Chapter 193 - Confession part 2 (2/2)
”To be honest... I think it only lasted 8 hours.” Kris recalled.
”Tell me how it went.”
Kris put a hand on Lena's head and consoled her. ”I married my best friend. It took a few years after my mother work up before she could steal me back from my grandfather's hold. It was a cold rainy night, that I had to choose between friendship or family.”
Kris' eyes darkened as he looked into the night sky. ”My grandfather was the only one I considered family then. Hugh and I... come from families that can never be friends.”
Hugh... that name again from Kris.
”Hugh was the only person that made me experience being a child, well before you that is. I infiltrated the place he was staying at, killed his security team and pointed my gun at him, a person who was completely defenseless. Hugh laughed at me and told me to fight like a real man. I tossed my gun aside and we fought with fists.
Hugh was never much of a man who was brought up to fight and kill. I put my arm around his neck and chocked him breathless, no sympathy for our friendship. However, at that moment of his last breath, he said ”Ada... Marry me.” I don't know why, but I stopped chocking him. He coughed for a long time and I stared at his bloody face. He told us to get married. If we were to get married, then the two families would not kill each other.
At that moment, I looked at the child who showed me the first brightness in my dark world. The stupidity of our youth and friendship, we ran and got married. Faked our age but got a real marriage.”
Lena looked up at him. ”And I thought I was the only one who was stupid... Did you kiss the.. bride?”
Kris smiled and kissed Lena on the head. ”No, you're not the only one who is stupid. We're both stupid. And no, I did not kiss the bride. Hugh and I drank all night and when I woke up, I almost killed him again for making me marry him. We got a divorce the next morning and Hugh covered our tracks.”
”How did you even get married so late?”
”In Vegas.” Kris answered.
”You flew to just get married?!”
”No silly. China has a few places like that too.”
”I swear, if I ever meet Hugh, I will choke him to death myself. WHY couldn't he stay imaginary!” Lena fussed.
”Feel free to choke him.”
”If you faked your age... then you technically were not real people. So your marriage was not real.”
Kris held Lena tighter and ruffled his nose on her hair. ”Lena... let's make our relationship entirely real.”
Lena sat up and stared at Kris. It's confession time part 2. ”You remember that time I was drunk... I lied to you. I remembered everything, even when.. I... kissed you.. a lot.” She waited for Kris to respond.
He kissed her nose. ”I know you lied.”
”What?” Lena was shocked. How many more things does he know? ”Well, you know that time you had your second relapse, well, I kissed you there too! I did not punch you.”
He smiled and kissed her forehead. ”I know that too.”
”What?!”
”Keso brought over the video recording of the camera in the alley. The flight was flickering because it was using more electricity to record than lighting up the alleyway.”
Lena blushed. He knew everything!!
”My turn.” Kris held pulled Lena's head toward him and deeply kissed her lips. After a few seconds, he released her. ”One time, you were sleeping and I french kissed you without your permission”
”When?!”
”Hmmm...” Kris tried to remember which day it was exactly. ”The day Andy stayed at your place.”
”That was a long time ago!”
”Yeah... I have liked you since then.” He kissed her again and carried her soft tender body to her room. ”You're the brightest star in my life.”
