An agreement between heirs Chapter 19 – Discovering Together
By CatherineI finally went back to work after a few days at home recovering from the flu. The last few days my relationship with Hector had been strange, not a bad strange, but different. The man I had exchanged a kiss with in days past was completely different to the one I knew before I got married. We didn’t get to talk about the kiss, but Hector was getting closer every day leaving me internally confused.I heard knocking on my office door and soon my assistant’s face appeared asking permission to enter.“Mistress Catherine, I know this is very bold of me, but could you excuse me from work this afternoon?” Her expression was shy and sad. “It’s just that my mother is in hospital and she has no one to stay as her escort, she only has me.”“Of course she does, Julia.” I would never say no to a case like that. “You shouldn’t even have come today. What’s wrong with her?”“I didn’t want to miss it because I just started at the job. I can’t afford to lose this job.” She spoke shyly. “My
Last Updated : 2023-03-30An agreement between heirs Chapter 1 - The deal
By Catherine De Castro"YOU CAN ONLY BE GOING CRAZY!"I could hardly believe what my ears had heard. When I was informed that we would have an emergency meeting, I expected something very serious to be happening, but I could never imagine that insanity had taken over my father’s head.I looked to my mother for help, but all I found was a connivance that drove me crazy. In turn, my father, continued to look seriously at me while the others present, all of the Marques family, seemed distressed, except for one person, Heitor Marques. The firstborn heir to a world-renowned architectural and urbanism firm seemed as desperate as I did."Daughter, please calm down! Listen to what we have to say so you can reason."I started walking back and forth not being able to believe that that nightmare was really happening. Nervousness took over my entire body and I felt like I was about to lose consciousness at any moment. The only thing my senses repeated without stopping was the phrase said by my fa

By Hector Marques"It seems that those who are moving the business world are the young heirs Hector Marques and Catherine Castro. After the news that the companies of the Castro and Marques families, would be unifying their business interests starting a new era to become one company sharing the same goals, now the news is bombastic. Hector and Catherine would be together dividing the command of the company, thus assuming the presidency and vice presidency respectively. That’s right, the administration of one of the largest business empires in the country is giving something to talk about this last week. However, the rumors that have shaken the structures and caught us all off guard, go far beyond business interests. According to our sources, the heirs Hector and Catherine were living a romance. We don’t know if the rumors are true, but they cause us at least strangeness if we take into account that until two weeks ago Hector Marques printed the main headlines where at the time the you
Last Updated : 2023-02-27An agreement between heirs Chapter 3 - A warning
By Catherine De CastroI had to admit that at least that night, Hector was showing himself different from the vain and spoiled man who used to print the main gossip notes of the country’s media. I wondered what was making him act so kind to me, although, of course, it was apparent that it seemed like a hobby for him to piss me off. In fact, I knew that Hector had agreed to participate in this whole situation exclusively for money. It wasn’t part of his profile to care about anything other than that, but still I couldn’t deny that he was striving to make it work, even if our reality was far from looking like a happy and passionate couple.As we drove to that unusual encounter, the silence in the car was fairly uncomfortable. Hector had put on a nice song to play and as we had no unusual subject, he just occasionally made some random comment about what we were listening to. The weather was strange, but it was also light, which made me realize that being with the heir of the Marques fami

By Hector Marquesdays later"It seems the romance between Heitor Marques and Catherine Castro, is not only true as it goes very well. The two have been seen constantly enjoying each other’s company, and as you can see in the photo below, Hector is apparently able to surprise us even more, because unlike what we were used to see, he acts like a true gentleman with the beloved, showing to be completely different from the man of months ago. They say that love transforms, in the case of the two heirs is the following question: Is it love that transforms or money? Would this really be a love of fairy tales, or behind this relationship has a big move involving the society that today unites the companies of the two families? We will see! In the more, we only wish happiness to the couple."By: AnonymousAfter I took Catherine to dinner, until we got closer to each other. Let us say that we could consider that although our confrontations were constant, our coexistence was slightly tolerable.

