Much to everyone’s surprise, Debbie had personally responded to one of the negativementers on


    James. She wrote, “I don’t condone his behavior, but I understand it. After all, my former mother-inw


    has been sick for a while, so I get it…”


    Debbie’sment brought more people toment.


    “So his wife couldn’t give him any loving, and he was horny…” they wrote.


    Debbie made thement to deliberately give context to all this. Now she would look like she was


    sticking up for her poor former father-in-Law. Her revenge on James had just begun. So she didn’t want


    him to go down in mes too quickly. She wanted to torture him bit by bit. There would be more


    scandalster that she would unveil.


    Carlos had his ways of handling things. He was always able to get what he wanted in short order.


    In less than thirty minutes, Frankie called him and reported, “Carlos, we found out who sold the video to


    the media.”


    “yho?”


    “Debbie,” Frankie answered.

    That didn’t surprise Carlos at all. He figured as much. He took a drag on his cigarette and said calmly,


    “Ask Debbie toe to my office.”


    “Yes, Carlos.”


    Five minutester, Frankie called again.


    “Carlos… Debbie confirmed it was her. But she refused to meet you here. She said she was thrown out


    of your officest time and was humiliated. So…if you have anything to say to her… you can drop by


    her house. Any time.”


    Carlos sneered. ‘She’s got balls, I’ll give her that.’


    “Tell her, if I have to find her that way, we’ll do more than just talk.”


    Frankie then called Debbie back, and passed on Carlos’ warning, word for word.


    Debbie wasn’t scared. She told Frankie, “As I said, he’s wee here any time. I promise we won’t


    just talk. We can do something more interesting.”


    Frankie’s Lips twitched at her words. He wondered what he’d done in a previous Life to deserve this.


    Delivering “he said, she said” messages with sexual overtones? ‘Come on, guys. I’m just doing my job.’


    Instead of calling Carlos again, Frankie went straight to his office and reported what she’d said.


    Before he could respond, his cellphone rang. He tapped the answer key and said, “Hello, Aunt


    Miranda.”


    “Hi Carlos. We need to talk,” Miranda replied, cutting to the chase.


    ‘m Listening.”


    “Good. Don’t talk, just listen. First, stay out of your dad’s mess.


    It’splicated, and you don’t know the whole story. Second, don’t do anything to Debbie. You might


    regret itter. Third, you’d better think twice about marrying Stephanie. If you do, I’m sure you’ll regret it


    the day you get your memory back.”


    Carlos was stunned.


    “But… why would you say that?”
