The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 201
Thalassa paced back and forth in the living room. It had been over an hour since Luisa had gone upstairs after their argument, and Thalassa was really bothered.Usually, Luisa would call and ask her opinion about what dress to wear or how her make up looked, but she hadn't called her tonight.With a sigh, Thalassa climbed the stairs and knocked on Luisa’s bedroom door.“Luisa, do you need my help with anything?” she asked.“No, thanks,” came the curt reply.Thalassa pressed her lips together in frustration. Turning, she made her way back downstairs. Just as she reached the bottom, the doorbell rang.She walked over and opened it to find Alden standing there with an awkward smile. “Hey, Thalassa,” he greeted. “Is Luisa ready?”“I’ll go get her for you ”Before she could call for Luisa, her friend appeared at the top of the stairs and began descending, her eyes lighting up when she saw Alden. Alden’s gaze never left Luisa. “You look gorgeous,” he whispered.Luisa blushed slightly and

Kris groaned as he stirred awake, his head pounding with the force of his hangover. The sharp throbbing made him wince, and he blinked his eyes open to find himself sprawled on the floor of his living room. Slowly, he got up and stumbled upstairs, each step feeling like it echoed in his skull. Once he reached his bathroom, he opened the cabinet and grabbed a container of painkillers, popping two into his mouth and swallowing them dry. He caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, and the sight wasn’t pretty—dark circles under his eyes, messy hair, and his skin red. Worse was the foul taste in his mouth. His breath was atrocious.After brushing his teeth, he stripped out of his clothes and stepped into the shower. He stayed under the shower for a while, the cold water slowly helping clear some of the fog from his mind.By the time he finished, Kris felt a little better. He dried off and slipped into a pair of trousers and a simple shirt—nothing too formal. He had no intention of goin

Thalassa's hands trembled as she gripped her phone, her heart hammering in her chest after Betty's words echoed through the line: Kris knows. Panic shot through her veins like ice, but she tried to keep her voice steady as she spoke."What did you tell him?" "I didn't tell him anything," Betty replied, her voice tight with worry. "But please, Thalassa, don't ask me to lie to him again. I won't be able to do it. He's determined. I can see it in his eyes. Nothing's going to change his mind."Thalassa bit her lip hard. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be happening. She had only sent Kris a voicemail, telling him that they needed to talk. There was no way he could've known what she was going to tell him. So how did he find out?"Thalassa?" Betty's voice broke through her thoughts. "What should I do?"Thalassa's pulse raced faster, her mind racing to figure out why Kris would have gone to New York first instead of confronting her. Was he trying to take Alex away from her?The thought

Kris’s body shook as he continued to puke. He hadn’t eaten a proper meal in two days, so what was coming out of his mouth was mostly bile.His throat stung, and his stomach felt like it was twisting itself into knots. After what felt like forever, the retching finally stopped. With trembling hands, he flushed the toilet and pushed himself up from the floor.Walking to the sink, he stared into the mirror. He rinsed his mouth and spat, trying to get rid of the vile taste that lingered. But no amount of water could wash away the bitterness he felt inside. That’s when he saw Thalassa through the mirror standing at the door.“Are you okay?”Kris froze, his heart twisting painfully at the sight of her. He wanted to pull her close and hug her and thank her for giving him such a beautiful son, but all he could feel was the rage bubbling up inside, clawing at his chest. He hadn't said anything to her outside the house because he’d been afraid he would say something he would regret, but now i

Kris’s accusation hung in the air for several seconds as they stared at each other. His eyes were hard, demanding an answer. “Is that what you think of me? That I would lie about…about our child dying?” Thalassa finally broke the silence, her voice barely above a whisper. Her throat tightened with emotion as she struggled to hold back her tears. Kris finally pulled away from her, frustration radiating from his every movement. He threw his hands up in the air, pacing angrily. “What the hell else am I supposed to think, Thalassa? You told me our child died in your womb after my mother’s attack. But he’s sitting in that living room, flesh and blood, looking at me like I’m some goddamn stranger. So, yeah! I don’t know what the fuck else to think!” Thalassa stood frozen, each word hitting her like a punch. Her chest felt heavy, like it was hard to breathe. After a long moment, she took a deep, shaky breath and spoke, her voice trembling. “I was pregnant with twins, Kris.” Kris s

