Missed me already?

"I'll be traveling to Los Angeles tomorrow", Rita said over dinner the following evening.Earlier, she had already informed Edmundo who never failed to hide his displeasure about her plans on going with Rodrigo. She didn't care about what he thought and the only reason why she informed him was just for formality sake.She planned on leaving very early tomorrow morning with the private jet. Los Angeles was quite far and she wanted to get there as soon as possible."Alright darling, have you informed the pilot?",her father said, cutting into his chicken."Yes, I sent him a message earlier today and he assured me that the plane would be ready by morning", she said, munching on her food."Who are you going with? Yasmin?",her mother asked."No, Rodrigo", she simply said."Why him? Why aren't you going with Yasmin?",her mother said, dropping her fork noisily."With all due respect mother, whoever I decide to take is really none of your business", sh

A safe Landing

Few hours later, the jet touched down Los Angeles. Rita heaved a huge sigh of relief when they finally left the plane. Ever since she was a young girl, she's been so terrified of planes, always wanting to take the bus or a private car if she could help it. Now, her phobia for the big bird was reduced.As they walked towards a private car that was already parked, waiting beside the airport, Rita breathed in the cool air of Los Angeles. This would be one of the numerous times she had visited the city. A distant family, now dead used to live here and every time she went on a holiday, she always made sure she visited."This is my first time visiting the state", Rodrigo chuckled.He manned the wheels as they drove towards the city center. From his words, Rita had a feeling that he didn't go out that much. She felt sad about this, knowing that he had the dream of traveling round the world but the resources to make it work was limited."Have you visited any other countr

A Nagging feeling

"But don't you think that's dangerous. I mean, Gabriel has his own security detail and anything that seems suspicious might set him off", Rita said.She didn't really like the idea but Rodrigo was right. If they wanted to get whoever is behind this, Gabriel was their first suspect."We don't need to announce what we're doing. We need to be subtle, we should leave no trace behind. I have some guys who can be of help".For a minute, Rita looked at him. Sometimes, Rodrigo brought out different facets of his character. For the life of her, she couldn't understand how Rodrigo was associated with these people."No, no. It's not what you think, these guys were of help when my sister was still with that douchebag. They helped me track her down when she went missing for a while only to discover that she was with the kid in an hotel so yeah, I think I trust them", he said."I'm sorry, I just have some trust issues especially with people I don't know", she chuckled.

He saved my life

Rita made her way to the restroom, oblivious to the hooded figure trailing her. The figure walked stealthily, keeping his distance away from his prey. He had a job to do and he wouldn't fail his master.Rita walked into the restroom, doing her business. When she was done, she walked to the sink which was outside. She washed her hands while adjusting her makeup. When she looked up, she was startled upon seeing the figure which was pointing a gun on her head."Who are you?",she asked.She secretly congratulated herself on how controlled her voice was. She wouldn't show fear as that would only make her look weak and helpless. She had no way to call Rodrigo, she could only hope that he comes in soon."No one. It would be in your best interest if you follow me quietly. Don't make any sound or I'll blow your head off", he said.Rita gulped, hoping against hope that Rodrigo would come in that minute. The figure led her through the back doors of the building. Oblivi

There was more

The next morning, Rita left for the airport in company of Rodrigo who was sticking close to her, damning the consequences. He ushered her into the car, shutting the door while looking around. Ever since the incident, Rita could tell that he's been paranoid, on the way to loosing it."Hey, look at me", she whispered, gripping his hand.He looked at her, keeping one eye on the road. He seemed to relax at her touch and smiled easily as the car journeyed towards the airport."I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. As long as I have you, I know I'll be fine. I wouldn't want your mother to see you like this", she said."You just have a way with words. Okay, as long as you're okay, I'm okay", she smiled.They soon got to the airport and as usual the plane was ready to leave. Rita couldn't imagine that few days ago, she was at this same airport, happy that she would finally be getting away only to have her happiness cut short by the shooting."I'm sorry fo

What do you want?

