             "What is she doing here with him?" she asks and suddenly Caleb pulls them back to the room before She could see them.

         "Why did you do that?"

         "It should be the same reason why you are whispering."

"Why do we need to hide?"

"Because your husband is crazy. He will find a way to make you look like you are the one who started this and will humiliate you in front of everyone."

"Wait. Does this mean Bridget is with him?" Caleb asks.

"David does not do anything to women. He usually tries to touch me but even if I accepted his touches, that would be it. He can't get hard."

"That is new?" he says making it sound like a question than an answer.

"I don't know, maybe that has changed."

"Does anyone else know about it?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"You know what? That's enough of him. Let's focus on us."

He pins her on the door and presses his lips on hers and she happily

Lets him in. They do that for the next half an hour and in no time they again use the bed.

         On the other hand, David was still thinking about what he saw back there. He wanted to go and see if it was true but then he remembered he would get caught with Bridget since she was also coming out of the room at that moment.

He couldn't help but feel jealous at the thought that someone was having fun with her. It actually could not get off his head. Now not even Bridget matters at the moment. He just texted her to get a taxi which he already paid and off he goes to his house.

Straight he goes to his room and Rachel is not there. He decides to call her but she is not reachable.

"Damn it!" he curses as he throws his phone on the ground.

No matter what he does he just fails to keep calm. He keeps throwing things one by one. Melisa quickly gets inside, she gets afraid of even getting near him since he is capable of hurting anyone at this point.

Seeing him like this hurt her so much as she was reminded of what she had to go through because of everyone that tortured her and her son to the point he became the type of person he is today.

She remembers when she was told to marry her husband and leave the man she loved the most because he was not worth it. He took his virginity and freedom just so she could see a day like this over and over again. The bastard came just like his father. He tortured his son knowing he got his father's back.

The mistress died, but the son lived. Now that he is dead, the wife still causes the family pain. It feels like a legacy. One loophole and the torture continue. Of all the women out there, she had to be the only one, loved by both of them. He thinks he is doing it for revenge but that is not true. He wants to hold on to her because he hopes that one day she will love him just like how he loves her.

Of course, Rachel thinks she is the victim here. Since she did not see how David lived back then. If only she accepted the fact that the company belonged to David and not her, maybe life would be better at the moment. Maybe David would be doing much better at the moment. But that is no longer the case. David gets worse every day, the main reason inside being the thought of not being loved enough. All these thoughts come into her head when she sees the mess his son is making. And this is why she hates Rachel so much.

Tears are the last thing she lets out at the moment. There is no greater pain than a mother not being able to help her child. If only she could take the pain his son is feeling, she gladly would. She can't bare to see him in the state he is in right now. His hands are now covered with blood caused by bruises from broken pieces of glass.

"Not her mother, I can't lose her to another idiot. I was not born to be a LOSER!" He shouts the last word. His hands are trembling, his face is full of sweat.

"If only you let go of her, only that day will you find out what your blessings are," she whispers almost to herself.

"I am tired of seeing my son like this. We are becoming beasts every day. Why can't we start our own life without her? David, your worth is more than hers. Please don't torture me like this. I am your mother, I want to see my son happy at least once before I die." she begs as more tears fall from her eyes.

"Now even my mother is tired of me," he smirks

"Aren't mothers supposed to stay by their son's side? What you are doing instead is going out with younger than your son."

"If your father showed at least 50% of his love, I would not crave to be loved! I am a human being and I need to be treated as a woman too!"

"Then that is how you will lose your son!" he shouts harder than before.

"oh really!" she takes her shoes off.

"You want me to be your mother right?" she starts walking on the broken pieces of glass. Something that surprises David.

"Mother what are you doing?" he panics. She keeps walking until she can't take it anymore and falls on her knees, the pieces of glass cut the part that touched the ground.

"Mom are you crazy?" he quickly runs to her before she completely falls to the ground.

"Is this what I should do to win the best mother Grammy?" she lets a tear out as she looks at her son.

"Mom!" He whispers

Quickly he calls the servants and he carries her mother to his car and starts the engine as one of the servants is with the patient in the back seat of the car. He runs to the hospital at the highest speed and that makes the servant even tenser

Rachel reaches her house. Surprisingly the first thing she sees is a drop of blood on one of the stares. She looks around but nobody is near enough to ask. She reaches the corridor and sees two servants coming out with bins and brooms. They get startled a little bit when they see her. She gives them a 'what happened to look?' They look at each other before one of them decides to answer.

"David threw glasses, and his mother walked on them purposely." 

"Why would she do that?" she asks.

"We are not sure, but before that, they were fighting." Rachel lets them go to the room of the event.

"She will not be able to walk for the next couple of days. The damage is pretty bad but not to the extent we cannot fix it. I think you should also see a psychiatrist for her mental health. It's not normal for a person to purposely hurt herself like this." David could barely hear what the doctor said until the last part. It drove him nuts. It drove him crazy. It ignited the fire of anger inside his chest and that always does not end well.

At the speed of 240km/hr, everyone who saw his car must be genuinely surprised or praying he does not get into an accident. The guards themselves had to quickly move away as he didn't seem to care if he would knock any of them. He is rich after all. He can surely take care of that, can't he?

He unbuckles up and gets off the car.

"Rachel!" just like how Clause would call Rebekah. The quiet vibe of the house is now turned into fear.

Rachel seems calm. Quietly she goes out of her room. Down the stares she sees him with his hands on his waist, he does this whenever he is too angry. She has to pretend to be brave, again. She goes downstairs. But before she could finish them David steps closer to her and give her one fitful slap. He grabs her hair and pulls her to the open space.

 Almost everyone in the house is already there, watching what was thought to exist only in movies. Some cry and some are silently smiling.

"Listen, everyone! My wife here, has been caught red-handed cheating on me!" he shouts and suddenly he smiles. With her hair, he lifts her head as Rachel is trying to grab his hands off it. He looks her in the eyes as she is already crying.

"You are the reason why my mother is in the hospital now. Why she is getting tired of me just like everyone else!"  Rachel finally grabs his hands off her hair, her breathing beyond normal.

"I would say you were cheating on me with my secretary, but I can't! why? " she laughs in anger.

"Because you cannot function as a man!"
