Rio, however, isn't happy, he has gone back to his old self.He barely spoke to anyone as he locked himself in his bedroom.His mother had tried talking to him but it didn’t help as it didn’t change anything. He had begun to skip meals not caring what would happen if he continued living that way.He had only pretended to be happy when Riley was around him, she had asked him what the matter was some days and he had put on a smile telling her he just felt a bit sleepy and needed rest.She had no idea of what had happened, she had been happy when he told her she would be getting a new mom and she found out Anita was going to be her mom. She was filled with excitement as she jumped up.Rio had felt some sort of emptiness since he let her go. He knew she had pretended to use him to get her books signed but he couldn’t get her out of his head.He found himself daydreaming calling her name as he jumped up from his bed.Unable to move on as he felt a major part of him had been destroyed.
The third day had finally come. Three days sentence seemed like a year as each passsing day brought her extreme pain and torture.Her cell mate didn’t spare her as he made good use of her.“Finally” she said when the warden came to take her out.The warden had opened her cell and taken with her cell mate giving her a deep stare as if she meant watch your back.Anita had refused to follow her rules. Her cell mate had not been able to take no for an answer and sent a heavy punch to her stomach which made her pass out.The immediate attention of the jail nurse was called on as she was rushed there.Her cell mate was not left unpunished as she was locked in the isolation room for hours as if that would make her act any better as she spat on the shoes of the police officers who had used to take her in the isolation room as she proved difficult.“Breath of fresh air” She said as she stepped out, she was glad to be out of jail.Three days of jail time had taught her a lesson she would never
Gracie didn’t like the current situation of things,her once cheerful friend had now turned to a shadow of herself.She had been pained to see tears roll down her cheeks as she told her of everything that had happened to her.Interested in her friend's happiness,she started her car and set off for the main road heading towards Rio’s house.She had the intention of giving him her piece and letting him know the truth about everything.She arrived at Rio's house and knocked on the gate. Tired of knocking without response she pushed it open and it opened to her surprise.She walked in headed straight for the door.A single knock and Mimie came out of the house.She was shocked to find Mimie there, she had gone with the intention to talk some sense to Rio but she had ended up being blocked by Mimie who stood in front of the door.“Please I’m here to see Rio” she had spoken softly telling Mimie who didn’t seem to care about why she was here.“He’s not here” She replied as she rolled her eyes
Rio felt completely stupid after he found out the truth, he was angry at himself for how he had treated Anita.He threw out of the house even when she had begged him,he had not given her the opportunity to explain things on her own.Feeling confused,he sat on the floor.Gracie had left him after she gave him a piece of mind which was her initial plan. She told him how Anita had regretted her actions and how she had planned to tell him earlier but didn’t get the opportunity. She told him how she had run away from her abusive parents,believing she had love waiting for her back here.“She gave up her life for you,Rio” Gracie shouted, pained by her friend's attitude.Anita had been guilty of using him to get her books published but she had fallen in love with him for who he truly was and couldn’t get him out of her mind.She pleaded with hun to reconcile with her as she had become a shadow of her own after she mentioned she had just got out of jail.He had been shocked when he heard she h
Rio had finally gotten the opportunity to talk to Anita as he came earlier than before.He had been determined to meet with her,he had set an alarm to wake him in case he slept off like he had done before.He had gotten to her house before the sun came out. He came down from his car quietly not wanting to disturb people who still slept.He knew Anita to be an early bird, he knocked on the door softly and she opened it.She had shut the door back as she saw his face but he was faster than her as he used his leg to hold back preventing the door from being shut.She left him and went back into the apartment with him following from behind and shutting the door behind him.He went to his knees immediately and shut the door,crawling to where she sat.Rio had come up with a plan he assumed was perfect, he was ready to do anything to do anything to win her back.“Babe,I’m sorry” He apologized,as he stretched his hands to touch the hem of her night wear.Anita, not interested in what he had to
Rio who felt down after Anita had asked him to leave.She deserved every right to be mad at him but he didn’t expect her to toss him out of her house like he was a nobody.His mood changed, he had been eager to see Anita as he had not seen her since he pushed her away out of his house.He remembered how she dragged her by the left wrist out after he had collected his ring.“He should have just let her walk out on her own” He said under his breath rather than embarrass her the way he did.He felt his own world had finally come to an end, as his love was a huge mess. He couldn’t think and reason well.He had suffered heartbreak but it had not been worse as been rejected by the one he loved.It was written all over his face that he passed through pain as it was eating him up from inside.He had no one to confide in as he barely had friends. He had always loved to be on his own,not mingling with other people.He became his own person shutting himself out from the face of earth after his
