Chapter 1167
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Ivan didnât bother belaboring the point. Instead, he asked bluntly, âSo why Megan? Why did one of your
men rape and kill her?â
âWhat are you talking about? Better yet, who are you talking about?
Megan?â Aldrich admitted to nothing.
âThe engineer who raped her worked for you. Iâm not stupid. Why?â Ivan stared at him with a fierce
Look; he was so disappointed in Aldrich. He thought he knew the man in front of him, but it turned out
he didnât.
âDammit Ivan! Iâm your boyfriend. Why donât you trust me?â Aldrich complained bitterly.
Upon hearing the word âboyfriend,â Ivan pulled a long face and snapped, âBoyfriend? I never agreed to
that!â
Aldrich hugged Ivan tightly and clutched his shirt. He gave him a pitiful look.
âIvan, weâve been together for five years. You dumping me?â
Ivan pushed him away. Aldrich fell and only through last-minute maneuvering hit the couch. Ivan stared
down at him and said in a cold voice, âQuit it! Iâm married now.â He pulled out a bank card from his
wallet and handed it to him.
âHere you are. Three million dollars.
Enjoy. Donât call me again!â
Instantly, Aldrichâs eyes brimmed with tears. Without sparing a single glance at the card, he yelled in a
sobbing voice, âIvan, do you remember your promise? Five years ago, you said weâd be together, that
youâd take care of me for the rest of my Life. Youâre throwing all that away over a woman? So what
happened to the fake marriage? Thatâs what you told me it was. To make your mom happy. But now
youâre dumping me because of her. So tell me-do you love her?â
But Ivan wasnât stupid. He was afraid Aldrich might go after Debbie. So he tried to explain, âThe
marriage is fake. Sheâs like my own sister, for Christâs sake. Sheâs in love with someone else. Five
years ago, I didnât know my own feelings. Now I do. I promised to take care of you, not let you do
whatever you want. Am I clear?â
Seeing that Ivan was determined this time, Aldrich was flustered.
âYouâre the only one I want. Without your love Iâm nothing. Ivan, I love you. And you love me.â Tears
welled up in his eyes, and a single drop found its way down his face.
âSay it! Debbieâs not good for you.
Sheâs a whore. She even has a kidâ
âAldrich!â Ivan interrupted him angrily.
âSheâs not that kind of girl, regardless of what youâve read in the tabloids. And besides, this isnât about
her. Goodbye, Aldrich.â
âIvanâ¦â ALL of a sudden, Aldrich calmed down.
Ivan stared at him without saying a word.
Aldrich asked in a serious manner, âDonât you love me anymore?â
Ivan shook his head.
âNo, I donât. Megan was the straw that broke the camelâs back. You really let me down this time.â
âMaybe I never Loved you, * Ivan thought to himself.
All the blood drained from Aldrichâs face as he Laughed out loud sarcastically.
