Contractual Hearts Chapter 1 Introduction

Hector's POV

My name is Hector Edward and I am 30 years old. I have sandy blond hair that turns a shade of brown in different lightings. Along with this I have blue eyes, a muscular build and stand at 6'1".

Today I finally was able to change offices in Edward Inc. Instead of being stuck on the third floor, I've been upgraded to the 50th. That's where the CEO spends all his time in the office.

My father is the CEO of Edward Inc. now, and soon it will be my turn to take over which is one of the reasons I get to transfer to the top floor. I'll be training with my father to take over the company in the upcoming year.

I have a brother named Jonas who is twenty-six years old and he's a serial bachelor. He associates himself with every kind of woman. It doesn't matter if she's tall, short, thin, fat, black, white or purple; he loves them all.

Speaking of Jonas, he walks into the office with a girl attached to his hip. Jonas smirks at me and points to his girl. "Do you like it?" He mouths.

I give him the thumbs up before he opens the door and walks into Dad's office. I start unpacking my stuff, and put my certificates up on the wall. My favorite is the one I earned from graduating from Harvard with Honors.

My Grandfather and father didn't make it easy for me to get the job at Edward's Inc. They thought it was best that the next CEO studied and graduated at the top of their classes before even getting a job at the company.

I had to start right at the bottom as a mail guy. I had to deliver things to people as well. Things like tea and coffee and photocopying; all the boring jobs.

I sigh and move to my seat. I spin the chair around and stick my hands on the back of my head and look out the window. I can see the entire city from my desk.

Someone behind me clears their throat. "Enjoying the view son?"

I spin the chair around to find my father and grandfather sitting in the chairs opposite my desk. I smile. "Yes," I sit properly in my chair and place my hands on the table. "What can I do for you today?"

The door opens and grandmother walks into the room. She walks to the right of the room and takes a seat on the leather couch.

I didn't do anything.

Grandmother smiles. "We need to talk about you becoming the CEO of Edward Inc."

"Okay,"

Grandfather puts a piece of paper in front of me. "This is your contract for the year before we sign the CEO position to your name. Do look over the list of things you need to do by the end of the year."

Grandmother leans forward on her chair. "Number one is very important on that contract."

I took the paper from my grandfather and began reading.

Name: Hector Edward

CEO PERMANENT POSITION TERMS

1. Needs to give up his bachelor ways and marry someone during the year.

Have they lost their minds? I can't get married within the year.

I skip over the rest of the contract and sign the thing. I give it to them. "I'll find someone to marry within the year, Grandmother. I promise you and you'll love her."

Grandmother nods. "For your sake I hope so."

Grandfather, father, and grandmother rise and exit my office.

I bang my head on the table a couple of times and then...

I know who I'll get to marry me. She'll need to sign A Year Contract to be mine only.

I pull out my phone and look at the picture of the beautiful blonde, blue eyed Goddess I once knew.

Sophie Fredrickson, you will be mine again.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