Rio was hell bent on making Anita stay, he was determined to do anything to make her change her mind.The broom he held had dropped from his hand,immediately he heard of her plans to go back to her parents.He had gone down on his knees immediately begging her to change her mind.Anita who didn’t enjoy the attention he was drawing to her held his hands and took him up.She asked they talk after she was done with her community service for the day as that was the only time he was willing to leave his kneeling position.Both seated, in his car after she was done, he pleaded with her to change her mind and have a rethink on the decision she made.He didn’t want her to go back to her parents who did nothing but abuse her at any opportunity they got.Gracie had briefed him of the treatment she got from her parents and he knew it would be worse if she returned because she had gone against them and ran away.“Please don’t go, I’ll do anything you want.” He pleaded with Anita who sat beside him
Things had finally started to go back to how it was. They had both gotten back together and Anita had forgiven and accepted to marry him.They had gone public to announce their engagement, but the news didn’t sit well with some people as they heard about it.Rio had sent Anita a message to get ready as he was coming to take her to inspect the house he had picked out, he wanted her to take on the house.He had assured her he would make other options if she didn’t love the one he showed her.Anita, phone beeped and she opened the message which had appeared on her phone. She read the message with so much joy in her heart.She was excited about the direction her life had gone. She had almost lost hope, giving up on everything.A crazy idea popped into her head as she read the message,she quickly took a picture of the dress she had picked out and sent it to him.She wanted him to get a sneak peak at what she had picked out.Rio smirked when he saw the picture she had sent him,he couldn’t
Rio had gone all out to make sure the wedding was the talk of the town, he had hired a well known wedding planner to handle everything that would be needed.Anita had opted to give a helping hand but he didn’t approve of it. He had not still recovered from the shock of almost losing her.He had made her move into the house he stayed with his mother and daughter pending the time they got married. Heavy security was always on patrol at the house as he had given strict information about the visitors that were to be allowed in.Anita’s parents were not left out of the huge wedding preparations as they had spared nothing in looking their best for their daughter's wedding.Their only daughter was getting married so it required everything they went for, it was a joyous celebration in both families. They all spent time preparing and getting ready for the church event as they had little time on hand, Tears rolled down Mrs Dowell cheeks when she saw her daughter all dressed in her white wedd
The day everyone had waited for had finally come as it was the day the court had fixed for hearing.Everyone had come to listen to the pronouncement of the judge, Rio, Anita,Stacie and Gracie were all in attendance.Gracie had come along with her fiancé to show support for them as he hadn’t seen her since she got out of the hospital.Gracie smiled as she introduced him to everyone as they all congratulated her.Mimie was not left out with the guy who had rescued her, he had been supportive, helping her out with everything she needed. He had not left her side since he rescued her seeing she got what she needed, he made it his responsibility to bring her coffee daily from his shop as she loved it from the very day she tasted it.They were all seated together waiting for judgment to be passed.Bianca walked into the courtroom escorted by guards, Mimie had gotten violent immediately she laid her eyes on her. She wanted to take her own pound of flesh that instant,making her goin through th
Anita had finally regained consciousness, she had stayed unconscious for days after she was rescued from the abandoned warehouse.Her bruises and cuts were treated properly so as to avoid infection. Some of her bruises were wrapped in bandages as she bled excessively from some parts.She had been rushed in with blood flowing from the injuries she had sustained at the warehouse as Bianca had shown no mercy as she whipped her on a daily basis venting out her anger on her for stealing her man for the second time.She suffered a slight memory loss but the doctor had assured her it would return but slowly as she needed to give her body the rest it deserved.Rio had walked in while the drugs administered some pills to relieve her of the pain she felt in her head. “Rio!” She called out excitedly, she had been so happy to see him.Sitting on the hospital bed,she hugged him so tightly as she had missed and given up on seeing him again.She told him what she had gone through in the abandoned
