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. But please, you can't keep hitting yourself over him. I know he'll come backRelated chapters

"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. The women's expression was one filled with pity and Rita racked her head, trying to

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

A week after her visit to Theresa, Rita got the good news that Mateo was fully recovered. Theresa also informed her that she had told Marco about the baby and he was delighted to hear the news. 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. 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

"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. I'm fine now, please don't cry

"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

"Mateo's birthday is in three days", Theresa said over the phone the next day.Rita settled on her work chair at home, clutching her phone to her ear. She was gradually getting to the end of her workload and she could afford to relax when she was done."Ohh, why didn't you inform me earlier", Rita said."I know... I should have done that, I didn't want to disturb you knowing you'll be swamped with work", Theresa sighed."You know I'll never be too busy to help you out. You've been there for me Theresa even in times when I didn't expect it", Rita said."Now, you're making me teary. Okay, so you can still help me. I'm totally swamped with everything, the food, presents. I don't even know where to begin", Theresa whined."Okay... Okay, I'm coming over", Rita laughed."You're a life saver. But don't forget to come with Ramirez, I can't risk your life unnecessarily"."Sure, I'll come with him", Rita laughed."Whew... Thank you, see you later",

They got to Camille's house soon. Rita was surprised to see the cars that followed them all the way to her house. Rodrigo informed her that they were his, Rita was surprised but she loved this new him. Her parents went back home, promising to come by for dinner later in the Senator's house."Lord, I've missed this place", Rodrigo sighed.He and Rita occupied a car with two of the security details who sat in front."I'm sure she has missed you too", Rita said, snuggling in his arms.The car stopped in front of the driveway. Rodrigo climbed out of the car, pulling Rita with him. They made their way to the front door, Rita pressed the doorbell, waiting for a response.The door opened soon to reveal the beautiful face of Camille. When she saw who was with rita, her eyes widened."No... It can't be", she croaked."Mother", Rodrigo said, falling into his mother's waiting arms.Rita shed tears of joy at this reunion. She was moved to joined the
His Identity Edmundo is a bastard
In all of her life, Rita had never felt so tensed up as she felt now. The room was dead silent as the only noise that could be heard were the chirping of the birds outside.By now, Magdalene's face was no where near how it used to be. Senator Brabra on the other hand had an uncomfortable look as he looked everywhere else but Rodrigo.Rita couldn't believe that ever since, she had been in love with the legitimate son of the Senator. It was hard to believe but staring at them now, Rita could see the striking resemblance between the both of them."How, Wilson what is this nonsense he's saying?", Lawrence said, pacing.Rita had completely forgotten that her father was still around as her whole mind was centered on Rodrigo. For the first time ever, her mother was lost for words as she stared at the drama unfolding before her."Would you like to explain or I should do the honours?", Rodrigo smirked.Senator Brabra remained silent, staring like he had lost his

In all of her years of driving, Rita had never drove as recklessly as she did now. When Rita heard the news, she flew out of her office. Even the security men had a hard time tailing her with the way she drove like a banshee.All of Rita's mind was focused on getting to Senator Brabra's house on time. Rodrigo was back, she could hardly believe it. Not until she sees him, she wouldn't believe it. Rita suddenly slammed on the brakes of her car when she nearly ran over an old lady who was crossing the road."You need to have your eyes checked", the woman hissed before hobbling away.Rita sighed, apologizing to the woman who flipped the bird. Rita drove away, a bit more cautious than before.She got to Senator Brabra's house soon, parking her car haphazardly at the entryway. Rita ran all the way in, halting in her tracks when she saw a group of people in the living room. Senator Brabra and his wife Magdalene were seated and Rita could tell that there was a frigid atm

