Take My Breath Away

Debbie continued reading the diary and became infuriated. It read, "I accidentally hit Kasie, Debbie's friend. Why didn't she just die like that? With Kasie dead, Debbie's life would be hell. If Debbie was unhappy, then Carlos would be unhappy too. I was frightened after I hit her. I bought off someone to eliminate the surveillance video. But Carlos still found out about it somehow. He had his men recover the surveillance video. I was worried that he would report me to the police, so I went to his office and begged him to delete the surveillance video and help me. But he didn't. Ha-ha! So this is the man who swore that he would take care of me forever. He's so cold-hearted.

It was the worst time of my life when I was behind bars. I swear I'll send them to jail one day—Debbie, Carlos, and Wesley. I'll make them pay for what they've done to me."

After reading the diary for a while, both Debbie and Colleen felt that there must have been something wrong with Megan's mental state. They could feel her dark and gloomy thoughts just by reading the diary.

They also found Stephanie mentioned in Megan's diary.

Debbie had always been curious about why Stephanie and Megan got along so well with each other. However, after reading the diary, she discovered that it wasn't like that at all. Stephanie and Megan were also enemies.

Megan had done many things to drive a wedge between Carlos and Stephanie. She acted intimately with him before Stephanie, pretended to be ill so Carlos would come to her place late at night, and so on. She did similar things to separate Carlos and Debbie as well. However, unlike Debbie, Stephanie was extremely cruel and merciless.

She hired people to go to Megan's college and frighten her. They would beat her in the beginning.

Back then, when Debbie got to Megan's apartment, Stephanie was there too. Stephanie had gone there to question Megan why she had done so many things to separate her and Carlos.

Megan had even slapped Stephanie before Debbie arrived. Perhaps Megan was too weak, so there was no palm print on Stephanie's face.

Later, Megan was hospitalized for drinking raw eggs. Before long after she had been discharged from the hospital, something bad happened to her.

The bodyguards Carlos had hired for Megan sensed that Carlos and Wesley had become indifferent toward Megan. So they weren't as responsible as before.

This allowed Stephanie to do something terrible to her. One day, two men grabbed Megan and dragged her to one of the groves near the college. In the grove, they raped her.

Megan didn't know whom the men worked for, but she assumed that it must have something to do with Stephanie. Since she had no proof, she had to keep it a secret first.

Debbie's reappearance had stressed Stephanie. She wasn't dumb. The flirtation between Carlos and Debbie didn't escape her eye. She told Megan that she would deal with her first, and then handle Debbie, who was bold and good at martial arts.

Megan's last diary entry was still about Debbie. It read, "Debbie is getting married to another man. Carlos looks so sad. Wow! What a wonderful day! He will be giving her away himself. I wonder if he'll kick himself once he gets his memory back. They love each other but can't be together. Let it be this way forever! Make them suffer! Ha-ha!"

Debbie closed the notebook and looked at Colleen. Disbelief was written all over their faces.

Both were silent and deep in thought for a long while. Colleen finally broke the silence and exclaimed, "Oh my! Am I daydreaming? This woman was despicable. All she did was mess with Carlos and Wesley. It's a good thing that she's dead. Otherwise, I don't know what would happen."

Debbie nodded. "Stephanie is indeed James' daughter. They're both cruel and scheming. She hired people to kill Megan and framed me for it." Thinking about that, she shuddered with fear. When she first met Stephanie, she thought she was a pretty and elegant businesswoman. The saying was indeed right—never judge a man by his appearance.

"Stephanie wanted to kill two birds with one stone! She could get rid of both Megan and you by doing this. Luckily, Carlos helped you out. Otherwise, things would have been rather complicated," Colleen commented. She had met Stephanie several times before. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that Stephanie could be such a vicious woman.

"Maybe it's because she loves Carlos so much," Debbie sighed. 'Luckily, Megan never loved Carlos. She just wanted to avenge her parents' death. If she loved Carlos, she might have done more crazy things, ' she thought.

Colleen looked at Debbie and asked curiously, "Debbie, what is it that you want? Now that Carlos has his memory back, why don't you get back with him?"

Debbie shook her head. "Oh Colleen, you don't know how he treated me in his amnesia. If it weren't for Piggy and you guys, I would've been struck with depression again. Nevertheless, I won't have a row with Carlos for now. We still have common enemies. I'm not that stupid to push him away. After dealing with James and Stephanie, I'll make Carlos pay for what he had done to me. Revenge is a dessert better served cold."

After saying that, Debbie gave Colleen a cunning smile.

Colleen patted her shoulder and said, "Sis, your plan is great! I'm behind you a hundred percent. However, you better not push him to other women. You know, your husband is popular."

"Rest assured. I don't give a damn about the other women. If he genuinely loves me, he won't make me sad." Debbie firmly believed that Carlos was head over heels in love with her.

Footsteps could be heard from outside the office, and then the door was pushed open. Carlos and Curtis came in.

Debbie pulled out her phone to check the time. It was already 1 a.m.

"Honey!" Carlos pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.

With a blushed face, Debbie pushed him away and spat out, "Get away from me. I'm not your honey."

Colleen stood up and walked towards Curtis. "Carlos, if you want to marry Debbie, you'll have to get permission from us first. After all, Curtis is her uncle," she said playfully.

Carlos held Debbie's waist and said, "After my wife has said yes, I'll talk with you two."

"Man, we're not as accommodating as Debbie," Curtis said with a smile.

Carlos raised an eyebrow. 'Debbie is accommodating? You've got to be kidding me.'

Carlos had recovered his memory for quite some time now, but Debbie still hadn't agreed to remarry him. This frustrated Carlos to no end.

On the way to Carlos' manor, Debbie pondered on Megan's diary entries.

Carlos took her hand and kissed it nonstop, which annoyed her. She pulled her hand back and snapped at him, "Enough! You're drooling all over my hand, and it's gross!"

Carlos was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.

He looked at her smooth hand. There was no saliva at all!
