Rita's POVHe has a girlfriend! He has a girlfriend!! He has a girlfriend okay?! I battled with my mind when I entered the room.So stop blushing and smiling stupidly at whatever he says. Finn is not being serious with you at all! He has a girlfriend and you have a boyfriend too! You have Zane! What is wrong with you Rita? "I don't know" I shieked like a crazy woman.I inhaled deeply then gasped out, picked up my phone to call Zane, probably I'll return to my right senses haven had a romantic conversation with him.But Zane's contact was unreachable, I dailed his number over and over again but to no avail.I clicked on Kikachat and scroll through so as to chat with Zane only to find out he was inactive and unavailable. This was so unusual of him neither did I wanna begin to panic yet. Zane will definitely reach out to me soon.While expecting him, I went into the kitchen to cook dinner also carried out few domestic chores as if I was trying to fasten time.Night time drew near quickl
Worker's Day Off ~ DAY TWO Last night, I sent Zane a long text expressing how I really felt about this relationship and I didn't expect him to receive the message anytime soon because neither did he reply my previous ones. But, I received a response from him the following morning. Thus; "I'm sorry. Rita, I need you to understand that this has to do with the Netherlands business task I informed you about the other day. I will be absent even more often" I heaved a deep sigh, Zane has gone AWOL again. "Okay, take your time" I didn't mean it though but what more can I say. Today is another lonely and boring day I guess… "I guess not" I hissed and brighten up my mood. I walked towards my closet and changed into a pretty outfit, brushed and styled my hair and applied really light make up. I didn't look like what I was going through, I looked beautiful. "Happiness is free after all and self love first they say isn't it? Ugh!!" I admired myself in the mirror and set to go out an
Rita's POV"Surprise! Happy birthday!!!" Evelyn and I screamed as she took off the blindfold.Adam was standing in front of a big cake."Woah!!" He was astonished, unsure of how to react. His eyes almost bulged out of the socket and his jaw dropped.Adam always forget his birthday date, so he never saw this coming and we can't blame him, guys do not fancy birthdays as much as we ladies. Evelyn would be dramatically screaming Oh My God! Oh My God!!"Today's my birthday" Adam muttered."iish! You never remember your birthdays Adam! You should always look forward to this very day and bless God for adding an extra year to your age" Evelyn scolded before wishing him: "Happy birthday to you my love, I hope and pray we celebrate more birthdays together" Then she kissed him on his lips affectionately."Happy birthday Adam" I said, when they were done, he spread his hands and I embraced him lightly."Thank you girls" He appreciated, gaily."Make a wish" Evelyn slightly pushed him to the front
Rita's POV We felt alive after the electricity coursing between our lips.As we pulled away, our eyes met and we couldn't help but smile. A smile that conveyed the realization that something special had just transpired.I gently wiped my lip gloss stained on his lips while he tucked the fallen strands of my ear to the back of ear."Come, let's return to the party" He got on his foot and I interlinked my arm with him as we walked back together.We uninterlocked our arms once we were standing in front of the entrance.Surprisingly, the guests have left. It wasn't a long night party anyways."Where have you two been?" Adam asked."Why would you just leave the party Rita?" Evelyn queried."You never even notice my absence" I rolled my eyes. She was all over her boyfriend today that she didn't have my time."Finn, I thought you left. It's late" Adam said."Ugh.. where's everyone? I can't believe party's over. I never even joined the party" Finn muttered."Oh well, since it's just we four
RITA'S POV"Rita, meet Madison, the maid" Finn introduced the lady who just served us breakfast."And Madison, this is Rita, my woman…" He looked at my face; "Uhm?"I smiled; "I am Rita, it's nice to meet you Madison" I spoke nicely to the young lady."You are so beautiful Miss" Madison complimented."Thank you" I felt flattered, especially because I just woke up and I wasn't wearing any form of make up."You're blushing, stop it!" Finn said when Madison left. Then he leaned closer and whispered: "Madison is either straight or a lesbian as she's not so sure of what gender he slash she is. So stop blushing, she or he might be interested in you" He said and I rolled my eyes."Come on, don't speak bad of her. She's human too. Is that what you tell everyone that visits you; 'My maid is a queer' " I quoted, imitating his voice."No, I don't gossip about people. I told you she's a queer because I'm jealous" He said and I chuckled as I began to eat."Hmmn, she is a good cook""Ye..ah, maybe
