Stupid Man
Rita got to her room soon, slamming the door before she finally shut it. She couldn't believe what just happened. She took calming breaths as she tried to settle her raging heart threatening to burst out.
"Stupid man and his stupid family", Rita muttered.She stripped down her clothes as she made her way to the bathroom. She needed a cold shower if she wanted to feel sane again. As the water cascaded down her body, so did the tears. This was the time she really needed Rodrigo but he was out of her reach and there was nothing she could do but wait till he returns.When she was done, she got out as she wrapped a towel round her body. She made her way to the wardrobe, picking out a light dress gown. She combed her hair, styling it to the side of her face. Just then, she heard a light knock on the door. Rita decided to ignore the knock and simply pretend like she wasn't in the room.The knock persisted and she was forced to answer. She discovered it was Louis who wasRelated chapters

The following day, Rita was at work when she got a call from Francis. Her heart raced, her thoughts going wild."Hello", she croaked."Miss Anderson... I have some news", Francis said."Go... Go on", Rita stuttered.She didn't know what she'll do if they reported that Rodrigo was dead. There was no doubt about she would join a convent rather than getting married to a pig like Edmundo."The subject was sighted in a remote village on the outskirts of the country", he said."Are you sure about this?" Rita asked.She couldn't afford her hopes to be raised again only to have them dashed. She loved Rodrigo too much to play with her heart."We're still looking but we're certain he's the one we saw" Francis said."Okay.. okay, I hope so. Please keep me posted the minute you get anything", Rita said."Will do", Francis said before cutting the call.Rita relaxed back on her chair, toying with her pen. If it was certified that Rodrigo was

The dinner party was the following day and Rita was so not in the mood to attend. Asides going to see Rodrigo's friends, she had nothing else to do but she still didn't want to attend. The only consolation she had was that she would be going back to her home when the party was over."Hey girlfriend", Theresa chirped the over the phone."Hi", Rita said.Everyday of her not seeing Rodrigo had her worried. Nothing interested her anymore and the only reason she got up each day was with the hope that she would find him soon."Oh come on, don't tell me you're still down. Rita, I've told you times without number, Rodrigo would come back and I'm sure he's fine. Please don't get worried over him", Theresa said."Do you know what it means to love, what it means to love someone wholeheartedly and then it person just disappears", Rita croaked."Trust me darling, I know how you feel.

"Hey girlfriend, I'm almost at your house", Rita said, clutching the phone on her ear as she drove."Okay, I'll be out soon", Theresa said.Ramirez, the body guard she decided to bring along sat beside her. Rita knew he was armed and she hated to think what would happen if they had a confrontation of any kind.Rita got to Theresa's house soon, parking beside the huge imposing gates. Her house was more like a mansion, with huge imposing pillars supporting the structure of the house. Soon, Theresa walked out. She could easily pass off for a model and one would hardly know she was married and already had two children with one on the way.Theresa had informed Rita about her pregnancy the last time they saw. She hadn't informed her husband yet and what waiting till the baby was a little bigger before she does. She climbed into car, patting Ramirez on the shoulder before smiling at Rita."Let's hit the road baby", Theresa whooped.She was always the crazy typ

The dinner party was one of the most boring parties Rita had ever attended. Maybe because she wasn't interested in anything they did but couldn't tolerate the fake guests and their fake smiles and attitudes. She was desperately looking for a way to escape their grasp when Magdalene chose that moment to drag her away to meet one of their numerous friends.Rita groaned as she tried to smile while putting on her best behavior but it was impossible with the way the elderly woman was pinching her cheeks, gushing over how beautiful she was."Meet Rita, my son's fiancee", Magdalene said."Fat chance", Rita muttered before smiling sweetly at the woman."How are you my dear", the woman said."I'm fine ma'am, thank you. I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name", Rita said."Oh, my manners. I'm Mrs Robinson", she smiled.It was then Rita noticed the young woman standing beside her.

Rita woke up the next morning, planning to see Camille whom she hadn't seen for a while. After the dinner party the previous day, Rita moved out of Senator Wilson Brabra's house. Much to her satisfaction, Magdalene didn't make a fuss about her staying. It seemed to her that she was just as willing to let Rita go which she was thankful for.Rita got up from her bed, making her way towards the bathroom to do her toilet business. When she was done, she placed a call to Camille to see if she would be home."Hi, Camille good morning. How are you doing?", Rita said, smiling into the phone."Hello dear, I'm alright. How are you?", she asked."Quite well, thank you. Would you be at home, I was planning on seeing you today"."Oh dear, I'm not home. I'm at my friend's on the outskirts of town. I was feeling alone and decided to stay with her for a while", she said.Rita was secretly bummed that she didn't call her to keep her company but she reasoned that she mig

Rita was happy that her friend's life was getting back in shape after the bumpy episode.Rita was currently in her office, going over the file that Yasmin had brought her earlier on. It seemed as if whenever she got to the office, she was loaded with files of different sort. Each file wanted to seek her permission about something ranging from a meeting to a party down to a contract.Sometimes, she barely had time for herself and with the issue of Rodrigo which weighed her down, it was nearly impossible."Ma'am, an investor is here to see you", Yasmin said.Rita groaned, she needed a break from everyone who wanted to see her. It seemed as if she was the only one against all of them."Okay, please send him in", Rita said.Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"All done, you're really lucky it wasn't a superficial wound. Just a graze, I'll prescribe some painkillers for you to use and you'll be alright", the doctor smiled.She was a young woman and Rita suspected that they were the same age. She smiled, thanking the young woman before she left with Ramirez who took the lead."Just drive me home, I need to rest", Rita said.She felt tired all of a sudden as Ramirez drove her home. She was on the brink of loosing it but she held on. She was a fighter and a good one at that. She wouldn't allow the circumstances surrounding her to weigh her down.When Ramirez got to her house, he parked the car in front of the double doors. He ushered her in, leading her by the arm because she felt suddenly dizzy. When she got to the living room, she met her parents pacing.

"I heard about the attack", Camille said.Her call was the first thing Rita received the following morning. Rita smiled into the phone, touched by her care. She felt a bit stupid for not answering all her texts and calls the previous day. She wasn't in the mood to answer anyone until she cleared the questions that had been burning her in mind since the attack."It was horrible", she croaked.Rita was still feeling a bit dizzy from the drugs she had taken and the only way she could talk was due to her headache reducing a notch."I'm sorry, are you alright now", Camille said.Rita could tell that she was worried from the tone of her voice. She didn't want her to be since she was trying to be strong ever since Rodrigo disappeared."I am now. It was just a graze, nothing much", Rita smiled into the phone."I'm glad it wasn't more than that. I was so worried about you yesterday", Camille sobbed."Oh please, don't cry.
