Carlos stood, staring at his right hand.
When Debbie got married to Ivan, he placed her hand on Ivan’s with that hand. Now, he wanted to chop it off! Carlos felt like the biggest fool on the planet. He gave the woman that he loved and cared about the most to another man.
Carlos saw that he couldn’t change Debbie’s mind, so he decided to force Ivan to divorce her instead. Anxiously, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Ivan’s number. As soon as the call got connected, he said bluntly, “Call Debbie now and tell her to go to the Civil Affairs

Ivan was stunned for a moment. ‘Our marriage isn’t real, so there’s no need for us to get a divorce. But since Carlos has called me, then that must mean that Debbie hasn’t told him the truth yet and that he’s unable to make her divorce me, ‘ he thought. Ivan smiled to himself and then replied, “Carlos, don’t you think that it’s immoral to separate a couple?”
Carlos seethed at his reply and wished that he could skin him alive this very moment. Running out of patience, he warned Ivan in a threatening tone, “I will separate you two. She’s my woman! Ivan, divorce her now!”
Ivan sighed helplessly and said, “Okay, okay. She must be with you now, right? Carlos, please tell her that if she decides to get a divorce,
I’ll do as she says at any time.”
He left the ball in her court. Debbie would have the final say.
“She’s already made up her mind. She’s getting a divorce. Just go to the Civil Affairs Department now! We’ll be there soon,” Carlos said into his phone impatiently. With that, he walked up the stairs, loosening his tie.
“I have to get her there this afternoon, even if I have to force her to go, ‘ he thought.
“Well, no problem,” Ivan answered. His assent made Carlos feel a little better. He picked up the pace and walked rapidly towards
Debbie’s bedroom.
As soon as Ivan hung up on Carlos, he called Debbie.
“Hey. Carlos calledand askedto go to the Civil Affairs Department. He seemed to be in a hurry,” he said quickly.

I won’t.”
“Aren’t you afraid of him?”
Ivan asked, worried. He was afraid that Carlos would go to drastic lengths to get Debbie back, now that he had his memory back.
“If things get out of hand, I’ll just tell him that our marriage is fake and that you are going to marry Kasie,” Debbie answered nonchalantly. She didn’t want to tell Carlos the truth now. She wanted to teach him a lesson. She had suffered for three years, and it was tto let him suffer for a change.
Footsteps sounded from outside the door. Debbie got scared and immediately hung up on Ivan.
“Open the door!” said Carlos as he knocked heavily on the door. It rocked on its hinges.
Though he was on the other side of the door, she could see each knock as it landed.
Debbie trembled at every impact, as if he were pounding on her heart.
