Mrs Torres immediately burst into tears when she was her son evade her touch.
"Chad, let me see your injury, or you go to the hospital to get it treated now. I don't want it to get infected."
Chad did not respond. He walked over to Mina and grabbed her arm forcefully. "What did you do? You kissed me and took a picture of us, then you sent it to Rachel. Huh? You have planned all of this. Right?" As Chad asked all these questions angrily, he continued to shook her violently.
Scared, Mina began to say: "Ch-Chad...Chad please... Ouch... Please listen to me. I love you so much and I am willing to do everything that's because I love you"
As soon as she finished talking, Chad raised his hand in the air to slap her, but he couldn't. It was against his principles. He will never beat a woman no matter what. He grabbed her arm again when he heard her say: "I love you" His face darkened and his voice became cold. "You love me? How dare the word LOVE come out from that mouth of yours? Do you know the meaning of love?"
"Yes, I do"
To Mina, love means something you feel, but to Chad, love is not only something you feel, it's something you do.
"Do you think I will love you after what you had did?" as he said that, he tightened his grip around her arm and she screamed. "Ah... Chad, you are hurting me"
Mrs Sharon rushed to them and pulled her daughter away from him. "Chad, my daughter is so sorry for what she did. She is so immature. She is just in love with you that's why she did what..."
"That's enough!"
Mrs Sharon was shocked. Chad actually shouted at her. She'd never expected him to shout at her. How rude!
Mrs Torres rushed to her son and pulled him by his hand. "What are you doing? You have just shouted at your aunt. Are you out of your senses?"
Chad removed his hand from her hand. He walked towards Mina and said, "Let me get one think straight. No matter what you do, I will never fall in love with a shameless person like you"
Mina burst into tears immediately. She lowered her head and continued to cry. Mrs Sharon hugged her tightly and patted her back gently.
Chad's temper began to rise; his face flushed and veins of passion stood out of his forehead. He knew if he did not leave immediately, he might do something terrible to Mina. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. He was bleeding and did not care about it. All he wanted right now is to explain himself to Rachel. He turned and walked away without looking back.
Mrs Torres turned to Mina and said, "You should have told me that you have planned all of this. You shouldn't have done that to Chad. I know my son won't take it easy with you" she paused and continued. "But I understand why you did all of this. It is because you love my son, and I will help you"
Mina raised her head and her eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"
"Yes" Mrs Torres nodded.
"Thank you auntie" Mina smiled joyfully.
Mrs Torres have promised to help Mina, but she don't know how to help her. What Mina had done is unforgivable.
"Okay, now stop crying" Mrs Torres patted Mina's back gently and she stopped crying.
"Let's go home now. Everybody must be tired right now" said Mrs Sharon and they left.
Mina was happy thinking about what Rachel did you Chad today. She did not expect Rachel to go wild and even to the point of biting Chad till he started bleeding. Her lips twisted into a smile and when she thought of how Chad treated her and the words he had said to her, the smile on her lips froze. Everything she'd done is right to her.
Anyways, she is talking back what is rightfully hers.
At napsan, palawan.
Rachel has been crying since morning. She sat on her bed and hugged her knee. She couldn't believe that the person she had loved will cheat on her and the person she trusted will try to steal her boyfriend. She regretted forgiving and trusting Mina. She wished she could turn back the time and listen to Chad's and Johanna's warning.
Maybe, if she had done that, this wouldn't have happened.
Outside the house. Chad was knocking on the door. He is still hoping that Rachel will give him a chance to explain himself. Mrs beltran opened the door and was shocked when she saw Chad. His shirt was socked with blood. Johanna who was also behind Mrs beltran was surprised to see Chad. She remembered telling him to get his wound treated, but he did not.
Johanna rushed to him and asked, "Why didn't you get your wound treated? You will get infected"
Right now, Chad did not care about his wound. All he cares about is Rachel and how to explain everything to her.
"Chad, what happened to your hand? Why is there blood all over your shirt?" Mrs beltran asked.
Chad did not respond. He fixed his gaze inside the house. He was not ready to talk to any other person except from Rachel.
"Auntie, it was Rachel that bit him" Johanna answered for Chad. When she remembered how Rachel bit him at the hospital, she felt his pain. Chad did not move or groan in pain despite how painful the bite was.
Mrs beltran stepped forward to look at the wound. She was really scared. The bite was so deep. She really could not believe her daughter will bite a human till the point that he started bleeding. What has her daughter turned into.
"Get the first-aid" she turned to Johanna and said.
"No. I don't want to be treated. I want to see Rachel" Chad refused to be treated.
"Your wound will get infected if you don't treat it now" Mrs beltran said with a worried voice.
"I don't care aunt"
"You need to get this wound treated"
"No, aunt, I said I don't want to"
"Chad you have to" she was not ready to give up. She turned to Johanna and said, "Go and get the first-aid. I need to treat his wound"
"Aunt no. I don't want to"
Johanna and Mrs beltran looked at him helplessly. He is really stubborn.
Inside. Rachel who was crying suddenly heard a voice coming from outside. It was Chad's voice. She became angry immediately. She got down from the bed and went to the kitchen. She took a knife and went outside. She stood at the door with cold expression on her face.
Immediately Chad saw Rachel come out, he walked over to her, but he stopped when she brought out a knife and threatened him. "If you dare come near me, I will kill you"
Her last sentence shocked them all. She was really threathing Chad with death. Rachel knew Chad wanted to explain himself, but she wouldn't allow him. She did not want to listen to his words, or see him.
"Rachel, are you crazy? You are holding a knife" Mrs beltran was scared.
"I know, but I don't want to see him. Tell him to leave, or he will die"
Chad looked at her eyes and they were already swollen and red from crying. He took two steps forward and said, "Rachel, calm down. I promise that I did not want to kiss her. She forced a kiss on me. I can't cheat on you, you know that?"
"Get out of here!" Rachel shouted.
Chad started to walk towards her, but she yelled, "Stay away from me, or I will kill you"
Will she really kill him?
Chad knew Rachel can not kill him. She was only threatening him. He was not scared. Seeing that Chad will not listen to her, she placed the knife on her wrist. "Come closer and I will kill myself"
Chad stopped and his eyes grew wide. He will not allow her to kill herself.
Johanna began to panick. "Rachel, you are going crazy. Put that down"
Rachel did not listen. She burst into tears and pointed the knife at Chad. "Don't come near me Chad. Go away!"
Chad moved closer and placed the knife against his chest. Her hand and his hand were around the hilt of the dagger. Rachel was shocked.
"Kill me now if you can" he said as tears trickled down his cheeks.
Rachel was panicking. She raised her head to look into his eyes. The tears that fell from his eyes hit her hand and she shivered. Her heart sank. This was the first time she saw Chad cry like this. She reached out her hand to wipe his tears, but she put it down back.
Mrs beltran ran to them and pulled Chad away from her. "Don't let her kill you. She is not on her right senses anymore" she said and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Rachel yelled again: "Chad get out of here"
