INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 61 – 70
By Succie Brown.
“He has the nerves to still be alive?” Richard asked one of his employees, who reported the man’s condition to him.
“Yes, but he is in a coma” The fitted suit man answered.
“He should be in the grave, not in a coma!” Richard bellowed, aiming to leave, but Kristin blocked his part.
“Move” His eyes spoke anger.
Kristin was no longer afraid of him, she was getting used to his cold eyes, and anger.
“You have done enough”
“You think what I did was enough? That imbecile fucking touch you!” He raged, hitting his hand on the wall.
“I’m fine. He didn’t go further than grabbing my hair and hand”
“That’s why he should die,” Richard huffed, trying to leave again, but Kristin hugged him.
“Please, stay calm, I’m begging you. You have done enough, if I had stayed in the suite like you instructed, I wouldn’t have met him. What you did to him is enough, please” Kristin hugged him tightly.
Richard exhales, and slowly he calmed down. He broke the hug some minutes later, and cupped her face.
“You okay?”
Kristin nodded.
“I’m sorry you had to see me react that way”
“I am used to your anger, so it’s fine”
Richard’s smile slightly, and his eyes loomed at the man standing.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” He asked.
“I’m on it, boss,” He answered.
He was wearing a puzzled look on his face because he just saw Richard smile.
It was a slight smile, but it was a surprise to him.
“Did you talk to your parents?” Richard asked as they walked hand in hand to their suite.
“Yes I did. I can’t believe I’m already twenty five” She squealed.
“You’re still a baby”
“I’m not a baby” She frowned, but it was kind of cute.
“Yes you are,” Richard teased her.
“How old are you then?”
They both entered the suite.
“I was already talking and walking when you were born. If not for the malicious woman who happens to be my mom, I’d be in kindergarten”
“Oh I see, you are five years older”
“And that’s why I said you’re a baby”
“I’m not a baby!” Kristin snapped and Richard chuckled, peeling off his suit coat from his body.
Kristin felt happy seeing Richard smile, even if it wasn’t so deep, at least it was better than nothing.
“When did you start schooling?” Kristin asked.
“I was always locked up in the dark room, so I didn’t go to school until I was adopted by my dad”
“Julio?”
“Yes. He took me out from the street. I homeschool for a year, before I could go to a normal school. I was mocked by my classmates then, cuz I was the oldest in class.
At 12 years old, I was still in grade three. It was difficult withstanding the kids laughing at me cuz I was still struggling to read, but all of it pushed me to become better”
Kristin looked at him smiling.
“Are you trying to mock me cuz I couldn’t read at grade three?” He asked, and Kristin shook her head with a smile.
“I’m just impressed that despite all you faced in life, you didn’t give up. If what happened to you had happened to me, I would’ve been like a lost sheep”
“Although I am more successful than my adopted father, I owe him a lot. If he hasn’t took pity on me that day, I dunno if I will be counted as one of the billionaires in Vegas”
“Yes you would have. You are a workaholic, I’m sure you’d have figured something out”
“You think so?”
“Yeah. High thumbs up for staying alive to be successful”
“Thank you”
“But just a little bragging, I already knew how to read at six years old”
“Hey, Firefly”
Kristin chortled; “I was just joking”
“Come here” He demonstrated with his fingers.
Kristin shook her head, laughing.
“If I catch you, I’m going to squeeze your small body inside the toilet”
“Come get me if you can… I know how to read at six years old” Kristin teased laughing.
Richard tried to get hold of her, but Kristin ran, screaming.
She didn’t run for long, because Richard caught her.
“Your legs are short, and you think you can run with it?” His hands on her slender waist.
“Are you going to squeeze me inside the toilet?” She asked in a cute voice.
Richard raised his hand and it landed softly in her hair.
“You’re cute” He ruffled her hair.
