??: "Daniel" 

He turns around and sees someone which is none other than his MOM his heart sinks when he sees her. His mom had a very angry expression on her face. Hazel was too stunned to move nor speak. He looks at his mom with a guilt expression. She angrily steps towards the couple. 

Daniel: "Mom, I can explain..." 

Daniel steps in front shielding Hazel from his mother's glare.

Mrs. Hernandez: "Explain what? What the hell are you even doing with a maid?" 

She shouts and then glares at Hazel. 

Daniel: "It's not what you think mom..we...we are not doing anything wrong" 

Mrs. Hernandez: "You're doing everything wrong Daniel!! you're making a relationship with a maid!! have you lost your mind?" 

Daniel clenches his jaw, his patience wearing thin. 

Daniel: "It's not about her being a maid mom! it's about how I feel for her. I care about her. I want to be with her!" 

Mrs. Hernandez: "No way in hell you'll be with her. I disapprove this bullshit" 

His eyes darken with anger, his fists clenching tightly showing his veins. 

Daniel: "You can't dictate, who I love mom! I'm a grown man I can make my own decision" 

Hearing all the yelling and shouting's Mr. Hernandez comes into the garden. 

Mr. Hernandez: "What's wrong? why is there so much of noise?" 

His mom angrily glares at them before speaking. 

Mrs. Hernandez: "Ask your son, do you know what he has even done? he is in a relationship with a maid which is she!! this girl Hazel" 

His dad looks at him shocked not believing what he heard. 

Mr. Hernandez: "Is it true Daniel?" 

Daniel: "yes dad! I love Hazel and I want to be with her"  

His dad also becomes angry in less than a minute. 

Mr. Hernandez: "So this is the reason why you rejected Emma" 

Daniel: "Yes because I don't love her, I love Hazel" 

He replies with confidence & courage. 

Mrs. Hernandez: "You are NOT marrying HER!!" 

Daniel's anger reaches boiling point at his mom's words. He steps closer to her, his voice dangerous yet low. 

Daniel: "You do not get to decide that mom, I'll marry whoever I want to, and I want to marry her" 

Hazel gets worried seeing the heated argument between him and his parents, she holds his arm stopping him. 

Hazel: "Daniel please no..." 

she whispers. He turns to look at her his eyes automatically softening he sighs pressing her hand in a comforting manner seeing them Mrs. Hernandez's blood boils, so she says something which shocked everyone including the maids who were all gathered there seeing the drama Lilly feels bad for her friend but couldn't do anything. 

Mrs. Hernandez: "Okay then!! choose her or your company post if you choose her, you're no longer the CEO nor my son" 

His own widen seeing how much his mom doesn't like seeing him being happy with the things he wants. His heart clenches painfully as he hears his mom's ultimatum. Daniel looks at her his eyes filled with anguish and indecision admiring her, Hazel nods as a no he smiles a little at her before saying. He is torn conflicted between his heart and his duty.  

Daniel: "I choose her. I'm choosing my happiness over anything else. And you should accept it" 

There's a brief moment of surprise with anger followed behind on his mom's face the same goes with his dad. 

Mrs. Hernandez: "You're choosing her? you're choosing her over your family's legacy? You're a fool. A complete fool!!" 

His mother says, her voice shaking with anger. 

Hazel's eyes widen in shock, she pulls his arm. 

Hazel: "Daniel no please don't do that" 

Her eyes beg him. Daniel turns to look at her, his expression soft as he looks at Hazel. He gently takes her face in his hands, his thumb brushing over her cheek. 

Daniel: "No, sweetheart. I'm done sacrificing my happiness for others. I want you and I'm not letting you go" 

She looks at him with moist eyes filled with love & happiness. Never in her whole life someone gave her that much importance but here he is sacrificing everything for her. His mom shouts at him which makes both of them to break their eyes contact. 

Mrs. Hernandez: "Leave my house!! get out right now" 

Daniel looks at his mom angrily before whispering softly. He leans in and kisses her forehead his thumb still cradling her face. 

Daniel: "Let's go love" 

He holds her hand tightly in his. 

Daniel: "we're leaving" 

Mrs. Hernandez: "You still have time" 

He stops looks at their hand held together then turns around to look at his mom, his eyes burning with determination as he answers.  

Daniel: "I'm not leaving everything for her. I'm leaving everything for us. For what we have together. And I have all the time in his world because I've already made my decision" 

He turns back around and starts walking out of the house. As they walk out of the house Daniel holds onto her hand tightly, his heart pounding in his chest. He can't believe he's doing this, but he feels a sense of freedom and liberation he's never experienced before.
