A smile tugged at Betty's lips as she listened to the exchange between Kris and Thalassa, but when Thalassa shot her a sharp glare, she quickly wiped it away, replacing it with a stern expression.

“What were you thinking, young man? You could catch pneumonia standing in that storm,” she scolded, shaking her head.

Kris shrugged, his teeth still chattering. “Wouldn’t have had to if this stubborn woman here had just come out to talk to me once.”

Thalassa’s nostrils flared. “You wouldn’t have had to stand there if you’d just accepted that you’re not needed here.”

Sensing the rising tension between them, Betty interrupted, glancing at Kris with concern. “You're shivering. I’m going to get you a blanket. You should probably take off your shirt to warm up quicker.”

“Thank you." Kris smiled gratefully as he watched the woman leave, then he turned to Thalassa, hesitantly pointing at his shirt.

"Mind helping? I may not be wearing the sling anymore, but I'm not allowed to overwork my shoulder."

    “What the hell do you think you're doing?!”Kris quickly withdrew his hand, clearing his throat “I thought I heard something,”"So you thought that gave you the right to just enter the room? This is not your house, Kris." she fumed, her voice low but still laced with fury.Kris raised his hand in surrender. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I got curious, but I shouldn’t have tried to enter. It won’t happen again.”“Yes, it won't happen again because you're getting out of this house right now!"Kris was taken aback by the sheer anger in her voice despite the fact that she was speaking in a low tone, and how her voice was shaking. And once again, he saw the fear in her eyes.He took a step closer. "Thalassa, I said I was sorry. I-"“Why can’t you just leave me alone, Kris? Did you have to invade my life here too?”Kris could only stare back at her in shock. "Thalassa, why are so agitated simply because I tried to enter this room?"What didn't she want him to see? He stared at her, waiting for

    Thalassa’s heart pounded inside her chest so fiercely she thought it might burst. She wanted to tell him. She so badly wanted to tell him he was wrong, that she felt nothing for him. But the lie refused to leave her throat. Because, hell, she wanted him. She still loved him, and no matter how much she wanted to rip him out of her system, her heart refused to cooperate. But could they ever truly be happy together? She didn’t know. All she knew was that tonight, she wanted to forget everything that happened three years ago. She wanted to pretend they were back five years ago, when everything between them was so perfect. She knew it was dangerous. She knew she was going to regret it. But regret could come later. Before she could stop herself, she smashed her lips against his again. Their kiss was just as intense as the first time, but this time, they began moving along the hallway while their tongues battled. Before long, they were in a room. Thalassa didn't care which room it was a

    The cold morning air rushing over her skin jolted Thalassa awake. Snapping her eyes open, the first thing she realized was that she was lying on a hard, warm, and familiar chest.Memories of the previous night flooded her mind. It felt like a dream, but Thalassa knew better than to fool herself into thinking she hadn't been fully aware of her actions.Bracing her palm against the bed, she carefully lifted herself off Kris's chest, moving slowly to avoid waking him. She froze when he shifted and turned his head, but thankfully, he remained asleep.Quietly slipping out of bed, she stared down at him—at his beautiful, peaceful face as he slept, the naked expanse of his body, and the erection that had done things to her last night only he had ever been able to do.A sharp pang of guilt pierced her chest.What would he say if he knew the real reason she had kissed him last night?She had kissed him out of sheer desperation and fear. She had done it to distract him, to stop him from asking

    Composing herself, Thalassa glared at him. “Then I'll have the security guards throw you out.”Before Kris could respond, Betty's voice rang out from behind her. “Oh, you two are awake! Hope you had a good night. What am I even saying? Of course, you must've had a *magical* night!”She giggled, earning a sharp glare from Thalassa, while Kris flashed a faint smile, noticing that she was holding a black plastic bag.Turning to Kris, she continued, “Last night, after preparing your dinner, I came to call you down to eat, but the two of you seemed quiet... preoccupied.”Thalassa’s face flushed with embarrassment as she realized Betty had probably witnessed their heated kiss. She clenched her jaw as Kris looked at her, a teasing smile tugging at his lips.“I'm sure you didn’t eat at all yesterday, and that’s not good. Come on, let me warm up the food so you can eat something. I don’t want you passing out.”“There’s no need for that because Kris is leaving now,” Thalassa interjected quickly

