Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Carlos looked at him. The old man had worry written all over his face.
As soon as Carlos ended the call, James immediately Launched into his spiel.
âCarlos, I can explain. It was a trap-â
âSo the news is true? You had an affair?â Carlos inquired in an icy-cold voice.
James plopped onto the sofa and scratched his hair with an anguished look.

âLook, I was wrong. A moment of weakness, I admit. Butâ¦â He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.
âBut I didnât mean to do it.
Someone set me up. The woman in the video was hired by someone. I was drunk and that woman

âCarlos, I apologize to you and your mom. Iâve disgraced you. Iâm holding an emergency meeting now

matter what.
