Chapter 1287
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Artie was Debbieâs father. And Ramona falling in love with Artie was the last straw. Elroy tried to put a
stop to this romance many times, but to no avail. Ramona and Artie married behind the old manâs back,
and she even gave birth to a sonâDecker.
Elroy flared up and took Decker away from Ramona. He changed the babyâs name to Decker Loftus,
and sent him abroad to let Debbieâs grandfather know how it felt to Lose someone close to you.
A year later, Ramona gave birth to Debbie. Elroy once again ordered his men to take Debbie away.
Ramona begged her father again and again to let Debbie stay with Artie. And Elroy finally seemed to
give in to her cajoling. But he had a condition-Ramona had to divorce Artie and leave the Nelson family.
Left with no choice, she did as she was told.
Because of the two kids, the Nelson family also hated the Loftus family very much. Elroy forbade his
daughter from ever visiting her children.

Of course, Ramona refused at first. She would never publicly go against her father, but instead met
Artie and Debbie in secret. But Elroy found out. His men abducted Ramona and held her captive. He
even tied her up and flogged her until she bled from many wounds.
From then on, Ramona didnât dare mention the Nelson family again.
When Decker was five years old, he was left in front of an orphanage.
Elroy kept his whereabouts a secret from Ramona and the Nelson family.
He even tried his best to make sure Decker would never amount to anything.
The Nelson family mounted a search for Decker, but came up empty-handed.
Debbieâs grandfather searched for Decker until his dying day. He failed and died in sadness. Later,
Artie fought bravely against a terminal illness and also died. Huge medical bills bankrupted the Nelson
family.
Debbie was the daughter of wealth and power until she was ten. But after that, she Lost everything.
After hearing the whole story from Ramona, Debbie said nothing, lost in thought.
She didnât expect that the story about her past would be soâ¦sad. Sad and annoying.
âYouâre strong enough to know the truth and do something about it. You and Carlosâ¦â Ramonaâs voice
trailed off. After a short pause, she added, âNow that Carlos is in your camp, Elroy canât do anything to
you. Curtis is also on our side. But Elroy has never tried to mess with
Curtis, so he canât do anything other than stay away.â
Now Debbie understood why Curtis had always been so nice to her. It was not just because he was her
uncle, but also because he felt bad for her.
When Debbie sat there silently, Ramona sighed helplessly. She picked up the gift bag she brought
over.
âIâve seen many mothers and daughters wear the same clothes. I want to do that with you. Happy
birthday,
Debbie.â
She placed the bag in front of Debbie, and took one last look at her before heading to the door.
Debbie didnât ask her to stay, nor did she say anything.
She just sat there for a long while. Finally, she picked up the bag and pulled the dresses out to look at
them. There were several dresses of different styles, which suited young women quite well. Designer
labels, too. These were certainly not cheap.
âShe must have the same dresses, â she thought.
Debbie Lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling. It was past 2 a.m., but she just couldnât fall asleep.
