He was incredibly busy. After visiting Valerie, he had to go and meet
Stephanie’s parents.
In Alorith
It had been four days since Carlos had left for New York. Debbie stared dejectedly out the window. Not
too far away, workers were working. That ce used to be a vi which her music studio and yoga
room were in, but then James had it demolished and nted a garden instead. Now
Carlos hired these workers to build a new vi there.

Debbie turned away from the construction site. ‘Ugh! This is so boring, she thought and pulled out her
phone to call Carlos. The call connected soon, and before the man could speak, she spat, “Carlos, I
need to get out of this house today. If you still refuse to let me leave, I will not divorce Ivan!”
“okay.”

She was ready for a retort, not having expected that he would agree so easily.
“What?” she asked in disbelief.
“Where are you going today?” he asked, his voice devoid of any emotion.
“Did my threat work?’ she wondered.
“I need to go to work. And I also want to pick Piggy up from the kindergarten myself,” she replied
“ALL right.”
“since when has Carlos been so open to persuasion? Is he plotting something?’ She scrunched up her
eyebrows.
But Carlos said nothing more and hung up on her abruptly.
Confused, Debbie stared at her phone, wondering what he was doing in
New York right now.
“Whatever! I can focus on my work now.’
Debbie called Ruby and began to schedule her work. She had many ads to shoot.
One day, when she had just finished a photo shoot for the cover of a magazine, her phone rang. She
picked it up from the table and checked the caller ID-it was an unknown number.
‘It’s probably someone from the Hilton family, * she reckoned.
“Hello?” She answered the phone.
“Debbie?” came an unfamiliar woman’s voice.
“Yes. Who is this?”
After a moment’s pause, the woman answered, “Glenda, Stephanie’s mother. I’m in Alorith right now.
How about you and I have a cup of tea together this afternoon?”
