The meeting room was in chaos, the discussions were loud and filled with fury. Once again, Cain and Sofia had gotten into another argument, as usual.

Cain Meyer is the powerful CEO of Meyer-Metal Corp., Sofia Montreal is the CFO. At 25, she has gotten there not only because of her last name, but because she is very intelligent and is the only one who puts limits on the CEO's exacerbated and overwhelming way of investing. Although he always comes out on top, Sofia makes sure that the resources are not at extreme risk.

"Director Sofia will prepare a report for the next meeting, and if it doesn't convince me, we will proceed with the purchase of those mines, that's all, you may leave except for Miss Montreal," said Cain with the coldness of the South Pole, while Sofia swallows hard, knowing that he is going to reprimand her for contradicting him.

When everyone left, Cain looked at the beautiful but stubborn young woman in front of him.

"Sofia, you don't have to be against me all the time, it's not healthy," he said lazily.

"It's not personal, Mr. Meyer, I'm just looking after the interests of the company and I had already talked to you about this. We can lose millions if we don't check the quality of the ore from that mine, it could be a fiasco, the sellers have a bad reputation," she said calmly, but she is annoyed deep down, he always doubts her professional judgment.

"Good, I look forward to your report," said the man as Sofia stands up and leaves, even though she knows that he doesn't consider her, she is going to do all that work.

As she is about to open the door, a large hand pushes the wood shut. Sofia was startled and turned to realize that she was being cornered.

Cain brought his lips dangerously close to hers.

"Sofia, I'm going home today, get everything ready, we'll have dinner together, we need to talk," said the handsome man as he took Sofia's delicate chin with his long, strong fingers.

"Okay, I'll expect you," she said trying not to look at him, she has an idea of what he wants to talk about, she already knows.

Sofia and Cain got married 3 years ago, although she is his wife, no one knows. A week ago, Cain's grandfather, Caleb Meyer, died. The old man forced Cain to marry the beautiful Sofia. The reason was that Sofia was in a bad situation, and Caleb was like a father to Sofia's mother, so he helped the young woman with this, in addition to getting certain harpies out of the way of his beloved grandson.

However, the night before, Sofia learned of the return of Amaranta, Cain's eternal girlfriend, who had left for these three years for fear of Caleb. The old man had threatened to kill her if she messed with his married grandson. Now that the danger was gone, the woman returned for her man. The first person she called was Sofia, even before Cain.

"Hello Sofia, this is Amaranta, I'm in town, Cain and I should be happy, get out of the way right now, grandpa can't protect you anymore, so I just hope you do the right thing or I'll have to be cruel," said Amaranta calmly. Atena, Cain's mother, is her dearest ally.

Atena hates Sofia viscerally, and it is because of Sofia's mother, Juliana. Sofia's mother and Neymar, Cain's father, were great friends, it was almost a sibling-like love, they had never crossed the line, but Atena was convinced that they were lovers, that her husband was madly in love with Juliana. It was all just in her imagination and her sick jealousy.

Sofia was the spitting image of her mother, this was a slap in the face for Atena, and even more so Neymar's affection for that young woman. Jealousy gnawed at her day after day just thinking that her husband sees his dead lover in his son's wife.

*_*

This is how Sofia only looked to the side, she knows that he is going to ask her for a divorce, Cain must be desperate to be with his love, even though she had fallen in love with that cruel and unfeeling man, she knew this would happen, she was nothing to Cain Meyer.

"Sir, may I leave?" Sofia said, groping for the doorknob that is somewhere behind her.

"Of course, Director Montreal," he said, and then gave her a sensual and soft kiss on the lips, making her blush.

Sofia found what she was looking for and ran out of there like a lightning bolt, blushing and annoyed, he was shameless, he should be with his love and not giving her kisses in the office. No one knows that she is his wife, although she is also worried about this, it was the grandfather who had put her in that place, now that Caleb Meyer is gone, she knows that Atena and Amaranta will want to get her out of there no matter what.

Resigned to what was coming, Sofia went to her office, she has no choice but to await the conclusion of this mess.

