Leo is known for being a man of many conquests and casual relationships. However, upon meeting Zaya, he is drawn to her strength of character and independent personality. The conflict arises when Léo realizes that, despite his desire to have her as another conquest, Zaya is not willing to submit to his whims. This resistance intrigues him, and he finds himself embroiled in a quest to conquer not only her body, but her heart as well.
Chapter 1 Introduction
A dark night enveloped the bustling city, where the neons of bars and restaurants created a vibrant atmosphere. In the middle of this setting, in a trendy bar, Léo was looking for his next conquest. At 38, he was a wealthy businessman who owned several companies and always got what he wanted. His athletic body and irresistible charm attracted women like magnets, but his strong, impulsive personality didn't always create lasting bonds.
Léo walked into the bar with exuding confidence, his eyes scanning the place for something new, something different. It was then that he saw her. Zaya, the waitress who effortlessly seemed to be the center of attention. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the expression of confidence on her face made her seem like a queen among mere mortals. Her eyes met his for a brief moment, and Leo felt a shiver run down his spine.
He approached the bar counter, determined to win Zaya over with his impeccable lip. He ordered a drink, hoping to catch her eye. Zaya walked elegantly towards him, and Leo smiled, feeling more and more attracted to this woman who seemed undaunted by her fame or wealth.
"Good evening, beautiful. What can I do for you?" she asked, without losing the empowered tone in her seductive voice.
Léo replied with a confident smile, starting an unpretentious conversation. However, as they exchanged words, he realized that Zaya was different from all the women he had ever flirted with. She didn't get carried away by empty compliments, and her independence intrigued him more and more.
As Leo tried to win Zaya's attention, he noticed a familiar-looking man approaching. It was Caio, her ex-boyfriend and a ghost from Zaya's past. Her heart seemed to clench momentarily at the sight of him, but she soon regained her confident poise.
Caio greeted Zaya with a forced smile, but the look of possessiveness in his eyes did not go unnoticed. He didn't hide his annoyance at Léo's presence next to Zaya and made it clear that they still had some sort of connection.
Léo noticed the tension in the air and remained calm, but his curiosity grew. He wanted to know more about the history between Zaya and Caio, but he knew he was sensitive about touching that subject.
As the night progressed, Leo continued to talk to Zaya, trying to unravel the mysteries she held. He realized that it was not just her slender body and stunning beauty that attracted him, but the unique essence of her personality. Zaya was an empowered woman with her own dreams and desires, and Leo knew he would have to fight to win her heart.
As Caio watched the interaction between Zaya and Leo from afar, a restlessness began to grow inside him. He knew he couldn't let Zaya move on so easily, and her presence at the bar that night was no coincidence.
The beginning of a game of seduction was on, but now there was a new player in the game. Léo was determined to win Zaya's heart, but he would have to face the ghosts of the past that still haunted her, especially regarding Caio. The night was just beginning, and the destinies of these three characters were about to intertwine in an intriguing plot of love, challenges and overcoming.
