Rita’s POVI was restless throughout the rest of the day, I waited for closing hours impatiently, I just wanted to get home and have a heart to heart conversation with Zane. We returned from the lunch break, attended to clients like everything was fine. I wish I could fast forward time but then, before I knew it, it was finally time to go home.I didn’t exchange words with Evelyn and Adam, instead I quickly packed up my things into my bag and prepared to leave in a jiffy.I didn’t want Finn to come stop me again or says he wanna drive me home and end up talking about his feelings again. I don’t wanna hear any of that, I just wanna talk to my Zane about us. Poor Zane, poor me; I screamed in my head.“Uhm Rita, can we go home together like we used to?” Evelyn obstructed my way.“Sorry, I wanna walk alone” I turned her down without thinking twice.“Then can.. can I talk to you for a minute?” She asked.“About what happened at lunch? If it is, forget it” I told her.“ I am very sorry Rita
Rita’s POV“When will you be done with what you’re caught up with in Canada?” I literally stormed into his DM. I remembered he had told me that he was caught up with something and that’s why can not travel down here soon.“I am working here, you know” Zane replied.“Which means we won’t meet forever unless you are ready to lose your Job?” I cross-interrogated, grumbling and furrowing my brows like could see me.“What are you suddenly talking about Rita? I will come to the states during the winter holiday then return to Canada again and I might even take you along with me” He responded.“Winter is about seven months away” I reminded him.“Yeah, Love waits” He said.“Zane, this isn’t about love. This is about us!!!”“Talk to me. You seem to be bothered about something!” He sent then he switched to voice call.“Like you said, when we finally meet; we will start preparing to get married immediately when we haven’t even enjoyed our dating stage” I sounded very perturbed.“But we are enjoyi
“I have a mindblowing surprise for you” I texted Zane that morning while I was on my way to the office.After work today, I planned to visit the clothes supermarket and get some s*xy new lingeries. I assumed tonight will be really naughty and dirty but full of spice in my own language I smiled to myself as I walked happily into the office. As soon as Evelyn sighted me, she went her on knees.“Rita, forgive me. Yesterday, I was outta my sense. I am deeply sorry” She apologised.I rolled my eyes and stood at an akimbo angle: “You are being dramatic. Stand up already”“I spoke ill of you and your boyfriend, I shouldn't have done that” She whimpered.“Shh! It's enough. I am not offended” I tried to pull up her.“No, you are seriously offended. I know you pretend you are not upset whereas you are” She persisted.“Okay fine! I was angry yesterday. But just so you know, I am already used to the shitty things that comes out of your mouth. So get up already, I have forgiven you” I said. She s
Rita’s POVI had no other conversation with Finn that day neither did he leave his office at all, not even during lunch period; he didn't show up at the restaurant. Poor Mr CEO, he must cried his heart out but one thing I am so sure of is that he will get over it eventually because that's how unrequited love works.I remember when I lost all contact with Jared, it felt like a one - sided love. Imagine being in love with someone but unable to hear from him, talk more of being sure if he still feels the same way for you. It's like I was left alone in a relationship and I already got over him already, I moved on. Finn had better move on too. It's just a matter of time.“You’re really not mad that I literally caused this silent treatment between you and Finn” Evelyn asked again for the zillion time that day while we were waiting at the bus stop.“I will eventually get this silent treatment from him one day because I was gonna turn him down atlas and let him know that I have a boyfriend. Y
Rita’s POV“I don’t know what’s wrong with me Zane, my body is vibrating” I managed to send him a message even under such a condition.“You wanna see more? Deeper? Should I take off the panties?” Zane asked.“No” I replied immediately.“Why not?"“Zane, I am not myself at the moment. My body feels strange. I’m not sure of what I might do to myself if you show me more than just your abs” I typed, avoiding to use the rated private part words.“Alright, I am sorry” “I understand you Rita, you are almost Wet” He figured, mentioning that same word I found difficult to utter.I swallowed my saliva really hard; I couldn’t type anything.“Let us discuss something else, it will make you feel better. Infact, you will suddenly forget you once felt this way” He assured me.“I’m sorry Zane if I didn’t turn out to be the kind of nasty girl you want, maybe we could do this again but once in a blue moon. As in, I’ll surprise you, boom! with my s*xy pictures” I promised.“That sounds very romantic. I l
