"I can't live without him and you clearly know that, I would rather be dead than see him not close to me. I can't bear the feeling,"Rachel sobbed in her room and her mother Mrs Rodriguez and her nanny were at the door urging her to open and eat for she had not taken anything for the past 4 days.

Mrs Rodriguez was worried for her child and wondered how she would help her as she was not willing to talk to her and tell her what was the actual reason that Harry broke off their engagement that was set to happen in two weeks time. 

Rachel and Harry had been college sweetheart and known each other since they were little children. They went to the same highschool and college and were separated when Rachel went to live with her father in Spain but she came back and both Harry and Rachel rekindled their love and were to be engaged.

For the past one week, Rachel has been out of her mind, yelling and doing things that led her to pain. Mrs Rodriguez could not handle seeing her daughter in that state and she knew she would call the only person Rachel confided in, her father Mr Rodriguez. 

"You need to catch the next plane as soon as possible, she is turning into a masochist and am afraid of what she will do to herself next, she is not talking to me. I know we have our differences but let's get together for the sake of our daughter,"Mrs Rodriguez was heard talking to her ex husband. 

The next nine hours were the hardest for Mrs Rodriguez as Rachel was heard breaking things in her room and screaming her lungs out. Mrs Rodriguez asked for the keys to the room but Rachel threaten to kill herself if anyone dared open the door to her room. 

                           *******

Rachel felt guilty because she knew the reason for the engagement to be called of was her. Harry was running late from work and they were to meet in the Reyes' hotel in Harry's room. Rachel had the key to the room and so she let her self in. Harry had just called to let her know that she will be late and that she should eat before he arrives as they had planned to have dinner together. 

When Harry got to his hotel room he did not believe his eyes. The scene before him made him run out of breath. Rachel was being intimate with the gym instructor and when they saw Harry they both got scared. 

Harry's eyes were shot red as he looked at Rachel with disgust. He ran out of the hotel and drove away. One day after the incident, Harry called of the engagement and did not convey the reason for it. 

Harry's parents Mr and Mrs Reyes were not pleased with the call off as every prominent personnel in the city was invited to the engagement.

Mr Rodriguez arrived at the house and headed to his daughters door. As soon as he spoke the door to Rachel's room opened and Rachel came out with swelled up eyes. She let his father in and closed the door leaving her mother outside.

"Please baby, talk to me. What's wrong? Why did Harry call of the engagement? If you two can fix the problem then you should talk to him," Mr Rodriguez sympathized with her daughter. 

"He will never forgive me for what I did to him, I know he doesn't even want to see me let alone talk to me," Rachel spoke to his father uncontrollable tears fell down her cheek. 

"What did you do? He loves you am sure he will forgive you and you can both get engaged as you had planned. "Not this time dad, I cheated on him and he caught me red handed with Smith. He will never forgive me," Rachel confessed to his father 

"The gym guy?" I thought you ended things with him months ago," Mr Rodriguez was in a dilemma. "Yes I did but he followed me to the hotel room where we were to meet with Harry and I could not control myself around him so we ……"Rachel was unable to finish the statement because she was losing her breath she countinued "......and …and Harry caught us. 

"It's all my fault for allowing Smith come close to me knowing very well that I have a sexual history with him and we can't control ourselves around each other.

"Don't beat yourself up, everything is going to be alright and Harry will forgive you," Mr Rodriguez comforted Rachel

"I know him well dad he will not forgive me for cheating on him. He hates lies more than anything,"Rachel said to his father. "We will have to talk to Me Reyes about the situation and explain to him he will know how to handle the situation. 

Rachel got ready to head out together with his father with an aim of talking to Mr Reyes. Rachel went to the living room cabinet and took her car keys. Mrs Rodriguez was left at the door asking what they had talked about and where they were headed.

                        ********

" I can never understand what is wrong with this generation,they think marriage is a joke they can call it off and on when they feel like it,"Mrs Reyes was angry and venting to his husband when they were both in the study room. 

"What has gotten into Harry? He called of his engagement with Rachel without giving us an appropriate reason as to his action. Now I wonder how the world sees us," she sonbed quietly. 

"I will find out what happened and I will fix this mess,try coming down or you blood pressure will shoot up and that will not be proper,"Mr Reyes said to his wife as he called the maid to take Mrs Reyes to her room to rest.

A car was heard approaching the compound and Mr Reyes looked out through the study rooms window and saw Mr Rodriguez and Rachel approaching the mansion.

He got up from behind the desk and greeted them. “How are you Mr Rodriguez ,am do sorry for what happened, I was not aware and I have no clue what's going on,” Mr Reyes said Mr Reyes looked at Rachel and noticed that her eyes were red. He came to the conclusion that she had been crying for a long time. “Please don't cry,we will come to an amicable solution to the situation or I will make him marry you. You must be my daughter in law,” Mr Reyes continued. “I know what's wrong, the reason as to why Harry called of the engagement with my daughter,”Mr Rodriguez spoke. Mr Reyes looked at them with a questioning look. “Harry found Rachel in a compromising situation with the gym guy and that's the reason he called off the engagement,” Mr Rodriguez said. Mr Reyes was amazed on hearing the statement that was just made. Rachel knelt before him and pleaded with him.”I know I committed a grave

    Tom finished talking over the phone and looked at Alicia who was growing impatient with him. “ I am here to reason with you because I see that you aren't sensible enough. You should think with your head. You are about to commit murder and you are making me an accomplice to a crime that I don't accept,”Alicia said.“Point of correction,not a murder but another murder. You are already involved with the crime that we have committed and about to commit. Don't worry everything is in order and the assassin is just waiting for my orders so that he can move forward with the plan,” Tom said to Alicia with an evil smile on his face.

He took it to the reserved parking spot while Harry got to his private lift that no one used it. The lift door closed and he pressed the button to his floor. He tried coming down by taking deep breaths and none of that helped. He untied his tie and unbuttoned his shirt which revealed his neck. The sound of the lift indicating that it had reached the top floor rang and the lift opened. The floor to his office had only two of his personal secretaries and his office. Although he was in a foul mood he greeted them and they responded.

    “You can do this, I believe in you,push Tamara,I can see one of them coming,push,”these were the words that rang in her mind for an hour until she got her bundle of joy. Beside her were the two lovely faces that she had ever laid her eyes upon. The children beside her made her forget the pain that she had gone through and she had decided to start a new life without everyone in it. Although she missed having Patricia with her she thought it was best that she did not make contact with her to keep her safe. She figured out by now she might have told Harry that she was pregnant and he was probably cursing himself for doing what he did to her. Footsteps were heard from outside the door. George came into the room and smiled at her. “I told you, you would do it. I always believed in you. What are you going to name your beautiful girls? You know you have to give them a name eventually,”he said with a smile on his face. Tamara looked at them and her eyes tested on the beautiful moles that

The only way that you could agree to be with her was when Tamara died and that's what he was going to do.

We got a call from one of the doctors and you are acting as if you do not see us,this is so unprofessional of you and I will surely make a complaint on the wrong services,”Harry said angrily.