    As soon as the little boy set eyes on Thalassa, his face broke out with pure delight. "Mummy!"“Sweetheart,” Thalassa croaked, moving toward the bed and pulling him into a tight embrace. She held him close until he wriggled in her arms.“Mummy, let go!” he giggled.Thalassa chuckled softly and loosened her hold, pressing a gentle kiss on his forehead. “I’m sorry, baby. Mummy’s just feeling a bit emotional today.” She wiped away a stray tear and glanced at Betty. “Why was he crying?”Betty smiled warmly. “You know how he gets when he doesn’t see anyone after waking up.”Thalassa sighed and met Betty’s gaze. “You don’t seem surprised.”Betty scoffed lightly. “That Kris is the father of Alex?" Betty scoffed. "Oh come one. I knew it the moment I saw him on the CCTV. Even a blind person won't fail to see how much the boy looks like his father. I assumed it was a lovers falling out thing and now he's trying to make amends.""What surprised me," she continued. "was when he didn't even once a

    “Oh my goodness, I don’t even know what to say. I can’t imagine how it must feel to be told that,” Betty whispered, her voice thick with sympathy.Thalassa didn’t need her to say anything more. She burrowed deeper into the older woman’s embrace, crying much harder than she'd cried in such a long time, until her sobs subsided.“Nobody deserves to go through something so cruel. Trust me, that woman won’t get away with her crimes forever,” Betty murmured, her voice firm. “Karma will take care of her.”“Karma?” Thalassa let out a bitter chuckle as she pulled back from the hug. “I don’t need karma to deal with her, Bertha. I’ll bring justice for the child I lost myself.”“That’s why you returned to Baltimore and only visit Alex every two weeks,” Betty deduced, her perceptive gaze fixed on Thalassa. “You've been trying to get justice.”Thalassa nodded, silence falling between them for a few seconds before Betty hesitated, then asked, “Does Kris know his mother had you attacked the day you g

    The slap was so brutal that Karen’s head spun, her ears ringing loudly as she clutched her cheek in pain.“Mrs. Miller, it’s not what you think—” Henry started from behind Linda, but she whirled around and silenced him with a slap of his own.“Oh, really?" she snarled. “What is it then? Karen was feeling aches all over her body, so instead of going to a spa, she came to your apartment for a naked massage because you're such an expert?”Another slap followed, snapping Henry's head to the side. His nostrils flared, and he glared at her, stepping forward threateningly.“What are you going to do?” Linda asked coldly, tilting her head challengingly. “Hit me? Go on. Hit me.”Henry clenched his fists but, after a tense moment, he stepped back. Linda scoffed, disgust twisting her lips. “Now I see why I never liked you. For a moment in the past, I thought you were the better friend after I asked Alden to convince Kris to drop his ridiculous idea of marrying Thalassa, and you agreed to do it. I

    Thalassa's plan to return that night was derailed by another storm. But deep down, she was grateful for the delay, because it meant she got to spend more time with Alex.Thankfully, Kris didn’t show up outside the gate like he had the day before, which would have forced her to let him in again.However, that didn’t stop him from sending her a series of texts from a different number, telling her how much he missed her, how he couldn’t stop thinking about their night together, and how he planned to make her the happiest woman on earth when she gave him another chance.‘When’, not ‘if’. Every time she read one of those messages, she felt a few bricks fall from the walls she’d built around her heart.The following morning, she flew back to Baltimore. After dropping off her luggage at the house, she headed to the office, texting Luisa to let her know she was back.A few minutes later, her office door swung open. Thalassa stood up, and they embraced.“I can’t believe I missed you this much