By Hector MarquesA few months laterI could hardly believe that in a few hours my ”forced” marriage to Catherine would happen. Gradually it seems that the record was falling and my heart pressed to realize that in a few hours Hector Marques would become a married man. Many men in my place would probably be anxious and happy with the moment, but it turns out that I was far from feeling this way. I was a man completely free for the opportunities that life brought me and would soon be trapped in something that did not seem to suit me. That was scary! I was definitely far from a happy man.The wedding would be held in an impromptu party hall on the outside of my house, and from my room I could hear the screams of my mother who had really freaked out about this wedding story and almost drove me crazy too. She wanted the decor impeccable, as well as all the buffet service.I heard knocks on the bedroom door and authorized the entrance without caring who would be there, but I was surprised
Last Updated : 2023-03-09An agreement between heirs Chapter 6 - Sensations
By Hector Marques The party was going on and everyone seemed to have fun while Catherine and I were going through a real photo section. My mouth was already numb from smiling. It was our parents' idea to open the coverage of the wedding to some representatives of the main local newspapers, according to them that event would mark the new era of our families that was now one. I looked at Catherine and it was notorious her annoyance before the many flashes in her eyes, but unlike me, she seemed too polite to refuse to pose for the cameras always with a smile on her lips. "Aren’t you tired of these pictures?" I passed my arms around her waist hugging her fondly as more flashes hit us hard. Photographers seemed to yearn to find our best angle and capture the best image. "You have no idea how much." She ran her arms around my neck just so they would believe that we were a happy couple with that moment. "They’re boring, and my eyes are already burning." "Great, so it’s time to say good

By Catherine De CastroAfter a while enjoying the company of my cousin and my great friend, I asked permission to go to the bathroom to see how my makeup was. I entered Hector’s family home and went to his room. All I wanted was to have a few minutes alone to recover from the whirlwind of emotions I was feeling from the moment I said yes on that altar.I walked around the room and looked around... I had never been there before, I even imagined that Hector’s room had some kind of macabre decor, but in fact it was quite the opposite. His room did not have that dark style that he used to like to show in his black clothes. He had a lot of books, CDs, a guitar, and pictures scattered everywhere. I was not surprised to see that in most of them the image of Kaique and Stella were always next to my husband. But I could not help but be bothered by the constant presence of Stella around her, because something bothered me in that look of the red-haired woman who seemed not to like me, although s

