“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 any of that. Everything needed here is programme” Alex said, not taking his eyes off the laptop while Finn watched what he was doing as if he understood.
“How long more is it going take?”
“Once I successfully log in, I will be done in few hours”
“Okay, please do this for me” He gently patted his brother's back.
The door was suddenly flung opened, it was Rita.
“Hey Rita, what..what a surprise visit” Finn rushed to meet her and hugged her warmly. “What are you doing here?”
“Why weren't you at the office today?” She asked him, obviously feeling uncomfortable with his embrace as she disengaged from him first.
“Err… This morning, I was feeling too good” Finn lied.
“And why didn't you pick my calls?” She crossed her arms and questioned.
“I'm sorry” Finn murmured.
She sighed;
“How are you?” Finn asked.
I shook my head.
“Charles tried to molest me” She said.
“What?” Finn exclaimed, “That rotten bastard, how dare him? Are you okay? Did he..did..” He checked me out to confirm if I was okay.
“Why are you shocked and mad? You pushed me to him, didn't you?”
“Uh..what do you mean?”
“Charles asked me to sleep with him if I didn't want him to leak my nudes to the internet. And I had only sent those only pictures to you, Zane because you made me do it” I said, pointing my fingers on his chest severally. “You made me do it! You are Zane, why do you hurt me so much? Why do you always hurt me so much!?”
Finn was mute.
“I…. I…” He was speechless to say the least.
“You..you what? Why do you keep coming back to hurt me? What other secret are you hiding from me? What other trouble do you have in store for me? My nudes is almost out there all because you, all because you made me do it! I.. I was never like this”
They both bursted into tears without even knowing.
“I’m sorry” Finn uttered.
“You are sorry? Does it fix anything? Why don't you just come to me clean and plain instead of going through the corners and so doing, you made me feel useless and as if I'm not good enough? Is that why you asked for space? You couldn't even clean up this mess, that's why you deliberately pushed me to Charles, didn't you?”
“I… I didn't know he would do that to you. He… blackmailed me.. I… I'm .. I am a coward”
She shook her head slowly;” I don't think I can continue this relationship with you, I'm sorry”
“Rita!”
“And don't even think of coming back to me through another cunny way. I have learnt and unlearn alot of things from you and finally, it's over between us” I removed the ring he gave me off my finger, forcefully folded it into hands.
“Don't… do this Rita. We can still sort it out” Finn pleaded.
“Rita, I am on it. I will clear everything Charles wanna use against you. I want you and Fin to be happy again ...” Alex helped to beg haven watched the whole drama.
But Rita wouldn't listen, she dashed out of the house.

Finn arrived pretty late at work the following day, he checked up on Rita in the office. Evelyn informed him that she didn't come to the office that day.
Rita wouldn't pick her calls too. It was as if she was doing the exact same thing he did it to her the previous day.
After making some calls, he headed straight to his office where Charles was.
“Oh, well well, look who we have here” Charles said instead of greetings.
“What did you do to Rita yesterday?” Finn confronted him with a blank stiff expression.
“It's none of your business. Rita is mine to deal with now, isn't that our agreement?” Charles barked.
“You idiot, thief.. you…”
“Cause me one more time and I'll release those pictures right now!” Charles said, tapping some keys on his laptop.
“Oh, you want me to be afraid of you?”
“Looks like you are not, I'll make sure I deal with you and that woman of yours” Charles uttered wickedly.
Finn picked up his phone call and said into it.
“Come in”
Two hefty cops came in and walked over to where Charles stood and said.
“You are under arrest for Impersonation and Rape” They said, trying to cuff his hands.
“What…me.. when did I? How?”
“You tried to rape my woman and you impersonated me, didn't you?”
“No.. I… Cops, listen I can explain” Charles tried to say.
“Take him away right and lock him up” Finn ordered.
Charles wanted to do one or two things on his laptop but the cop handcuffed him and showed him no mercy. They dragged him out of the office.
Finn tiredly fell on the couch.
He exhaled heavily in relief, he w
as obviously sick and tired of the whole drama.
At least, it has come to an end. He thought.