    “What’s wrong with my wife, doctor? Is she okay?” Kris questioned at the hospital after the doctor was done examining Thalassa. The doctor offered a reassuring smile. “Mr. Miller, please calm down. Your wife is perfectly fine.” Kris’s heart slowed just a little. “Then why did she faint?” Thalassa was sitting up on the hospital bed. Her brow furrowed, and her lips pressed into a thin line. “Doctor, it’s probably menopause,” she said matter-of-factly. “I haven’t had my period in two months. I know it happens earlier for some women.” She wasn't exactly pleased that she was having her menopause at 40 years old, but she had been expecting it. The doctor shook his head gently, a knowing smile on his face. “Mrs. Miller, it’s not menopause, I assure you.” That didn't help to assuage Kris's worry. “Then…what is it?” The doctor looked between them, savoring the moment before delivering the news. “Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Miller. You’re three months pregnant.” For a long second, sile

    THIRTEEN YEARS LATERIt was the thirteenth anniversary of Kris and Thalassa’s remarriage, and as had become their tradition, it was a time for celebration with loved ones.The familiar hum of laughter and clinking silverware filled the air, creating a cozy, joyful atmosphere.At the adults’ table, Thalassa sat with her chin resting on her hand, her smile gentle as her gaze lingered on the people who had become their family. Alden and Luisa were seated across from her.Their three children—Andrew, the 12-year-old charmer; Matthew, the mischievous 9-year-old; and Emma, their 5-year-old firecracker—were occupying their seats at the kids’ table.Beside Alden and Luisa were Zeke and Millie, who had flown in from New York with their boisterous 10-year-old triplets, Max, Mia, and Miles.Alex and Tessa were sitting at the adults' table. No longer children, they'd blossomed into young adults. Alex had grown into a tall, broad-shouldered, and cool-headed teenager, much like his father. While Te

    The car pulled into a luxurious beachfront resort, its white walls gleaming against the backdrop of the turquoise ocean.Thalassa blinked, the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore stirring something deep in her memory.They were in Cabo San Lucas.The moment it clicked in her mind, her breath hitched. She glanced out at the golden sands stretching endlessly before her, the rugged cliffs towering in the distance, and the sparkling waters that seemed to stretch into infinity. This wasn’t just any place.It was the place she'd thought she and Kris would be going for their first honeymoon while getting married five years ago. But of course, right after their wedding, Kris had cancelled their honeymoon.Her chest tightened as a surge of emotions threatened to overwhelm her. She turned to Kris, her voice barely above a whisper. “You remembered.”Kris’s lips curved into a soft smile as he reached for her hand, brushing his thumb over her knuckles.“Of course I remembered,” he said

    After his aunt disappeared from sight, Kris made his way back to Thalassa on the dance floor. She stood there, her eyes soft and grateful, watching him approach. Her expression said everything—how much his unwavering defense against Cynthia meant to her. When he reached her, she tilted her head and whispered, "Thank you."Kris cupped her cheek, brushing his thumb against her skin. “You don’t have to thank me, love,” he murmured.Straightening, Kris raised his voice to the room, announcing, “Alright, everyone! Let’s get back to celebrating!” The guests cheered, and almost immediately, the jovial atmosphere returned, laughter and clinking glasses echoing in the air.As the music played on, Kris slid his arms around Thalassa’s waist, pulling her close. Before she could react, he dipped his head, nuzzling her neck with deliberate passion. The soft tickle of his lips against her skin sent a shiver down her spine, and she let out a surprised laugh.“Kris,” she whispered, her laughter bub

    Kris’s fingers trembled slightly as he slid the delicate band onto Thalassa's finger, his gaze locked onto hers.Her lips quivered, tears glistening in her eyes, and when she looked down at her hand adorned with his promise, she sniffled and quipped through her tears,“Now how am I supposed to top that vow?”A ripple of laughter echoed through the guests, softening the intensity of the moment. Kris chuckled along with them, his own eyes wet as he mouthed, I love you.Zeke stepped forward with the second ring, offering it to Thalassa with a small nod of encouragement. She took a deep breath, steadying her emotions as she began her vows.“Kris,” she started, her voice trembling but firm. “We’ve been through more than a lot of couples ever have since we fell in love. We've experienced more heartaches than a lot of couples have. We've cried more tears than a lot of couples have. But we’ve also survived more than most couples could ever dream of surviving. Despite everything, every obstacl

