Knew her weakness
Rita couldn't believe this was happening to her. She couldn't travel with Edmundo when she was so close to nabbing the thief who had been stealing from her company coupled with the fact that she was yet to discover who was behind that attack in Los Angeles. Rodrigo couldn't do it all alone, he needed her and there was no way she would leave him alone.
"I'm sorry, I can't go. I have so many things to do here that requires my attention", she said as politely as she could."There would be no excuses Rita. You must go with me, it's a must", he said, walking back to his seat."Why don't you tell your many concubines to accompany you", Rita screamed."Don't test my patience woman. You're coming with me and there's no argument about that", he said."And can you force me?",she said."I don't need to force you, I know just how to make you go", he said, stroking his beard."Which is?"."Your father", he smiled sadistically."You wouldn't", Rita saiRelated chapters
His Identity Love me or leave me
"How lovely to see you darling", Edmundo said, giving her a hug.There were just boarding his private jet, heading towards Madrid. Rita stilled, forcing herself to smile."It's not like I had a choice. You literally forced me to come", she said, taking the seat farthest away from him."Glad that you didn't invite your body guard. You know, I might have to transfer him somewhere else, somewhere far away", he said."Is that a threat Edmundo?", Rita asked, staring at him, dead in the eye."Call it whatever you like. Anyway, what would you have. Chicken, beef, turkey", he smiled."I'm not hungry", she said, quietly."Oh, you must eat"."I'm not hungry I ate before coming here", she said."Suit yourself", he said, going into the inner compartment of the plane.Rita was relieved at being left alone. She couldn't bare to stand his presence even for one moment. He was a despicable man and what's more, disgusting. She couldn't wait to get thi
His Identity My Private Place
When they landed in Madrid, a car was waiting for them, ready to take them to their destination which turned out to be Edmundo's penthouse. A lavish building that covered a wide expanse of land. The building was quaint with a transparent glass door that seemed to sparkle in the morning sun."Welcome to my private place", he said.Rita halted in her steps. That was the same name she called her private house back in Spain. She didn't believe in coincidences and she wondered if perhaps Edmundo knew about her building. She didn't know what she'd do if he discovered the place. No doubt, he'll look for every avenue to always visit her, disturbing the little peace she had managed to build away from him."It's... Nice", she said, walking into the building."Thank you, I bought it yesterday", he grinned.Rita halted in her steps, staring at him. She couldn't believe what she just heard, a building as big as this would take months before the purchase can be made but k

Rita burst into tears at the relief that flooded her. She couldn't believe that he wasn't angry like she had expected. This made her love him the more and she couldn't wait to be in his arms again."It's okay baby, please stop crying", Rodrigo said."I thought you'd never speak to me again after how I treated you", she croaked, wiping her eyes."No, I would never resent you for that. I know you were only doing that because you were scared and confused. That's why I told you to never allow him rule your mind", Rodrigo said."I didn't want him to suspect a thing. You fail to underestimate him, he's very smart and cunning. One small lie could make him do things that are much bigger then him. I was trying to protect you from his madness", Rita said, taking a seat."He's truly mad. Away from him, how are you princess?",he asked.Rita smiled, curling a strand of her hair. She never got tired of his hearing his sweet endearments. Most days, she desperately wis
His Identity Cannot be fooled
"Do I really have to wear this?", Rita sighed, staring at herself in the mirror."Yes, you have to. You're my fiancee, soon to be my wife and dressing shabbily wouldn't speak well of me", Edmundo said, fingering the necklace on her chest.Rita had never worn a gown as revealing as this. The gown was really short with an open back that clung to her hips, bringing out all her shape. She felt uncomfortable on it but she persevered only because she didn't want Edmundo to suspect her. If reverse was the case, she would happily wear this gown for Rodrigo knowing that he would appreciate it more."Now, hurry up or we'll be late", he said.Rita stared at him through the mirror,. He adorned a navy blue suit over a white bow that made him look handsome. Rita wasn't fooled by his appearance. Deep within him, he was a gutter fighter, a ruthless man who never stopped until he got what he wanted.As they walked out of the penthouse towards a limousine no doubt belonging t

She couldn't being herself to attend a wedding that wasn't of benefit to her."Oh come, you want to tell me you're sick?", Edmundo said, pacing about."Edmundo, illness has no season. It could come anytime it so desires", she said, coughing for added effect."I see. Get some drugs from the kitchen. I'm going", he said, slamming the door behind him.Rita sighed, rising up from her bed. So much for being his fiancee. She made her way to the bathroom, using it as quick as possible.After the wedding yesterday, Rita decided to search Edmundo's room. She had a feeling that she would get one or two things concerning his recent attitude these past few days. When she was done, she made her way to his room, opening it with the spare key card she got from the table in her room. Before going to his room, she locked the main doors tightly incase Edmundo decided to come back earlier than expected.When she got to hi
His Identity Spaghetti
The next day, at exactly one p.m, Edmundo's plane landed. Rita couldn't hide her joy at being back to Spain. She missed her parents but most especially, she missed Rodrigo. As the plane taxied to a stop, Rita couldn't wait to get out of the plane and finally meet the love of her life."What's got you smiling?", Edmumdo said, giving her a suspicious look."Oh nothing, I'm just happy to be back", she said."I see. I think we should do this some other time, you know me and you", Edmundo grinned."Oh no, I think I'll pass. I won't have time to do this again", she said."You always complain about not having time. What exactly do you do with your time?.A look of annoyance crossed his face but Rita ignored it. She didn't want anything to ruin her mood especially since she would soon see Rodrigo."Edmundo, I run an empire bigger than some countries. I'm always in meetings and different functions. The only reason why I went on this trip with you is because

As she walked into her home the next day, Rita answered to greetings from the workers. She was glad to be home. Rodrigo and her spent a lot of time in the private place the previous day, talking about how best she was to inform her father."Hey Dad", Rita beamed.Her father was sitting on a reclined chair, going over the morning's paper. He looked up and when he saw his daughter, he smiled."Darling, how are you? How was your trip", he said, sitting up.Rita took the seat beside him, placing her clutch purse on a nearby table. She stared at her father and couldn't help but give a sad sigh. Her father was getting on in years and it was evident from his behavior." How are you, where's mum?",she asked."She's fine. Went to gossip with Senator Brabra's wife yesterday evening, I'm expecting her this morning", he said."Okay. Father, there's something I would like to discuss with you. That's why I came this early before you go out", she said.Sensi
His Identity Welcome back
"Yasmin, please come upstairs for a bit", Rita said through the intercom.Few minutes later, Yasmin walked into the office looking beautiful and resplendent in her navy blue gown. Her hair was packed into a severe bun, bringing out her face the more."Greetings ma'am, welcome back", she smiled."Thank you. Please sit down, I have something important to discuss with you", Rita said.Yasmin sat down, patiently waiting for her to proceed with what she intended to say. In the two years she had been working with her, Yasmin had known Rita to be a hard-working young lady, putting her all into the success of the organization."I want you to organize a meeting of all the board members slated for tomorrow by ten a.m sharp. Please leave the head of finance, Gabriel out if this.
