Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Eventually, without a word, he let go of Debbie and left the room, slamming the door behind him. Quiet spread across the room. Debbie sat back on the bed.

Blankly, she looked out the window. But she really didn’t see anything.

She was exhausted and wanted nothing more than sleep. Slowly, she lay down and drifted off.

To her surprise, for the next three days, she didn’t even see Carlos once. The sun rose and set, just like it always did. But she endured.

She prepared her meals robotically, not having much of an appetite

She would have thought he had gone missing if Emmett hadn’t re-posted a news article saying that Carlos had negotiated a contract with an overseas-funded enterprise.

This was the Longest gof the silent treatment they had ever played.

In New York

Carlos’ car sped into the Hilton’s residence. He got out of the car gloomily and went straight to the study on the second floor.

On his way, he saw Tabitha, but he only greeted her flatly. The grimness on his face told her that something was wrong. Her heart tightened. She followed him all the way up the stairs. She knew something was going to happen. Everyone could feel it-a tension in the air.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw James in the study, Carlos dashed over and greeted him with his fist.

Covering the side of his face that Carlos had struck, James glared at him and shouted, “Have you Lost your mind? I’m your father!”

Carlos grabbed James’ collar and stared at him fiercely.

“How are you a father? Did you earn respect from your family? What kind of father would hurt his own daughter-in-law?”

Tabitha screamed and ran towards Carlos. She tried to hold him back.

“Carlos! Carlos, what’s this about? Listen to me, son. Calm down.”

Carlos gave his mother a cold look and asked, “How could you do this to my wife?” He gritted his teeth in anger and added, “Debbie has always respected you. Is this what she deserved from my parents?”

James still didn’t think he did anything wrong.

“I never accepted her as my daughter-in-law. I won’t allow her to give birth to your child.”

“So you told the servants to put crushed birth control pills in her food?” asked Carlos, grinding his teeth to suppress his growing anger.

His eyes blazed and seemed to stare deep into James’ black rotting soul.

James attempted to wrench free, but compared to his son, he was too weak. Pretending to be composed, he said, “They were just birth control pills, not poison! Did you have to fly all the way from Alorith for this?”

‘Just birth control pills?’ Within Carlos’ heart, his father’s image sank to a new low.

“Yes, they were poison. You’ve been feeding her cumulative poison!”

Saying that, he swung a second fist towards James’ face.
