INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 1 – 10
•RICHARD’S VILLA•
Kristin entered Richard’s room like a snail, so she won’t wake him up.
She just wanted to check up on him, only to discover he was having a difficult time sleeping.
His eyes were tightly shut, and he was sweating despite the working air-con.
It was so obvious that he was struggling to catch a glimpse of sleep, but he couldn’t.
Richard was having a hard time sleeping, because anytime he closes his hands to sleep, the small dark room from twenty years ago always appears to him.
“Mr. Grouchy” She muffles.
Seeing the beats of sweats all over his face, Kristin quickly went to get a piece of cloth.
She climbed the giant bed and began cleaning the sweat on his face.
“I wonder what you’re going through, Mr. Grouchy,” Kristin whispers.
With his eyes still closed, Richard’s hands slipped to her waist, and he hugged tightly, making Kristin gasp.
She didn’t see it coming.
Kristin tried taking his hands off from her waist, but Richard held onto her waist like it was his breathing machine.
She was indeed his breathing machine, because he drifted into sleep, after he possessively claimed her tiny waist.

The talking alarm of Richard woke him up, that it was time to start another day.
He slowly opened his eyes, and he was stunned at what he saw.
His head was resting comfortably on Kristin’s chest and his hands were still glued to her waist.
“What the heck…” He muttered and took his hands and head off from Kristin, who was still sleeping.
Did he spend his night in the arms of a woman?
How come he was able to fall asleep? On a normal night, he doesn’t sleep until it was close to dawn. How come the impossible became possible last night?
Richard asked the walls in his room, but since the walls couldn’t talk, he didn’t get the answers he needed.
His eyes slowly went to the woman sleeping in his bed. She looks so fragile and innocent when she sleeps.
Richard swiped his dark hair to the back when he remembered he was the one who wrapped his hands around her last night.
What was he even thinking when he did that? His subconscious mind asked him.
Without waking Kristin, he got down from the bed and got ready for the day’s business.
He was about to knot his tie when Kristin woke up, yawning and stretching her body.
“Since you’re awake, leave” His usual cold voice said, Kristin stopped yawning and stretching.
“Good morning,” She said.
Richard only nodded.
Kristin came down from the giant bed and went to him, their height difference sparkling in the air.
“Are you okay now?” She asked.
“Why would you care?” He asked in return.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had a Phobia to jangling sounds. Luke told me last night, so I already disposed the ball anklet, I won’t wear it anymore” Kristin demonstrated.
“It’s understandable why Luke told you about my phobia, but if it gets out of your mouth, you are dead” Richard warned with his cold eyes.
Julio and Ophelia didn’t know about his trauma for Jangling sound. If Ophelia knew, she’d have used it against him.
“Don’t worry Mr. Grouchy, I don’t go around snitching on people” Her bubbly dazzling smile flashed at him.
“You can leave,” Richard said, focusing back on his tie.
“Let me help you with that” Kristin quickly carried the round ottoman chair in Richard’s room and placed it in front of him.
She climbed the ottoman chair and she smiled when she was finally in the same height with him after climbing the chair.
“What are you doing?” He asked.
“Knotting your tie” She beamed a smile at him.
