“I know,” she said in a low voice. ‘I know that he did everything for my own good, but I really can’t


    ept anyone from that family.’


    “Debbie, your mom didn’t abandon you on purpose,” he said softly.


    ‘Ramona had her own reasons for doing that.’


    “I have no mom!” Debbie yelled into the phone at the top of her lungs


    She lost it when Curtis mentioned her mother.


    Bitterness flooded Curtis. He never thought that Debbie hated Ramona so much. He tried to coax her,


    “Okay, okay. Please don’t be mad. Listen to me. Let’s just pretend that none of this happened, and live


    happily like always. Okay?”


    ‘Live happily Like always? I see that woman on TV every day. How can I pretend Like nothing has


    changed?


    It’s Lucky that I’m leaving this country…’ An idea suddenly popped into her mind. She wanted to call


    Carlos and tell him that she never wanted toe back to Alorith, ever again.


    Without answering Curtis’ question, she hung up abruptly.


    After a few moments’ consideration, she called Emmett.


    “Is everything ready for my departure?” she asked.


    “Yes, Debbie. Everything is ready. Zelda is booking a ticket for you to


    Ennd for the day after tomorrow,” he replied.


    Closing her eyes, she said, “I want to get on a flight to Ennd tomorrow.”


    “What?! Debbie, is something wrong?” he asked in disbelief.


    “Nope. Just book the ticket for me. Oh, and don’t tell Carlos,” Debbie said into her phone. She was now


    in a thoroughly bad mood, and her mind shed back to the scenes of the painful memories of her and


    Carlos bickering over Megan. ALL these scenes were on repeat in her brain-all the times they shed


    over one woman. And that wasn’t all. Hayden had been bugging her-practically stalking her, and the


    Hilton family members hated her on top of all that. She needed a break from the hate, the fighting, the


    bad feelings…all of it. All she wanted to do was fly to Ennd alone.

    Words failed Emmett. He knew Carlos would beat him to a pulp if he honored Debbie’s request.


    Carlos was often busy at work, but he was going to take the morning off and drive Debbie to the airport.


    She was supposed to Leave the day after tomorrow.


    But Emmett had a hard time turning Debbie down. She was always nice to him, and he found himself


    Liking her. So he decided to do as she said.


    When Carlos got home in the evening, Debbie wasn’t there. He called her, but he got Kasie instead.


    When he asked her to put his wife on the phone, she replied, “No can do, Carlos. Debbie’s in the


    Ladies’ room.”


    “Okay. Where are you?”


    “We…we’re at the restaurant. You know, Debbie’s taking off soon.


    We’re giving her a farewell dinner,” Kasie answered with the utmost care.


    “Which restaurant?”


    “A hotpot restaurant on Tenth Street,” she said honestly.
