidency, thinking of all the possible

reasons why my father could be here. I arrive at the door, knock and wait for the signal for me to enter, which never comes. I open the door to fnd my father sitting behind his desk, looking stern and serious as always.

life of deprivation. This is how I lived most of my existence. Everything was always missing. Food, clothes, money. There was also a lack of affection, family and love. A life without any relatives around. A childhood and adolescence in an orphanage. And growing up in a place like this is not easy. Waiting for parents who never showed up, seeing other kids having better luck than mine. And the more I grew, the more distant the dream of adoption became, the more distant any possibility became for me. Over time, the expectation of waiting passed. Over time, seeing other children get a new start didn't hurt me as much. I arrived at that place already far from the age that families were looking for. Rebel, undisciplined and this only made my situation even more difficult. I soon entered adolescence and I couldn't be more difficult, more indomitable. I didn't like those who worked there, the other orphans, or myself. Orphan. The word reminds me of everything, it reminds me that I have no one in the world. Perhaps I never had a father, perhaps my progenitor never knew of my existence. Brothers, fortunately the irresponsible woman who brought me into the world did not have the opportunity to give birth, as she died of an overdose even though she had a hungry child crying while taking drugs. Flashes of that night insist on occupying my mind. They remind me how weak she was, how incapable she was of fighting for us. To fight for a better life for myself. Even a life for yourself. And it shaped the wild child I was, the indomitable adult I am. I know I wasn't and I'm not the best person in the world, but there's something I can be proud of: being astute. I discovered very early on that I didn't want a life of so many deprivations. Discovering that I could use my intelligence, outside of the average, to achieve better expectations for my future. And it was in a lecture, among many that were given to institutionalized people, that I discovered that the type of life I would lead would depend on me. I discovered that I didn't want anything like what I had, that I wanted to build a victorious future. “Focus on your potential.” I heard this phrase, I understood what she meant. I repeated it in my mind over and over again. I realized that I didn't have any choice about my past and present, but if it were up to me, my future would be very different from everything I had experienced up until that moment. Potentiality. Mathematics. Numbers. A facility capable of leaving all teachers astounded. Able to make me stand out in the economics course. Among contemporary students, among perhaps all those who passed through there. After turning 18 we were invited to discover the world outside those walls, we were forced to be on our own. I was already in my first semester of college when I came of age. I was already able to attract attention with my grades. And before he even had to walk through the doors of the orphanage for the last time, he already had a mentor. Antônio realized that perhaps taking me to work with him would bring many advantages, even if he tried to make me think it was because he had a good heart, that he wanted to help me. I pretended to believe him because he needed an income, he needed money if he didn't want to end up on the street, under the viaduct. But he didn't just want that. I didn't want much. I wanted the world. I knew I had the potential to do this, but to do so I needed to seize any possibility that came my way. So I was hired to work at his financial consultancy company and I was happy to work in a medium-sized company, owned by a prominent academic professor, well sought after in the financial market

ENEMIES TO LOVERS – AGE GAP (10 YEARS) – FORCED COEXISTENCE – PCD REPRESENTATIVITY – HOT SCENES “She didn’t represent anything he wanted, but she was everything he obsessively desired.” Michael Swartz is the richest banker in the country. A handsome, seductive, intelligent and well-connected man. At 33 years old, he has immeasurable wealth, high prestige and numerous women. Until a twist hits him like a wind hitting a house of cards. Counting on the help of the only woman who seems immune to his charm, Michael will need to adapt to the new reality or, otherwise, succumb to it. "My Arrogant Banker" is an intense adult romance, with explicit hot scenes. Indicative rating: 18 years old. PROLOGUE - "A Small Final Affront" MICHAEL SWARTZ The pungent smell of candles mixed with the cloying perfume of flowers grew more unpleasant by the minute. It was almost unbearable, and I couldn't wait to leave. But it had a good side. In the background, a soft voice filled the room, chanting "Insensatez" to my complete delight. I had handpicked the soundtrack for the wake. He hated Bossa Nova because he considered the style "too popular". That was the fun... That room playing only Tom Jobim, João Gilberto and Toquinho was a small final affront. Oh, why were you so weak? So heartless? Ah, my heart, whoever has never loved Does not deserve to be loved — My condolences. — Thank you — I replied for the hundredth time. Or thousandth? I lost count of how many times the simple dialogue was repeated that gray afternoon, with one variation or another. - My feelings. - Thanks. — Your father was a good man. Worthy. Exemplary. - Thanks. My mother had left many years before, causing everyone to come directly to me to offer condolences. The eldest son of the late banker Abraão Swartz. The luxurious coffin hovered like a tourist attraction in the adjacent hall, with hundreds of crestfallen people passing by it, amid prayers, laments and tears. And me? I didn't feel anything. Absolutely nothing. A huge emptiness ravaged my chest as I tried to search my memory for any memory that would live up to the "good", "worthy" and "exemplary" praise. —Thirty-three years, the age of Christ. What's it like to be the richest and youngest banker in the country? — Gabriel stopped next to me, an almost imperceptible smile on my twin's lips. Like me, Gab didn't care about the family's Judaism. “I haven't stopped to think about it yet,” I replied, smoothing my black suit, expelling any imaginary dust from the expensive fabric. — How not? Damn, Michael... Now that the old man is finally dead, the Swartz Bank is in his hands,” he whispered, nudging me with his elbow. Like me, Gab didn't give a damn about the dead man in the next room. Unlike us, our cousins ​​were tearful on one of the leather sofas, heads down, looking genuinely saddened by my father's death. I wouldn't judge them. The other Swartz did not receive the same "warm" attention that Abraham gave his children. In fact, few people knew about the cruel treatment given to Gab and, in particular, to me, throughout my childhood and adolescence. The firstborn. How I hated the word... "The old man is finally dead." Gabriel's sentence resonated like an echo, pulling me out of that pit of indifference and torpor, spreading waves of heat through my insides. Slow and sneaky like venomous snakes. — Cheer up... — insisted Gab. — Besides the position and the money, there’s one more reason to celebrate, brother
