As he stared at her with passion in his eyes, he began to fantasize. He knew what Lay beneath thatdress, and he wanted to see it. God knew how much he wanted to take that dress off her and makelove to her.

After some wild fantasies, he swallowed hard and composed himself. He dismissed the maids. Then hewalked up to Debbie. When she Looked at him confusedly, he suddenly knelt on one knee and helpedher put on the shoes.

Debbie stared affectionately at the man helping her with her high heels. She was so moved. Ever sincehe regained his memory, he treated her so well, even better than when they were first together. Shetold herself to keep him at arm’s Length, but each time he treated her Like this, she couldn’t be mean tohim. She didn’t know what to do.

After helping Debbie with her high heels, Carlos opened the jewelry box on the desk and helped herput each piece on one by one, despite her reluctance.

“And now, the piece de resistance,” he announced. He was about to put it on her ring finger, but Debbieprotested silently with her index finger pointing forward.

Her meaning was obvious.

Carlos flashed a thin smile. He obeyed her this time and put the diamond ring on her index fingerinstead.

After that, she tried to draw her hand back, but he grabbed hold of it again. Staring into her eyes, hedeclared imperiously, “I’m just going to take your protests in stride. It’s normal to fight every once in awhile. But no matter what, you’ll be my wife. I’m not budging on this one!”