While Sofia was working on her report, Maya Meyer entered like a cuddly kitten.

"Dear sister-in-law, tell me you've missed me, how can you not call me, you're the most inconsiderate sister I've ever seen," she said, pouting. They are both roughly the same age; Maya, Cain's younger sister, is the head of human resources at the company.

"Maya, stop being dramatic, that's why the boys don't take you seriously, you're too toxic," Sofia said, laughing as Maya's pout deepened.

"Sofi, did you know that stupid Amaranta is back? Yesterday I went to the equestrian club and there she was clinging to my mother as if she were the beloved daughter-in-law of my family, I want to throw up," Maya said indignantly.

"Of course I know, she called me personally, your brother wants to talk to me tonight, we know what he must want, now that Papa Caleb is gone he must want to run into the arms of his great love," Sofia said indifferently as Maya gets angrier.

"I don't know what's wrong with my mother, she's a complete stranger to me, that obsession she has against you is very strange," Maya said as Sofia just shakes her head.

Sofia grabbed her bag while smiling at her friend.

"Come on Maya, I'll drop you off at home, then I have to go prepare dinner, your brother says he's coming to dinner, I don't want to have him in my house for long, I hope he gives me the agreement and that's it," Sofia said as she walked to the door.

Maya just sighed, she really would have liked her brother to have fallen in love with Sofia, not only is she beautiful but she is an excellent person, very educated and intelligent, nothing like Amaranta, who is frivolous, two-faced and only looks out for her personal interests.

Sofia had arrived a bit late due to traffic, plus she stopped to buy a few things, the only thing she acknowledged about Cain was that he was not a stingy husband, he had given her unlimited credit cards and she lacked for nothing, even so, these three years had been so empty that she herself doesn't know how she has endured so long being a hidden wife.

While Sofia finished cooking, Cain had arrived and took off his jacket, shoes, opened his shirt to the third button, rolled up his sleeves and smelled the delicious aroma of the food, Sofia cooked very well, he went to the kitchen and looked at her with an indecipherable glint in his eyes, her pretty figure moved diligently from one side to the other, she was beautiful and so sweet.

Sofia turned around suddenly to run into the handsome Cain staring at her fixedly without moving, he didn't take his eyes off her and scrutinizes her shamelessly.

Sofia was startled at first and then annoyed.

"What are you doing there? Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" she said annoyed as Cain smiled amused.

"I don't know about your face, but you have a beautiful behind," he said without any shame as Sofia blushed, that's how he talked to her all the time.

"Go…, go wash your hands, dinner is ready," she said nervously, when he's in that mood she doesn't know how to deal with him.

Cain went to the bathroom while Sofia served the food, they both sat down to eat in total silence, Sofia hoped he would say something about the matter, but it seemed that Cain had no intention of saying anything, he was relaxed as if nothing had happened.

"Cain, did you have something to tell me?" Sofia said, looking at him expectantly, she doesn't understand what he wants.

"Oh, that, we'll talk about it tomorrow, now is not the time, I'll tell you when we have breakfast," he said shamelessly as poor Sofia was paralyzed.

Does he plan to stay the night? Does he want to spend the night with me? she thought totally confused, she doesn't understand the situation, he should be desperate to get a divorce.

Sofia recovered from her shock and cleared her throat a little, he had taken her by surprise.

"Cain, you didn't tell me you wanted to stay the night, I don't have the guest room ready," she said a little flushed.

"When have I ever stayed in the guest room?" he said looking at her solemnly as Sofia swallows hard, now the picture is clear, Cain is going to eat her whole, and it's not the first time, this has been happening since the wedding night, since the first night as husband and wife.

Three years ago on their wedding night, Cain and Sofia arrived at the marital home that Caleb had provided for them, it was beautiful, but Sofia never thought something like this would happen, the marriage contract indicated that the couple would only have a contractual agreement until Sofia Montreal could receive her co-participation of the Montreal company that is under the custody of Cain Meyer, that transaction would last three years since the project that would give those profits had that execution time.