Rio ran towards Anita and untied her from the chair.The police had immediately called for backup and sent for an ambulance.Sounds of sirens filled the air as police cars and an ambulance arrived in the area.Rio rushed out of the building with Anita in his hands, the medical team took her from him and took her into the ambulance and laid her on the little bed they had in with Rio following from behind.He had refused to take his eyes from her, the medical team had insisted he come along in another car but he had proved stubborn and wouldn’t listen.Seeing how crucial the matter was they allowed him as they couldn’t risk her dying because of his stubbornness.The police had surrounded the area, they knew the kidnapper hadn’t gone far as it was just a warehouse in the middle and nothing else.The police had divided themselves into groups going into the warehouse to search for the kidnapper.A group of police officers who had gone in search for the kidnapper had found a lady seated at
Rio collected the card from the detective, he had told the detective that money wasn’t the problem, that he was willing to pay any amount as long as he got his wife back.He thanked the detective for coming to his rescue as they both parted ways as Rio dropped him off at a nearby park and drove off.Rio had not gotten home when he contacted the private investigator, he didn’t have that patience and he felt time wasn’t on his side given the time the police had wasted assuring him of finding her while they did nothing.He dialed the private investigator’s number but he got no response,not giving up he tried again.“Hello” the voice from the other side answered.The private investigator had finally answered the phone.“Are you Rio?” The private investigator asked.The detective had informed him already on how he had shared his contact with him. “Yes,yes I am.” Rio answered as he parked his car properly.He had started his car to drive back home as he got no reply when he dialed his numb
Rio had gone to the police station to rant,he was angry with the way the police had handled the case. They weren’t really putting in their best to find Anita.He shouted non stop at everybody who was present causing an unnecessary scene at the station He began to throw things,breaking anything he could lay his hands on.The police had tried to calm him down,two of the officers had held him down to prevent him from destroying their properties but Rio broke free from their grip and continued destroying everything he could lay his hands on.He had anger written all over his face, he paid no attention when they had tried to calm him down. They had tried talking to him,but he gave them deaf ears.It had been days since Anita went missing and he had gotten no news about her. They had always said the same thing when he came over to the station to make enquiries.He had become impatient as he couldn’t keep up with their words that didn’t produce results.Thoughts ran through his head every
Anita yawned as her stomach rumbled. She had been tied to a chair in an empty room,she was hungry and tired.Her stomach made more noises, she had not eaten anything. Her kidnapper finally brought in food as she requested.Anita had begged her non stop for food or water as she felt light headed and could pass out anytime due to the weakness of her body.Anita had been in her apartment, holding the dress she had planned to wear. She had wondered how the look on Rio’s face would be after she sent him a teasing picture of her dress.She had been busy reflecting on how her life had changed for the better,she couldn’t believe she was getting a new house of her choice when she heard a knock on the door m.“Who’s there?” She had asked from inside “Delivery, you have a delivery ma’am”The voice answered from outside the door.She had not placed an order on anything and she wasn’t expecting anything from anyone. She had assumed it was from Rio as he had spoiled her silly gift since they got b
The police had contacted Anita’s parents requesting their presence, they had informed them about their daughter’s kidnap.They were asked to report to the station for questioning as they had on the list of prime suspects.Her mother had screamed out loud when she heard her daughter had gone missing. She couldn’t help but wonder why her daughter had to be kidnapped.The same question which lingered through everyone’s mind when they heard of her disappearance crossed hers.She knew her daughter never got involved in anything shady as she was an open book who spoke her mind when something didn’t sit well with her.She didn’t speak about her daughter often again after she ran away from home but she could vouch for her when it was important.They didn’t hesitate to obey the instructions they were given as they both jumped out of the house and drove straight to the airport to get on the next plane.They were lucky enough to get a flight that was going to New York in an hour,seated on a chai
The police had drawn their suspect list as they had two names on their list.They had worked with the testimonies that Rio and his family had given.They had made Mimie their number one suspect as they had quite a number that testified against her.Gracie had given them enough reasons why she had kidnapped Anita.Mimie had seemed desperate with all that had happened,she had endlessly not given up on throwing herself on Rio who hadn’t failed to put her at her place every time she came.Dragging your fellow woman to court had been the least expected thing from Mimie because of a man.Rio had constantly told her off as he would never be interested in seeing someone like her.Stacie,Rio’s mother, had explained how she had manipulated them on different occasions, making them do things against their will.She had once threatened to drag them to court accusing them of being responsible for her disability.Mimie and Anita’s parents were the names on their lips as they had seen every reason t
