I pulled my face from his touch and moved to get an outfit from the wardrobe. A maxi dress. That will do, I thought.

"Dolores." Rafael called out, making his presence known. I don't want to give him an answer now I am not even in the mood to start recalling the events of yesterday.

"Rafael, I will think about it. I can't just let it go, you really hurt me. Now all I want is to go visit my mother." I say as I put on my underwear. I didn't even care that I was naked, he is after all my fiancé.

"So you are running now? Why can't we just solve this? What happens when we eventually get married and we fight? Who will you run to?" His voice has hardened with anger. Why is he angry?

"And what is the best way to solve this? Enlighten me. " I said crossing my arms over my chest regarding him with a quizzical look.

"Dolores I__" He was about to say something and then stopped. "The chauffeur is at your disposal. " He said as he made to leave the room.

He paused at the door.
"Dolores, just promise you'll be back. " He said softly looking me in the eye, he looked so vulnerable, like a child rejected.

"I will baby. I'll be back. " I said, looking away as I could not stand to see the look on his face.

With a nod, he left the room. Its clear that he's actually sorry but he hit me, where it hurts the most.

Did he expect me to open arms immediately right after he apologized? What would be the point of me getting angry at all? He would not even learn his lesson.

I put on my dress and just then Sidney walks in..

"Where are you going Dolores? Breakfast is ready. Bertha has made your favorite." She says, standing by the bed.

I give myself one last look in the mirror before picking up my bag, putting my essentials in it.

"I'm not staying for breakfast. I'm going to see my mom. " I say, looking at her. She has already showered. Her face contorts at my words.

"Why, Dolores?" She asks me. "What happened with you and Rafael?" She adds moving towards me. I'm not ready to talk about it with anybody yet.

"I'm not ready to talk about it," I tell her what was on my mind, hoping she'll understand.

"Okay...it's alright. Have fun with your mom. And Solana is coming in today. Their sister. " She tells and she doesn't look too excited about it.

"Have you met her?" I ask.

"Yeah. I mean I've seen her but we've never really spoken to each other. She's coming in with her husband but they're staying in a hotel. " She tells me.

"Okay. Well if anything she's nothing like her mother. She's nice." I try to reassure her.

"Okay well bye. See you later. " She says as we both leave the room. She walks me to the front door.

"Dolores" She says getting my attention. "Rafael loves you. Whatever he's done or said to annoy you just know that he still loves you, that's how they are. " She leaves me to think about her words.

I open the door and hop into the car. I give the chauffeur the address of where I'm heading to. I know that he's going to report anywhere I go to Rafael.

"Dolores!" My mother shouts when she opens the door. "You didn't say you were coming. I have a visitor. " She drags me into the house.

"How are my babies doing?" She says looking expectantly at my protruding belly like she's waiting for a reply.

"They are fine, mother. I'm fine too, not that you asked. " I say instinctively rubbing my belly.
