“Whom do you want to marry the most?” he pried.
“Um…I want to marry… Gregory the most…” she grumbled. Carlos cared so much for Megan. Curtis had Colleen, and Emmett had Kasie. Only
Gregory was single.
Little did Gregory know that Carlos was growing a grudge against him because of Debbie’s drunken talk.
When the car slowly rolled into the manor’s parking Lot, Debbie pushed the car door open and jumped out. She ran towards the swimming pool without even noticing that she had Lost one of her shoes.

Standing before the wide pool, Debbie pointed to the water and yelled,
“I hate water. I hate swimming. I hate this pool! Get out of my way!
Get out of my way, you stupid pool!” If she didn’t know how to swim, she would have gotten drowned last time. Then she wouldn’t have to face all these annoying things in her life.
Carlos squatted down in front of her, raised her foot, and coaxed,
“Hold my shoulder.”
The lights around the swimming pool were off. The road Lamps were too dim for Debbie to see who was in front of her. She bent over and cupped his head in her hands, rubbing her cheeks against his head.
“Since when is there a puppy in the manor? Hi, little puppy! You’re so fluffy.”
‘Did Carlos buy this puppy for me?’ she thought in her drunken state.
Carlos went rigid when she called him a puppy. He tied her shoelaces quickly, stood up and pulled her into his arms.
“Do I look like a puppy to you?” he asked angrily.
Debbie squinted her eyes to look clearly and then screamed, “Aaaaargh!

She struggled hard to break free, but to no avail. Eventually, she burst into tears. In a choked voice, she complained, “Why are you so annoying? Letgo! Just go and date your dear Megan or Olga. I don’t want to see you again. Go ahead and marry Megan. I’ll be with Gregory!
I’ll sleep with him!”
Carlos believed he would be driven mad if he allowed Debbie to continue talking, so he scooped her up into his arms and threatened, “One more word about Gregory and I’ll throw him into the Pacific for the sharks to feed on! Then you won’t see him ever again.”
He hated Gregory more than Hayden now. There was a crisis in Hayden’s company, and he hadn’t left his office for a couple of days.
As for Gregory, Carlos didn’t want to deal with him for Curtis’ and
Colleen’s sake. He could only threaten Debbie with his life.
Debbie was restless in his arms-she cried, yelled and thumped him with her fists. When he finally managed to get her into the bathroom, he broke out in a sweat despite the cold winter.
