One of the city's biggest businessmen, Henry Bueno, collects enemies wherever he goes and is used to having women throw themselves into his arms. At thirty-five, he has a rule not to engage with or hire single mothers as his secretaries, as he believes they are trouble magnets and never put work first. With a degree in administration, Vitória did not hesitate to accept the first job opening that came up. Executive secretary, she needs to juggle work and her five-year-old daughter. Everything was going well, until her boss, from one day to the next, fired her for a futile reason. She hates him and doesn't hide it from anyone. He "seems" to agree with this feeling. But how can you keep the rules when your body reacts to the unknown? Is it possible for love to be born between clashes and arguments? PROLOGUE I don't usually care about this intuitive nonsense, but the moment I found out my secretary had a son, I should have dismissed her. If I had done that, I wouldn't be on the verge of collapsing right now. It's not just a fucking meeting, it's something we've been planning for months, after all, we're about to close a million-dollar contract and I don't have the necessary documents because my dear secretary told me at the last minute that she wouldn't be able to go to work. , because your brat woke up sick. If she had informed me in advance, she could have found a way to organize all the documents and even ask someone from the board to help me. She didn't answer my dozens of calls, I searched her entire desk and couldn't find the folder with the necessary documents. Result? I had to postpone the meeting, this is terrible for our image. I walk to the minibar in my living room and grab a shot of very strong cachaça, at that moment, I need alcohol in my blood. I drink the liquid that burns down my throat. Angrily, I throw the glass at the wall next to the door, which opens seconds later. ─ Damn, were you trying to kill me? ─ João enters, looking at the broken glass on the floor. ─ What happened to take your anger out on the poor glass? ─ The meeting with that multinational company had to be postponed. ─ Why? ─ Because Larissa didn't come to work, she's not answering her fucking cell phone and I have no idea where she put the folder with the documents that were supposed to be shared with them. ─ I unbutton my suit, sitting down in my chair. ─ There was no way to do it without these documents? ─ No, all the important information that would make a difference in the negotiations was in them. I can't believe all this shit is happening, something tipped me off about hiring her but I was innocent and ignored my intuition. ─ There must have been an emergency, she has been working with you for months and I don't remember you commenting on any problems ─ he says thoughtfully, sitting down in front of me. ─ I received a message from her informing me that her son woke up sick in the morning, so she was going to take him to the emergency room and wouldn't be able to come to work. If only I had been warned in advance..

Chapter 1 Do you swear

don't care, João. She should have at least answered my damn calls. She's a fucking executive secretary, she should be prepared for every situation. If we lose this contract, I swear I will be able to lose my first offender. ─ You're being an idiot, Henry. Larissa has always been an excellent secretary, I bet it's not just you who must be feeling frustrated, she has to worry about her job and her son who is sick. Don't be a son of a bitch! I don't intend to pay to see it, I will ask HR to dismiss you, we will cover all our obligations, but I urgently need a new secretary. ─ Let's drink.

