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
The tension was palpable! Our breath entwined, savoring the feel of our lips against each other while he ran his hands down my back and grabbed my butt. S*x could be enjoyed even in the most unconventional moment. Without breaking the kiss, Finn carried and took me to my bedroom like he's been there before. Carefully, he placed me on the bed, letting me lay on my back. He knelt on top of me as he began to unbutton his shirt. I assisted him. Removing his shirt, my jaw dropped as I gulped hard. Finn had a familiar seemingly perfect body with chiseled abs and defined muscles. I traced my fingers along the lines and curves of his chest. He looked into my eyes, the same gaze he gave the last time we were positioned this way at his place ~ like he wanted me to give him a go ahead sign but before I answered, he lifted my chin and our lips locked again. A slight moan escaped my lips as my breathe began to cease. Doesn't he understand that my body wanted more? I was so down. I broke th
Finn's POVI slept over at Rita's place just to make sure that she felt good and secured around me.The following day, I urged her to stay at home and have enough rest because of the pain she passed through the previous night.Afterall, no one else was gonna query her for not showing up at work promptly. I'm the CEO of the company she works at!Instead of heading to the office right away, I visited my mom instead. It's been a while I saw her, how bad of me not to have reached out earlier.I shushed the gate keeper and maids not to announce my arrival and the maids carried the few presents I got while they led the way to the yard where my mom sat on the swing sofa, drinking and merrying all alone.“Surprise!” I caught her attention.I spread my arms, like she was gonna jump on me but she didn't even make any move.“Look who remembers that he has a mom” She scorned.“Uh…ugh! Are you not happy to see me?” I moved closer to embrace her instead.The maids left us alone.“Your brother told
Rita's POV I expected a call or text from Zane because I left him hanging the previous night after telling him that I was so horny but he didn't reach out to me. Instead of feeling remorseful that I have cheated on Zane, I felt excited and eager to end things with him and probably apologize for leaving him.I picked up my phone and dailed his number. Unfortunately, it was unreachable.I clicked on Kikachat app only to find out that Zane has closed down his account and profile.What? I was shocked.I couldn't contact him, I couldn't send him a message, I couldn't reach him.This reminds me of how Jared and I relationship came to an abrupt end. Although, I was about to break up with Zane but definitely not this way, we could still be casual friends afterall Zane played a big role in my life.Let's just conclude that something went wrong with him for now and he'll be back on Kikachat in the mean time.The thought about last night recapped in my mind,and put a big smile on my face. I s
Finn’s POVVanessa leaned forward and smiled. “Don't you miss me?” She whispered.“Miss you?” I scoffed, tilting my head away from him. “What the heck! Bold of you to say that. It's not like there was anything special between us. We were never in a relationship, now get that into your skul!l” I moved away.“No darling. We fvcked. Didn't we?” She uttered discreetly and smirked. “Not once, not twice, not three times. You were always looking for me once you got to the club, I am the only one that satisfied your s*xual urge” She pointed, looking down like I wasn't putting on trousers.“Shhhh! You have become my past now Vanessa” I shushed “You were never a relationship material, nor are you a marriage material. I didn't even know that you came from a great great background, you were always at the hotel or club, ready for hook up and ready for one night stand with some Mr Anonymous” I tackled her but she didn't feel a single hint of shame.“And what about you? You are the CEO of this compa
CHAPTER 79RITA’S POVI broke the silence while we had lunch, I cleared my throat and announced; “Breaking news guys! Zane and I are done. It's officially over between us”The cutlery fell off Evelyn's hand in shock: “Huh, what?”“It is what it is” Adam mumbled.“Oh My God Rita, this really hurt right?” Evelyn came to sit beside me, she placed her hand over my neck, trying to console me “Actually, I am fine” I told her. “I am totally fine, it was a happy break up, no heartbreak”“Why? How? Did you break up with the poor guy?” She questioned.“Hmmn, actually. I was gonna end the relationship because I got fed up of him, I completely fell out of love with Zane”“Oops!” Evelyn opened her mouth in awe and covered it with her palm.“If you were in shoe, you would understand better. But then, before I broke up with him, Zane already shut down his Kikachat account”“What?” Adam and Evelyn exclaimed.“Yeah, he did. His phone number has been blocked too, chat closed, so I haven't heard from Z
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.

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
