Melissa -I really needed this night of sleep, and now I'm getting ready to go to dinner. Ricardo wants me to experience the Bellagio, a casino hotel that has a restaurant, theater, and a bunch of other things. I'm curious already, I'm dressing up like those women in movies, like in 007, I'm getting inspired by that to go out in the Las Vegas night. I want to experience this city. I put on a red dress with a high slit, high heels, and bold makeup. Hair flowing in the wind, I feel beautiful. Ricardo waits for me in the sitting room, and as soon as I arrive, he's speechless with my look."Oh my God! What is all this?" Ricardo says, looking at me in awe."I'm in Las Vegas, baby.""Well, with that, I don't think we're going to leave this room.""Oh, we will. Do you really think I got all dressed up not to go out? Come on!""You look incredibly hot.""Then let's go before I lose my mind and devour you right here in this room, without even taking off this dress. I'm salivating," he says, ge
Melissa -I woke up with a terrible hangover and a headache. I think we went way overboard last night and crossed all limits. I can't remember much; I remember we were at the casino playing and drinking, but after that, I don't recall anything. Ricardo must know what we did when he wakes up; he'll have to tell me everything in detail. At least we made it back to the hotel, but I don't know what time we arrived or how we got here. My God, I'm curious to know what happened. I'm so tired; I'll go back to sleep for a little while.Melissa's Father -What the hell is this in the gossip magazines? I can't believe it. I've called her a thousand times, but her phone goes straight to voicemail. How could my daughter do something so stupid? Getting married? And in a chapel in Las Vegas? I'm going to kill that guy. I can't believe what they did, and to make it worse, he posted it on social media. Why all this unnecessary exposure? My daughter must not be in her right mind to make such a decision
Father of the ex-fiancée -That idiot was able to get married a few days after leaving my incompetent daughter at the altar, pregnant. Every moment, a new problem arises. Just when you think things can't get worse, they do. Everything is falling apart. I was almost killed by one of my creditors. He gave me a week to pay him back, or he'll kill me. I'm going to sell the company and this house to get some money.I have nowhere to run, no more sources of money to pay everyone. Maybe after paying off everyone, I'll have a little money left to buy a simple house for us to live in. If that incompetent daughter of mine had managed to get married, none of this would be happening. I made it clear to her that I have no responsibility for her or the child she's carrying. She can figure it out on her own. If she couldn't keep a man, she'll have to figure things out on her own.I already know who I'm going to sell everything to, but to do that, I'll have to stoop to a level I never wanted to reach
Melissa -I finally woke up; I don't even know what time it is. I think I slept all day. Ricardo isn't beside me, but I can hear the shower running, so he must be taking a bath. I won't miss this opportunity, so I quickly get up and only then realize that I'm completely naked. Our night must have been amazing to wake up like this, without any clothes on. I head towards the bathroom just as I was born.It may sound crazy, but with Ricardo, I don't feel shy or embarrassed at all. I join him in the shower, and of course, we don't miss the chance and have passionate sex as always. I never get tired of being with this man.After the shower, I still have a major hangover, and my stomach is growling with hunger. We slept the entire day. I need to eat something as soon as possible, but I don't know where I left my phone."Love, have you seen my phone anywhere?""Mel, I saw it in the living room. Take a look there. I'll order something for us to eat.""Alright."I went to check, and it was ind
Ricardo -I got married! Saying it like this might sound like I'm scared, but no, I'm actually really happy. Now Melissa is mine and mine alone. It was crazy, yes, but it's done, and honestly, I don't want it to be undone in any way. Now she's my wife, and that's final. I can imagine people seeing this, the gossip, saying that I left my ex because I already had someone else. I can imagine the look on my ex's face and my ex-father-in-law's face. By now, the old man must be furious, but I don't owe them anything anymore. The only thing connecting me to that family is my son, and nothing more. So screw what they're saying about me. I want to be happy and enjoy my honeymoon, which I never even imagined would happen.Mel and I didn't even talk, we just went ahead with the wedding. If there was something left to talk about, it's gone now. We don't have it anymore. Now she's my wife, period.At first, she freaked out when she found out she got married and didn't remember anything. She cares
Ricardo's Father -As soon as my son's ex-father-in-law left, I called my lawyers to let them know they could come so we could discuss the purchase of the company. I'm afraid it might be a bad deal, and I feel like I'm rushing into things.It was really strange that he came to see me. In a situation like this, the person I just threatened would be the last person I would approach. But judging by his desperation, the problem is serious. I could take advantage of the situation, but I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of someone's vulnerable moment. I'm more inclined to help rather than hinder.Although in this case, this guy almost landed me in jail, or rather, I still don't know exactly what will happen to me in the future. But it was my mistake, and I have to take responsibility and face the consequences. Sooner or later, this could have happened or come to light in some way, and that's what happened.Soon my lawyers arrived, and we started a meeting to analyze the state of