After what felt like an eternity in the washroom, Thalassa finally emerged. Her eyes were red, and though the tears had long dried, a deep ache still sat in her chest. Walking on, she came to a stop as she saw Kris and Alex sitting and playing together on the floor. Kris was in front of their son, gently rolling a toy car back and forth between them. Alex, who had been so wary of him earlier, was now giggling with unrestrained joy, his tiny hands clutching the car as they played. The sight brought tears to her eyes again, but Thalassa swallowed them back. Her heart clenched painfully as she realized how much she had kept from him. She had robbed him of this joy, of these little moments. It had been for a reason, but that reason felt so small in comparison to the reality of what was happening now. Suddenly, Kris looked up, his eyes meeting hers. For a moment, neither of them moved. His smile faltered, the warmth in his eyes flickering as something unreadable crossed his f
The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 207
Kris couldn't take his eyes off Alex, mesmerized by every giggle, every smile. His heart swelled as he played with his son, savoring the simple joy of pushing toy cars back and forth. For hours, they sat there, Kris losing himself in the world of his child. He cherished each small moment as Alex’s childish laughter rang out, bright and innocent. It made him forget, even if briefly, the storm raging inside him. Betty’s voice broke the peaceful bubble. “Time for dinner,” she said softly, her tone almost apologetic for interrupting the moment. Kris looked up, blinking as reality returned. "Good," he said, standing up with Alex in his arms. “I want to feed him.” Betty raised a brow. “Have you done this before?” Kris smiled, the sadness behind his eyes briefly masked. "I have a daughter... she's only two months younger than Alex. I used to feed her all the time." Betty’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “I didn’t know that.” “It’s a long story.” “Well, Alex usually likes to
The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 208
Hours later, Thalassa lay in her bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling, unable to sleep. After dinner, Kris had continued playing with Alex until their son grew tired. Betty had taken over, putting Alex to bed and showing Kris his room. The evening had passed in a strange haze, leaving Thalassa feeling like a stranger in the house she'd lived in for years. She hadn't spent much time with Alex since she arrived because interrupting his time with Kris always felt like a crime. Maybe that’s why she couldn't sleep. She needed to spend some time with her son, even if he was asleep now. With a sigh, she slipped out of bed, heading toward Alex’s room. Quietly, she opened the door and stepped inside, only to come to a stop. There, beside the small toddler bed, was Kris. He was crouched low, his hand gently resting on Alex’s blanket as their son slept peacefully. Kris turned at the sound of the door, his eyes meeting hers. "I’m sorry," Thalassa whispered, her voice barely audible. "I di

Karen paced the living room like a storm brewing in a too-small teacup, her arms folded tightly across her chest. She shot a glare toward her mother's lawyer who sat calmly with his briefcase beside him, waiting.“I don’t understand,” Karen snapped. “You’re already here, so why aren’t you reading the will? In fact, why do we even need to read it? I was her only daughter. I'm sure she's giving everything to me anyway.”Mr. Sawyer adjusted his glasses. “Ms. Blade, I ask for your patience. There is one more person who needs to be present before I proceed.”Karen’s nose wrinkled as she tilted her head. “What are you talking about? Who else could possibly need to be here?”As if on cue, the doorbell echoed through the house. Karen’s lips thinned, her irritation clear.“I’ll get it,” Bridget murmured, hurrying toward the door. Moments later, the click of heels and a deep, familiar voice caused Karen to freeze.Kris stepped inside first, his hand resting protectively on Thalassa’s lower back
The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 289
As Thalassa stepped down, the room was filled with sniffles and silent tears. Though she wasn't crying, the devastated look on her face and her touching words brought tears to everyone's eyes. All except for Karen, who was glaring at her from across the aisle.The somber mood in the chapel persisted as Bridget stood up and walked to the altar.“You were my boss,” Bridget began, her voice breaking slightly, “but also my best friend. A person with the rarest heart—one who could make anyone feel seen and valued.”She paused, swallowing back the lump in her throat. “You loved with your whole being. That’s who you were. To lose you… is to lose a light in this world. But I take solace in knowing you're at peace now, somewhere you can finally rest after all the pain life threw your way. You'll never be forgotten, dear madam.”The room was silent, save for the occasional muffled sobs of mourners. When Bridget sat down, the priest returned to the altar, gesturing for everyone to bow their head

“You signed Mum’s death sentence. It’s your fault she’s dead!”Karen’s tear-streaked face twisted in raw pain as she turned to Thalassa, her voice rising like a jagged knife.“That's not true!” She shouted, her hands shaking. “I didn’t know this would happen! How could I have known?”Thalassa’s eyes narrowed, her body trembling with barely restrained fury. Before she could speak, Kris stepped behind her, his jaw tight.“So it is true, Karen?” he asked, each word laced with disbelief. “You told Linda it was your mother who gave me the evidence? What the hell were you thinking?”Karen’s lips quivered, and she stumbled over her words. “I didn’t mean to! It just… slipped out while we were talking. I couldn’t take it back!”Thalassa let out a bitter laugh that was chilling to the bone. “Oh, I’m sure that’s the excuse you told yourself to sleep at night,” she snapped. “But we both know the truth. You knew exactly what you were doing. You were scared Linda would come after you, so you decide
The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 287
Karen gripped the steering wheel tightly as she drove, her frustration building with every mile. It had been three days since her mother last called her.Since the day she told her mother that she didn't want anything to do with her, the woman would call at least twice a day. But she'd gone three days without doing so, and it was grating on Karen's nerves.Had she given up already? Karen was damned if she would allow that.Right now, she was driving to her mother’s house, but she wasn't going there to reconcile. She just wanted to remind her of her betrayal and make her beg for her affections again.Pulling up to the gate, she frowned. The gate didn’t open like it always did. She waited a moment, growing impatient before honking the horn. Nothing. Annoyed, she picked up her phone and dialed Bridget’s number. “Why is the gate locked?” she demanded when Bridget answered. “And why isn’t anyone opening it?” Bridget’s voice was quiet, but the exhaustion in it was evident. “Because no

