At the airport.
A young lady was walking into the airport with her luggage. She had a long, blond and wavy hair and a pair of light brown eyes and her skin was white. She wore an over sized cardigan, tunnel-neck sweater, and pajamas suiting pants.
Rachel turned back to look at her mother and Johanna for the last time. She doesn't want to leave, but she had to. Just like what Mrs Torres said, she only wanted Rachel success.Rachel knew it was not right to keep it from Chad, but she just wanted to surprise him just like what Mrs Torres told her.
She turned and walked away.
She would be leaving.
Leaving so that when she comes back, she would be able to help chad.
She knew Chad would wait for her.
Definitely, Chad would wait for her.
***
Chad on the other side has been trying Rachel's number, but couldn't get through. He wondered what could be wrong with her. Could she be in danger? No! Johanna is with her and if something bad had happened to her, Johanna would have given him a call, he thought.
He tried calling Johanna, but her phone was switched off. A few minutes of thinking of what to do, he called Mrs beltran, but couldn't get through.
What could be happening to them?
While he was thinking of what to do, he heard a knock on the door which interrupted his trains of thought.
"Come in" he said.
The door slowly opened from outside she joy walked in. She bowed and reported, "Sir, you have a meeting with Mr. fang later in the afternoon and..."
Chad interrupted her before she could complete her sentence. He said, "Cancel it"
Joy was flabbergasted. "What?"
"I said cancel all my meetings today. I have something important to attend to"
"Ah, okay, sir" she bowed, turned on her heels and left the office. She wondered what could be wrong with Chad. He doesn't look like he is in a good mood and his face was as dark as the night.
Chad got up from the chair, took his jacket and phone, taking a large strides he walked out of the office.
***
Chad came to the house he bought for Rachel's family to see her, but the maid told him that she had left.
Chad clenched his fist and pressed it against the wall angrily as he asked to confirm what he had just heard, "They didn't tell you where they were going to right?"
The young maid nodded. "Yes, young master. They didn't tell us anything and also they didn't allow the driver to drive them. They took a cab"
Chad's face darkened. "They didn't allow the drivers to drive them?"
"Yes young master"
Totally confused, Chad turned and left the house.
At the Torres mansion.
In the study room.
Chad picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Sam, I need you to do something for me"
A few minutes later, his phone rang.
"Yes? Have you gotten it?"
"I have gotten it Chad. She went to the airport this morning by nine- twenty one and boarded the plane going to the US"
Chad was surprised. "Why... Why did she go the the airport without telling me? Why did she leave the country?"
"That I don't know. I will send something to you right now"
"Okay, thanks sam" he said and hung up the phone.
*Ding*
A video was sent to his laptop. He clicked on the video and it opened. It was a video of Rachel with a luggage going to the ticket counter. He picked up his phone and dialed her number, but it was switched off.
Just then, Chad heard a knock on the door. "Who is that? Go away?" he said with a cold voice.
The door slowly opened and Mrs Torres walked in majestically. "Chad, what's wrong? Why is your face like this?" she asked as she walked towards him. Chad did not respond, but he fixed his gaze on the screen of his laptop with sad eyes. Mrs Torres eyes grew wide when she saw the video. "Isn't that Rachel? Why is she at the airport?" she inquired. She turned her head to look at her son's face. "I knew it. This girl was just using you for her own benefits. She left without telling you. What kind of girlfriend is she?"
Chad raised his head to look at his mother. "How do you know she left the country?"
Mrs Torres was startled for a moment, but she quickly composed herself. "It's clear here. Why would she go to the airport if not that she was leaving the country"
"What if... She went there to pick someone?"
Mrs Torres laughed lightly. "Remember Rachel has no relative in the U.S and... Stop covering up for her. I know she left the country without telling you" She looked at the video again and her face turned red with anger. "I knew Rachel was only pretending to love you. If she really loves you, she wouldn't have left without telling you. Maybe she has another guy in the US, who knows"
Mrs Torres thought, Am sorry Rachel for deceiving you, but this is the only way to separate you from my son. I won't allow you to marry him. Never!
Chad closed his laptop with a bang and stood up from the chair. He said, "Maybe she left for a reason and I know she would call me if she gets there" then he left the room.
Mrs Torres let out a evil grin. This was the only way she thought she could separate the both of them. She has promised to separate them and she has finally done it and unfortunately for Rachel, she fell into her trap.
Such a poor girl.
Mrs Torres thought, now that Rachel is out of the picture, she can now make Chad fall for Mina. She would make Chad believe that Rachel used and dumped him for another guy and Mina is the only one that loves him and would continue to be with him.
In Chad's room.
Chad has been pacing up and down his room waiting for Rachel's call. He walked to the balcony, his hand on the railing as the air raffled his hair.
Suddenly, his phone rang. His heart skipped a beat and he walked into his room to pick the phone call, but unfortunately for him, the ID was Joy.
He picked the phone call and growled, "Don't call me again" then he hung up and threw his phone on the bed.
Joy on the other side was stunned. She wasn't even given the chance to tell him why she called. She pulled the phone from her ear and stared at the screen of her phone, confused.
What could be wrong with Chad?
