Love and Seduction 36
Melissa -We had a great time throughout the weekend. We went to the movies, cuddled in the dark, held hands while strolling through the mall, just like a normal couple.Even though nothing is defined yet, I want so much more of this. We went to the park, the museum, Sugarloaf Mountain, and even to Christ the Redeemer. But now that it's coming to an end, I'm getting really worried. This week is marked by the wedding that won't happen, but still, I'm very concerned.I'm afraid that Ricardo might change his mind and decide to get married, or that something else might happen and he'll be forced to marry. I'll only travel after this wedding, so at least I can enjoy the trip without any problems or worries. When I return, we'll sit down to talk and sort things out between us and decide our future as a couple.But for now, I just want to enjoy the time while he's still here, and nothing more. Despite everything, I'm happy. I'm getting to know another side of him that I never imagined existe

Ricardo -I can't believe it's my father-in-law. He's the kind of man who commands respect with just his gaze, and he intimidates me a little. I knew I would have to face him at some point, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I left him in the living room and went to the bedroom to let Mel know that her visitor is none other than her father. She noticed but acted naturally, seemingly unaffected.She found it strange that her father is here since he rarely comes over, so it must be something important for him to show up unannounced. She asked me to keep him company until she finishes getting ready. I can't believe she asked me to do that. I'll have to be alone with him until Mel is ready.Maybe by then, I won't be alive anymore. Just kidding, at most, he'll give me a stern talking-to, but nothing more. I take a deep breath and return to the living room, my heart racing. I feel like a kid asking his girlfriend's father for her hand in marriage. My father-in-law is one of those intimid

Melissa -My father tried to corner me, thinking I didn't know the truth, but I showed him the truth and asked him to trust me as he always has. Even though he wasn't satisfied with the situation, he listened to me and gave Ricardo an ultimatum.Ricardo will talk to him again once he resolves his own situation. I never imagined my father suspected something. I thought no one knew besides my mother and Ane, but it's good that it happened. At least I don't have to hide anymore. The people who truly matter to me now know about our situation. Yes, we are together.I see Ricardo being a bit quiet and thoughtful after my father left. I think he regrets it after the pressure from my father. Could it be that? If that's the case, I'll be so upset because I'm putting everything into this relationship. If he gives up on me because of that conversation with my father, it means he's weak and doesn't deserve to have someone like me in his life.I don't question his behavior and return to the bedroo

I arrived at work and I'm so sleepy, but today I couldn't miss it at all. The meetings I have this morning are very important. One of them is to finalize a big purchase that my company is making, and the CEO needs to be present because we'll be signing the purchase and sale contract. It's a shame the weekend went by so quickly, but it was really good and we had clarifying conversations. I hope that from now on, everything will be resolved smoothly.I entered my first meeting and coffee is a must. The meeting took longer than expected, but we finally reached a good agreement for both parties. Judging by the way things are going, I probably won't even have time for lunch today. The second meeting is about to start and I haven't even left the meeting room yet. I asked my secretary to bring me a snack because it's already 1 p.m. and I haven't been able to stop and eat anything. I have to leave by 2 p.m. at the latest, or I'll miss the appointment. I promised that I would take care of the

RicardoThe judge started talking a bunch of things, but to be honest, I wasn't paying attention. I just wanted it to end quickly so I could run away from there and go straight into the arms of my beloved, far away from here.And the ceremony continues, and it seems like it will never end. People are all smiles, and it's irritating. Those smiles make it seem like they've won the wedding jackpot. The bride's father even puffs up his chest.There's definitely more to this than just the wedding. Melissa was absolutely right. It's so much more. I notice that even from a distance, the paparazzi is still taking pictures of us. My God, what a circus this is. And the worst part is that their plan will backfire. They brought the paparazzi upon themselves.Soon, there will be gossip everywhere that a rich man's daughter was abandoned by a magnate on her wedding day. Well, they asked for it, so now they can deal with the consequences. I'm snapped out of my thoughts by my ex calling my name, and

Ricardo -I quickly stopped by home, dropped off my mother, grabbed my bags, and headed to the airport with my father. He's going to bring my car back."My son, I'm so proud of you. That scene at the registry office was marvelous.""You think so, Dad?""The old man's expression was priceless. I even recorded it in my memory. And his face will worsen even more when he finds out that I already turned myself in to the police, and he won't be able to use the evidence he has for anything.""Father, he's going to be blown away by all the bombs we dropped in his face.""That's for him to learn never to mess with our family again.""I totally agree with you." We both start laughing because what he said was hilarious.We arrived at the airport, and I said goodbye to my father. Then I headed to the check-in counter, and soon enough I was boarding the flight to Rio de Janeiro. Mel is going to be in for a big surprise when she finds out that I'll be going on this trip with her instead of Ane. She

A trace of vulnerability, shimmering through her voice.At the same time, his words carried the despair that plagued him.If these words had been spoken in the past, when they mattered, I would have been delighted.I closed my eyes, took a deep breath as the room between us seemed to freeze. Carlos broke the silence when he released me and whispered, “What room are you staying in?”I, furrowed his brow And replied, "It would be more appropriate for you to take a room for yourself."My words fell on deaf ears when he entered the hotel. I waited a considerable amount of time before going inside and taking the elevator to the fifth floor. I got off the elevator, went into my room.I stopped Static midway. “Like my room’s last name and how did you get in here?”I never told Lucia where I was staying, how did he find out?Carlos loosened his tie and replied, coldly: “Sorry to disappoint you, but you are staying at one of the hotels in my hotel chain, and one more thing, I have never been i

Ane -Mel is going to go crazy when she finds out what Ricardo and I did for her. I think it will be unforgettable, and my friend needed this. After years, she's finally breaking out of her shell, so I just gave her a little push to make it happen. She deserves to be very happy, and I hope Ricardo can make this leap of faith she's giving him worthwhile.I really wish I could be a fly on the wall to see his arrival on the plane. Her jaw must have dropped. She probably cursed me for planning everything behind her back, but friends are there for these things, to give a little nudge. I'm certain she'll have an amazing time with him. I'm rooting for them because I have a lot of work to do at my store, and I'm not a daddy's girl who can travel all month long.Don't get me wrong, I would love to go. Who wouldn't want to go to Las Vegas on vacation? But I really couldn't, and if I had told Melissa earlier, she would have given up on the trip for sure. So, I talked to Ricardo, who thought it 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.

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

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.
