Chapter 1
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âPhilip, this is the divorce agreement. Iâve already signed it. Please give it to Carlos.â
Debbie Nelson plucked up her courage and handed the signed agreement to
Philip Brown, the steward of the Hilton family.
Philip was shocked by the words âdivorce agreementâ. His first thought was that Debbie wanted to get
a divorce so as to carve up the property that belonged to Carlos Hilton.
But as he looked through the document, he saw that she wanted to give up everything, including her
share of the mutual property.
Philip heaved a heavy sigh.
âDebbie, why are you being ridiculous? Why would you want to divorce Mr. Hilton and even choose to
give up your property?â
Debbie was only a college student, and she had no parents. It was unwise for her to ask for a divorce
now, much less give up her property that was worth quite a fortune.
Embarrassed, Debbie looked away and scratched the back of her head.
âCarlos and I have been married for three years, but our marriage only exists on paper. I donât want to
waste my time on him anymore,â she admitted, instead of hiding the reason from Philip.
She had a life of her own. She did not want this nominal marriage to take her youth.
In her eyes, Carlos was merely a stranger whom she had never met literally, so she had nothing to lose
if she let him go. Besides, this marriage was arranged by her late parents. She had no feelings for it at
all.
âI see. It seems that youâve already made up your mind. Today⦠No. I will give this to Mr. Hilton
tomorrow.â
Debbie let out a sigh of relief.
âThank you, Philip,â she uttered with a lovely smile on her face.
Philip stood up to leave. But before he took a step, he turned to
Debbie and stated, âDebbie, Mr. Hilton is a good man. In my opinion, you two are a perfect match. I
hope you think it through again.â
âA perfect match?â Debbie repeated in her mind. But she had not even seen her husband in the past
three years. Even if they were a perfect match, so what?
A bitter smile formed on her lips. She took a deep breath and firmly replied, âPhillip, Iâve made up my
mind.â
The next afternoon, Phillip still had not received a call from Debbie.
He had expected her to regret her hasty decision to get a divorce or at least add some conditions to the
agreement. However, she did not.
Resigned, Philip took out his phone and dialed a number. As soon as he was connected to Carlos, he
said, âMr. Hilton, thereâs a document that needs your signature.â
âWhat kind of document?â Carlos asked indifferently.
Philip hesitated for a moment before answering, âItâs⦠a divorce agreement.â
Carlos, who was dealing with some papers in his office, stiffened.
