Contractual Hearts Chapter 1 Introduction

Hector's POV

My name is Hector Edward and I am 30 years old. I have sandy blond hair that turns a shade of brown in different lightings. Along with this I have blue eyes, a muscular build and stand at 6'1".

Today I finally was able to change offices in Edward Inc. Instead of being stuck on the third floor, I've been upgraded to the 50th. That's where the CEO spends all his time in the office.

My father is the CEO of Edward Inc. now, and soon it will be my turn to take over which is one of the reasons I get to transfer to the top floor. I'll be training with my father to take over the company in the upcoming year.

I have a brother named Jonas who is twenty-six years old and he's a serial bachelor. He associates himself with every kind of woman. It doesn't matter if she's tall, short, thin, fat, black, white or purple; he loves them all.

Speaking of Jonas, he walks into the office with a girl attached to his hip. Jonas smirks at me and points to his girl. "Do you like it?" He mouths.

I give him the thumbs up before he opens the door and walks into Dad's office. I start unpacking my stuff, and put my certificates up on the wall. My favorite is the one I earned from graduating from Harvard with Honors.

My Grandfather and father didn't make it easy for me to get the job at Edward's Inc. They thought it was best that the next CEO studied and graduated at the top of their classes before even getting a job at the company.

I had to start right at the bottom as a mail guy. I had to deliver things to people as well. Things like tea and coffee and photocopying; all the boring jobs.

I sigh and move to my seat. I spin the chair around and stick my hands on the back of my head and look out the window. I can see the entire city from my desk.

Someone behind me clears their throat. "Enjoying the view son?"

I spin the chair around to find my father and grandfather sitting in the chairs opposite my desk. I smile. "Yes," I sit properly in my chair and place my hands on the table. "What can I do for you today?"

The door opens and grandmother walks into the room. She walks to the right of the room and takes a seat on the leather couch.

I didn't do anything.

Grandmother smiles. "We need to talk about you becoming the CEO of Edward Inc."

"Okay,"

Grandfather puts a piece of paper in front of me. "This is your contract for the year before we sign the CEO position to your name. Do look over the list of things you need to do by the end of the year."

Grandmother leans forward on her chair. "Number one is very important on that contract."

I took the paper from my grandfather and began reading.

Name: Hector Edward

CEO PERMANENT POSITION TERMS

1. Needs to give up his bachelor ways and marry someone during the year.

Have they lost their minds? I can't get married within the year.

I skip over the rest of the contract and sign the thing. I give it to them. "I'll find someone to marry within the year, Grandmother. I promise you and you'll love her."

Grandmother nods. "For your sake I hope so."

Grandfather, father, and grandmother rise and exit my office.

I bang my head on the table a couple of times and then...

I know who I'll get to marry me. She'll need to sign A Year Contract to be mine only.

I pull out my phone and look at the picture of the beautiful blonde, blue eyed Goddess I once knew.

Sophie Fredrickson, you will be mine again.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