The next day at work, Rita's table was filled with flowers of all sorts. At first, she thought Rodrigo was behind this but she remembered he wasn't rich enough to afford these flowers. She took one of the flowers, reading the note that accompanied it. Her second guess was correct, Edmundo was behind it."Trash them", she said to Yasmin who had followed her all the way up.Yasmin gulped, struggling to obey this instruction. She didn't have it in her to waste such beautiful flowers which she was sure must have cost a whole lot of money."Ma'am, are you sure?", She asked, picking one of the flowers."Yes, I'm sure. Now, do as you're told and let me be", she said, dismissing her."Alright ma'am. Please be reminded that you have a meeting with your chaffeur by ten and the investors from the Pearl bank by twelve noon", Yasmin said, walking out of the office with a large bouquet of flowers.Rita settled in her chair, closing her eyes for a minute. Rodrigo had

Knew her weakness

Rita couldn't believe this was happening to her. She couldn't travel with Edmundo when she was so close to nabbing the thief who had been stealing from her company coupled with the fact that she was yet to discover who was behind that attack in Los Angeles. Rodrigo couldn't do it all alone, he needed her and there was no way she would leave him alone."I'm sorry, I can't go. I have so many things to do here that requires my attention", she said as politely as she could."There would be no excuses Rita. You must go with me, it's a must", he said, walking back to his seat."Why don't you tell your many concubines to accompany you", Rita screamed."Don't test my patience woman. You're coming with me and there's no argument about that", he said."And can you force me?",she said."I don't need to force you, I know just how to make you go", he said, stroking his beard."Which is?"."Your father", he smiled sadistically."You wouldn't", Rita sai

Love me or leave me

"How lovely to see you darling", Edmundo said, giving her a hug.There were just boarding his private jet, heading towards Madrid. Rita stilled, forcing herself to smile."It's not like I had a choice. You literally forced me to come", she said, taking the seat farthest away from him."Glad that you didn't invite your body guard. You know, I might have to transfer him somewhere else, somewhere far away", he said."Is that a threat Edmundo?", Rita asked, staring at him, dead in the eye."Call it whatever you like. Anyway, what would you have. Chicken, beef, turkey", he smiled."I'm not hungry", she said, quietly."Oh, you must eat"."I'm not hungry I ate before coming here", she said."Suit yourself", he said, going into the inner compartment of the plane.Rita was relieved at being left alone. She couldn't bare to stand his presence even for one moment. He was a despicable man and what's more, disgusting. She couldn't wait to get thi

My Private Place

When they landed in Madrid, a car was waiting for them, ready to take them to their destination which turned out to be Edmundo's penthouse. A lavish building that covered a wide expanse of land. The building was quaint with a transparent glass door that seemed to sparkle in the morning sun."Welcome to my private place", he said.Rita halted in her steps. That was the same name she called her private house back in Spain. She didn't believe in coincidences and she wondered if perhaps Edmundo knew about her building. She didn't know what she'd do if he discovered the place. No doubt, he'll look for every avenue to always visit her, disturbing the little peace she had managed to build away from him."It's... Nice", she said, walking into the building."Thank you, I bought it yesterday", he grinned.Rita halted in her steps, staring at him. She couldn't believe what she just heard, a building as big as this would take months before the purchase can be made but k

Only for you

Rita burst into tears at the relief that flooded her. She couldn't believe that he wasn't angry like she had expected. This made her love him the more and she couldn't wait to be in his arms again."It's okay baby, please stop crying", Rodrigo said."I thought you'd never speak to me again after how I treated you", she croaked, wiping her eyes."No, I would never resent you for that. I know you were only doing that because you were scared and confused. That's why I told you to never allow him rule your mind", Rodrigo said."I didn't want him to suspect a thing. You fail to underestimate him, he's very smart and cunning. One small lie could make him do things that are much bigger then him. I was trying to protect you from his madness", Rita said, taking a seat."He's truly mad. Away from him, how are you princess?",he asked.Rita smiled, curling a strand of her hair. She never got tired of his hearing his sweet endearments. Most days, she desperately wis