RITA'S POV The following day, I arrived at the company before Evelyn. I quickly began to sort out some files for the day so as to make our work easier and faster.Not too long after I've settled, the door opened and Adam walked in.“Good morning Adam”“Hello, good morning to you too” He responded.“Happy belated birthday to you” I waved.“And a big thank you to you guys” He appreciated.“Actually, Evelyn did the major part” I told him “But why is she not here yet”“She'll get here very soon” Adam said then he sat down on Evelyn's seat which was next to me.“You were drunk yesterday, thank goodness you got home safely” He said.“Yeah, uhm actually… Finn took me to his place, it might be worst if I had slept alone that night in such condition”“Then you could have slept over at my place since Finn wasn't gonna drive you straight up to your home” Adam said.“Well …” I paused, folding in my lips to hide the smile. “You're beginning to fall in love with Finn again?” Adam gave me a suspic
Rita's POV Sometimes, life throws us into situations where our hearts and minds don't align. It's another painful remainder that we cannot force love or feelings.Zane, Finn, Charles and now Adam. It's a lot for me to have four guys that are in love with me. I feel like It's left for me not to hurt their emotions at the expense of mine.Perhaps, Adam was also trying not to jeopardize our friendship. He didn't make any mention of the conversation we had earlier this morning, neither did I. Also, I noticed he was uncomfortable around me now.We ate at the Cafeteria in silence while I expected Finn to show up any moment. Finn's presence around me has a way of filling the air with excitement. I can’t just help but wonder where this new connection would eventually lead us to.I expected Finn but Charles came to join us instead.Phew!“Hello everyone” Charles greeted my friends perfunctorily and as usual, he sat beside me.Evelyn hissed, looks like she was expecting Finn to come pay for ou
“Rita doesn't seem to understand the fact that Zane is no more. She's so fvcking loyal and she thinks she's cheating on Zane by having a relationship with me. She has not totally forgotten Zane even when he's absent and a heartless snub towards her on Kikachat. Hmmn I gotta close down the Zane's account already!” Finn vented while he drove.He glared at Adam through the rear mirror when he didn't utter a word.“Why do you seem moody?” Finn inquired.Adam sighed heavily: “Rita thinks I'm interested in her”Finn chuckled: “What? Why? Did you dare make advances towards her?”“Yes, I did indirectly. Actually, I kept asking her about her relationship, now she has misunderstood”“Do not do that anymore. Rita and I are headed somewhere, I'm so sure of that now” Finn smiled, feeling so fulfilled and satisfied but then he suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Charles earlier that day.“Except that there's someone getting on my nerves” The encounter niggled at him.“That must be Charle
FINALE“We find love in unexpected places, trust me” Rita remarked after she and children had just finished watching a love movie."Oh wow, so that's how you met dad, in an unexpected place?” The sharp little boy who was named, Anthony blurted.Rita laughed softly as she snuggled deeper into the couch cushions, her kids perched on either side of her. "Indeed it was, my darling angels. Your father and I met at the same place of work” She briefly told them.The little boy furrowed his brow, still struggling to comprehend how his parents' love story began in such a mundane."Actually, we met before we met" Rita said, even making things more complicated for the children."Mom, I'm still having trouble picturing this," the little girl named Lily, who looked like her mom chipped in. "What kind of workplace was it? How do you mean you met him before you met him? What does that even mean?” She questioned."And how did you two even start talking?" Anthony added.The little children questioned
Epilogue 5:As Rita drifted off to sleep, a smile still lingering on her lips. Finn stood in front of the bassinet, gazing down at the two tiny bundles of joy. He reached out and gently ran his finger along the little boy’s cheeks, marveling at the softness of his skin, the delicate curve of his nose. He did the same for the little girl, admiring her dainty fingers and her rosebud lips; she looked like her mom while the baby boy looked like the father, Finn.He carried the little boy since he was awake and playful. He held their son in his arms and sat on the rocking chair next to Rita’s bed. He gazed down at the tiny baby, his heart bursting with love and wonder.All of Finn's previous doubts and fears about fatherhood had melted away, replaced by a fierce, all-consuming love for his children. He couldn't wait to watch them grow and develop, to be a part of their lives every step of the way. As he rocked his son gently, Finn thought about all the things he wanted to teach his child
EPILOGUE 4:Rita climbed the bed, wrapping her hands around her husband and resting her head on his chest as though she was meant to be there. Finn, on the other hand draped an arm around her stomach, gently touching her big baby bump.For a while, they remained in this position, a comfortable silence descending over them. Finn was never this quiet in bed. Was something bothering him?“What's wrong with you Finn?” Rita asked.Finn sighed heavily after staring at her for a while. Without uttering a word, he leaned into her to claim her lips but she pulled away.“What's bothering you Finn?” She asked again, her voice came out soft, laced with concern.For a moment, he was quiet but then, he spoke."Nothing," Finn replied with a weak smile. "I'm just a bit nervous about becoming a father. I mean, what if I'm not good enough? What if I mess up?"Rita laughed softly. "You're already the best husband and friend anyone could ask for. I have no doubt you'll be an incredible dad too. And remem

