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 wisRelated chapters

"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

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

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
His Identity Don't worry about love
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. We've been made to understand that he's been involved in some fraudulent activities", she said.If Yasmin was surprised by this news, she hid it well. Rita secretly praised her for how wel
His Identity Gabriel is the culprit
At exactly Nine a.m, Rita walked into the office with Rodrigo in tow, carrying her bags. She nodded at Yasmin who greeted her. She took the elevator all the way up to her office, quietly thinking about the forthcoming meeting."You should stop thinking", Rodrigo said.They were in her office. Rita was on her seat, her thoughts in disarray. She had expected Rodrigo to leave but she was surprised to see him standing there which showed that her mind was completely off."I'm trying but everytime I remember what that bastard did, I'm always sad", she said.Rodrigo moved towards her, picking her up as he placed her on his lap. Rita cradled his neck, breathing in his scent. She laid her head on his chest, wishing she could remain like this for as long as she wanted."I'll be with you in the conference room", he said.Rita whipped her head up, staring into his blue eyes. She didn't know if he was joking or serious but looking at him now, she realized he w

Few weeks passed but they still didn't find out who was behind the shooting. Gabriel, Head of finance got sacked and was handed over to the police immediately. Asides this, all the money he had stolen were returned back to the country. As Rita thought about it, she knew that Gabriel would be behind bars for many years because the gravity of the offence he committed was great.The only reason she was sympathetic about his case was because of his wife and his two year old daughter. Apparently, his wife didn't know about her husband's fraudulent activities."Senator Brabra is hosting a dinner for some of his close friends tomorrow evening. As usual, we've been invited. I see it as a way to tighten your bond with his son, Edmundo since you both would be getting married soon", Lawrence said.They were in the dining room one evening when he announced this. Rita thought they had forgotten all about her supposed marriage with Edmundo but as it stands, they haven't. In fact, t

The following day, being the last day of the working week, Rita walked into the office building. She had a renewed strength, vowing that nothing would spoil her day. She wanted to finish up with her workload so she could leave early and prepare for Theresa's arrival."I... Don't worry about picking me up this evening, I'm going somewhere from here", she said.She was in her office with Rodrigo. The chaffeur had a confused expression on his face as he tried to determine what she was saying."It's okay Rita, I could drive you wherever you want", he said.He moved closer to her, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. Rita didn't want him knowing where she was going. She wanted an alone time with her friend, away from her parents and even Rodrigo. Not that she had stopped loving him, far from it. She just wanted to be alone for some time."I promise, don't worry about it. If there's anything amiss, I'll give you a call", she said, kissing him full on the lips.
