"What did you say?" Mrs Torres asked in a angry voice.
Rachel raised her head and repeated her self, "I can't break up with Chad. Chad and I love each other so much and we promised not to leave each other no matter what happens"
Rachel thought, if this is what Mrs Torres want; for her to break up with Chad, it's better she get it off her head because it won't happen.
Mrs Torres shifted her gaze from Rachel and smiled, "What do you want? Is it money? A better life? I will give you what you want as long as you leave my son"
Rachel frowned at Mrs Torres words. Who does she think she is?
"I don't want any of that" Rachel said in a angry voice.
Mrs Torres slapped her hand on the table and yelled furiously, "Then what do you want?" What Mrs Torres did not know is that Rachel doesn't need anything because Chad has given her everything.
A house, car, maids, security guards. What else does she want again?
"All I want is to be with Chad. I will never leave him even if the Sky Falls to the ground"
Mrs Torres face glow in anger. She stood up and yelled, "I will never allow you to marry my son no matter what happens. You will never find peace that I promise you. I advice you to break up with him now"
Chad does not want to break up with Rachel, so Mrs Torres thought of talking to Rachel to break up with Chad instead.
Rachel stood up and said calmly. "I am sorry. Just like I said earlier, I won't break up with Chad and I don't want anything from you, but your blessings"
"Blessing? I will never give you that" Mrs Torres hissed.
"OK then. If you don't have anything else to say, then I will be leaving now" Rachel said, bowed and strode out of the room"
"This has not ended yet, Rachel" Mrs Torres snarled as she watch Rachel leave.
Rachel was thinking of what Mrs Torres said and did not know someone was coming until she bumped into the person.
"Careful. what are you thinking of?" Chad caught her in time before she slipped and fall. He wrapped his hand around her waist, holding her firmly to himself.
"It's nothing"
"What did my mom tell you?" Chad asked curiously.
Rachel turned her head to look at the living room and the words Mrs Torres said came across her mind. "Break up with Chad"
Her heart ached. She closed her eyes and shook her head, and then she tried to calm herself down. She turned her head to face Chad, smiling, she said, "It's nothing serious. Just normal conversation" she knew if she had told Chad the truth, he would definitely fight with his mother and she don't want that to happen.
Chad's eyebrow bounced upwards. "Normal conversation?" he repeated.
When did they started having a normal conversation?
Rachel nodded. "Yes"
Seeing that Chad will continue to ask her more questions, she quickly said, "I am tried. I want to go to bed now" after that, she walked pass him without giving him a glance and ran to her room. Chad wondered what was wrong with her. He wanted to know what his mother told her.
***
The words Mrs Torres told her was still bothering her. She sat up in bed and thought of something. She picked up her phone and dialed her mother's number. She briefly told her mother what Mrs Torres said to her. Mrs beltran was furious. Well, what else does she expect from her.
In Mrs Torres room.
Mina was pacing up and down the room thinking of something. She frowned as she turned to face Mrs Torres who was sitting on the couch with her leg crossed. "Aunt, Rachel really did not want to break up with Chad, right?"
Mrs Torres nodded. "Yes. I told her that I will give her anything as long as she breaks up with Chad, but this girl... This girl refused everything"
This was all Mina's and Mrs Torres plan all along.
Mina sat beside Mrs Torres, took Mrs Torres hand, patting it slowly, she said, "Aunt, maybe she wanted more. You know she is poor and she doesn't have anything"
Mrs Torres stood up and walked forward a few steps. She looked over her shoulder and said, "Do you think she want more? The way she was talking to me seems like she has everything. I don't think no matter what I say or give to her, she won't still leave Chad"
Mina stood up from the couch and her face darkened. She stomped her feet on the ground and pouted her lips. "Aunt, are you saying you are giving up now? Don't you want me for Chad anymore? Is it that bitch you want as your daughter- in-law?" she asked.
Mrs Torres turned to face her and she was shocked when she saw Mina already sitting on the floor, crying. "No, I didn't mean any of that" she said while walking towards her. She crouched down beside her and hugged her tightly. "You are the perfect woman for Chad. Not that bitch. Not anybody"
Unknowingly to them, Chad was at the door listening to all their conversations. His face darkened and he clenched his fist. He turned and went to Rachel's room. He knocked on the door there times and opened the door when he heard Rachel say, "Come in"
"Hey! Why is your face like that? Did anyone annoy you? Tell me, I will fight that person for you" Rachel said jokingly and stood in the middle of her bed with her hands on her hips.
"Why didn't you tell me that my mom wanted you to break up with me?" Chad's question made Rachel a little bit shocked. Her hand dropped to her side. It seems that there is nothing she can hide from Chad anymore, she thought.
Rachel felt guilty for not telling him anything. "I am sorry for not telling you. I don't want you to feel sad or worry about anything" she thought that not telling him was the best thing to do.
She added. "But... I did not agree. I won't break up with you. I won't leave you, that I promise"
Chad walked up to her and carried her from the bed and gazed solemnly up into her eyes. "Promise you won't leave me"
"I promise" Rachel rasied her hand up and smiled. Chad smiled back at her and planted a kiss on her forehead.
