Spit it out
"I won't allow you to go see the bastard who almost gunned you down", her father seethed.
Rita hadn't planned on informing him but she couldn't keep something like this from him. He deserved to know at least even though they really didn't see eye to eye on certain issues."I need to go Dad, i need to find out other things about this attack. I have a feeling that there's more to this. Please, I'll be okay. Remember, it's a police station and nothing can really go wrong there", she said.Lawrence sighed, there was really no arguing with his daughter especially if her mind was already made up."Okay, just be careful. Go with Ramirez and at the first sign of trouble, please get out of there", he said."I will, don't worry about me", Rita smiled.She left the house soon, followed closely by Ramirez and three of the security men who all wore frightening looks.Rita climbed the SUV while Ramirez manned the wheels. There was another escort car behind her aRelated chapters
His Identity Unknown Identity
Rita knew she had to tell somebody about what she heard but she didn't quite know who to tell. The issue was a very sensitive one and there was no telling what would happen if the information fell into the wrong hands.As she thought about it, Camille's name popped in her mind. If there was one person she could trust, it was her. She was also sure of getting good advice from her on how best to handle the case.Rita picked up her phone, deciding to call the woman whom she could proudly call her friend."Hi Camille", Rita said, smiling into the phone."Oh, hello dear. How have you been?", she asked."I've been good. Please, I need to see you. Are you still in your friend's house", Rita said."Oh no, I got back to my house yesterday. Is anything the problem dear?",she asked."I'm afraid yes, I need to talk to you about something", Rita said."Oh my gosh! Is it Rodrigo?", she croaked."No... No, it's not Rodrigo", Rita said.She co
His Identity It's not true
A week had passed since the attack in Rita's office. She was grateful for being alive, grateful that despite everything she had faced, she could wake up each day and take in the morning air."Ramirez said it's okay to go back to the office now", Rita said over breakfast one morning."Are you sure? I don't want a repeat of that attack happening again", Lawrence said."I'm sure dad, it won't happen again. Besides, the man who did it is behind bars and wouldn't come out for a very long time", Rita said.Ever since she had gone to see Nicholas in his cell, she had been itching to tell her parents what he said. She didn't know what to expect if she told them. Murder was a serious offence and if her father was found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life in jail. She shuddered to think what would become of her and her mother plus, the company would no doubt be affected by this.Over the years, Rita has come to learn that no one wanted to be associated with mu
His Identity Heard a secret
When she got to the Senator's house, everywhere was quiet, too quiet for comfort. She smiled politely to Louis who opened the large double doors for her. When she still lived under their roof, she had made a lot of friends with the domestic staffs."Good morning ma'am, it's really lovely to see you", Louis said, bowing slightly."Hi Louis, it's nice to see you too", Rita smiled.She was genuinely happy to see him. Louis had been a sort of companion even when she was still here."Thank you ma'am. You came to see Master Edmundo no?", he said.His Spanish accent was really obvious especially when he talked for a long period of time. Sometimes, Rita could hardly keep up with somethings he said due to his fast tongue."Urghh.. not quite but are the Brabra's home?", Rita said."Yes but I'm afraid things aren't looking good ever since the report came out about Edmundo's alleged murder", he whispered.His eyes darted about, fearing that he
His Identity Rodrigo was nearby
Rita left the Brabra's house with tears in her eyes. After Edmundo's conversation, she dashed downstairs, needing to be very far away from him. Now, she had a lot of evidence against him and she couldn't wait to put it in good use.First, she was going to break off her relationship with him before taking any other action against him. Now that she knew Rodrigo was alive, she was a bit confident to carry out her plans.She got downstairs, practically running towards the SUV. Ramirez could tell that something was definitely wrong with her especially with the agitated look on her face."Home, fast", Rita ordered.She wanted to catch her parents at home before they went for the charity dinner taking place downtown. Ramirez drove with all of his dexterity, sensing that whatever was going on was much ore serious than he thought.They soon got home under ten minutes as Rita climbed out of the car, running into the house. She met her parents in the living room
His Identity Rodrigo is back
The next day, Rita resumed fully at the office. She could see that a lot of changes had been made especially with the security system. Yasmin, her loyal secretary was now at the top floor, a few doors down from Rita's office. The other staffs of the organization each had a string of security men, stationed at strategic corners of the building.Rita's office was like a vault. The security system was improved and now, anyone who wanted to see her had to pass through both physical and mechanical screening. A device that read her fingerprints was designed and installed on her office door and she alone could access the office."Glad to have you back ma'am", Yasmin smiled.She had come upstairs to welcome her boss when she was sure she had settled down. She beamed as she took in Rita's appearance. She was glad to see that she was okay without any strain in her eyes."Yasmin, how have you been?", Rita smiled."Alright ma'am, thank you", she said."That's good
His Identity Truth
In all of her years of driving, Rita had never drove as recklessly as she did now. When Rita heard the news, she flew out of her office. Even the security men had a hard time tailing her with the way she drove like a banshee.All of Rita's mind was focused on getting to Senator Brabra's house on time. Rodrigo was back, she could hardly believe it. Not until she sees him, she wouldn't believe it. Rita suddenly slammed on the brakes of her car when she nearly ran over an old lady who was crossing the road."You need to have your eyes checked", the woman hissed before hobbling away.Rita sighed, apologizing to the woman who flipped the bird. Rita drove away, a bit more cautious than before.She got to Senator Brabra's house soon, parking her car haphazardly at the entryway. Rita ran all the way in, halting in her tracks when she saw a group of people in the living room. Senator Brabra and his wife Magdalene were seated and Rita could tell that there was a frigid atm
His Identity Edmundo is a bastard
In all of her life, Rita had never felt so tensed up as she felt now. The room was dead silent as the only noise that could be heard were the chirping of the birds outside.By now, Magdalene's face was no where near how it used to be. Senator Brabra on the other hand had an uncomfortable look as he looked everywhere else but Rodrigo.Rita couldn't believe that ever since, she had been in love with the legitimate son of the Senator. It was hard to believe but staring at them now, Rita could see the striking resemblance between the both of them."How, Wilson what is this nonsense he's saying?", Lawrence said, pacing.Rita had completely forgotten that her father was still around as her whole mind was centered on Rodrigo. For the first time ever, her mother was lost for words as she stared at the drama unfolding before her."Would you like to explain or I should do the honours?", Rodrigo smirked.Senator Brabra remained silent, staring like he had lost his
His Identity Happy forever
They got to Camille's house soon. Rita was surprised to see the cars that followed them all the way to her house. Rodrigo informed her that they were his, Rita was surprised but she loved this new him. Her parents went back home, promising to come by for dinner later in the Senator's house."Lord, I've missed this place", Rodrigo sighed.He and Rita occupied a car with two of the security details who sat in front."I'm sure she has missed you too", Rita said, snuggling in his arms.The car stopped in front of the driveway. Rodrigo climbed out of the car, pulling Rita with him. They made their way to the front door, Rita pressed the doorbell, waiting for a response.The door opened soon to reveal the beautiful face of Camille. When she saw who was with rita, her eyes widened."No... It can't be", she croaked."Mother", Rodrigo said, falling into his mother's waiting arms.Rita shed tears of joy at this reunion. She was moved to joined the
