"Hey, I am not here to hurt your friend. I just want to talk to her" Mina said in soft voice.
After what Mina did at the hospital, Johanna hated her the more. If killing was not a sin, she would have killed Mina.
Rachel tapped Johanna's back and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine. Just go to the farm and I will join you when I am done here"
Johanna looked over her shoulder and asked, "Are you sure?"
Rachel nodded, "Yes"
Johanna stared at Mina angrily before leaving. Watching Johanna's back disappear, Rachel turned to face Mina and asked, "What do you want this time? You have Chad already like what you have always wished for, so what else do you want?"
"I came to ask how you are doing"
How she is doing?
Of course Rachel is sad, angry, and heartbroken. This Mina knew Rachel is badly hurt by what she did and now she is asking how Rachel is doing.
Rachel knew Mina's techniques. She knew Mina is only pretending to care about her and she won't fall for her tricks this time. The last time, she was foolish, but she has learnt her lesson.
Rachel frowned her face and said in an angry voice, "If you have anything to say, say it and stop pretending as if you care about me"
Mina moved closer to Rachel and whispered, "Chad was dripping wet yesterday's night when he got home. He allowed me to take care of him last night and I even prepared for him hot water to bathe"
Rachel face reddening immediately. Her heart was swelling with sorrow and anger. She clenched her fist, struggling for control. Yesterday, Chad was with her in the rain apologizing and when he got home, he returned to Mina. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought them back and tried to look like nothing was wrong. She knew Mina was saying all of this to make her sad and angry.
Mina saw the sad expression on Rachel's face and her lips showed a satisfying smile. That is what she wanted to see. To see Rachel's heartbroken and to make her hate Chad the more and if that happens, Chad will be hers. There will be no Rachel to stop them.
"It's such a pity that Chad was only using you. You should thank me because if not for me, you would have been left in the dark. Chad was only using you. He does not love you. The only person he loves is me"
Rachel's blood began to boil. She believes every word Mina had just said. The sentence: "He does not love you" kept on ringing in her mind. She tried to get it out, but it won't go. She held her head in her hand and shouted: "Shut up!"
"Don't you believe me? It's the truth Rachel. Chad does not love you. Tsk Tsk. Rachel, I pity you"
"I said shut up!"
Rachel did not want to believe Mina, but something was shouting in her head saying: "That's the truth. Chad does not love you"
She stumbled backwards and lean against the wall. Her heartbeat was shallow and fast; Her head felt like it was in a clamp. She placed on hand on her chest and the other on the wall, supporting her body from slipping down.
Mina rushed to her immediately and pretended as if she cares about her. "Rachel, are you okay? Do you need water?" she said in a soft voice and placed the back of her hand on Rachel's forehead.
Rachel stood up straight and slapped her hand away. She hated the fact that Mina is still pretending.
"Why? Are we not friends anymore?" Mina said in a sad voice and an innocent look on her face.
"Well, our friendship was a mistake. I hope you understand" Mina said in a cold voice.
"Let's forget about that for now. Chad loves me so much and I love him too and now that he has dumped you, I hope you get someone that will love the way you want" Mina said with a smile.
"Thanks for you advice miss Mina" Rachel smiled back. Even though her swollen eyes are painful, she still had to smile. "Are you done talking? If you are done talking, you can take your leave now" Rachel said with her left hand spread out.
Mina's smile froze on her lips. "You..."
"As you can see that I was on my way to the farm. My time is precious and I don't want to waste it talking to jobless people like you"
Mina's face turned red immediately. She clenched her fist. "You..."
"If you are think you don't have anything to do, go back home. As for me, I have to do lots of things at the farm. Bye" she said and left.
Mina stomped her foot on the ground. "You wait Rachel till Chad is finally mine"
At the sugar cane farm.
Rachel was gathering the sugar cane stick when she caught a glimpse of walking towards her. She dropped the sugar cane sticks and turned abruptly. Chad ran after her, grabbed her arm and tugged her closer.
"I feel as though you're pushing me away" he said in a soft, low voice.
When Rachel finally raised her head to look at him, her face was again the angry cloud he had looked at yesterday.
"What did you want? Are you not satisfied with the fact that you have Mina already? What else do you want?" Her face was red with anger and her eyes hard as stone.
"I want you to forgive me" his voice was still soft.
"Are you not done using me already? What else do you want from me? I shouldn't have trusted you and Mina. The both of you are birds of the same feathers" she shouted angrily.
But this Chad was not listening to her. His gaze traveled over her face in that familiar way, his expression reflective. His gaze moved from her beautiful eyes to her lips.
"You rich people know nothing, but how to use others for your benefits. You are all evil and selfish. I hate you Chad. Just leave me and go to Mina. The one and only woman you love. I don't want to see your disgusting face. You disgust me"
Chad's gaze was still on her lips. He loved the way her beautiful lips are moving up and down while she was talking. He wished he could press his lips on hers right now.
Rachel noticed the way he was smiling and got angry. She hit his chest with her clenched fist and shouted: "So you have not been listening to me? I have just been wasting my saliva talking. Huh?"
Chad shook his head and was brought back to earth. When he looked at her face, she was already crying. Tears fell fast from her eyes. Inside, she was dying, but no one could see it. Chad reached out his hand and wiped the tears from her eyes, then he held her face in his hand. His warm hands were caressing her face.
"I am sorry" he apologized.
"Sorry? Do you know my heart is hurting right now?" she asked and pointed her finger to her chest. "I trusted you, I gave you my heart completely, I loved you wholeheartedly even though your mother was against our relationship, but what did you do?"
"I am sorry" he said in a low, sad voice.
"What did you do to me? You broke my heart. I trusted you and you betrayed my trust" she said and began to hit his chest. Chad pulled her closer and hugged her tightly. Her head was on his chest and her clenched fist was still hiting his chest as she continued to say: "You broke my heart. I will never forgive you. You broke my heart" "You broke my heart" she repeated.
Chad's heart sank. He placed his big hand on her head and caressed it.
Tears of anger burned her eyes as she pulled away from him and ran away. Chad wanted to run after her, but he was stopped. His phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket.
"What is it?... I will be there soon" he hung up the phone, turned and left.
At carpeDiem Torres.
A black Maybach car stopped in front of the company. A tall body guards dressed in a black top and pant came out of the car. He opened the back seat door and a young man came out. He wore a white shirt and a black pant. The board of executives were all lined up outside the company and they bowed when they saw him. Chad nodded and walked inside the company and they followed him.
The staffs greeted him when they saw him. "Sir chad, good morning"
"Sir Chad"
"Sir Chad"
Chad only nodded as he walked pass them. They all respected him and sees him as the next CEO of the company.
Chad got into the conference hall and sat down. The board of executives went to their seat and sat also. When they were all seated, Chad looked around and asked, "What's the problem?"
