INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 101 – 110

Cecelia’s mouth fell open. “You… you’re joking, right?”

“I’m not. Richard nearly sent me to my grave, and I intend to return the favor.”

“He’s the reason you were unconscious in the hospital?” Cecelia asked, her voice tinged with surprise.

“Yes, and that’s why I need revenge. Lure Kristin to me,” Lewis repeated, his tone unwavering.

“I can’t do it,” Cecelia shook her head.

“Why not? I’ll pay you generously,” Lewis said, his eyebrows raised.

“I know, but I can’t. When you first asked me to befriend Kristin, I never imagined you’d want me to help you kill her. I’m not perfect, but I draw the line at murder,” Cecelia said firmly.

“You’re really turning down my offer?” Lewis asked, disbelief flickering across his face. He knew Cecelia was someone who loved money.

“Yes, I’m turning it down. Whatever grudge you have against Richard, deal with it yourself. I’m only your sex partner, not your accomplice,” Cecelia replied, standing her ground.

“I’ll give you some time to think about it. The money I’m offering could buy you the most expensive jewelry to show off at your next gathering,” Lewis said, trying one last time to persuade her.

“Don’t try to manipulate me. Call me when you need to satisfy your other needs,” Cecelia said coldly, standing up to leave.

As Cecelia was about exiting the café, Kristin spotted her with Lewis. She had just walked in to grab a coffee, her mom’s fashion store being decorated nearby.

“Cecelia? What’s she doing with Lewis?” Kristin muttered to herself.

She watched as Cecelia walked toward the exit, and quickly hid behind one of the large pillars. Kristin waited until both Cecelia and Lewis left before exhaling the breath she had been holding.

“Cecelia knows Lewis,” she whispered, stunned.

**GLAMOUR EMPIRE HOTEL**

“A client from Spain wants to celebrate his birthday in the casino. He’s vacationing here in Las Vegas and is asking permission to host the event,” Luke informed Richard, who was seated, smiling at a picture of Kristin on his phone.

“As long as he pays his bills and doesn’t cause any trouble, it’s fine by me,” Richard replied without looking up.

“Understood,” Luke said, heading for the door but then hesitated and turned back.

“Seriously? You forgave Kristin, but not me?”

“Are you my wife?” Richard shot him a glare.

“Come on, Richard. I didn’t tell you because I felt bad for her. I wanted you to find out on your own, which is why I kept pushing you to review her background.”

“I’m busy, Luke. You should be working, not talking to me,” Richard said, his attention still fixed on his phone.

Luke bit his lip. “Fine then. I’ll leave,” he said, heading for the door, but Richard’s voice stopped him.

“Are you free tomorrow night?” Richard asked.

Luke turned, surprised. “Why?”

“Let’s hang out—not as boss and employee, but as friends,” Richard said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

“Richard wants to hang out with me? Where did the old Richard go?”

“Should I change my mind?” Richard asked, mock sternness crossing his face.

“No! I’ll set up a schedule for tomorrow,” Luke said, smiling as he rushed out of the office.

Richard’s eyes remained glued to Kristin’s picture. “My wife is so beautiful. Should I go home and see her?” he chuckled to himself before receiving a call from Julio.

“Hello, Dad,” Richard greeted, answering the phone.

“Are you busy?”

“Not really, why?”

“Come over to the house. We need to talk.”

“Alright, I’ll be there,” Richard said, ending the call.

He stepped out of the hotel, climbed into his sleek black Mercedes-Benz, and drove to Julio’s mansion.
