Chad and Mina were left dumbstruck.
"What did you say?" Chad was not sure if he heard what she said well.
"I said stay here with Mina and I will go home"
"What is I say NO"
"Then I won't leave" Rachel said and folded her arms over her chest.
"Rachel..."
"If you don't stay here with Mina, then I will stay here with her. I don't care if I become sick. She saved my life anyways"
Was that a threat?
Rachel knew how much Chad loves her and he won't let anything bad happen to her talkless of allowing her do things that will affect her.
"You..."
Rachel immediately interrupted. "Please Chad, do it for me. I promise I won't bother you anymore"
Damn it! This girl is really something else.
He tapped his forehead and closed his eyes for few seconds then opened them.
"When did you become this stubborn?"
"Rachel, don't bother Chad. The both of you can go home. There are so many people here watching over me" Mina said it as if she does not want Chad to stay with her, but deep down in her heart, she was very happy.
Rachel turned to Mina and said, "No" then she turned to Chad again. "Chad please,"
Chad did not respond. He continued to look at her meaningfully.
"If you do love me, then you will have to do it for me" Rachel continued to coax Chad.
Chad was angry, but decided not to show it. He does not want to stay with Mina, and he does not want to make Rachel sad.
"Chad I will do whatever you want" Rachel said like a baby, she pouted her eyes.
Chad raised his brow and his eyes lit up. "Anything?"
"Yes. Anything"
Chad held Rachel by her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Chad... You... What are you doing?"
"You said you will do anything I want. Right?"
"Yes"
"What about you give me a kiss now"
Rachel's eyes widened and her body stiffened. Her heart began to beat faster in her chest that she could even hear it herself.
"What? Kiss? Here?" she lowered her voice and said so.
Chad smiled, "Yes. Why? Can't we kiss here?"
Rachel's gaze shifted from Chad to Mina and then to Chad. She said in a low voice. "But she is here"
Chad looked over his shoulder and smiled, "Let her look"
Rachel felt a cold sweat on her forehead even in the hot weather. She tried to pull away from Chad, but he held her waist tighter.
"Well... I am waiting" Chad gave a seductive smile.
At they moment, she hated herself for giving Chad that condition.
'What should I do to divert his attention?' Rachel thought.
After racking her brain for several ways to divert his attention, she thought of nothing.
She stared at Chad angrily and Chad smiled at her sweetly.
That even annoyed her the most...
"I am still waiting"
Chad reminded her with a smile.
She clenched her fist slowly, stood on her toes.
"Mwah"
She gave him a kiss on his cheeks.
Mina began to boil in anger. She felt she was going to blow out any minute if she does not calm down.
"I don't want it there, I want it on my lips"
Chad was not satisfied with the fact that she kissed him on his cheeks.
'Fuck! I promise I will chop off his head when we leave this place' Rachel cursed under her breath.
Rachel's face was turning red in anger and her teeth was clenched.
Chad saw her and burst into laughter. "We should leave now, but that doesn't mean you won't still kiss me. At least, you said you will give me anything I want, so there is still plenty of time"
But before Rachel could say a word, Chad turned her and pushed her out if the room gently, then he smiled and left the room.
Seeing the door closed behind Chad, Mina threw the pillow on the floor angrily. She felt jealous, hatred and anger at the same time. She hated herself for watching them.
In the black Maybach.
Ever since they got into the car, no one talked to each other.
The car was as silent as a grave yard.
They were doing one thing, or the other.
Johanna was looking out of the window watching the beautiful streets. Chad on the other hand was checking the reviews sent to him on his phone. Mina was browsing through her phone checking for new news updates.
Only the honking of the cars on the road were heard.
Rachel let out a deep sigh and placed her phone down on her laps. She turned her head to look at Chad and shook his hand. "Chad are you angry with me?"
"Nope" he answered immediately.
She gazed at him and looked for a sign he was still angry at her, but she found nothing. She smiled and leaned against him, and hooked her arm around Chad's, and then rested her head on his shoulder.
Chad lowered his head to look at her. His lips curled into a smile and he gently caressed her hair.
At the hospital. The door opened and Darna and Analyn walked into the room. Analyn lowered her head and saw the pillow Mina had thrown on the floor. She bent down and picked it up, and walked towards Mina who had a sullen look on her face. Analyn placed the pillow on the bed.
"What happened? Why is your face like that?" Darna asked.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I am sick and tired of seeing the both of them together"
Analyn and Darna understood what she was talking about. They knew it was because of Rachel.
Darna took Mina's hand and patted it slowly.
Mina remembered something and she lowered her voice. "Have you done what I asked the both of you to do?"
"Yes, we have. They have left the city with their families and also I have given them the balance of the money they asked for," Analyn said.
"Very good" Mina's lips curled into a smile.
Her mind flashed back to what happened before she got hospitalized.
It was in a black van. Mina and her friends were with some men in the van. Mina brought out a brief case, opened it, and showed it to them. The men's eyes lit up immediately.
"What do you want us to do ma'am Mina" one of the men said, smiling.
"I want you to attack Rachel, but I don't want you to hurt her. I will try to save her and then you will hit me on my head with a rod" Mina explained to them.
"But... Ma'am Mina, you will be injured" another said with a hint of worry in his voice.
Mina laughed. "That's exactly what I want"
Was she crazy? She wanted to get injured and risk her life.
The men were all stunned, but no one tried to question her, or something. They all agreed without hesitating.
"What will we do after we hit you ma'am?"
"You all will have to leave the city with your families, so you won't be caught. I will pay you part of your money now and when the job is successful, I will pay you the remaining, but remember to cover your face, so that no one will recognize you and don't leave any evidence behind, okay?"
"Yes, ma'am"
Mina had ordered those men to attack them the other day. It was part of her plan to get sympathy from others especially from Rachel. She will try to save Rachel, so Rachel will trust her the more.
She even paid those men and told them to leave the city.
No wonder Chad couldn't get them...
"Now that plan b is successful, what's your new plan?" Darna asked.
Mina, "Next plan? You guys already know what my next plan is. Right?"
Analyn and Darna nodded their heads.
Mina, "Rachel is just making things easier for me. She even begged Chad to stay with me"
Darna, "What did Chad say?"
Mina, "You know Chad won't refuse Rachel, so he agreed"
Analyn, "Where is Chad right now?"
Mina, "He took her home"
Analyn, "Now that Chad will be staying with you, what's your plan?"
Mina, "You will see"
After taking Rachel and Johanna home, Chad came back to the hospital to stay with Mina. Immediately he entered the room, his mother said, "Chad I heard you are staying with Mina here?"
"Yes, mom"
Mrs Torres was surprised. Her son will never stay with Mina even if she goes down on her knees and begged him. She did not what made him want to stay with Mina.
However, she was happy even if she does not know the reason.
"Chad thanks so much. I know you are a good friend to Mina" Mrs Torres said, smiling.
Friend? If she only knew who begged him to stay.
"Mom, aunt, the both of you should go home now. I see you are really tired" says Chad.
"Yes, we are both tired. We will be going home now. Take care of yourselves, okay?" Mrs Torres said and turned to Mina then whispered in her ear. "Take care of Chad. Make him feel comfortable with you, okay?"
Mina nodded her head.
Then Mrs Torres turned to Chad and said, "Remember to take good care of Mina" and Chad replied with a "Mhm" then Mrs Torres patted his back before leaving the room.
Mrs Sharon pinched his cheeks and smiled at him and he smiled back then she left the room and Darna and Analyn left the room too.
"Chad, you came. I thought you wouldn't come" Mina said, smiling.
