He Felt So Sorry

"Why would Chad hurt Mina?" she asked still confused.

"So you still don't know? Huh?" Mrs Torres asked angrily.

Rachel suddenly remembered that Mina had hurt her too yesterday and Chad got angry and he promised to teach Mina a lesson. "So this is what he did to her?" she asked herself.

Mrs Torres blood was already boiling and she raised her hand and before Rachel could say another word, slaped Rachel again. This time, the slap made Rachel fall to the ground.

Johanna could not take it anymore as she rushed to Mrs Torres and began to yell at her. "How dare you slap her? Did you know what Mina did to Rachel?"

"I don't care about that and who do you think you are? You low class people" She turned to Rachel who was still on the floor and said, "I will make you pay for making my son hurt Mina. You evil witch. You are the reason why my son is like this now" she cursed and grabbed Rachel's arm forcefully. "I will make you feel ten times the pain Mina felt yesterday" She lifted Rachel up and gave her another slap.

Mina showed a satisfying smile as Mrs Torres yell and beat Rachel. "That's what Rachel deserves" she thought.

Johanna ran to Rachel and tried to pull her away from Mrs Torres, but Mrs Torres pushed her away and she almost fell.

"Ma'am, please I didn't do anything. Please let go of me" Rachel pleaded.

"You...let go of you? I promise I will kill you today so the next time you are coming back to this world, you will know your place" she grabbed Rachel's hair and dragged her down to her knees. Rachel could not do anything, but cry for help.

Johanna pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

At the carpeDiem Torres.

In the conference room.

"The last set of shoes we made are now the highest pairs of shoes sold in the country. We have decided to make another pairs of shoes which will be called..." The man was interrupted by a call. Chad frown his face and looked around the hall. "Whose phone?"

No one brought his or her phone to the room and they shook their heads then Chad realised that it was his phone. He removed it from his pocket and looked at the ID: Johanna.

"Why is Johanna calling me?" He picked it up. "Johanna, why did you call? Did something happen to Rachel?" He knew the only reason why Johanna will call him is because of Rachel.

"Chad, you have to come now. You mom is going to kill Rachel"

His eyes widened immediately. "What? My mom? What is my mom doing there?"

"She said she wants to take revenge. I don't kind of understand, but you have to come now if not Rachel will end up in the hospital"

Chad eyes darkened immediately. He understood why his mother went to Rachel. "The meeting ends now" his voice was cold.

No one dared to ask him why or argue with him. Chad immediately walked out of the room and the room became noisy immediately he left.

It took Chad ten minutes before he got to Rachel's place. Immediately Chad got there, Mina ran to Mrs Torres and began to pull her. "Aunt, that's enough" she pretended to care. "Do not hurt her"

The moment she saw Chad coming, she pretended as if she really wanted Mrs Torres to stop hurting Rachel. She wanted to look like a nice person in the presence of Chad.

When Chad saw his mother hurting Rachel, he ran to her and pulled Rachel away from his mother. "Mom, stop it! How dare you touch Rachel?"

"I have been trying to get aunt to stop, but she did not listen to me" Mina said

"Liar, the reason why your mother is hurting Rachel is because of her" she said and pointed her index finger at Mina.

Chad eyes became darker as he stepped forward and grabbed Mina arm. "You"

"No, no, Chad believe me, I didn't do anything. I swear I did not lay my finger on Rachel" she said as her lips began to tremble. She remembered what Chad did to her yesterday.

Chad had become violent recently all because of Rachel.

"Leave Mina out of this, I just wanted to teach Rachel a lesson" Mrs Torres said

He let go of Mina's arm and turned to his mother. "Didn't I tell you to leave Rachel alone?"

"No, I won't let her be at peace until she leaves you alone"

"She will never leave me and I will never leave her, do you understand me!?

"I hate you Rachel" she ran to Rachel to slap her again, but Chad was fast, he grabbed her by her wrist and said, "Don't you dare hurt her" he said and turned his mom around forcefully. She could have fallen down, but Mina stepped forward and helped her from falling.

She turned and looked at Chad. "What have you become, my son" she couldn't believe her son will do that for this poor worker.

"You have turned me into what I have become now. If you don't want me to become more evil then don't hurt Rachel again" he said, grabbed Rachel's hand and started towards the car leaving his mother and Mina behind. Johanna immediately followed them and the car drove off.

"I promise I will kill that girl Rachel" she yelled.

In the car.

Chad took Rachel's face in his hands as he examined her face. "I am sorry for what my mom did to you" he felt so sorry for what his mother did to Rachel.

Her face were red and swollen because of the slap she got.

"Chad, I am sorry to say this, but your mother is going crazy already. If she doesn't like Rachel then she should let her be and I think that girl Mina is also the curse of everything, if you don't send that witch to where she came from, she won't let Rachel be" Johanna said.

She was actually telling the truth. Mrs Torres is going to make Rachel's life a living hell and Mina won't let Rachel get married to Chad.

"I know and I..."

"It's not her fault. Chad hurt Mina and that's why she is angry with me" She turned to Chad and said, "Didn't I tell you not to hurt Mina? Didn't I tell you to let it go? You have caused it yourself. Do you really don't want people to stop hurting me? If you want your mom and Mina to stop hurting me then you have to stop hurting Mina too" she yelled at him angrily.

His heart ached immediately. He only wanted to protect Rachel from Mina. He really did not want anybody to hurt her.

"Are you now satisfied? Huh?"

He did not respond as he continued to stare at her.

"Are you not going to say anything?"

"Rachel, you should at least appreciate him for what he did. He stood against his mother just for only you" Johanna said.

She realized what she had said to Chad and felt guilty, but she didn't want to admit defeat. "Did I beg him to go against his mother for me? Huh?"

Sadness filled Chad's face immediately. His heart sank and he wanted to talk, but couldn't say anything. He fixed her with sorrow in his eyes for few seconds then later said, "Driver, we are going to the hospital"
