itemprop=\"text\" ><p>\u2018Mr Salazar?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Caio Salazar turned around to see his solicitor putting papers down on the wide oak table with little pointed stickers indicating where to sign. He held out a pen, \u2018These are the final signatures required for your divorce papers.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><em>Divorce<\/em>. Caio Salazar took the pen and sat down. He had never intended to get married. It hadn\u2019t been part of his plans. Not after witnessing his parents\u2019 toxic mess of a marriage. He was lucky. He had older brothers who had borne the burden of inheriting the legendary Salazar de Barros wealth and industry, leaving Caio free to strike out on his own and unshackle himself from the yoke of his family losing <em>de Barros<\/em> en route.<\/p>\n<p>The success of his self \u2013 made business had put paid to any rumours that he wouldn\u2019t survive without his family\u2019s help. He\u2019d not only survived, he\u2019d become one of Brazil\u2019s top net worth individuals, rivalling his own family\u2019s dominance single &#8211; handedly.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving him free to live an independent life, beholden to none. Which he\u2019d made the most of at first \u2013 cultivating quite the reputation as the playboy rebel, cutting a swathe through Brazil\u2019s legendary nightlife and most beautiful women, which had been fun but admittedly had had more to do with irritating his old man than sating his own appetites.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, that life had begun to lose its pall some time ago. Caio had felt increasingly like he was going through the motions, living down to a reputation he\u2019d created that no longer served him, or amused him.<\/p>\n<p>So when his forays into Europe and North America had started falling flat among rumours that his reputation was too volatile, Caio realised he was in danger of ruining everything he\u2019d built up. And there were plenty of people waiting to see him take a very public fall from grace.<\/p>\n<p>He wouldn\u2019t give them the satisfaction and he wasn\u2019t that self \u2013 destructive. And so he\u2019d considered the unthinkable \u2013 the fastest route to turning his reputation around &#8211; a solid marriage to a suitable woman.<\/p>\n<p>And so, almost a year ago to the day, he\u2019d married a daughter from one of Rio de Janeiro\u2019s most prominent families, taking everyone by surprise. The marriage had been a serendipitous by \u2013 product of a deal with Rodolfo Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>The media mogul had a daughter he\u2019d wanted to see married and Caio had need of a wife. The fact that she came from a suitable background and a similar lineage to Caio was a bonus. It would make the marriage look even more authentic.<\/p>\n<p>However Caio had only agreed to think about the union once he\u2019d met with Ana Diaz. Their first meeting hadn\u2019t been auspicious. An unfashionably long veil of dark hair obscured her features and loose clothes had drowned any view of her body. Of average height, she hadn\u2019t made much of an impression.<\/p>\n<p>But then her father had taken her chin in his fingers and tipped her face up, and her hair had fallen back to reveal a pretty heart \u2013 shaped face, pale, with dark arching brows.<\/p>\n<p>Her soft mouth was set in a mutinous line. Her dark brown eyes had flashed with defiance as her father spoke to Caio, and she\u2019d pulled away from her father and said angrily, \u2018I\u2019m not a chattal to be passed around between men.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In that moment bristling with tension between father and daughter Caio had recognised that there was a very real danger that she would provoke her father to violence. He\u2019d smelled it like a metallic tang in the air. He knew because he\u2019d smelled it before.<\/p>\n<p>It had impacted him right in his gut, even though she was a complete stranger.<\/p>\n<p>Before he\u2019d had time to analyse his reaction, he\u2019d decided that he would marry her. He\u2019d asked her father to leave them alone to discuss it and she\u2019d turned that barely concealed fury on him.<\/p>\n<p>To Caio\u2019s surprise, even though the woman before him was as non \u2013 descript as a student, something had pulsed to life in his blood and he\u2019d told himself it was just confirmation that he was making the right decision to save his reputation and move his business forward.<\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t have contemplated a marriage of convenience with one of his lovers. That spelled disaster and drama.<\/p>\n<p>No, marrying a total stranger albeit from the right family and background was perfect. When they divorced she would be a very rich woman. No harm, no foul. He\u2019d assured himself that it had had nothing to do with the protective instinct aroused within him when he\u2019d sensed the violence in the air from her father. Or, the disturbing physical reaction that he\u2019d dismissed as an aberration as soon as it happened.<\/p>\n<p>And so, just over a year ago, the wedding had been discreet and conducted with little fanfare. It had caused a flurry of interest at first but that had died down quickly. After all, strategic marriages between the families of Brazil\u2019s wealthiest families happened all the time.<\/p>\n<p>And now today, the divorce was an equally understated affair.<\/p>\n<p>In many regards the marriage had been a complete success. Ana had travelled the world with him as he\u2019d taken his company global, opening offices in New York, London and Bangkok.<\/p>\n<p>With a wife by his side he\u2019d been accepted among the business community and society without question because he wasn\u2019t a playboy threatening to leave a storm of headlines in his wake as he bedded his way through Europe and North America.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, much to Caio\u2019s surprise, he\u2019d found that he\u2019d been singularly <em>un<\/em>enticed by any of the women who had made it very clear that they were available. He\u2019d discovered that having a wife had been no deterrent in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>Caio looked across the room at the back of the woman who stood in front of one of the floor to ceiling windows that showcased a jaw \u2013 dropping view of the financial district of Rio de Janeiro, early morning sunlight making the tall buildings sparkle and shine.<\/p>\n<p>His wife no longer had unfashionably long hair. Now it was cut much shorter into a bob that brushed her shoulders and framed her face. A face that he hadn\u2019t fully appreciated when they\u2019d first met. A face that had revealed its beauty in such a way as to mock Caio daily for having first assumed she was average.<\/p>\n<p>She wore a little make \u2013 up now, expertly applied, highlighting dark, long \u2013 lashed brown eyes, framed by naturally arching brows. Flawless light olive skin. Her nose had a slightly patrician bump. But it was her mouth that he\u2019d grown more and more fixated by; soft and naturally pouting. Sometimes giving her an air of intense vulnerability and more recently and disturbingly, an air of something much closer to sultry, almost provocative.<\/p>\n<p>The shapeless clothes she\u2019d favoured when they\u2019d first met were long gone. Today she wore a designer slim \u2013 fitting black trouser suit paired with a grey silk shirt and black high \u2013 heels, drawing attention to her slender ankles. Discreet jewellery. Even in heels, she was still a full head shorter than him.<\/p>\n<p>A low cough alerted him to the fact that his solicitor was waiting for him to sign the papers. <em>What the hell was wrong with him? <\/em>This marriage was always destined to end today and Caio had achieved exactly what he\u2019d set out to achieve a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Ignoring the knot of resistance in his gut, Caio signed the papers and handed the pen back to his solicitor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-37vvhy-b72d15cd95da914721275c27e493a291\">\n.flex_column.av-37vvhy-b72d15cd95da914721275c27e493a291{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-37vvhy-b72d15cd95da914721275c27e493a291 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":3242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[21],"portfolio_entries":[23],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