However, Sofia said goodbye politely to Cain and went to a room where her things should be, and so it was, the room was beautiful.

Sofia took off the uncomfortable wedding dress and took a relaxing bath, those days had been terribly stressful for her, Atena and her unpleasant comments, Amaranta's scandals on the subject, Cain's indifference to all this, grandfather Caleb doing things as he pleases.

When she came out, she was wearing a very delicate light cotton set, it was a sundress and slightly revealing shorts, she looked beautiful, when she was about to sleep, she heard the knocks on the door and assumed it was Cain, they are not strangers, they have known each other for a long time, only Cain's reserved character kept her away a bit.

Sofia opened the door very confidently and that's when Cain entered giving the door a gentle push, Sofia just stepped aside because of the speed of the movement, and saw Cain's tall and muscular body enter wearing only his pajama pants, it was a hot night, he was showing his formidable physical condition.

* Your room is nice, it seems you have settled in well _ he said indifferently while looking around.

Sofia ran to hide her bra and panties that she had left on the bed to put them in the dirty clothes, only she didn't know where that was yet.

* Cain, is there something you need? _ she said looking at him a little embarrassed, she doesn't understand what he wants so late.

* Oh, I've come for my wedding night, I got married a few hours ago and I want my corresponding wedding night _ he said looking at her calmly, for him it is the most natural thing, instead Sofia opens and closes her mouth without understanding anything.

* Cain, that's not in the contract, this is not a real marriage... What are you doing? _ she said nervously when she saw him approaching her with a dark look but he didn't look upset or anything like that.

* Sofia, you are beautiful and we are husband and wife, how could I not claim my rightful right for you to be mine tonight? _ he said in a grave and low tone as he grabbed her wrist pulling her to him to wrap her in his arms.

Sofia looks at him like a dazzled deer, does he want to be intimate with me? The beautiful girl just blinks until she felt Cain's big, hot hand on the back of her neck and then be kissed brazenly.

Cain reveled in her mouth while Sofia tried to keep up, but she had been a little apathetic with guys so she didn't have much experience.

* Cain, I... I don't..., _ she said between kisses while the man grabbed her buttocks massaging them and directed her to the bed taking advantage of the chaos.

* I know, I'm going to be gentle, I'm not going to hurt you, just let me make you enjoy yourself for a while _ said Cain as he reveled in her slender and soft neck.

Cain was taking off Sofia's clothes while she grumbled but did not stop him, Sofia knew that this was only a payment that Cain demanded for helping her against her will, she just hoped he wouldn't be rough, that he wouldn't hurt her, and so it was, Cain treated her with great care, he was gentle with her on her first time, he almost seemed like another man at that moment, but when morning came, Cain had left, from then on the situation was the same, Cain and she were mortal enemies in the company but in the matrimonial home, Cain went once or twice a week, sometimes just to have dinner and talk about company issues, others he just wanted to give Sofia a mega tumble and he gave it to her, although they always took care of themselves Sofia did not understand what that man wanted, Cain had no scandals with other women, nobody knew he was married, even so Cain did not go out with women or was seen in compromising situations.

Currently.

On that occasion it was no exception, Cain took Sofia to her bedroom, he had never used his room in that house, he only went in there to change when he stayed until the next day.

Sofia woke up as usual, alone, he always left before she woke up, she felt like she had been run over by a truck literally, that man had been more lustful than usual.

She wanted to sit up and a sharp pain in her lower abdomen made her give up on her first attempt.

* Ay..., it hurts _ she whispered in the silent room, she tried again more carefully and it didn't hurt so much anymore, but there was a hint of pain in the area.

It's Saturday and she's not going to the office and she changes her clothes quietly to go down and prepare breakfast for her and Nana Lola, the woman had taken care of her since her marriage had begun, but she didn't sleep in the mansion, she arrived early and left at night.

Sofia went down to the dining room to run into a scene worthy of a Turkish soap opera, at the table were Cain with Amaranta having breakfast, it seemed that that woman was not wasting time and was willing to wake up early so as not to let go of her prey.