Finn reluctantly did like his brother had said; he hesitated a little before he resumed. “I figured Rita has a boyfriend so she won't date me” Finn cried out. “Oh! Your poor heart!” Alex consoled. “But you are the love doctor!” “Funny how I cannot solve my own love life yet I can predict when two people are meant for each other, I also know when someone is in love with me; but the look in her eyes says she doesn't love me one bit Alex. Rita is in love with someone else” “Sorry. Maybe it failed when it revealed to you that Rita is yours” Alexander indirectly redicled him “No” Finn barked. “It has never for once failed me. Maybe this means she will come back to me finally but this is so heartbreaking that she will waste precious time with her so called boyfriend but, I will make sure that she's mine, she mustfall in love with me” Finn stumped his feet against the ground. “Uhm, Okay. Let's see if you can do that" Alex doubted him. “And what are you still doing here?” Finn suddenly
Rita’s POVIt was Evelyn; I heaved a sigh of relief, somehow I thought it was Finn because he visited me last weekend.“Hello Bestie” Evelyn jumped into my arms.“Hi Evelyn” I responded sheepishly disengaging myself from her.“Why do you still look surprised to see me here, I already informed you earlier when I was at the nearest junction” She said.“You didn't inform me that you were already at the nearest junction, I thought you’ld arrive later in the day” I replied.My phone buzzed, it was Zane. He called to ask of who visited me.“It was Evelyn, I didn't know she will be here so soon. Talk to you later my love" We disconnected the call.“I’m guessing, you just finished speaking with Zane” Evelyn chipped in.“Of course, who else? We were gonna converse all day but looks like your presence here has disrupted our plan” I told her.“Oh sorry. I should not be here too but Adam’s out. I don't know where he went to and besides, it’s been a while I came over to your place. You don't have
Rita’s POVI spoke to an immigration officer later that day whom rendered a detailed procedure on how to travel to my preferred country. I had also paid every single dime he demanded for in order to make the means rapid since I really wanted to be in Canada this week or latest during the weekend.I kept it a secret away from Zane while we had our usual random chat and somehow, he observed that there was something I didn't wanna reveal but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.“You have been a little tensed since Evelyn left your place, why?” He inquired.“Really? Tensed? I don't know what you’re talking about Zane. I am only just being myself” I buffed.“Nope sweetheart, there is something you are not telling me. Why did Evelyn come visiting? What did she say to you?” He asked.“Oh stop tryna poke nose! Evelyn and I discussed about girly stuff, I am so glad she came over here today” I said.“Hmmn” He maffled.“You think it has something to do with you?”“I don't know” He answered.“No it d
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 3:A few months had passed since Madison and Alex's engagement at Finn and Rita's gender reveal party, and now it was time for their wedding day. The sun shone brightly as Madison walked down the aisle towards her soon-to-be husband, looking radiant in her beautiful white gown.Alex waited at the altar, beaming with joy and anticipation as he watched his bride approach. He thought back to the day they met, and how he'd fallen in love with her from that moment on.As Madison reached the altar, she took Alex's hand in hers, and together they turned to face the officiant. The ceremony began with a heartfelt exchange of vows, each expressing their undying love and commitment to one another.As they exchanged rings, the crowd burst into cheers and applause, their love for the newlyweds evident in their smiles and tears.The party was in full swing, with guests dancing and celebrating, their happiness for the newlyweds filling the air.

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
Epilogue 1Ding Dong Ding! The church bells began to ring, signaling the start of Finn and Rita's wedding ceremony. A sense of excitement filled the air. 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
