Love and Seduction 22
Ricardo's ex-fiancéeI knew he would accept it, with a little push from Daddy, it was unlikely he wouldn't accept. Either he gets married or Daddy goes to jail. My father had this ace up his sleeve all along and never revealed anything to anyone. He just played the wild card at the right time.Of course, he'll do anything for me, all I have to do is shed a few tears. He always falls for that, can't stand seeing me cry. The only thing I'm not satisfied with is that I have to get married just at the courthouse, without a party. Daddy said it would be better in case things get out of control, so it will be a simple ceremony, something I detest.I like expensive things, big parties, and precisely my wedding has to be a simple ceremony. I'm very disappointed about it. Something tells me there's something behind all this simplicity from my father. He's not the type of person to spare efforts to throw a grand party with the cream of São Paulo's society. That's why I believe Daddy is hiding s

Mother of the ex-fiancée:I can't understand what's going on in this house. My pregnant daughter is always in her own world with the wedding approaching, and my husband is acting nervous in every corner. I've tried talking to him, but he doesn't tell me anything. He and my daughter had a lot of conversations about this wedding because Ricardo didn't want to get married, and suddenly he changed his mind after my husband spoke to him.Something happened in that conversation because no one changes their mind just like that. I asked my daughter, but she didn't want to tell me anything. I can see that they're excluding me, but I know there's something strange going on in this story, and I will find out.I hope it's nothing wrong that these two are involved in because I care so much about my daughter, and I couldn't bear to see her falling apart out of nowhere. I've always fought to keep my family together. I devoted myself entirely to raising my daughter and taking care of my husband. I ne

Mel,My days have been so peaceful. Ricardo has been keeping me informed about everything that's happening over there. I don't know how it's going to be because he hasn't informed the bride's family yet that there won't be a wedding. After being blackmailed, I wouldn't say anything either. It would be an unpleasant surprise for them.This week, he's taking her to a consultation with the obstetrician. He wants to be well-informed about everything related to the baby. I admire him for not shying away from his responsibilities. That's what a man should do. But being forced into marriage is too much. However, I still believe there's more to it than just a simple wedding. I don't think it's solely for the honor of the bride. These threats are very strange.Maybe my father knows him, but if I ask anything, he'll become suspicious of my interest and want to know why I'm interested in this person. Then I'd have to explain everything. But I don't want to say anything yet, especially because we

Ricardo,Today is the day I'm going to the doctor with my ex-girlfriend to find out if everything is fine with the pregnancy. She assured me that she won't leave me out and that I'll be present in every moment, examination, and appointment. I won't give up on participating in any part of this pregnancy. Maybe she'll freak out when she finds out that there won't be a wedding and tries to keep me away from my child, but I won't allow that under any circumstances. I won't give up on my child.I arrived punctually at the doctor's office, and she hadn't arrived yet. I sat down and waited until she finally showed up. She was dressed nicely as always. Even though I don't love her, I still find her beautiful. She's a stunning woman who turns heads, and she looks gorgeous even while pregnant. She approached, and I stood up to greet her. She tried to kiss me as if nothing had changed between us, but I turned my face, and her kiss landed on my cheek.She stepped back with a slightly awkward smil

Melissa's Mother -Sometimes I worry a lot about my daughter. After she separated from her husband, she closed herself off from the world and from love. She only focuses on work and only goes out occasionally when Ane manages to drag her to a party. Sometimes, I think she doesn't allow herself to open up to new experiences out of pure fear of getting hurt again. Her ex-boyfriend caused so much harm to my daughter. Poor thing, she loved him, and he cheated on her. If he wanted to have fun, why didn't he end the marriage earlier? That way, she would have suffered less, because the betrayal hurt her deeply, not only her but also us.Her father kept the case hidden to prevent it from appearing in the press. People can be very malicious, and in this era of the internet, nothing stays hidden. Internet judges are the worst. There are only perfect people behind a screen, and Mel didn't need to be judged in such a difficult moment she went through.Today, my daughter is no longer the cheerful

Melissa -And here comes my crazy clueless friend, I said out loud so she can hear, and it seems like she actually did because she burst out laughing, hurting my ears.Hey, you crazy person, be quiet, we're at my workplace.And whose idea was it to crack a joke? What did you expect me to do? Cry? She really has no sense at all, coming to disturb me even at my job. Oh my God, what am I supposed to do with this girl? Is it so difficult for her to leave me alone? At least at work.Ane, what do you want, huh? I already know it's not something good. You being awake at this hour, something must have happened.And then you complain when I call you annoying.Just tell me what you want here so early, or I'll kick you out.How many more people are with you?It's just me and the security guards, darling.Is that how you treat your dear friend? I pout and Mel can't resist my charm and starts laughing.Well, you end up winning me over, you cow.So, can we get serious now?Sure, what brings you her

Melissa's Mother:I knew Ane would convince Melissa to travel. That girl is worth gold. I've asked my secretary to prepare a travel itinerary for us, book hotels, and buy our tickets. I asked to reserve the best hotel in Fortaleza. We deserve it.I can't even remember the last time I traveled with Mel. I've wanted this for so long, but thanks to Ane, here we go for a week of sun and relaxation. As far as I know, my daughter hasn't taken a vacation in years. We could have taken an international trip, but if she objected to going to Fortaleza, imagine going outside of Brazil. She wouldn't agree.Not even Ane, with all her persuasion skills, could convince her. My daughter, so young, should be enjoying life instead of being locked up in an office all the time. At least on weekends, she used to enjoy camping with her friends, traveling to our house in Petrópolis with them. Now the house is abandoned, as are the others. It's a pity.Our house in Paraty is the most beautiful thing in the wo

