Chapter 1055
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
You saw me crying like a baby coming back from a hike.
Wiping the tears from my face, you cheered me up and told me everything would be all right.â
Kasie got off the stage in the middle of the song.
A member of the crew handed Debbie a guitar. She took it and fastened the mic to the stand, and
continued, âWhen I saw your tears, I wanted to say, âLovely girl, we need to be strong. There are many
more people who love us in the world. Put on a smile and live bravelyâ¦'â
When Emmett died and Kasieâs heart was broken, Carlos had fallen into a coma. Debbie was beside
herself with grief and was soon forced to Leave the city. She had always hated that she couldnât be
there for Kasie during that dark time when she must have needed a shoulder to cry on.
So, separated from her friend, she poured her heart out through her songs.
Countless glow sticks swayed back and forth in unison in the dark. Many fans raised signs saying âWe
love you Debbie,â or âMy bias Debbie.â
The words shone in many different colors, made even more colorful by the glow sticks.
The concert went more smoothly than Debbie had anticipated. When she went to the dressing room to
change her clothes during the intermission, Ruby asked excitedly, âDid you invite Carlos and Wesley?
The reporters are hovering around outside like vultures. Be careful.â
The stadium was packed to the gills. There were simply too many people, with twenty thousand inside
the venue and ten thousand outside. It was standing room only. In that sea of faces it would be difficult
to pick out a special guest.
âIâm a singer, not a miracle worker. I didnât invite them, and they wouldnât come even if I had.â Yates
Loved Piggy. He knew how important the concert was to Debbie, so of course he had come. Debbie
begged him every chance she got to have him invite Carlos too.
âHow about Xavier? Heâs working on an international business dispute case, isnât he? When did he get
here?â Ruby asked as she put on the belt of the dress for Debbie.
âGet the black stilettos and strap them on her,â she told Debbieâs assistant who was standing nearby.
âI invited him. I need his help here,â Debbie replied with a nod.
She had forged a relationship with Xavier for a reason, and now finally it was time for him to play his
part.
Ruby gave her a thumbs-up.
âNice! So even Carlos is here. Youâll be the talk of the town after tonight.â
Debbie straightened her clothes and smiled at her.
âThatâs the plan, right?â As a pop star, popularity and attention were the basis of her success. The
Longer she stayed in the public eye, the longer she could remain on top.
Three minutes Later, the concert resumed.
Debbie had invited a popular male artist to sing âThe Mysterious
Mermaidâ as a duet with her. The crowd cheered even louder as he walked onstage into the Light. He
didnât have all of the first verse, so it was an even bigger surprise to see and hear him there. And after
the first few lines, his studied tenor came through the speakers.
âThere is a pretty fish in an ancient fairy tale.
She Looks wistful and distant. People shed tears at her melancholy and beautiful songs.