The room was quiet for a moment after the doctor’s announcement. Juana’s eyes glistened with tears as she looked up at him. “Thank you,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “Thank you so much.”Upon waking up and being unable to move her legs immediately, she'd truly been terrified, but this had given her so much hope.The doctor gave her a kind smile. “You’re a fighter, Ms. Juana. But remember, no stress. Rest if your head feels heavy. If it worsens, inform us immediately.”Juana nodded as tears spilled down her cheeks. Thalassa and Luisa exchanged a glance before speaking in unison, their voices filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Doctor.”He nodded again and excused himself, leaving the three women alone. Luisa and Thalassa moved to either side of Juana’s bed. Luisa gently placed her hand over hers. “I’m so happy to see you awake and well,” she said softly, her voice filled with relief.Thalassa bit her lip. “Juana, I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you saved my

Thalassa’s hands trembled at her sides as her furious words hung in the air. The weight of what she had just said, what she had admitted she wanted to do, filled the room with shock.Luisa placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, her voice trembling with worry. "Thalassa... please don’t talk like that. You don’t mean it." But Thalassa’s cold, unwavering gaze shot through her. "I mean every word," she bit out, her voice low and steely. "I want to kill her. I would be doing the world a favor by getting rid of someone as vile as Linda Miller. She’s a waste of a human being." Luisa swallowed hard, unease crawling up her spine. She had seen Thalassa enraged before, but never this murdurous rage. It scared her. "I know you’re upset," Luisa said, her voice soft but firm. "You have every right to be angry, but this isn’t you. You’re not a murderer, Lassa. You’re nothing like Linda Miller." Thalassa shrugged off Luisa’s hand with a sharp jerk. Her jaw tightened, and her eyes burned with fu

Thalassa buried her face in Kris’s chest, her sobs muffled against his shirt. His arms wrapped tightly around her.She clung to him, trembling, her mind screaming against the reality she didn’t want to accept. Rita was truly gone. The door creaked open, and Kris lifted his head. The doctor entered, followed by a nurse. This time, he didn’t ask them to leave. Instead, he approached Rita’s still form, his expression solemn as he checked her vitals. After a moment, the doctor straightened and glanced at the nurse. His voice was steady as he said, "Time of death: 7:21 AM." The words felt like a punch to Thalassa’s chest, knocking the air from her lungs. Her knees threatened to buckle, but Kris tightened his grip, holding her upright. The doctor turned to her, his face filled with sympathy. "I’m very sorry for your loss," he said softly. "It happened quicker than I expected. I’ll prepare the death certificate and arrange for her body to be transferred to the morgue whenever you’re

At Rita's revelation, Kris swallowed hard against the tightness in his throat. He thought he should feel shock or anger, but he didn't feel that. Not even disappointment. All he felt was a crushing sadness and a hollow ache in his chest that made it hard to breathe. Deep down, he'd known. He'd known his mother was behind it.But had it been too much to wish for his mother to prove not to be a monster for once? How far was Linda going to go? His jaw tightened as he looked down at Rita's frail form, her skin pale and her breaths shallow."I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice cracking under the weight of his guilt. He stepped closer to Rita, his hand hesitating before lightly brushing against hers. "I’m so sorry. You didn’t deserve this. None of this." His throat burned as he forced the words out. "I promise you, I’ll get justice for you." Rita’s eyes fluttered open slightly, her gaze cloudy yet still warm. She gave him the faintest smile, her voice a faint rasp as she whispered, "Wha
The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 282
Thalassa sat in the hard, plastic chair by the wall in Rita’s ICU unit, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. The sterile scent of disinfectant filled her nostrils, but she barely noticed it anymore. Her eyes were fixed on the frail figure lying in the hospital bed. Rita was surrounded by machines—a heart monitor that beeped steadily, an IV drip that fed her weakened body, and a nasal cannula that provided oxygen through thin, clear tubes resting against her pale face. She had always been so strong, so full of life. Seeing her like this, so still and vulnerable, made Thalassa’s chest ache. The machines keeping her alive felt intrusive, cold, and mechanical—so unlike the warm, loving woman who had been her pillar through so much. She rubbed her tired eyes. She hadn't slept a wink since last night, but sleep was the last thing on her mind. Her gaze darted back to Rita every few moments, desperate for any sign of movement. Nothing. A soft knock came at the door, pulling her from
