All Chapters of Love and Seduction: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ricardo,All I wanted right now was to get on a plane and go to the woman of my life and throw myself into her arms, forgetting that there's a world around us. My heart almost stopped when I received your message, Melissa accepted to be my girlfriend, and that's all I want – to have her all to myself. But before anything else, I need to clarify everything here. I can't start something without putting an end to my problems first. Mel doesn't deserve someone entering her life burdened with issues. Maybe she thinks I simply didn't want to respond, but for now, I just want to focus on my son and ending my engagement.Today, I have a meeting at the company, and I know it won't be easy. But I won't let myself be defeated. Life has to go on. I wake up early, take a long and warm shower. It's a bit chilly today. I put on a navy blue suit and I'm ready. Since I woke up earlier, I decide to leave earlier too. I don't want to argue with my parents once again. I head out, and the maid is setting

Ricardo -No matter how difficult it may seem, I have to make a decision. I can't believe that when I finally find someone I truly want and who is worth it, all of this happens. I can't believe I'll have to give up on my happiness.My father shouldn't have done this to me, but I also can't let him go to jail. However, I can't get married. I don't love her, and I don't want to be with her. My heart belongs to Melissa, and I can't imagine anyone else touching her. I'm completely lost, not knowing what to do.I need a shower urgently. I take off my clothes and go to the bathroom, letting the water flow over my body. Even then, I don't feel relaxed. I don't know what to think. I stay under the shower until I start feeling cold. I dry myself and wrap a towel around me, heading to my room. I put on some underwear and throw myself on the bed. My thoughts are racing, and all this pressure is driving me crazy.Melissa -It finally happened. I received the answer I've been waiting for. He wants

Ricardo -I arrived at my father-in-law's company, and it seemed like he was already expecting me. I sat down in front of him without even greeting him and went straight to the point.Well, you got what you wanted. I'm going to marry your daughter.I knew you would make a decision, my boy.Yeah, let's put an end to this charade once and for all. Set up this damn wedding and let me know the date. I'll be there.As you wish, my son.Not your son. I would never have a father like you.Well, I wanted you both to live with us.Not even in your wildest dreams. I've already agreed to the marriage, but now it's me who decides about where we'll live, and I'm sure your daughter will love it. She'll be in for a big surprise when she finds out what I have in mind. I'll buy a small apartment on the other side of town, far away from everything and everyone. She'll have to work and cook if she wants to survive. I'm already planning everything in my mind.It's going to be so much fun.Ricardo, this i

Mel -I can't digest everything I just heard; this is everything to me. Even though I always say I have a terrible taste in men, Ane insists that I don't, but even after hearing everything, I don't want to give up on him. I love him, and I won't let him go, no matter what I have to face. I'll stand by his side. My heart asks me for that, and despite all the barriers, I want to fight for this love. But first, I'll make him suffer a little, or else it won't be any fun.You know, I've been thinking about everything you told me. He looks at me in anticipation, waiting for what I'm going to say, and I just look at him and start unbuttoning his shirt that I'm wearing. I stand up and sit on his lap. His eyes light up, and I see tears welling up, but he stays strong and holds them back. I take his hand and guide it to one of my breasts, and I make him hold it. He keeps looking at me and holds onto my waist with his other free hand.So, this body right here, you won't touch it anymore. I'm sor

Pai de Melissa -My daughter really thinks she can fool me. She really thinks I don't know that she's getting involved with Ricardo. I noticed right away from the looks they exchanged as soon as he arrived at the company, and Mel's behavior completely changed. I ordered an investigation and I was sure they are indeed involved with each other. But if Ricardo thinks he can deceive my daughter, he is completely mistaken. If he thinks I didn't check his background, he's very wrong.The guy has a fiancée in São Paulo and thinks he can come here and have fun with my daughter. I will have to take some measures about this. I waited to see how far this would go, and it's going too far. Two days ago, my detective informed me that he was in town and stayed at my daughter's apartment. This means their affair is ongoing.It wasn't exactly what I wanted to meddle in my daughter's life. She is already grown up and in control of her own decisions. But if I had intervened the first time, she wouldn't