Mother of the ex-fiancée -I'm planning a trip for next week. I need to get my daughter out of here as soon as possible. She's in the eye of the storm. What Ricardo did to her is unforgivable. He left her pregnant at the altar, and now, less than a week later, he appears on social media getting married to someone else. Who does this guy think he is to do this to my daughter? She's pregnant, and he didn't even respect that.He cheated on her because nobody gets married out of nowhere. He was already with another woman. In his post, he didn't tag her, so we still don't know the name of the woman he married. Maybe she doesn't know he had a fiancée and left her pregnant just days before marrying her. But I'll be more than happy to tell her and ruin his joy and this shitty marriage he made with some unknown person.I never imagined this guy would be capable of doing what he did. He probably already had this other woman, and the worst part is that he even posted snippets of the wedding on I
Ricardo -Everything is amazing here. Every outing is wonderful, such a beautiful place. We're enjoying everything this city has to offer. Today we're going to a nightclub, but earlier we visited the Elvis museum. It's crazy, this city is crazy. We're exploring every corner, and tomorrow we're going to a neighboring town.I can't even imagine what might be happening back in Brazil after the news of my marriage with Mel spread online. I can imagine the thousands of rumors that must have circulated. I got married, and I'm extremely happy. Nothing and no one will ruin that.Melissa is getting ready, and she looks stunning in the micro skirt I asked her to wear. This woman knows how to drive me crazy. I'm going to enjoy her tonight, that's for sure. Everything here feels magical. I feel like a boy in an amusement park for the first time, with so many attractions that I don't even know which one to choose.Mother of the ex-fiancée -I stayed in the bathroom until that man left the house. A
Epilogue:Time flew by, like a gentle breeze caressing your face. Today, looking back, I see how each chapter of my life intertwined in a story of love, overcoming and growth. The journey I started with a step of faith and courage has brought me to this moment, and each challenge overcome, each laugh shared, built the solid foundation of our family.Our daughter, now a young woman full of curiosity and determination, is the embodiment of the love that Ricardo and I share. Your sparkling eyes, your contagious smile, are a reflection of the joy we find in each other. Every day is a new adventure, and I marvel at the way she teaches us to see the world with fresh eyes full of wonder.Our second daughter, fruit of the love that never stopped growing, completes our family so perfectly. It brings with it a sense of renewal, endless possibilities and unconditional love. The house is now filled with laughter, scattered toys, and an infectious energy that constantly reminds us of what a privil
Melissa -Back then, when I decided to give love a new chance, I never imagined that this path would lead me to form a new family alongside such an incredible man as Ricardo. Today, I, Mellissa, can look back and say that I am truly happy and complete. Every step of that journey has brought me here, to this moment of fulfillment and fulfillment.The road of life is full of curves and surprises, and we often find ourselves at crossroads, not knowing exactly which way to go. However, by choosing to give love another chance, I took the first step towards a profound and positive transformation. Next to Ricardo, I found a partner, a friend and a love that surpasses all barriers.Our rapidly growing daughter is living proof of the love we share. Every smile, every achievement of hers, is a constant reminder that life is a valuable gift, full of simple joys and precious moments. Motherhood brought me challenges, but also unparalleled gratification, a deep connection with another human being
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. He takes my hand, and the contact is comforting. "You
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? Ane asked as my baby plopped down on her lap.I keep admiring the interaction between the two, my daughter loves her godmother, who in turn does whatever she wants, now the two are rolling around on the living room floor._Who is the godmother's chubby girl?The baby laughs as Ane tickles her tummy._And I don't even get a hi? Ask approaching the two._ Are you jealous friend?_You're welcome?Of course I'm not jealous, it's just that all the attention used to be mine, now it seems like I don't exist.But that's normal, everyone gets here at home asking about the baby, they find me on the street and ask about the baby, no one asks how Ricardo and I are doing anymore._A friend, I'm here. Ane says coming to hug me._Two hours later you remembered that I exist?_And no
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
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.
