Burning Passion: Love Never Die

"You're only doing all this by relying on Carlos. Find some proof on your own, I dare you!"

"I rely on Carlos. So what? He's my husband. We count on each other. I might not be able to find out everything you did, but Carlos sure can.

And now that I've seen the pathetic look on your face, I'll smile in my dreams tonight!"

Ever since Debbie knew Carlos' memory had returned, she refused to have sex with him. When Debbie said, "He's my husband. We count on each other", Carlos was greatly comforted by her words

"Pfft! Your husband? You and Carlos haven't even remarried yet. What a trollop you are to say that! If he Loved you, why hasn't he married you yet?" By now, James had figured out that Carlos had fully regained 
his memory.

Debbie flashed a smile at him.

"It's not that he doesn't want to marry me. He carries the divorce certificate and residence booklet around with him every day, just in case I agree to marry him. Your daughter tried everything to get this man, and yet I'm still considering whether or not to give him a second chance."

Her words had amused Carlos. 'When did she find out about that?' he wondered.

Everyone that was present in the operating room exchanged glances with each other. They couldn't believe their ears and looked at Carlos who was still smiling. They were all aware that he was one of the wealthiest men in the world. 'Since when did Carlos have to try so hard to get a woman?' they all wondered.

No longer in the mood to waste time speaking to James, Debbie cast a glance at the bodyguards. Taking the hint, they grabbed James by the shoulders and forced him to kneel down on the broken glass

"Argh!" His scream pierced the air in the operating room.

Most of the broken glass cut cruelly into his flesh and embedded into his skin. His face was now as pale as Stephanie's.

Carlos ignored his screams of pain and took Debbie into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Honey, there are so many of them watching

It'll be so humiliating if you still reject me. Let's remarry tomorrow and make them all jealous, okay?"

Debbie rolled her eyes at him. 'You think just because my tone softened

I would agree to marry you now? Yeah right! You wish. So she said softly, "I just need some more time."

Carlos was deeply disappointed and frustrated. Chasing Debbie was the most difficult task he ever had todo.

James didn't have much time to make his decision. Carlos nodded to the doctors, and they picked up the scalpels and were about to begin the surgery. James couldn't bear to watch. He gritted his teeth and bowed his head.

"Debbie, Carlos, I'm sorry. Please let my daughter go."

Meanwhile he thought to himself, 'Screw you, Carlos! You had your memory back and found out that Stephanie was my daughter a long time ago!'

Debbie shook her head and said through clenched teeth, "What kind of apology is that? Not sincere enough!"

James turned his head to look at Stephanie, who was lying on the hospital bed expressionless. From the very start, she had never said a word to him nor in his defense, but still, James apologized again humbly, "Carlos, Debbie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done those terrible things to you years ago."

Debbie felt much relief to finally hear those words coming from him.

She had waited a long time for them.

Then she noticed Stephanie just Lying there nonchalantly. Debbie shook her head in disapproval. 'While her father is apologizing on his knees for his daughter's sake, she is acting as if she doesn't give a damn.
