Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Every one of her questions was answered.

“Aargh! Gail suddenly screamed so loud her voice startled the other three women in the villa.

Debbie looked at Gail, astonished, but Gail screamed at her again. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Debbie, why did you get to marry Carlos?! Why? Aargh! That relationship must fail!

“Gail must be crazy!” Debbie thought.

Lucinda knew that Gail was acting unreasonably because she couldn’t take the news well. She felt physically and mentally exhausted. Even she herself didn’t know how Gail had turned out to be like that.

Sitting on the sofa listlessly with red eyes, Gail mumbled to Debbie,

“When we were little, Grandpa often bought you princess dresses. When you wore your pretty Little dress and ignored me with other kids, I swore I would marry better and be happier than you when we grew up.”

Gail’s maternal grandpa, that was, Debbie’s paternal grandpa, had spoiled Debbie when he was alive. He was always buying new clothes for her.

On the other hand, Gail’s paternal grandpa was biased in favor of her male cousins and treated her indifferently. Therefore, every time she saw her maternal grandpa spoil Debbie, she felt jealous

When Debbie was ten, the Nelson Group was given to the Loftus Group in payment for debts, and then her grandpa passed away. Meanwhile, her father suffered from a rare illness, which cost at Least ten million dollars in two years. From then on, Debbie was no longer a princess

When the Nelson family’s financial woes began, only Lucinda and

Sebastian had helped them, and Debbie had been invited to the Murphy family’s house very often

Unable to stand the attention her parents were showering on Debbie,

Gail felt her space invaded, and soon in retaliation, she started to bully Debbie around.

Not to trouble her aunt and uncle, Debbie had stoically endured Gail’s bullying.

But one rainy day, Debbie’s endurance came to an end. That day,

Debbie’s dad was in the hospital in a coma. The doctors needed an adult relative’s signature for the operation. Debbie thought of her aunt, so she came to her house for help. However, it was Gail who answered the door; and she wouldn’t Let Debbie in.

If it had ended like that, Debbie wouldn’t have hated her so much. That rainy night, Gail had pushed Debbie into a kennel and kept her there with a dog for an entire night.

The next morning, a housemaid found Debbie when she went to the kennel to feed the dog. She was shocked! Immediately, she woke up Sebastian and Lucinda. When the kennel was opened, in the biting cold of late fall, Debbie was carried out unconscious and freezing. For three days, she remained hospitalized, running a fever. Shocked at the heinous act,

Lucinda had given Gail a thorough flogging and for the next three days forced her to kneel in the ancestral temple, until Debbie was discharged.

Debbie was surprised that Gail had brought up the things from their childhood. In Debbie’s memory, when she was a child, her grandpa loved her the most. The things the other kids had, her grandpa would make sure she had them too. She also had some things that no other kid had.

Her bedroom was packed with the princess dresses her grandpa had bought for her, just because she Liked them.

While Debbie was lost in thoughts, Lucinda stood up, intending to lecture Gail. However, Debbie put out an arm to stop her. Then she turned to Gail and said, “Nobody was ignoring you. The other kids and I wanted to play with you, but you always acted haughty, as if you were better than the rest of us. Whenever we played in the garden, you always told your mom on us. With time, nobody wanted to play with you anymore. You had made your bed, and you had to lie in it. It’s so unfortunate that you haven’t outgrown that juvenile stuff yet. Aunt

Lucinda and Uncle Sebastian are so worried about you.
