Contractual Hearts

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.
