INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 201 – THE END
Richard set Kathryn down and held Kristin’s hands.
“I’m sorry for keeping it from you, Forevermore. I was afraid you’d be mad at me because I… forced myself on you.”
“You didn’t, Heartbeat. It was the drug at work. The least you could have done was to tell me.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. We’ve been through so much to be angry about this. Besides, I’d want no one else as Kathryn’s father but you, Heartbeat.”
Richard smiled and hugged her. Kristin felt a small pang and winced.
“Are you alright?” Richard asked, concerned, touching her belly.
“I think the baby is eager to come out now that there’s no more threat,” Kristin said with a smile.
They all shared a joyful look. Though they had lost Ophelia, there was a reason to smile again.

**TWO WEEKS LATER**
Cecelia entered the visitor’s room and found Luke waiting for her.
“You finally decided to visit me?” she said, sitting across from him.
“How have you been?” he asked.
“What do you think? I’m in prison, living with just one hand… I know what you’re going to say: ‘I deserve it, so why bother complaining?’”
“I didn’t come here to scold you.”
“Then why did you come?” Cecelia asked.
“Despite it all, I’m sorry. If you hadn’t married me, you would’ve met a better man who could provide the luxurious lifestyle you want without blinking an eye.
I am sorry, Cecelia, and even though we can’t be together, I hope you change. Maybe, just maybe, Richard might have a change of heart and bail you out, but that’s not likely.
Even if you live in jail for the rest of your life, I want you to be happy.”
“You love someone else, right?”
Luke looked at her and slowly nodded.
Cecelia blinked back her tears. “Congratulations, Luke. I’m sorry if I took the love you gave me for granted, but I hope you never come back here again.”
“Cece—”
“Have a nice life with her. I wish you all the best, but this should be the last time you come here,” Cecelia said, and left before Luke could say anything.
Luke sighed, feeling sad, because Cecelia was his first love, but his heart now belonged to Romina, and there was no need to be sad.

The prison gate opened, and Margaret stepped out.
“It’s good to see you again, Margaret,” Kristin, who was standing beside Richard, said with a smile.
“Kristin!” Margaret rushed to hug her, then broke it after a few seconds.
“I was wondering who paid off the money I stole and bailed me out. I had no idea it was you,” Margaret said, excitedly.
“My husband was the one who settled everything. I told him about you, and he was willing to help out,” Kristin smiled.
Margaret looked at Richard with a nervous smile.
“Hi, Mr. Richard.”
“If you ever steal again, I will be the one to send you to jail.”
“Yes, boss,” Margaret said, saluting him like a soldier.
Kristin laughed, while Richard smiled lightly.
