All Chapters of His Identity: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Do I really have to wear this?", Rita sighed, staring at herself in the mirror."Yes, you have to. You're my fiancee, soon to be my wife and dressing shabbily wouldn't speak well of me", Edmundo said, fingering the necklace on her chest.Rita had never worn a gown as revealing as this. The gown was really short with an open back that clung to her hips, bringing out all her shape. She felt uncomfortable on it but she persevered only because she didn't want Edmundo to suspect her. If reverse was the case, she would happily wear this gown for Rodrigo knowing that he would appreciate it more."Now, hurry up or we'll be late", he said.Rita stared at him through the mirror,. He adorned a navy blue suit over a white bow that made him look handsome. Rita wasn't fooled by his appearance. Deep within him, he was a gutter fighter, a ruthless man who never stopped until he got what he wanted.As they walked out of the penthouse towards a limousine no doubt belonging t

The next day, at exactly one p.m, Edmundo's plane landed. Rita couldn't hide her joy at being back to Spain. She missed her parents but most especially, she missed Rodrigo. As the plane taxied to a stop, Rita couldn't wait to get out of the plane and finally meet the love of her life."What's got you smiling?", Edmumdo said, giving her a suspicious look."Oh nothing, I'm just happy to be back", she said."I see. I think we should do this some other time, you know me and you", Edmundo grinned."Oh no, I think I'll pass. I won't have time to do this again", she said."You always complain about not having time. What exactly do you do with your time?.A look of annoyance crossed his face but Rita ignored it. She didn't want anything to ruin her mood especially since she would soon see Rodrigo."Edmundo, I run an empire bigger than some countries. I'm always in meetings and different functions. The only reason why I went on this trip with you is because

"Yasmin, please come upstairs for a bit", Rita said through the intercom.Few minutes later, Yasmin walked into the office looking beautiful and resplendent in her navy blue gown. Her hair was packed into a severe bun, bringing out her face the more."Greetings ma'am, welcome back", she smiled."Thank you. Please sit down, I have something important to discuss with you", Rita said.Yasmin sat down, patiently waiting for her to proceed with what she intended to say. In the two years she had been working with her, Yasmin had known Rita to be a hard-working young lady, putting her all into the success of the organization."I want you to organize a meeting of all the board members slated for tomorrow by ten a.m sharp. Please leave the head of finance, Gabriel out if this. We've been made to understand that he's been involved in some fraudulent activities", she said.If Yasmin was surprised by this news, she hid it well. Rita secretly praised her for how wel

Few weeks passed but they still didn't find out who was behind the shooting. Gabriel, Head of finance got sacked and was handed over to the police immediately. Asides this, all the money he had stolen were returned back to the country. As Rita thought about it, she knew that Gabriel would be behind bars for many years because the gravity of the offence he committed was great.The only reason she was sympathetic about his case was because of his wife and his two year old daughter. Apparently, his wife didn't know about her husband's fraudulent activities."Senator Brabra is hosting a dinner for some of his close friends tomorrow evening. As usual, we've been invited. I see it as a way to tighten your bond with his son, Edmundo since you both would be getting married soon", Lawrence said.They were in the dining room one evening when he announced this. Rita thought they had forgotten all about her supposed marriage with Edmundo but as it stands, they haven't. In fact, t

Rita was enjoying herself immensely as she danced to the tune of the music playing from the speakers. She fended off a lot of men who wanted to take advantage of her, politely telling them that she wasn't going to dance with them. Oddly, most of the men left Theresa alone and she had a feeling that they knew who she was."Let's go sit down for a bit, my legs are killing me", Theresa huffed.Rita laughed as they made their way to a private booth. They ordered several shots of drink as Rita dowbed them all in quick succession."Easy girl", Theresa chuckled."I just want to be free for the night. Can you blame me", she laughed."No. Did you see the faces of the men you fended off. I bet they've never been turned down like that before", Theresa laughed."Honestly. I didn't come here to get laid, I came here because I wanted to forget everything that's been going on in my life at least just for this night", she said."We should do this once in a while.