Melissa:I arrived at the company today and went straight to talk to my father. He was delighted to hear that I decided to take a vacation, and he was even shocked when I mentioned that I'm going to Las Vegas. It's not really my style, but I've decided to live and not care anymore if it fits my image. I need to enjoy things more. Now let's see how Ane is going to manage to accompany me.She can figure it out herself. Isn't that how she does it with me? She practically forces me to do things, and I always end up giving in. This time, I'm going to force her to come with me. She'll be full of "whining," but she won't have a choice, that's it!I haven't told Ricardo about my trips yet, but he can't say anything, at most agree. We don't have anything set in stone yet, except that I'll be waiting for him.We'll sit down and talk and decide on something only after his fake wedding next month. So, I have plenty of time to enjoy my vacation. But, truth be told, I wish I could be a fly on the w

Today is the launch day of my project for Ricardo's company. The celebration cocktail party brings together all the people we care about: our families, our friends and co-workers. I look around, watching everyone chatting excitedly, smiling and enjoying the event. I can't help but smile too, feeling a wave of happiness wash over me.The lounge is elegantly decorated, the soft lights creating a welcoming mood. As I make my way through the crowd, greeting guests, I feel mixed emotions. It's a mixture of fulfillment for the project I've worked so hard to bring to fruition, and also the joy of having all these beloved faces come together to celebrate this special moment.My daughter is in the arms of a caring aunt, surrounded by laughter and affection. Seeing the happiness in her eyes fills me with gratitude and reminds me that everything I do is for her, for the future we are building for her.Ricardo is beside me, proud and radiant.

Ricardo got home and, when he opened the door, he found Ane and I talking animatedly. His eyes lit up upon seeing the scene, and he smiled warmly. "Looks like I'm missing quite a conversation."Ane and I laughed, and I got up to greet him with a kiss. "Welcome back darling. You have no idea the deep conversations you're missing out on."Ricardo joked, feigning indignation. "Looks like I'm being left out of the women's secrets here."Ane intervened, laughing. "Nothing like that, Ricardo. We were just sharing deep thoughts about life, motherhood and the importance of having a great friend around."He winked at me and then at Ane. "Well, then I guess I have a lot to learn."We decided that instead of getting buried in deep thought, it was time to get together and enjoy a nice dinner together. As we sat at the table, I felt grateful to have these two amazing people in my life.During dinner, conversations flowed naturally. Ane and Ricardo had a special chemistry, a unique blend of friends

And here comes the most clueless godmother on the face of the earth, Ane hasn't changed a thing, year in and year out she's still the same clueless, but I love her anyway._ Where is the most beautiful baby in this world?

MelissaNow that everything is resolved, Ricardo and I decided to take a vacation and enjoy our daughter, who with all this running around ended up being left behind, she was at my mother's house and I need to pay attention to her.I was looking forward to getting home and seeing my daughter. I missed her and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible.Ricardo and I took the plane and arrived in Rio de Janeiro the next day. My mother received us in her house with great joy.She told us that my daughter was fine and that she was looking forward to seeing us.Ricardo and I went to my daughter's room. She was sleeping in her crib, beautiful and peaceful.I approached her and hugged her very affectionately. She opened her eyes and smiled at me.I was so happy to see her. I kissed her and told her I loved her very much.Ricardo also hugged his daughter and said he missed her.We spend the whole day with our daughter. We played with her, bathed her and fed her.She was so happy to be

I was sitting in Ricardo's car, with him beside me, as Ricardo's investigators drove us home. I was relieved that it was all over, but I was still confused about why Ana had done what she had done."Are you still thinking about it?" Richard asked."Yes," I said. "I don't understand why she did that.""Maybe she was in love with me," Ricardo said."But she never showed anything," I said. "She was always professional with me.""Perhaps she was hiding her feelings," Ricardo said. "Or maybe she was pressured by someone.""But who?" I asked."I don't know," Ricardo said. "But I'll find out."**The next day, Ricardo took me to his company. He wanted to show me something."What is that?" I asked, seeing an open laptop on his desk."It's the video," Ricardo said.He showed me the video. I saw the moment when Ana placed the camera in Ricardo's room."See," Richard said. "Someone is accompanying her."I saw a shadowy figure move in the background of the video."Who is it?" I asked."I don't kn

I got up running with my cell phone in my hand and went straight to Ricardo's office, who was startled when I burst in. "Are you crazy honey? What a scare you gave me walking in like that." "Sorry." "The house is on fire, for you to come in like that?" "No, but it will if we don't do something about it soon. Look at this." I said and while I stretched out my hand with the cell phone for him to watch the new video." Ricardo took the cell phone from my hand and watched the excerpt that was sent, he had no expression on his face and he didn't even seem nervous about that situation, while I'm desperate about it all. I can't imagine this video going around the Internet, what our families will imagine of us, my parents would be very disappointed in me, even though they know their daughter well. "Ricardo says something." "What do you want me to say? That we had good sex that day?" Ricardo jokes even at a time like this. "I'm so angry with you, you know? You can be serious at least on
Love and Seduction 82
I was afraid. I did not know what to do. I had just received a call from an unknown number. The person on the phone said they had intimate videos of me and Ricardo. They wanted a million dollars or they would release the videos.I didn't have a million dollars. I did not know what to do. I was scared and ashamed. I needed to talk to Ricardo, but I didn't know how.I decided to go to his company. I knew he was busy, but I needed to talk to him.I arrived at the company and went to his office. He was busy, but he saw me and called me in."What's up Melissa?" he asked.I took a deep breath and told her everything that had happened. I told him about the phone call and the videos and the money.Richard was shocked. He didn't know what to say. He just sat there, looking at me, for a long time."I don't know what to do," he finally said. "I don't have a million dollars.""Me neither," I said. "But we have to do something.""I don't know what to do," he repeated.I was starting to lose hope.