Epilogue 2:As everyone was sitting around the patio, Rita stood up and announced, "Finn and I have something to share with you all." The guests turned their attention to her, curious about what she was about to say.As the applause died down, Finn stood up next to Rita, beaming with pride. He looked around at their family and friends and said, "We're so happy to announce that we're expecting a new addition to our family.”With a grin on Rita's face, she lifted up her shirt to reveal a small but noticeable baby bump. “we're just so thrilled to be able to share this news with you all.”Evelyn suspended whatever she was doing and ran to embrace her best friend. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, congratulating the couple on their exciting news. Everyone began to chat excitedly, asking questions about the baby's due date, whether they knew the gender yet, and what the baby's name might be.“I and my husband has just scanned the baby, we are yet to check but then, we pleased and

Rita, dressed in a stunning white gown, was surrounded by her bridesmaids, included Evelyn, her few close friends and few nieces, all of whom were helping her to look her best. And Finn, in a sleek black tuxedo, stood at the altar, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his bride.Suddenly, the church doors opened, and everyone turned to see Rita begin her walk down the aisle.Finn walked to meet her on her way to the aisle, interlink his arms with hers and walked together with her.Everyone turned to watch the couple walk down the aisle.The priest continued with the ceremony, his voice booming throughout the church."Finn, do you take Rita to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"Finn, his voice filled
“So since you resigned, do you stay at home all day, doing nothing?”“Yeah, I already sent my application letter to some companies and I just hope one of them accepts me” Rita yawned.“Hmmn, I'm sorry about everything that happened to you” Evelyn said empathically.“Thank you Evelyn, I'm back to square one now”“Since you are searching for another job, are you as well considering moving on because you lost both a relationship and a job” Evelyn began to tease.“No Evelyn. I am done with love” Rita rolled her eyes.“Done with love? What the heck is that?”“Do not provoke me Evelyn!!” She warned by pointing a finger at her, reminding her of those days she badly wanted me to be in relationship and then Love messed me up.“Fine, at least you need to forgive Finn and get this grudge off your chest” Evelyn urged her.“And then the next minute, my nudes will be flying around the internet.. while his’ not there”“No such thing is gonna happen because Finn took them down already”“What?”“I mea
Tears rolled down Rita’s eyes and she kept on replaying the memories with Zane, comparing it with that of Finn and the fact that they turned out to be the same person was now glaring. Even when she tried to push the thought aside, she just couldn't. Why did Finn play games with her? Did he truly love her? Same Finn was Jared too.She had sent her resignation letter to his email and he had called and called. He had also been here, knocking and knocking on the door but she wouldn't open the door for him.She read their conversation over again on Kikachat and scrolled through the gossip/gist feed, thinking she’ll just bump into some of her nude pictures since Charles had said he would release it soon. While she was at it, the application suddenly began to glitch and malfunction and then, it finally crashed. Kikachat was no more.***“I did it! I did it finally!!” Alex announced, screaming.“You did it?”“Yeah, not only did I wipe the pictures, I took down the application”“Oh My God!”
“Finn is Zane”“What..what did you say? What? How can Zane be Finn? Can you even listen to yourself?” Rita shook her head continuously.“Finn himself will explain to you better”“You mean Charles is the nternet god, the popular founder of Kikachat?” Evelyn asked to confirm.“And Zane Is Finn?” I uttered unbelievably.“Remember I told you Zane and I are buddies at college, I recongised him the first day he stepped into his office. He told me what he was up to and wanted me to play along and that's why I was always concerned about your complicated relationship with Zane and with Finn because they are the same person…” Before Adam finished explaining, Rita stood up and dashed out of the restaurant quickly.****“Charles security is pretty tight” Alexander said as he battled with his laptop while Finn stood impatiently behind him.“Are you sure you don't need my help? I can help you get his laptop, passport, his signature or some of his important documents” Finn said.“No, I don't need an