An agreement between heirs Chapter 18 – Accepting happiness
By HectorI kissed Catherine and that had been the best kiss of my life! That was the thought that kept running through my mind after what had happened the night before. Catherine’s kiss was so good, her touch had hallucinated me, her mouth left me with the feeling of wanting more, and I would have easily lost myself in her body if something hadn’t screamed in my head reminding me that she wasn’t just anyone.I went downstairs ready to go to work when I bumped into Catherine and Joana in the kitchen. She was still in her pyjamas which made me immediately worried. Could it be that she hadn’t gotten any better?“Good morning!” I spoke to the two and without much thought I greeted Catherine with a kiss on her cheek.“Good morning!” The reply came in chorus.“Aren’t you going to work today? Still not feeling well? Want me to fetch something for you?”“Easy, Hector.” She spoke softly. “It’s all right, I’m not going to work because I still have quite a cold, it wouldn’t be interesting to st
An agreement between heirs Chapter 17 – Sweet Taste
By CatherineWhen I saw Hector abandoning na important meeting with the company board so he could take care of me, I couldn’t be indifferent to it. Even if I had a heart of stone at that moment I couldn’t act coldly towards that man. He was being caring and loving, and I couldn’t deny to myself how happy I felt to be his priority at that moment.It wasn’t long before he returned from the shower and appeared in my room dressed in completely light and casual clothes. He smiled and I reciprocated, still admiring his muscular body. Who could resist a man like that?Hector sat next to me on the bed looking uncertain whether or not he would approach me.“Have you chosen the movie yet?” He asked.“Yes, I want to watch Love Doesn’t Take a Holiday.”He looked at me accusingly and grimaced as if I was about to commit a crime.“Romance?” He questioned.“What’s wrong with it? I think it’s cute.”“Okay then, right? Let’s go with romance.”I watched him as he clumsily adjusted the cushions on his b
An agreement between heirs Chapter 16 – Special Care
By HectorIt was 11 a.m. and I was still stuck in the middle of a meeting attended by my father, my father-in-law and some shareholders. In other times at that hour I would still be sleeping completely taken by the hangover result of a night of alcohol and sex. Catherine had stayed at home, as she had felt unwell in the morning, so it was up to me to pass on the information about the balance sheet of the month to everyone present.Luckily or unluckily, my mobile phone rang and my home phone number appeared. I immediately found it strange and without thinking twice I asked permission to answer the call, even under my father’s disapproving glance.“Hi Joanna, did something happen?”“Sorry to bother you Mr Hector. It’s just that Ms Catherine is in bed feeling really bad, I don’t know what else to do.” It was enough for Joana to say that for my chest to tighten. “The poor thing is burning up with fever, but she’s too stubborn, she hasn’t taken any medicine and she can’t eat anything eithe
An agreement between heirs Chapter 15 – Doing the right thing
By HectorAfter I almost kissed Catherine that day, I talked to Kaique about it. Of course it wasn’t surprising that it happened, after all she was very beautiful. It was to be expected that at some point I would end up feeling attracted to my wife. The problem was that I didn’t count on this attraction arising along with feelings that were leaving me confused. It was almost as if I had a need to care for and protect Catherine like I had never done with another woman before.If before I was already frightened by the sensations I felt every time I saw my wife, after my friend said that he thought I was falling in love with Catherine, I found myself lost and confused by my own feelings.I decided then to follow Kaique’s advice, and despite the difficulty I found to approach Catherine after the misunderstanding of that day, whenever possible I did it. Kaique had told me that to discover what I really felt for my wife it would be necessary to allow me to be near her, to be more present in
An agreement between heirs Chapter 14 – Almost Kiss
By CatherineWhen I saw Hector standing in the doorway of Patrick’s flat my only urge was to choke him. I felt anger and was very hurt that he had allowed things to get to that point. However, what bothered me the most was the internal confusion I felt. As strange as it was, I confess that the title of betrayed woman was what mattered least to me at that moment. I know that Hector didn’t believe that he owed me fidelity, after all for him our marriage was nothing more than na obligation imposed by our parents, but imagining him touching another woman bothered me more than I expected, more than I desired and it was making me go into na outburst.I didn’t want to hear Hector’s explanations, but when he started talking and I looked into his eyes I felt the sincerity in everything he said and it was inevitable at that moment not to feel the happiness that invaded me and calmed my heart, which put me on alert, I couldn’t let myself get involved like that.Hector, the idiot, decided to stay
An agreement between heirs Chapter 13 – Putting things right
By HectorUntil that moment I still didn’t have much approach with my wife’s cousin, but in few minutes beside her it was already possible to notice that she was super high mood, a little crazy I confess, but I liked her way a little bit. We arrived at the place and a chill in my stomach hit me, na anxiety to see the woman I was married to made me practically resort to the stairs, waiting for the lift was too much time wasted.“You’re nervous.” Daiana stated as she looked at me. “I never thought I would see you like this.”“Like this?” I asked not understanding what she meant by that.“Yeah, like this all excited to see my cousin.”She didn’t ask, Daiana was simply stating what I was trying to hide, it made me uncomfortable. The fact that I was being too transparent was new to me, who always knew how to hide my emotions very well.“I just want to resolve this situation. Your cousin is difficult and must be wanting to kill me right now.”We finally entered the lift.“Of that I have no
An agreement between heirs Chapter 12 - Deception
By Catherine This time Hector had pushed all the boundaries. After months that I had been closing my eyes to the slips that he gave, I could not believe that he had come to this point. I looked indignantly at the article I read on the tablet. A mixture of anger with disappointment invaded my chest, after all I expected him to respect the commitment he agreed to have with me."Apparently people don’t change so easily. The news of the day is that a few months after their marriage, Hector Marques was seen entering an unknown condominium the night before. And then you ask, What’s wrong with that? According to the information gathered, Hector was seen entering the place, but the same did not leave, that is, the newlywed spent the night outside the house, which is very strange since he has a woman waiting for him. The question is, what does your wife think about that? Always demure the poor lady Catherine De Castro Marques, is exposed for the first time in a bombastic news involving her f
An agreement between heirs Chapter 11 - Wedding Days (Part 2)
By Hector Marques weeks laterContrary to what I imagined, the days were passing quickly and gradually Catherine and I were adapting to our new reality. Although our differences were glaring, we had not yet come into conflict for anything, and as much as it was clear the dissatisfaction of the other when I left the night to meet Stella in her apartment, Catherine said nothing. She didn’t even ask where I was going or what time I was coming home, just kept quiet. Part of me was upset by the awkward situation, but I didn’t want to live for work and home, so I thought it was fair to go out and have fun with friends.However I could not deny that every day I was a little more enchanted by the sweet way of the woman who shared that house with me. Gradually I knew a little more of Catherine and it was not as if it was possible to be indifferent. She was a very attentive companion, always showing concern if I had fed or needed something before we slept.Catherine always did everything possi
