Chapter 1 I'm really

grades. Work during the day and be able to move up to bigger positions, with better salaries. I spent every year of my course studying and working. I didn't even have time for parties, the only thing that made me take away my focus were women. Even if none of them could even keep my attention for more than one encounter, even if they were nothing more than a means to an end. And if I was proud of being able to support myself and even manage to save some money, when I started earning big, things finally started to happen. Stock market, that would be my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Literally. I studied everything I could, I took courses and more courses. Everything was secret, no one needed to know what I wanted for the rest of my life. I started investing what used to go to savings, in stable shares, monitored by me for a long period. Always increasing my portfolio. I always have a lot of income from my investments. My capital increased significantly and I reinvested everything. Until I felt ready. I finished college and realized that I could stay out of work with the capital I had already acquired. And if it didn't work out, I could be employed again. But I had confidence in myself. I thanked Antônio and only told him my real intentions. He said that maybe I was being reckless, for exchanging the right for the doubtful, but I would take the risk. Because I knew my potential. I knew it would work. And then I started day trading. Then I started to see things happen. My capital increased visibly. In a short time I had more money than I ever expected. But I always wanted more. Of course I didn't achieve it without effort, of course I also incurred losses along the way. Nothing significant, nothing that wasn't covered by the profits obtained through my effort, dedication and study on the stock market. Of course, this risk, this game, so to speak, is not for everyone, especially to be done by those who are not qualified, who have not studied this universe for years on end like me. And that's when I realized that, even with income greater than I ever expected, I could obtain much more. I could do this with other people's money and earn from my contractor's income. And from then on, Martins Investimentos emerged. My first clients were former course mates, who knew my capabilities and who saw my effort to be the best. And with the profit evident, the company was promoted by word of mouth and many customers emerged. Always having a profit for everyone as the final product and the company's name gaining more and more visibility. And my individual investments yielded more and more and with that the company's structure began to undergo changes. Chic building, lots of employees led by Midas from the Stock Exchange, which is what they started calling me. Filling my ego, making me always want to get more clients. To have among them the richest and trendiest. Millionaires, famous. The cream of Rio society, and why not say, national. I was concerned about ensuring the greatest profits, about increasingly increasing the wealth of those who one day thought they might have nowhere to go. Having the street as an option. But effort, study and willpower made me go far. In addition. They made me an investor, a businessman. They made me a legend, a reference. Synonymous with reliable, successful investments. Who lives in a penthouse, among Rio's elite. Among people with surnames with centuries of history. And there I am, an orphan. That I don't even have a relative, maybe a family. But it doesn't hurt me, not anymore. And it doesn't seem important to know where I came from, my full account prevents interrogations. What matters is that I keep winning, getting rich. And today I am the one giving the lectures. I am a reference in economics in this country. Well, I'm Lucius Martins. I am the youngest billionaire in Brazil. CHAPTER 02 Seeing Lucius Martins' photographs won't help me at all. It won't help me take it away from me. One look was enough to make all the butterflies flutter in my belly. Butterflies that have always been dormant. And it started with an enchantment for his physical appearance. Dark skinned. Beautiful. With a body that would make any gym rat jealous. Greenish eyes, stubble and a smile so beautiful that it could drive even a nun to perdition. Imagine me. Just 19 years old, inexperienced and always having too many social conventions to follow. The shot was accurate, from the day I saw him at the first social event he attended. Having a lot of money is the condition for being invited to participate in such events and having your beauty is what guarantees a legion of women in your bed. Yes, Lucius is a Greek god of lust. A depraved man, who doesn't hide what he's doing behind closed doors. Social networks are always eager for news about him. Its beauty and power guarantee that everything that surrounds it becomes news. And like a fool I feed on everything that comes out about him. I envy those who have the chance to be by your side, even if, apparently, it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance. At the same time that I envy them, I'm jealous of knowing that they're in a place I'll never be. By your side. In your arms. On your bed. I'm a fool. Certainly the most unsuitable person to have this kind of illusion. Certainly the last one to be worthy of a second look from him. A virgin who lives trapped in a gilded cage, who divides her time between college and romance books. Faculty of Arts to the despair of my father, who knows that I will never hold a position within the family bank. He knows that I will never get involved in Banco Lacerda's affairs, as I will never exchange my books for numbers. Even though they make me dreamy, romantic and are always stealing any and all time I have available. Even if they distract me to the point where I don't even see the fun in parties and nights out. Even though real-life men always seem awkward next to the good guys that the books portray. The exception is him. It's Lucius Martins. Which has in its appearance the perfect description of my literary crushes. After his first appearance, his image has been functioning as an avatar to bring fiction even closer to reality. Oh, I'm really screwed! Daydreaming about a man who won't even give me a second glance, idealizing castles and princes while he gets involved in all kinds of scandals. Nudity, orgies, drinks and women. In real life he is far from being a good guy, far from what a woman dreams of a prince. Maybe that's why I've been reading more and more. With each passing day I fantasize even more. - I'm so happy to see you excited to participate in this charity event! My mother says. Maybe the joy in knowing that I would probably be in the same environment as him was too much. Perhaps I showed more animation than is recommended among my people. Silence may be my only weapon right now. - Who knows, maybe you get invo

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