─ I get up in a hurry, I need alcohol or I'm going to take it out on the first person who appears in front of me. ─ Have you gone crazy? It's still ten in the morning, Henry. ─ If you don't want to accompany me, I'll go alone. ─ Damn, you are very stubborn. I'd better go with you, the way you're angry, you'll be able to pick a fight with everyone and tomorrow you'll have your face plastered all over the city's newspapers. I don't care, it won't be the first nor the last time I'll appear on the pages of the newspaper. I'm not the type of person who is easy to deal with and I don't care about my position, if something displeases me, I make it obvious. We leave my office and some employees greet us, I respond with a nod, heading to the parking lot. My cell phone rings and my sister's name appears on the display, it was just what was needed to make my day more fucked up. ─ Keep it brief, Luz. ─ Mom wants you to come have dinner with us tonight. ─ I'm not in the mood. It was just that? ─ I ask, getting into the car, João will follow me on his motorbike. ─ When are you going to stop acting like a grumpy teenager? Do you know how many times you refused an invitation from our mother? ─ I hear your irritated voice. ─ Stop acting like an idiot and come or I will pick you up at your house. ─ Luz, today is a bad day for you to fill my fucking patience. I had to postpone an important meeting, I don't know if we'll get this contract and my secretary let me down. So do me a favor and keep quiet. I end the call, impatient. I know I owe my mother a visit, but today, of all days, is a bad time, because I know that when I start saying that I need a wife and all the silly demands, I will release some response that will definitely hurt her. I get sex when I feel like it, so why lock myself into a relationship? CHAPTER 1 You know that day when we want to throw the alarm clock at the wall? That's my wish, but then I remember that I can't break my beloved and only cell phone. This routine is killing me, I urgently need to find a school closer, without being able to wake up at five in the morning every day. I force myself to get out of bed, go into the bathroom and take a cold shower, perfect for waking me up completely. I opt for a knee-length dress and throw a jacket in my bag, you never know when the weather might get cold. I prepare Carina's backpack, putting in some extra clothes, since my ex is going to spend the weekend with her. I have custody of our daughter, but he stays with her on the weekends. Even though he was a terrible boyfriend, I can't say the same about his father figure, at least for that he was good. I drink a good cup of coffee, I don't have time to get sick. With the clock showing six in the morning and with a heavy heart, I walk to my little one's room. ─ It's time to wake up, darling. ─ I leave kisses all over her face. ─ Come on, daughter, you don't want to be late to see Aunt Débora, do you? He mumbles something incomprehensible, turning to the other side. This girl doesn't deny that she is my daughter, if she could, she would spend the whole day sleeping, because she is only five years old. ─ Come on, daughter, mommy can't be late for work. Before we moved, I had a steady job, but I thought it would be better to look for new opportunities and that included a new job. After almost a month working as an executive secretary, I will finally meet the all-powerful Henry Bueno, one of the biggest hotel entrepreneurs in the city. We haven't met yet, all stages of the selection process were carried out by the company's HR. The man is always traveling on business and we only spoke via email and phone. It was actually good, with a man as handsome as him, the risk of not being able to concentrate on my duties would be enormous, especially because I'm not blind and I know how to appreciate what is beautiful. ─ Mom, I want to stay at home. ─ Place a pillow over your face. ─ Daughter, you know that if it were another day I would even let you, but I have to work, little one. ─ I mess up your blonde hair like mine. ─ I'm sleepy ─ he mumbles again, refusing to get up. ─ I am too, but that doesn't mean we can give up our responsibilities. ─ I kiss your forehead affectionately. ─ Go to the bathroom quickly, we can't be late. Even though she was upset, she got up from the bed and went into the bathroom. Today you didn't need me to call your favorite princess to tell her that she didn't like taking baths, that's already a big step forward. I watch her take her shower. Ever since she was four years old, she wanted to bathe alone, I've been watching from afar in case anything happens. Ready for school, we went downstairs for breakfast. I check my agenda for the day, I can't miss anything, otherwise I'll mess up Mr. Henry's schedule and I shouldn't make mistakes. Almost an hour later, I park the car in front of the school. ─ Have a good day, daughter. Once you're with your father, ask him to send me a message, please. ─ I give him a kiss on the cheek. ─ You can leave it, mother. I love you - she says, as soon as I take her out of her seat, entering the school. I have half an hour to get to the office, I hope the blessed traffic cooperates with me. As it couldn't be any different, I got into a huge traffic jam, arriving twenty minutes late. God, is today one of those unlucky days? ─ You're late, Vitória ─ Carmen, one of the secretaries says. ─ Do you swear? I thought she was early. ─ I roll my eyes in a completely childish but necessary attitude. ─ What animal bit you today? ─ I woke up at five in the morning, it took me a while to wake up my daughter, I was in a miserable traffic jam and I still forgot my damn cell phone at home. Is it good for you? I throw my bag on my desk, turning on the computer. ─ The person who spoke is no longer here. ─ Raise your hands in a false sign of surrender. ─ I heard that Mr Henry will arrive in the afternoon, apparently his flight was delayed. ─ Good news at least. ─ I'm going to work. Unlike your boss, mine arrives at any moment and will definitely fill me with work. He blows a kiss in the air, leaving my sight. Carmen is João's secretary, one of the group's directors. He is a sweet person. Slutty

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

Today had everything to be a memorable night. It was Carolina's final test against Samuel, and it would clearly be tense.

A bid. They used the lucky foreigner's power of seduction to win over my friend and were celebrating the result, taking her out of the running. What they didn't expect was that Carol would put on a show in a jump. — Fuck them! — I exclaimed, in the bathroom looking at my white face in the mirror. My eyes are already red from trying so hard to avoid the tears that want to flow. Crap! Who would have thought the night would end like this? When I left, I was sure I would spend the night in Brian's arms, in a motel or in his apartment. I had even chosen some sexy lingerie, but now, just thinking about the unfortunate thing, I want to... argh. I go back to the room and grab one of the two beers I brought from the event from my bag, trying to console myself for having fallen in love with the wrong guy. I can not believe.

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
