Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter 1175

“Your word? What a load of crap! Stop treating me like a halfwit!

You’re not going anywhere!” It was not easy to snare Debbie. That was why he abducted Kasie. She cared a lot about her friends, and didn’t want to see them hurt.

“Look, this is between you and me, not Kasie. So here’s the plan. Let her go, call a lawyer, I sign the papers, and we’re done with all this,” Debbie offered.

A thoughtful look crossed Aldrich’s face. It didn’t sound Like a bad idea.

Just then, Ivan called Debbie. She pulled her phone from her pocket and swiped to accept.

“Hi.” She answered it calmly.

“Don’t promise him anything. Hang on. I’m on my way,” Ivan said anxiously.

“He knows, ‘ she realized. ‘He knows everything.’ With a smile, she said, “You don’t have to—”

Before she could finish, a bodyguard rudely snatched her phone away.

“Hey! That’s my phone!” she shouted.

Aldrich ignored her, as if her words were vapor that had dissipated. He took the phone from the bodyguard and looked at the caller ID.

Instantly, his face turned green. He got flustered. It took him a long while to compose himself. Then, shakily, he put the phone to his ear, and said, “You…you know?”

Debbie couldn’t hear what Ivan said to him. Aldrich’s hackles rose. He suddenly got out of the chair and yelled, “No! You don’t get it! I want her gone! Then you’ll come back to me!”

Without waiting for Ivan’s response, he hung up angrily.

“Tie her up! Burn the place to the ground!” he ordered with smoldering eyes.

‘Aw hell! This son of a bitch wants to kill me!” Debbie realized.

Before the bodyguards could get to her, she ran over to Kasie. She roundhouse kicked the man standing beside Kasie, sending him rolling painfully on the floor, covering his face.

A second man dashed towards her and went sprawling after she kicked him in the knee. Debbie pulled out her dagger and was about to cut Kasie’s bonds when three more men popped up. ‘More of them!’ she thought.

She had to use the dagger for self-defense. Even with the threat of the blade, the bodyguards were able to hold her off. Some of them grabbed for her arm, trying for a joint lock. While they couldn’t get her to drop the knife, she couldn’t stop them, either.

She had to think of something else.

One of the bodyguards kicked at her but missed. Debbie rolled backward to put some distance between them. Now was her chance! She plucked a hairpin out of her hair, pressed it twice to shoot a silver needle at him. It buried itself in his body.

The man didn’t feel a thing at first. In less than two seconds, he staggered and went to his knees, weak as pudding.

Aldrich saw this. A sinking feeling filled him. This would be harder than he thought.

Quickly, Debbie had tackled two bodyguards. By now, the third knew she was armed. He fought more swiftly so that she wouldn’t have a chance to reach her weapon.

Debbie was practically backed into a corner. Her dagger flashed, high, low, overhand. She slashed these men with the dagger again and again
