After breakfast, Rachel offered to wash the dishes, but the maids stopped her. Chad stood up from the chair, came up behind her and collected the plate from her hands. "I will do it"
The maids were surprised, but they couldn't say anything. Since he was willing to wash the dishes for her, Rachel was happy to let him do it. Chad had never done any of these things before, but it was true. It was so impossible to see Chad do such things.
Rachel lean on the kitchen counter, arms folded, legs crossed as she watched Chad carefully cleaning bowls and cutlery.
How could a man look so good washing dishes.
Meanwhile, Mrs Torres and Mina were watching the both of them. Anger seized up in Mrs Torres chest as she watched her son wash the dishes while Rachel lean on the kitchen counter. She called the maid and asked, "Why is Chad washing the dishes?"
"Madam, it's sir that said he will wash the dishes. We wanted to help, but he refused"
"And Rachel allowed him to wash the dishes?"
"No madam" the maid shook her head. "Ma'am Rachel wanted to wash the dishes all by herself, but sir collected it from her"
After the maid finished talking, Mrs Torres told the maid to leave. Mina turned to face Mrs Torres and said, "Aunt, you can see Rachel is making chad work like a slave even in his own mansion. I knew it. I knew it. This girl has a mission. She is evil. Devilish"
Mrs Torres face turned dark immediately. Her face was glowing in anger as her cold eyes rested on Rachel. Mina looked at her and showed a satisfying smile when she saw the cold expression on her face.
"I am going to kill that girl. Who does she think she is? She is always controlling Chad" Mrs Torres growled.
Mina moved closer to her, held her hand and patted it slowly. "Aunt, calm down, calm down, okay?"
Mina is happy seeing Mrs Torres angry. All she wanted is for Rachel to leave the mansion.

"Chad, I brought you coffee" Rachel knocked on the door of the study room, but no answer came, then she gently pushed the door open. Chad was on a conference call when she entered. He looked at her and smiled, then he said, "Please, arrange for a staff meeting later in the afternoon" after that, he closed his laptop immediately and looked up at her. "What's the matter?" he asked.
Rachel gently placed the coffee cup on the table and said, "I brought this for you. I am sorry, I didn't know you were actually busy"
Chad smiled, took the coffee from the table and sipped it, then he dropped it back on the table. He waved his hand. "Come here"
Rachel hesitated before walking up to him. "What?" she asked.
Chad reached out his hand and grabbed her by her arms, putting her up to his laps, he said, "I was thinking of getting aunt a new house. That your house is just too old and small. Aunt is not getting younger anymore; She should not stress herself that much. What do you think?"
Rachel was shocked by his words. "W-w-what... What did you just say?" she stuttered.
"I said you guys are getting a new house soon. Your house is old and small" he repeated in a serious tone. He did not sound as if he was joking.
"Really?" Rachel still did not believe what she had heard.
He nodded. "Yeah"
Tears fell fast from her eyes. She curled her arms around his neck tightly. "Thank you"
Chad has thought of it severally. Making Mrs beltran live in that poor, small, old house isn't a good thing. As his future mother-in-law, he shouldn't let them suffer. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. He asked the person where he could get a house for Mrs beltran. The man suggested so many places, but Chad rejected them all. All are low standard to him.
Rachel laid her head on his shoulder as she listened to him. Later in the day, Rachel and Chad went to the farm together. Mrs beltran was so happy to see him. The last time she saw him was when she got into a fight with his mother. She quickly dropped the cutlass in her hand and walked over. She hugged him tightly.
Holding his face in her hand, she said, "Do you know how much I have missed you. I couldn't come to your house because of your mother and you didn't come to visit me also"
"Auntie, I am so sorry. I couldn't come because of my work" Chad said.
Mrs beltran quickly said, "Oh yes, I knew it's all because of your work"
Chad smiled at her.
"Come on, the sun is so hot. Let's go to the shade. I don't want you to fall sick again" Mrs beltran said, hooked her arm around his and pulled him. Chad laughed out loud as Mrs beltran pulled him along with her.
Johanna noticed Rachel's dress and pulled her back. She looked at Rachel from up to down and said, "Where did you get this dress?"
"It's mine"
"Yours?" Johanna was surprised.
"Yep, This is just one of the clothes Chad bought for me"
"OMG! I am sure this is very expensive. I can't really afford it if I want to buy it"
"Of course, we can't, but the rich can. Let's go quickly" Rachel pulled Johanna along with her.
In the shade, Chad told Mrs beltran that they will be moving out of their house soon and he has gotten for them a new house. Mrs beltran and Johanna could not believe what they heard him say. Mrs beltran refused at first, but Chad kept on insisting that they will move out the next day. She later agreed and allowed Chad to do whatever he wants. She couldn't stop him anyways.
Johanna was so excited that she couldn't wait to see how their new house would be.
Later in the evening, Chad drove them home and told them to get their things ready. After saying their goodbyes, they left.
Later at night at the Torres mansion. Rachel went to the kitchen to get a glass cup of water for herself. She opened the fridge and brought out a cold bottled water.
Just then, Mrs Torres and Mina walked into the kitchen. Mrs Torres grabbed Rachel's arm violently. She said, "You made my son worked in the kitchen? Not only did you force him to work for you, you made him wash all the dishes, eh? Who do you think you are? You think you can control my son? If that's why you are here, it's better you get it off your head because as long as I am alive, I won't let a cheap girl like you maltreat my son" her voice was cold.
Rachel wasn't surprised that she would say something like that. She knew Mrs Torres would find something bad to say about her. She removed Mrs Torres hand from her arms and laughed while massaging her painful arm.
Mrs Torres got angry and yelled, "Why are you laughing? You think What I am saying is funny?"
Rachel stooped laughing and said in a calm voice, "Ma'am Torres, let me make something clear to you, I didn't force chad to do any if those things. Didn't you hear him yourself when he said he is doing this for his future and his future wife"
