Melissa:As I expected, my parents were incredibly sweet to Ricardo. They treated him like a son, and I wouldn't expect anything less from them. They know how responsible I am with my actions—I never do anything without thinking it through and being certain of what I'm doing.What surprised them, though, was when I mentioned that I was thinking about moving to São Paulo. Despite that, they accepted my decision well.Now I'm packing a small suitcase for a few days because I won't stay there for long. I'm going with a little fear of what awaits me. I don't know how I'll be received. Even though Ricardo tells me everything will be fine, I'm scared. Will my in-laws like me? Several questions linger in my mind, and that familiar anxiety and anticipation start to creep in.Ricardo is amazing. He constantly tries to reassure me that everything will work out, that his parents are wonderful and have accepted me without any issue. He tells me not to worry about it, that his biggest concern is h
Melissa -If this girl thinks she can get under my skin while I'm around, she's mistaken. Poor thing, I actually feel sorry for her. Even bankrupt and screwed over without a penny to her name, she's still arrogant.I can't fathom what Ricardo saw in this girl. She's full of pride and lacks humility. I find it ridiculous that Ricardo has to support her. Okay, she's having his baby, but she's not his responsibility.She could very well work, but no, she can't because she's pregnant. It's like she's in a terminal state where she can't do anything. I thought he would even pay for a maid for her since he's so generous. I knew something was completely wrong with this story because she wouldn't be here for no reason.But I'll make it clear to Ricardo to get rid of her as soon as possible. She can move out tomorrow since his apartment is all set and ready to be lived in. So, there's no reason for her to stay here bothering my in-laws for more days now that the princess already has housing, fo
Ex-Fiancée -If Ricardo and that little woman of his think I'm going to settle for the crumbs he's giving me, they're sorely mistaken. I didn't come this far to get nothing because what he offered me is nothing. Living in a flat, who lives in a flat? A room with a bathroom and a mini kitchen.He must be crazy if he thinks I'll be content with just that. And as if that weren't enough, he won't pay for a housekeeper and said I have to fend for myself if I want to survive. Me, doing laundry and ironing? Where does he get off thinking I'll do housework? I wasn't born for that. I'm a princess.I won't make their lives easy at all. Either they give me what I want, or I won't give them a moment's peace. I'll make their lives a living hell no matter the cost. I have nothing to lose anymore, so whatever comes my way is a bonus, and they should be prepared.Finally, my ex-father-in-law told me the whole truth about my parents, and by now they must be somewhere in the world enjoying the money th
Ricardo's Father -My son is my pride. What a spectacular and wonderful woman he found. She's intelligent, polite, and the best part is that she's not snobbish. She's truly a delightful person. She came in and showed what she's made of, not giving the ex-girlfriend any chance to get close. I didn't want to interfere because this girl has a fiery spirit and didn't give any opportunity for the ex to step out of line. And from what I can see, my son is head over heels for her.He's deeply in love with this girl, and I couldn't be happier that my son has found the love of his life, someone who will complete him and make him very happy. That's what matters most - that they both are very happy.I told my son everything that happened while he was away, and he didn't approve of buying the company. He told me that, if it were up to him, his ex-father-in-law would go bankrupt. But since I bought it, I gave it to him and let him decide what to do with his ex-father-in-law's company. He deserved
Melissa -I can't believe that girl is still here, even though Ricardo made it clear she could move out the next day. Several days have passed, and she's still at my in-laws' house, and it's starting to deeply irritate me.I already told Ricardo to take immediate action, or I don't know what I'm capable of. She keeps calling him all the time, saying her belly is moving for him to come and feel, or claiming she's feeling pains for him to help.My mother-in-law said she's perfectly fine when we're not around, but as soon as we arrive, she starts feeling a thousand different things just to get his attention, and it's obvious she's doing it to annoy me as well. Now more than ever, I'm sure that living here in São Paulo is the best solution because I won't let my husband do the back and forth because of his ex.And I'm certain she'll use this pregnancy to torment us. My concern is when I can't come with him. She'll take advantage of that. Just her voice is irritating me. Today, I asked my
Melissa -After hanging up the phone, I hurried to greet my husband. He looked exhausted, so I gave him a passionate kiss, and he pulled me into his arms, giving me delightful squeezes. That alone was enough to drive me crazy, and of course, I wasted no time pulling him into the bathroom.I quickly removed his suit and tossed it aside, while his skillful hands undressed me. We stepped into the shower and continued our passionate embrace, things heating up quickly. Unable to hold back, I asked him to fuck me hard and fast, just the way he knows I like it.He positioned me on all fours with my hands against the wall, and thrust into me forcefully, each stroke driving me wild as I sensually gyrated, feeling him deep inside me. I screamed with pleasure every time he thrust, the water cascading deliciously over our bodies.He's such a hot man, and I love talking dirty while making love, which Ricardo enjoys hearing. He asks me to speak more and moan for him. He reaches his hand to my clito
Ex-fiancée -They fell right into my plan. All I had to do was fake a fainting spell, and everything worked out perfectly. Now they're all here, fawning over me.While Ricardo holds my hand, his little wifey is sulking in the corner of the room with a sour face. The doctor put me on an IV drip and said I'll have to spend the night here, which is wonderful because Ricardo has already volunteered to stay the night with me.Inside, I'm laughing at how foolish they all look. He's here by my side, full of regret for the things he's been doing to me. I think his wife will explode with anger soon, but it's not my fault. If she doesn't like her husband's behavior, there's nothing I can do. They're all such idiots, so concerned about a child that's not even his.If they were a bit smarter, they would have figured it out by now. My fiancé is so clueless that he hasn't even realized that based on the months I've been pregnant, it couldn't possibly be his child, as he would realize I got pregnant
Mother of Ricardo -I know how difficult it is to choose between staying by the side of the love of your life or your unborn child, but I think my son is making a big mistake. He could have easily spent the night with his ex and avoided so many things, but this stubborn head of his didn't want to.There are times when we have to consider the consequences of our actions, and my daughter-in-law is not wrong to be upset about this situation. Ricardo has the option to not stay at the hospital with his ex, but instead of compromising, he insisted on being there himself.So now he has to face the consequences. When he told me he had a fight with Melissa, I knew that something bad was about to happen. Melissa isn't one to take things lying down, and based on what little I know about her, she won't accept this situation quietly. Actually, I wouldn't either. It's an abuse of her trust. My son is going too far and falling into his ex's trap.Nothing can fool me into thinking that all of this is
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.