The next day, Rita resumed fully at the office. She could see that a lot of changes had been made especially with the security system. Yasmin, her loyal secretary was now at the top floor, a few doors down from Rita's office. The other staffs of the organization each had a string of security men, stationed at strategic corners of the building.Rita's office was like a vault. The security system was improved and now, anyone who wanted to see her had to pass through both physical and mechanical screening. A device that read her fingerprints was designed and installed on her office door and she alone could access the office."Glad to have you back ma'am", Yasmin smiled.She had come upstairs to welcome her boss when she was sure she had settled down. She beamed as she took in Rita's appearance. She was glad to see that she was okay without any strain in her eyes."Yasmin, how have you been?", Rita smiled."Alright ma'am, thank you", she said."That's good
His Identity Rodrigo was nearby
Rita left the Brabra's house with tears in her eyes. After Edmundo's conversation, she dashed downstairs, needing to be very far away from him. Now, she had a lot of evidence against him and she couldn't wait to put it in good use.First, she was going to break off her relationship with him before taking any other action against him. Now that she knew Rodrigo was alive, she was a bit confident to carry out her plans.She got downstairs, practically running towards the SUV. Ramirez could tell that something was definitely wrong with her especially with the agitated look on her face."Home, fast", Rita ordered.She wanted to catch her parents at home before they went for the charity dinner taking place downtown. Ramirez drove with all of his dexterity, sensing that whatever was going on was much ore serious than he thought.They soon got home under ten minutes as Rita climbed out of the car, running into the house. She met her parents in the living room
His Identity Heard a secret
When she got to the Senator's house, everywhere was quiet, too quiet for comfort. She smiled politely to Louis who opened the large double doors for her. When she still lived under their roof, she had made a lot of friends with the domestic staffs."Good morning ma'am, it's really lovely to see you", Louis said, bowing slightly."Hi Louis, it's nice to see you too", Rita smiled.She was genuinely happy to see him. Louis had been a sort of companion even when she was still here."Thank you ma'am. You came to see Master Edmundo no?", he said.His Spanish accent was really obvious especially when he talked for a long period of time. Sometimes, Rita could hardly keep up with somethings he said due to his fast tongue."Urghh.. not quite but are the Brabra's home?", Rita said."Yes but I'm afraid things aren't looking good ever since the report came out about Edmundo's alleged murder", he whispered.His eyes darted about, fearing that he
His Identity It's not true
A week had passed since the attack in Rita's office. She was grateful for being alive, grateful that despite everything she had faced, she could wake up each day and take in the morning air."Ramirez said it's okay to go back to the office now", Rita said over breakfast one morning."Are you sure? I don't want a repeat of that attack happening again", Lawrence said."I'm sure dad, it won't happen again. Besides, the man who did it is behind bars and wouldn't come out for a very long time", Rita said.Ever since she had gone to see Nicholas in his cell, she had been itching to tell her parents what he said. She didn't know what to expect if she told them. Murder was a serious offence and if her father was found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life in jail. She shuddered to think what would become of her and her mother plus, the company would no doubt be affected by this.Over the years, Rita has come to learn that no one wanted to be associated with mu

Rita knew she had to tell somebody about what she heard but she didn't quite know who to tell. The issue was a very sensitive one and there was no telling what would happen if the information fell into the wrong hands.As she thought about it, Camille's name popped in her mind. If there was one person she could trust, it was her. She was also sure of getting good advice from her on how best to handle the case.Rita picked up her phone, deciding to call the woman whom she could proudly call her friend."Hi Camille", Rita said, smiling into the phone."Oh, hello dear. How have you been?", she asked."I've been good. Please, I need to see you. Are you still in your friend's house", Rita said."Oh no, I got back to my house yesterday. Is anything the problem dear?",she asked."I'm afraid yes, I need to talk to you about something", Rita said."Oh my gosh! Is it Rodrigo?", she croaked."No... No, it's not Rodrigo", Rita said.She co

"I won't allow you to go see the bastard who almost gunned you down", her father seethed.Rita hadn't planned on informing him but she couldn't keep something like this from him. He deserved to know at least even though they really didn't see eye to eye on certain issues."I need to go Dad, i need to find out other things about this attack. I have a feeling that there's more to this. Please, I'll be okay. Remember, it's a police station and nothing can really go wrong there", she said.Lawrence sighed, there was really no arguing with his daughter especially if her mind was already made up."Okay, just be careful. Go with Ramirez and at the first sign of trouble, please get out of there", he said."I will, don't worry about me", Rita smiled.She left the house soon, followed closely by Ramirez and three of the security men who all wore frightening looks.Rita climbed the SUV while Ramirez manned the wheels. There was another escort car behind her a
