The Star Who Stole My Lover (18+)

Part 15

Reginna Riles
"Ok, so you're saying this dude Rudy, your ex from high school, is now dating Rita, and is abusing her." Raven recapped.

"Why would Rita date him? She would've seen how much of an asshole he was when Reginna was dating him." She continued.

"Raven.." I called her.

Raven turned to me.

"We all thought Rudy was in New York. So she didn't know he was that Rudy."

"Oh.. Sorry." Raven apologized with a warm look.

We all looked at Rita.

Raven stood up and walked to her.

"What did he do to you?" Raven said, putting her hand on Rita's shoulder.

"It's okay. You can tell me."

Rita looked at me. I gave her a nod.

"He's abuses me.. I wanted to break up with him. But he refuses.. So he's using our private video as blackmail.."

"Private....?" Raven's eyes widened.

"Oh Rita you didn't." Raven said, concern all over her tone.

Rita bowed her head down and covered her hands to her face.

"I know.. It was stupid.. But I loved him.. I would've given him anything." Rita said in between sobs.

"Hey, look.." Raven took her hands from her face trying to cheer her up.

"Your conscience is clean. You did that because you loved him and nothing more, alright?" As Raven pulled Rita's hands closer to her chest, the shaul Rita used to cover her arms slipped off.

"-There's nothing to-" Raven stopped, noticing the bruises. She stared at both arms.

Mouth open with shock and disbelief, Raven said:

"What. The. Fuck."

She looked back to Rita's eyes as Rita stared at the floor and put the shaul back on.

Raven looked at all of us.

"I know we could've done something, but Raven-"
I spoke up.

"No need to explain. I understand."
She raised her hand to stop me.

"You said so yourself. It's been almost 5 years since I disappeared. I've been living my life around cheaters, liars, and who knows what else. So I understand." She looked at Rita with sad eyes.

"So. What's the plan?" She crossed her arms, looking at all of us.

"I gave her a spy pen so we could record Rudy blackmailing Rita and use that to get him in jail, but the topic about the video wouldn't surface." Jeremy subtly stepped in.

"So yeah. Days went by and nothing happened, Rita didn't feel the need to keep the pen close to her, so she didn't get the chance to use it when Rudy did this." Bex continued, Raven cringed.

"Seeing that didn't go as planned, I'm not gonna risk Rita doing it again." I explained.

"So that's when I step in the picture?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, but you don't need to catch him in the act or anything. You just have to distract him." I said.

"And then?" She asked.

"See if you can get into his computer and phone and-" I thought,

"Fuck with his files?" Raven finished my sentence, Jeremy's face lit up.
