Chapter 1 The Beginning Of The CEO

• Donald Evans is a thirty-year-old billionaire entrepreneur. Over the past five years, he has dedicated himself to traveling and exploring the world, with his various business investments, as well as his philanthropic and altruistic activities.
• But this journey, which was about to come to an end, has been interrupted because his older brother, CEO of Evans & Associates Transnational, Robert Evans, has had an accident that has left him hospitalized and in a coma.
• Due to his brother's condition, Donald returned to assume the role of CEO, which had been occupied by his brother for years. Upon arriving at the airport, he was greeted by one of the mansion's chauffeurs, who led him to the clinic where his brother was confined. Once there, he was guided to the ICU.
• "Oh my God! This can't be...!" he thought, lamenting as he observed his brother in the ICU, in such a deplorable state.
• "I'm here, Robert!" he exclaimed, letting his tears run down his cheeks, adding, "You can count on me!"
• Donald approached his brother, kissed him, and began speaking to him in his ear, convinced that he could hear him. After spending a few minutes with him, he left the ICU and headed towards the mansion.
• The next day, he took on the role of CEO in the company, where his two sisters, Jade and Venus, held managerial positions. They have always considered him a rebellious and untamed person who always ends up doing what he wants, not what others recommend or advise him to do.
• At first, it was tough for Donald. He was strongly opposed by his two sisters, with whom he had always been in dispute because they have always tried to manipulate and influence him in his decisions, which they have never succeeded in doing.
• Six months later...
• Donald, leaving the special room he had rented in the clinic for his brother's care, walked worriedly towards the exit. His two older sisters want him to formalize an engagement with Laila Thomas, one of their friends, which he disagrees with. Because of this, he decided to call his friend before getting into his Ferrari:
• "Hello, John! Where are you? I need to talk to you urgently," he requested with some anxiety, looking at the horizon.
• "I'm at the café, at the back of the office, clearing my mind. If you want, you can come over right away. I'll be waiting for you here," John proposed, bringing the cup of coffee to his mouth and inhaling its aroma.
• "I'm on my way," Donald replied, starting his Ferrari and driving at high speed, sometimes exceeding the speed limits. In ten minutes, he arrived at the place indicated by his friend.
• Upon arriving at the parking lot, he could see John's Maserati parked there. He got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the place. With few customers present, he quickly spotted him.
• "Hello!" Donald greeted, approaching and hugging his friend, sitting right in front of him.
• "Hello! Donald, it's good to see you. We hardly ever see each other... you're completely occupied with running the company. How's everything?" John asked.
• "Excellent, my friend! The numbers and statistics prove the resounding success of this, on the same level as Robert maintained. But there's something that's been bothering me for days," Donald commented, bringing both hands to his head.
• "What is it?" his friend asked, with a wide smile.
• "At the last Board of Directors meeting, almost all the shareholders, including my sisters, requested that I formalize an engagement with Laila Thomas."
• "What?!" his friend exclaimed.
• "According to them, that will give them confidence in me, in my stability and commitment. In other words, they doubt me!" he said, clenching his fists and angrily hitting the table.
• "That's absurd, Donald!" his friend questioned. "Since you arrived and took on the role of CEO, you have dedicated yourself wholeheartedly to the company, multiplying everyone's profits. Do they know that you have your own businesses?"
• "They must know!" he replied, running his hands through his brown hair, which made him look even younger than he actually was.
• From a young age, Donald stood out for his incredible physique. He is a very attractive, handsome, tall, muscular, white man with a pair of beautiful brown eyes. In addition, he has an eagle eye for business.
• "This is absurd!!!" John exclaimed, getting angry as he put himself in his friend's shoes. "That position of the Board of Directors is arbitrary! The fact that Robert is married does not guarantee his permanence in the position."
• "Grrr...!" Donald growled, because if there was something that bothered and infuriated him, it was being forced into something, especially having someone choose the woman who will be his life partner. "They are definitely crazy!" he exclaimed, enraged.
• "Calm down!" his friend advised, trying to calm him down, adding, "Go along with them, tell them that you're considering it, but make it clear to them... 'That it's up to you, and when you want, you will choose the woman of your life.'"
• "I've already told them! But I'll take your word for it, I'll play along and we'll see who gets their way," he affirmed, seriously considering this. "Because the last thing I want is to get involved in a formal relationship with someone."
• "I'm extraordinarily fine like this! Without any commitment," he assured, smiling even with his eyes, adding, "Being everyone's and no one's in particular! I enjoy life more that way!"
• "Donald! And speaking of that, what happened to the redhead who accompanied you in the East a few months ago?" his friend asked, giving him a little pat on the shoulder.
• "She wanted a ring, a pet, and exclusivity! And no, that's not for me," he replied, smiling, opening his arms and hands with a gesture of disbelief. "That's not for me! I was born free and I will live that way. That's why I don't see myself in a formal commitment with anyone. Ha, ha, ha!"
• "You are difficult to subdue and tame! But, you'll see! That will be the case, until you meet her, the one woman before whom you will be submissive and obedient, with whom you will want to be attached all the time," John assured, with a smile on his lips.
• "Never!" Donald affirmed confidently.
• "No woman will tie me down for herself!" Donald replied with a loud laugh, making the sign of the cross on his body as protection, unaware that someone was already on their way to tame him.
• "We'll see!" his friend doubted, also smiling.
