INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 111 – 120

By Succie Brown.

Tears rushed down Kristin’s face after she screamed Luke’s name so loudly.

“Mr. Grouchy, Luke isn’t dead, right? He didn’t kill himself just because of Cecelia, right?” Kristin’s voice cracked with emotion.

“I don’t know, we’ll just have to see for ourselves,” Richard said. He was also scared that Luke might have committed suicide and finally realized how important Luke was to him.

Taking Kristin’s hand, they both headed in the direction of the gunshot. They found Luke standing with a gun in his right hand, his back turned to them.

“Luke,” Richard called out, and Luke turned to face him. He was tired of crying, but the tears wouldn’t stop.

“Richard,” Luke’s voice choked with emotion.

Richard and Kristin swiftly approached him.

“I wanted to die, but I couldn’t do it. The pain inside me is unbearable. I thought I could end it by dying, but I just couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to do it,” Luke sobbed.

Earlier, he had fired the gun into the air when he couldn’t muster the courage to pull the trigger on himself.

“I may not understand exactly how you feel, but don’t let Cecelia’s betrayal destroy you. It’s not the end of the world, Luke,” Kristin said, feeling sorry for him. She knew how much Luke loved his wife.

“But why me? Why do I have to go through this pain? I’ve been a good, faithful husband. I loved Cecelia with everything I had. For more than seven years, she was the only woman I ever looked at.

I worked so hard just to make her happy. There’s nothing I didn’t do for her. Why did she repay me this way?” Luke sobbed.

Richard gave him a comforting hug, gently patting his back.

“You’ve cried enough, Luke. She doesn’t deserve you, and she’s not worth crying over. Someday, you’ll find the right woman who will love you, even with your flaws. I guess Cecelia just wasn’t the one for you,” Richard consoled him.

“But it hurts so much, Richard. My heart is burning because I truly loved her. I loved her so much!” Luke cried miserably on Richard’s shoulder.

Kristin wiped away the tears that streamed down her face as she looked at Luke in his painful state. She was heartbroken to see such a righteous and loving man like Luke suffer from Cecelia’s betrayal. She was also thankful that he hadn’t gone through with his plans to commit suicide.

Luke eventually fell asleep after crying so much, and Richard brought him to his mansion. Richard didn’t take him back to his own house, knowing it would only add to his grief if he saw Cecelia.

“Look after him for me. I’ll be back,” Richard said.

“Where are you going?” Kristin asked.

“I’ll be back,” Richard replied, giving her a quick peck on the cheek before leaving. After he left, Kristin called Romina to come over, and she arrived in the blink of an eye.

It was the weekend, so Kathryn was with her grandparents.

“How is he, Kristin?” Romina asked as she sat beside the sleeping Luke, gently caressing his dark brown hair. She could see the tear-streaks on his face and felt sad for him.

“He fell asleep after crying a lot. I’m just grateful he didn’t go through with his plan to kill himself.”

“How could Cecelia be so cruel? Here I am, longing for him to love me, and she had his love and threw it away like it meant nothing,” Romina said.

“That’s why I feel so bad for him, Romina. I’ve witnessed his love for her. She’s just too greedy. I wish my buddy had never met her,” Kristin said, wiping her tears before standing up.

“If he wakes up, don’t let him out of your sight. He might have the urge to die again.”

“Are you going somewhere?”

“He’ll need a change of clothes when he wakes up. I’m going over to his house to get whatever he needs. I want him to stay here for a while. He can’t face that cheating wife of his right now.”

“Alright, take care.”