    ONE MONTH LATER... The beach was transformed into a paradise, a breathtaking blend of romance and nature. Rows of white chairs with soft blue ribbons faced an altar made of driftwood, wrapped in delicate white fabric that fluttered in the breeze. Seashells and flowers adorned the aisle, their fragrance mingling with the salty ocean air. Lanterns filled with candles were set along the path, their flames flickering gently despite the sunlight. The waves whispered as they lapped the shore, a soothing background to the laughter and murmurs of the gathered guests. Among the guests sat a healthy Juana, her face radiant with happiness. Though she now had to walk with the help of a cane, her physiotherapist had assured her that she would soon be walking on her own two feet. Kris stood at the altar, his fingers clasped tightly in front of him. He adjusted his tie for the umpteenth time. “Dude, you're acting like you haven't done this before." Alden chuckled, standing to his left as his

    Tessa pulled back from the hug first, her little hands clasped together as she looked up at Alex with wide, curious eyes. "Do you want to play with my dollhouse?" she asked, her voice light and full of hope. Alex tilted his head, thinking. "Okay," he said, then quickly added, "But we will play with my toy cars after. Okay?" "Okay!" Tessa agreed with a grin. "Let’s go!" The two children turned and, hand in hand, skipped off together, their laughter echoing. Kris and Thalassa watched them go, a shared warmth blooming between them as they stood side by side. Rising to his feet, Kris turned to Thalassa, noticing the shimmer of tears in her eyes. His brows knitted together in concern as he stepped closer. "What’s wrong?" he asked softly, brushing a stray tear from her cheek. Thalassa smiled, but it was tinged with a bittersweet emotion. "It’s just… Alex has always wanted a little sister. Ever since he was old enough to understand what that meant. I never thought I’d be able to give

    Kris and Thalassa both knelt as Alex barreled into their arms, his small frame colliding with Thalassa first. His tiny arms wrapped tightly around her neck as he exclaimed, "Mummy! I missed you, Mummy!"Thalassa’s arms encircled him, her voice trembling as she whispered, "I missed you too, sweetheart. So much." Her fingers gently stroked his hair as their joy filled the room. Despite himself, Kris suddenly felt a slight wave of anxiety.He had only spent a few days in New York with Alex weeks ago. Sure, they spoke on video calls almost daily, but what if the boy didn’t greet him with the same joy? What if Alex still felt distant toward him?But as if sensing his hesitation, Alex, while still hugging Thalassa, stretched one small arm toward Kris.“Daddy, come!” he said, his voice warm and inviting.Kris felt his chest swell with emotion. A grin broke across his face as he leaned into the embrace, his arms encircling both Thalassa and Alex. Together, the three of them shared a family h

    Kris was in Tessa's room, leaning against the doorframe, his gaze fixed on the small figure curled up in bed. Her breathing was soft and even, her chest rising and falling rhythmically under the fluffy pink comforter. Moments ago, she had clung to him, her small hands gripping his shirt as she begged him to promise over and over again that he was her daddy, her only daddy, and that he would never let the bad man take her away.Now, she slept peacefully, her expression serene, as though the weight of her fears had finally been lifted after his promises.The sound of soft footsteps behind him pulled Kris from his thoughts. He turned to see Thalassa standing in the doorway, a faint smile on her lips.“It’s done,” she said simply. stepping beside him. “That coward is in jail.”“Good." Kris gritted his teeth together, feeling a surge of relief. That scoundrel was finally where he belonged. But he was confused about one thing.“Why now?” he asked. “You had evidence against him all this tim
