INTO THE DEPTHS OF LOVE : CHAPTER 81 – 90
Kristin exhaled and smiled at Kathryn. “It’s possible for you to see him again. I’m… ” Kristin hesitated before finishing, “I’m married to him.”
“You’re married to him? Does that mean he’s going to be my Daddy since I don’t have one?” Kathryn asked loudly.
Kristin looked at her parents before turning her gaze to Kathryn. “You love your mommy, right?”
“Of course! I love you so much, Mommy. That’s why I never bother you about Daddy.”
Kristin smiled. “Can you do me a favor?”
Kathryn nodded, her gray eyes locked on Kristin’s brown eyes as she sat on her lap.
“Can you call me Auntie when you see him tomorrow?”
“Why should I call you Auntie in front of Daddy Richard? You said he’s your husband.”
Kristin bit her lower lip, gently caressing Kathryn’s hair while her parents and Romina watched them.
“He doesn’t know yet that I’m your Mommy.”
“You didn’t tell him about me? Why?” Kathryn asked with a sad expression.
“Don’t be sad, okay? I’m going to tell him, but I just need time. Will you do me a favor and call me Auntie when you see Daddy Richard?”
“I love you, Mommy, and I’ll do anything for you,” Kathryn said, hugging her.
Kristin sighed and hugged her back.

Kristin gazed out at the nightlife of Vegas from the hotel terrace, sadness in her eyes.
“Do you think it was right to tell your daughter to call you Auntie in front of Richard?”
Kristin turned and saw Romina approaching her.
“Where’s Kathryn?”
“She’s asleep with her grandparents.”
Kristin nodded and turned back to face the view, her hands resting on the terrace railing.
“Why can’t you just tell him?”
“It’s not that easy, Romina. You know how I got pregnant, right?”
“Yes, you made a mistake and can’t remember the stranger from that night. So what, Kristin? If he loves you, he’ll look pass your past and accept you.”
“I didn’t tell my parents the whole truth.”
“What do you mean?” Romina furrowed her brow.
“I’m in a contract with Mr. Grouchy. It ends in a year.”
“What? Why did you get yourself into a contract marriage?”
Kristin sighed. “There were rumors he was gay, and he offered to clear my parents’ debts. I had to agree.”
“Is he gay?”
“No. He doesn’t interact much with women, but he’s not gay. I’ll find a way to tell him, but for now, please don’t tell my parents about the contract.”
“I won’t snitch on you. You’re my best friend. But doesn’t ‘Mr. Grouchy’ sound funny?” Romina laughed.
“I’m the only one who can call him that,” Kristin smiled.
“So, does he love you back?” Romina asked.
Kristin shot her a look. “Don’t give me that look. You’re my best friend. I know you like the back of my hand.”
Kristin smiled. “He once said he thinks he loves me, but he was drunk at the time. I’m not sure if he really feels that way.”
“No man could resist falling in love with Kristin Santiago!” Romina declared loudly, spreading her arms wide. Kristin laughed.
“I thought you were an introvert?” Kristin teased.
“I can’t be an introvert around my best friend. Introverts talk a lot to people they’re close with. By the way, Justo sends his greetings.”
“Does he know I’m married to Mr. Grouchy?”
“I didn’t tell him,” Romina said with a smile. “By the way, do you know anyone named Luke?”
“Luke? Why?”
“I want to make him my husband.”
