Episode 1

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.
