"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

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

"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. Her father was on the phone with someone and when he saw her, tears of joy streamed down her eyes.Rita had never seen him cry before and seeing him now broke her

"Ma'am, we've been able to get some information concerning the attack", Ramirez said over the phone the next day.Rita was just preparing to have an online meeting with some investors when Ramirez's call came in."Shoot", Rita ordered."First, we discovered that he has no email, no bank accounts linked to him. The only thing we linked to him was a phone number we traced to a burner phone", he said.It wasn't much but Rita was grateful for their help. It made her feel much better after hearing this information."Thank you", Rita said."You're welcome ma'am. We also discovered he used a jamming system that prevented us from coming to rescue you on time"."Oh my gosh! I guessed as much because I wondered why you guys didn't arrive on time", Rita sighed."Not to worry ma'am, he'll be behind bars for a long time", Ramirez assured her."Thank you, for all your help", Rita smiled into the phone."Anytime ma'am. I'll call you when I get anot

"So I've already arranged for the props and food but we need to get the decorations but I have no idea how to", Theresa said."That's easy, I have some people who do stuffs like this and the good thing is they owe me a favour", Rita smiled."Oh goody! That's great, that's settled then. Let's move to the number of guests we'll be inviting, personally I don't want to invite a lot of guests" Theresa said."I agree especially with the way things have turned out these past few days, I don't really support we having a lot of guests", Rita said."True. So, would twenty guests be okay?"."That sounds good, twenty it is", Rita said, crossing off the number on her jotter."That's settled. All we need to do now is prepare for twenty guests. I'll send out some invitations to these guests so they'll know beforehand", Theresa smiled."So, who are these guests? Anyone in particular?", Rita asked, tapping on her phone."Just some of Mateo's school friends and
